John Oliver’s prank on the New York Yankees has been a roaring success, and the Yankees have finally responded.
This week, we’ve seen costumed fans sit in the ultra-expensive premium seats at Yankee Stadium after Oliver sold the tickets for 25 cents to the fans with the most outrageous outfits.
According to Bleacher Report’s Danny Knobler, the Yankees fired back Thursday with a thank you message to Oliver on the videoboard.
The prank certainly got the Yankees’ attention. After Ninja Turtles, Sharks and Thursday’s dinosaurs, they cracked. They couldn’t stay quiet any longer.
The recognition on the Yankee Stadium videoboard means that Oliver won — there’s no denying it. This was Hall of Fame-level trolling executed to perfection.
