From the moment Will Connolly, affectionately dubbed Egg Boy, smashed an egg on the head of the racist Fraser Anning, we’ve all been trying to figure out how to bloody thank the lad… and thank him hard.
It’s difficult to put into words how stupid Anning’s response to the murder of 50 people in the Christchurch terror attacks were but somehow, egging him as a result fits perfectly.

On Instagram, Egg Boy has amassed a following of over 300,000. His latest post, dating back to February 7, has over 130,000 comments. A lot of them are versions of “Living legend” and “You’re a fucking good egg.”
A fundraiser has also raised more than $28,000 for the mate, with $$$ going to legal fees and more eggs.
The GoFundMe page, which has since been in contact with Connolly, says Egg Boy is “committed to sending a majority of the money to the victims of the Christchurch terrorist attack.”
Living ! Legend !
Meanwhile on Twitter, musos and music festivals have reached out to Connolly to offer free tickets and passes for life.
“In egg boy we trust,” The Living End tweeted with their offer.

Earlier today, Egg Boy tweeted that he had “no regrets” egging Anning. Although, he added: “Don’t egg politicians, you get tackled by thirty bogans at the same time, I learnt that the hard way.”
In Egg Boy we trust.
