Despite excitement levels being through the roof forGrand Theft Auto VI, not everyone is happy. Well, unless you’re out to make a few million dollars for making silly demands.
Enter the ex-convicted criminal dubbed the “Florida Joker” who was parodied in thedebutGTA VItrailer. According to areportfrom USAToday, Lawrence Sullivan shot to “fame” for having a 2017 mugshot with his face having some resemblance to DC’s The Joker. Lawrence was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed firearm.

It’s no secret that throughout the years theGrand Theft Autoseries has given us its fair share of satirical comedy parodying real-life situations and personalities. In the recentGTA VItrailer it featured several parodies including one of the aforementioned “Florida Joker”.

Seemingly growing more desperate to gain a response fromRockstar Gamesand parent company Take-Two Interactive, the Florida Joker not onlydyed his hair purple in a TikTok videoto closer resemble the parody in theGTA VItrailer, but he was also sporting a prison jumpsuit (presumably purchased from a fancy dress shop). He also upped his original demands from one to two million dollars, to three million dollars.

While I’m sure Sullivan would welcome a tidy fortune from the likeness used under fair use, I’m convinced he’s trolling and if so, fair play. I’d be shocked if Rockstar Games coughed up any cash, after all, ifLindsey Lohan failed, I can’t see the Florida Joker having any real success other than gaining clout on his social media channels. That being said, I’m sure this will not be his last demand. Hopefully, come release, Sullivan will at least be gifted aGTA VIpress kit and a box of Snickers.
Grand Theft Auto VIwill be released in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
