The use of the word "epic" here is completely justified.

A guy named Roman Atwood set up cameras, got tons of toilet paper and hit Howie Mandel's mansion in an EPIC prank.

He trucked in more than 4,000 rolls to get the job done, but didn't need about half of them.

It will put any toilet-papering pranks you've ever attempted to shame.

Check it out.

"How do you even get in the house?" said Mandell after he got over the initial surprise. He started throwing rolls at Atwood, who offered to help clean it up. Eventually, Atwood tells us, a cleaning crew was called in.

Atwood, a self-described professional prankster, said he "crashed" for four days after doing the prank. He also said in a behind-the-scenes video that he had "never" toilet-papered a house.

As for why Howie? "To be honest I wanted to do a very big toilet paper prank. Being a friend of the Mandels I was able to talk his son Alex into getting me in the (gated) community and he was also able to talk his mother (Howies wife) into playing along."

Adds Atwood, "He's also a legendary prankster and it's always good to prank a prankster."
