French Olympic pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati, who went viral after knocking down the bar with his bulge, shared a hilariously pensive video on TikTok reacting to his newfound stardom—and fans are loving it.

The Olympics are always full of unforgettable moments, but they're usually about sports.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics? Well, for better or worse it's pretty hard to think of a moment that will have a more lasting imprint on everyone's memory than pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati knocking the bar down with his... well, the pole in his pants, if you will.


Naturally, he became an overnight viral sensation on the always horny internet, and Ammirati finally addressed his newfound fame in a hilarious TikTok this week.

Je sais pas trop si je dois le prendre bien ou pas du coup 😂 #olympics #paris2024

In it, Ammirati eats his breakfast while staring despondently into the middle distance while mournful music from SpongeBob plays.

Onscreen text over the video reads:

"POV: You create more buzz for your package than for your performances."

In a caption, Ammirati hilariously wrote:

"I'm not too sure if I should be taking this well or not, ya know?😂"

It's good that Ammirati can have a sense of humor about it, because he was understandably very disappointed when his mishap occurred, calling it "a big disappointment" afterwards.

He's definitely not the only one laughing about it now, however.

The comments on Ammirati's TikTok immediately filled up with jokes and double entendres from newfound pole vaulting fans.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
