##Welcome!

The subreddit for videos where there's some unexpected thug behavior showing when least expected.

We're looking for videos that showcase someone you definitely do not expect to be a bad ass or a thug, but then acts in a certain way.

They usually end or are accompanied by a rap/hip/hop beat near the end for comedic effect. That's about how plain and boring I can explain it to you, you have to see it to love it.

Here are two examples of what we are looking for:

Nerf Gun Review Thug

Can't Tie Shoes Thug

Popular music used in True Thug videos.

##About Thug Flairs

True Thug flairs indicate what we are looking for in this subreddit and what we believe stands out from the rest, but at the least contains Unexpected Thug behavior.
