Thug Life By David / May, 09, 2025

A man was annoyed when he was told that he could not get into his Netflix account since the account was already being used on a lot of devices. All worked up by this, he found his own way to kick one of the users off it.

The one thing that is extremely annoying for all of us is when we want to watch our favorite show or movie on Netflix but we keep getting kicked off because the account is already full. It’s not so maddening when your friends pass on your Netflix account to their friends or family, but it sure is infuriating when the latter don’t care if others get to watch it or not. And since the maximum limit on Netflix is 4 screens, you cannot use a Netflix account on more than 4 devices at the same time.

This man has shared a brilliant way of kicking people off his shared Netflix account and the video of the same has tickled his followers’ funny bone. Famous on TikTok with the username @notelgnis, he went on to watch Netflix but was interrupted with the annoying notification that his Netflix account was already being used on too many devices. After this, he can be seen calling his friend who he was suspecting to be using the account. Later in the video, he asks his friendly to immediately check channel One as there’s some breaking news.

He stayed on the call until his friend exited Netflix. Then he immediately switched on his own TV and put Netflix on. This was how he got onto the platform and kicked his friend off it. This also means that when his friend would’ve tried to get back on the app, he would’ve got the same message; “too many devices.”

In the clip the guy can be heard saying: “What are you doing?” To this his friends replies: “Just chilling, about to get my haircut.” The man then asks him if he has his TV on and the friend replies with a yes. The former asks him to immediately put on Channel One and tells him that the Queen’s dead. He stays on the call until his friend has exited Netflix and put on Channel one, as he can be heard asking his friend if he’s put the channel on.

Next, a news reader on BBC One can be heard and the man immediately gets into his Netflix account and loads an episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and then says: “Nice one mate, I’ll see you in a bit.” Within no time, this video got viral on TikTok , racking up more than 500,000 views with countless likes and comments.

One user commented: “You’ve won the internet today, howling.” Another one said that the video had made their night. A third user wrote: “Well I mean he was about to leave for a trim, so I guess it’s acceptable.” A person, who was surprised by the man’s choice on Netflix mockingly wrote: “All this to watch Friends.”
