Ben Shapiro attempted to act masculine

Ah, the legendary "Ben Shapiro vs. Punching Bag" saga—internet gold that's been knocking around (pun very much intended) since at least 2021. In this viral clip a scrawny young dude (often misidentified as Shapiro) trash-talks a speed bag in a gym, only to get absolutely owned when it rebounds and smacks him square in the face, sending him stumbling out like he's just debated facts and lost. It's become a go-to meme for dunking on Shapiro's combative, fast-talking persona, implying even inanimate objects can shut him down.
