The Perfect Punishment
As a true comedian at heart, Average Rob never breaks character, even during his hiatus between August 2018 and February 2019, when he returned with a perfectly reasonable and amusing explanation for his absence.
During his hiatus, Average Rob humorously explained his absence with a picture that depicted him in what seemed like a chicken coop, surrounded by pigeons. And, yes, Eminem was there too. He humorously apologized, claiming that he hadn’t posted because the rapper had supposedly confined him to a pigeon cage for dissing the spaghetti made by his mother.
A Cracking Party
Kevin Hart is renowned for his humor, and hanging out with him likely involves non-stop laughter and great vibes. Adding Average Rob – who’s known for his comedic antics – to the mix would undoubtedly make the vibe even more entertaining.

Taylor’s Love of Legos Brings Some Pain
Legos not only provide endless hours of entertainment but also serve as a favorite choice for parents who appreciate their ability to keep kids engaged while fostering their cognitive development.
But, even the joyous world of Legos has its pitfalls, as Average Rob painfully discovered here. A seemingly innocent encounter with a stray Lego, left carelessly by singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, turned into a painful misadventure.
