I wonder if she watches his videos
That is not an emu that’s an ostrich named Man Man.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ostriches United!
#FREEMANMAN🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YAAASSSS!!! Man Man for President 😂😂😂
@@mildredpierce4506 😂😂😂😂😂
That's MAN MAN !!!!! There's a guy on KZhead who does voice overs, and he's the way I first saw Emmanuel!! I love that Emu!!!
That’s where I first learned of Man Man. And you’re right about the voice overs. They are hilarious. I shared them with family and friends.
@@mildredpierce4506 Oh my gosh!! He makes me laugh EVERY TIME!!! And I think he does Man Man so very well!!! You must have seen his other voice overs!!! He can take almost any animal video and make it hilarious!! I just HAD to show my husband and put some on Facebook! He can make me laugh, even if I'm not feeling so good!!
His name is rxckstxr. Some people have been stealing his content. Him and his brother have been working on an animated movie, I forgot the name off hand.
@@paulapalais Yes,I found his name. I think he's hilarious!! I really hope he and his brother can get their movie done because I'd love to see it! As for the thieves,I abhor people who do that!! I hope Rockstar can do something about it. It's just easier for me to remember Rockstar! It always works!
Ostriches Unite! ✊🏾
I miss hearing iH8RxCKSTxR's voiceover for Man Man! AKA Emmanuel Todd Lopez 😂😂😂😂
Me too! Ostriches unite!
Man man doesn’t like it when you use his govt name 😂
So do I. 😢
HIS NAME IS MAN MAN AND HE IDENTIFIES AS AB OSTRICH…OSTRICHES UNITE✊🏾
Thanks for not using the government name.
😂😂😂 🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯
If not for the voiceovers, I'd never know anything about this...
That's the only time I ever found _TikTok_ entertaining.
Man man
Ostriches unite!! Love you, Man Man!!
Sorry... All I can see is 'Man-Man' screaming, "Ostriches Unite!!" 😂
Man Man with his hat had me in stitches, where you at Tony you got to do Emanuel in his farm hat!
Best wishes to Emanuel and his family. He is fighting avian flu right now and several birds on their farm have died. Be strong..... you can make it. Sending hugs from California.
How did this end up if you dont mind me asking? I cant find anything…
@@noahbaldwin8499 ..... I read several respected news sources that 3xplained that Emmanuel the Emus Avian Flu tests came back negative and that multiple tests and samples og different fluids were conoleted just to make sure. His owner explained to reporters that her particular vet and their local authorities (because Avian Flu is catastrophic to livestock) did the testing and disclosed the results and they came ro the conclusion that the Emu became ill due to stress after experiencing the majority of the bird flock that he lived with dying within one week. His inability to stand, eat and drink water was a stress reaction to his environment becoming very stressful. Having cared for large animals as well as several large birds myself I can verify that this indeed happens. I've seen animals lose weight and appetite loss due to stress and exhaustion. They stated they expect Emmanuel to make a full recovery.
@@noahbaldwin8499 turns out he didn’t have avian flu, but got stressed out when over 98% of the birds on the farm were culled due to the avian flu. Luckily he’s recovering from the stress.
Stay strong, Man Man.
My guy Man-Man! 🤣
That's Man man😎
Man-Man done got his come-up. I'm gonna call him an ostrich now. Lol
He’s man man! Ostrich’s unite! 😂
I love Emmanuel Todd Lopez. That not-so-little fellow makes the world a better place.
Why you gotta use his government name? 🤣
Not the government name 😂😂😂
That's man man, OSTRICHES UNIIITE
My Boi Man Man done made it to NBC! #ostrichesunite
Right?!? 😂😂😂
Man man!!! Looking spiffy in your little cap.🤣❤😘🤗
I’m loving looking at him especially with Tonys voice overs,hilarious,😂😂😂
Im glad Emmanuel recovered 😢😢
He's a flightless bird, should have thought that through, 😂😂 Thanks Taylor, even without rockstars voiceover, ya'll are still really funny. Thank you for allowing rockstar to help you to take it to the next level, not much family comedy these days, please keep it up ManMan rules, Ostriches Unite Blue Mule
Am I missing something? Isn’t Man Man an Emu? He doesn’t have wings like ostriches. I just saw one of her videos just recently.
Emmanuel needs prayers right now. I'm sorry he is sick right now
Emmanuel Todd Lopez is his government name. That’s Man-Man. ❤
Why did he really look away from her like "but but I can't fly 😐" 😅😅
he really looked like he was listening intently and communicating with her...even if we couldn't hear it. 🤣
Look at bird bath 🦚😊
When he wears a tiny hat...that kills me. 🤣
I first saw her and was like isn't that the person who was on reality house? Love to see everyone gets to love her the same way many people have loved her on reality house!
J Fox, look at bird bath
The vibe is anxiety 😂😂😂😂😂
Souparnika Krishnan, look at bird bath
I prefer the videos that "rockstar" has dubbed giving emanuel (sorry MAN MAN) "sass" lol😂
FREE MAN MAN🤣✌❤
When she becomes a mom she's going to be great when it comes to giving kids "the look". The look is what makes them realize instantly they are Not going to get away with anything, because mom knows all. Even when we don't.
Judi L, look at bird bath
Yeah but Emmanuel never listens.
Princess is a mood too. But when Princess and Emanuel are together, it's a total chaos.
I am a bird person and love Emmanuel Todd Lopez!!!
government name 😭😭😭
Emmanuel aka man man! 🤣🤣
Oh wow -- that's Man-Man -- I discovered him via the animal voiceovers done by Rockstar!!! I am so glad that he survived the bird flu -- he is much beloved by the internet.❤️💯
Am I strange in wanting to see a meeting between Man man and Karen of Useless Farm?
You didn't ask the one question that I wanted to know - How did he get the name Emmanuel Todd Lopez?
I've always liked her cows Homer and Humpty, but I'm glad she found fame through Emmanuel the emu!
Vivian Tang, look at bird bath
Emanuel the Emu ancestors fought in the great emu war and the Iphone reminds him of a machine gun.
The homie man man 🤣🤣💯
Taylor and her emu are hilarious.
I hope we get to see a lot more of Emmanuel and his human. 🤣
_My beloved Emu. The story has been yours all along. You just didn't know it._
Emmanuel is his Government name. His stage name is Man-Man! Get it right!
2:03, he hit the camera with that, “Did you really just ask me that?! You know I can’t fly, right? And people think I’m the crazy one…”
Got to love emus. They do exactly whatever they want to do. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 where the emus roam.
He's hilarious 😅
She is trying to educate the people, but she can not get her dam.. bird under control, ahaha!
That’s Man Man 😂😂😂😂😂
It's Emmanuel Todd Loez and Joseph Gordon Levitt. 👏
"The vibe is anxiety" Me and you both, Emanuel.
Hey ya'll, it's Man Man!! 🤣
Emmanuel Todd Lopez! You made it, Kid!
PG Hurd, look at bird bath
Man Man for president!
"EMMANUEL make GOOD CHOICES"!!!🤣😅😆😂
Go Taylor and Emanuel so happy for you!!
I just found them on Twitter a few days ago. They're hilarious. What a cool place to grow up. BTW, she said there's a fake Twitter account for the farm and she's asking everyone to help get it taken down by reporting it.
Sasha, look at bird bath
Love love love Taylor's videos and of course Emanuel Todd Lopez the Emu!!!
Lesley Schultz, look at bird bath
