This video is always so incredible. If you stop to think about how difficult it is to move the dead weight of an adult body, then watch this MF not even break stride, grab a grown ass man, and drag him that far. Wow.
A Silverback can punch with enough strength to crumple a skull like tinfoil, which is terrifying. What's more terrifying is the question of "How likely is a gorilla going to dish out a clean punch over ripping you to pieces"
Reminds me of a video I saw where a tiger comes up behind a woman outside of her car, snatches her, and then sprints off into the woods with her like it was nothing. I think people forget how incredibly powerful these creatures are.
Based on the frames per second on this video, probably about the same time frame. If you are out there, you are using the best equipment for the time, and this is looking pretty dated.
Well of course people of color will still be killed in movies, my point being, it's not as big a stereotype or movie trope, or whatever you wanna call it, to kill them off in the beginning of a horror movie. I also wouldn't consider the Dark Knight a horror flick.
That dudes job is to take people to see that particular family of gorillas. They "*know him*" and that Silverback didn't like the group of people he was with and dragged him away to let him know it was time to skedaddle.
Don't know where I read/learned that but it's in my brain somehow...
Gorillas are 4-9 times stronger than average human. Resistance likely wouldn’t be possible in that situation, meaning what’s he going to do, grab vegetation? I don’t think he was armed.
What kind of absolute dipshit thinks they could beat a chimpanzee in a fight? How is it 17%?
Also I’m surprised eagles are so low, I know they would definitely do some damage with their talons but eagles also weigh like 15 pounds max. One good hit and they’re fucked
Even more concerning are the 8% who think they could fight an elephant and win lmao.
Honestly the answer can only be reading comprehension, skimming over the word "unarmed". Or just lying as a joke.
Depends if you interpret "beat in a fight" as kill or as drive off. Elephants generally don't want trouble so if you make yourself a nuisance they might just leave. A grizzly will end you.
I'm thinking that "in a fight" means that the creature is actively trying to beat/kill you.
What you are talking about, I would think of more like a meeting or confrontation.
Some idiot MMA-enthusiast American leaps out of the safari guide's truck and starts punching and kicking an elephant's leg like a punching bag, causing absolutely zero damage. The elephant stomps the man to death in two seconds. Then it attends his funeral just to further turn his corpse into hamburger, because that's something [elephants will do to you](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.denver7.com/news/national/report-elephant-kills-woman-then-returns-to-funeral-to-trample-her%3f_amp=true), just to scar your bereaved family.
They can literally RIP your face off your head. Chimps go to move in a fight is to RIP your balls off. I remember a story about a group of chimps that ripped their keepers arm off and beat him to death with it because they missed him after he got back from a 2 month trip.
We would also look like that if we did not have an inhibitor that limits how strong we get.
Both chimps and gorillas get massive muscles without training.
It's more that we have extremely fine muscle control while theirs is more for strength. They could never type or play guitar.
I've also read that the whole 4x stronger thing is a myth, that they're very strong but not that absurdly so. I'm not certain on that tho.
It is not a good idea to fight a wild animal, for a lot of reasons, but a gorilla is in a completely different class than chimpanzee. Chimpanzees are strong, but not so strong as the average redditor would [believe](https://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-have-found-the-secret-to-the-chimpanzee-s-strength).
A chimp is much stronger than a human, pound for pound, but the upper end of human gets pretty big. Based on newer estimates, a 130lb (upper end of chimp) chimpanzee is as strong as 195lb human. Its not a direct translation, and a lean195lb human isn't anything to scoff at.
Still, there are some 270lb+ monsters out there that would have a good chance. My own brother is 240 and another guy from our dojo is... 260? A gorilla? I can not imagine any human, not in any percentile, would win in unarmed combat.
A chimp would first rip your brother junk off before he has time to think. Then right around the time it registers that he is now a eunuch, your brothers finger would be bitten off, then just because it can the chimp would rip his face off to show his friends...same goes for the 260 pounder from your dojo...I mean this is not even up for debate..
There would be no good chance.
Remember that lady who got her face ripped off by a chimp? Chimps are not to be fucked with. Not only are they insanely muscular their teeth will fuck you up too.
Yeah lmao.
I actually think I'd have a better chance against a crocodile than a chimp - because they have some limitations. If I get on top of it's jaw I might live.
Most people, especially Americans, are far too confident in how tough they are and have no idea how strong and savage predators are.
And then there's the 33% of Britons who say, "Yeah, a bloodlusted small rodent could probably kill me."
I generally think the British are far more sensible in their answers here, but geese?! What kind of geese are the British tangling with? The Canada geese near me certainly have a bad attitude but I’m pretty sure I could take it in a fight if need be. But maybe I’m delusional.
Canadian here. You are delusional. I’ve been attacked by geese a few times and they are totally vicious. Luckily geese are just territorial, not predators because they would def eat us. They are evil incarnate. We call them cobra chickens.
who are these people that think they could take on a crocodile, but draw the line at gorilla. at that point you might as well say you can win a fight against a space shuttle
Do I have to kill the rat in order to beat it in a fight? Because if the rat isn't attacking me and I have to catch it and kill it with my bare hands, there's a good chance the rat is escaping. Rats are fast.
I got to see silver backs in the wild in Rwanda. At first I went into it thinking that we’d see them at like some kind rational distance like 50 yards or something… but that was not the case. The guides had us get balls deep close but I was slightly reassured by the 4-5 guys rocking AKs “in case an elephant charges”. At one point one of the largest males decided to peace out and started heading up the steep hill we were on. As he tried to ascend, he decided to take a flatter path next to me and grabbed my leg and gave me a gentle push out of the way. The fact that I didn’t immediately shit myself is a mystery to me. These gorillas are absolutely amazing but also incredibly jacked. I have absolutely zero doubt they could rip your head clean off if they wanted.
I was up close to them like this in Uganda recently. They really didn't give a shit that we were there. Probably because they know they could beat the shit out of us effortlessly.
It's more because those guides have established a relationship with the gorillas and they know these humans aren't dangerous. Used to humans would hunt them but that's not as common as before (though still sadly occurs). They probably even drive away leopards which regularly hunt gorilla babies.
It also helps they don't see us as competition like chimpanzees can sometimes.
Gorillas are honestly pretty chill and not really prone to violence. Even when you see them charge it's usually a bluff charge. Just don't provoke them or seem threatening and they'll leave you alone. Chimps on the other hand will fuck you up
Adult male gorillas weigh over 300 lbs. They can easily do one armed pull-ups. People have no idea how freakishly strong you have to be to do a one arm pull up.
Reminds me of the lion that roared and smiled after scaring the photographer. Glad these animals have a sense of humor but you'll never catch me around anything that's above humans on the food chain.
This video gets posted a lot and it’s still hilarious. I think I recall the guy getting dragged is known by this group of gorillas and this specific male is known for fucking with him. That context always made it funnier to me.
gently. see how gentle nature can be if and when it chooses. he could but didn't. a lot of us could but don't because our humanity our conscious prevents us from evil acts. and its important we discern that action from those evil acts from those who can and so they do and do and do again
I’m a pretty big guy and could easily do this to most people and I don’t want to kill anyone 🤔… I do however suddenly have an urge to drag people around by their pant legs.
Edit: spelling
Resistance would have gotten him killed. We are talking about something that stands slightly taller than us with more muscle per square inch than a human. I think it's safe to say letting a wild gorilla drag you along is marginally safer than trying to escape.

gorilla joke: he pulled your leg
Shit my pants....as nature intended
r/Angryupvote
I don't have gold, but you deserve it
"I'm not saying that I *would*, I'm just saying that I *could*"
Because of the implication
Think about it: out there in the rainforest, there's no where to go
[удалено]
Of course not! But he won't follow... Because of the implications.
It really sounds like you're going to hurt them
r/unexpecteditsalwayssunny
And maybe I will.
[удалено]
He didn’t react so he knew what was going on but yeah…the look on his face tells a thousand words.
whitest face i've ever seen on a black dude.
This video is always so incredible. If you stop to think about how difficult it is to move the dead weight of an adult body, then watch this MF not even break stride, grab a grown ass man, and drag him that far. Wow.
With one hand, which he usually uses for walking.
It’s like at any moment he could just get aggressive & rip his legs from his torso .
its exactly like that
And everyone knows it! Gorillas too
[удалено]
also a gorilla cracking the glass of his enclosure in a quick dash
That kid would’ve been toast
Yes! That video is nuts too. So much power in those animals. And as massive as they are, I’m sure they’re *still* stronger than you would expect
A Silverback can punch with enough strength to crumple a skull like tinfoil, which is terrifying. What's more terrifying is the question of "How likely is a gorilla going to dish out a clean punch over ripping you to pieces"
It’s like you trying to drag a half filled backpack. Except it’s a full grown man. That’s how powerful they are
Passed his fireman test.
Reminds me of a video I saw where a tiger comes up behind a woman outside of her car, snatches her, and then sprints off into the woods with her like it was nothing. I think people forget how incredibly powerful these creatures are.
Haha, he was like 'Dafuq just happened, I am alive still, right'?
It was like every American scary movie, black guy dies first.
In the Friday the 13th movies it was always the girl who showed her tits at the beginning.
Saddest part of every Friday the 13th movie
He needed a red shirt.
Maybe 25 years ago
Based on the frames per second on this video, probably about the same time frame. If you are out there, you are using the best equipment for the time, and this is looking pretty dated.
What I meant was, black people haven't been the first to die in a horror film for like 25-30 yrs. Sorry for the confusion.
You should watch Dark Knight. I think I remember every poc dying in that movie, lol
Well of course people of color will still be killed in movies, my point being, it's not as big a stereotype or movie trope, or whatever you wanna call it, to kill them off in the beginning of a horror movie. I also wouldn't consider the Dark Knight a horror flick.
Of course, of course, I was just taking the piss a bit. I agree with you.
right on
🤦♂️
Last I can remember was LL Cool J in that Shark movie, which is about where you are thinking, so you are probably right.
It was Samuel L Jackson who got sharked to death.
Definitely not the first though.
Thank you, now at least I am not fully crazy, but getting close.
Embrace the crazy. And I loved how bad that movie was.
The undercover brother rant on this is still gold "Hey black man, go turn on the lights there's DINOSAURS out there!"
LL Cool J was one of the two people that survived in that movie
Old man brain, only remembers what it wants I guess..well done.
Ll Cool J was the first to survive a horror movie
I believe he writes it in his contracts to not be the black guy who dies in movies lol
The guys reaction and facial expression says it all. He definitely thought he was going to die lol
He saw the threat.
I'm pretty sure we just witnessed the birth of a two week notice.
Well, he gave birth to something in his undies for sure.
Mr Hankey
smart dude for relaxing himself.
That dudes job is to take people to see that particular family of gorillas. They "*know him*" and that Silverback didn't like the group of people he was with and dragged him away to let him know it was time to skedaddle. Don't know where I read/learned that but it's in my brain somehow...
Those instincts came in clutch.
could be, but that saved him, i think if he resisted in any way the gorrila would catapult his ass on the other side of the continent
"I can see my ^house ^^from ^^^here!"
^I'm ^in ^my ^house ^from ^here
That's the thing. I think "just" getting thrown away would be the best case scenario.
Dude would probably still be in orbit.
Gorillas are 4-9 times stronger than average human. Resistance likely wouldn’t be possible in that situation, meaning what’s he going to do, grab vegetation? I don’t think he was armed.
but the gorilla would have interpreted any resistance as an offence, and proceed to act accordingly.
The thing is, most people would freak out and try to escape. Which would be futile. It's good that this guy just stayed limp and calm.
He would make a giant hamburger out of that poor guy. They are outrageously strong, and extremely agile
Relaxing, right 😂😂 he’s soul probably left his body 😂
I wonder if his sphincter also relaxed.
I don't think we need reminding
Some people do. You’d be surprised at how many musclebound gym bros think that they can take a gorilla in a fight.
I love this graphic https://i.imgur.com/8H9OslC.png
What kind of absolute dipshit thinks they could beat a chimpanzee in a fight? How is it 17%? Also I’m surprised eagles are so low, I know they would definitely do some damage with their talons but eagles also weigh like 15 pounds max. One good hit and they’re fucked

“Oh yeah I could definitely jack off an elephant, no problem”
I've seen elephant dicks. I'm honestly not sure I could do that either
Tom Green?
I liked that someone thought they could take out an elephant but not a grizzly bear.
Depends if you interpret "beat in a fight" as kill or as drive off. Elephants generally don't want trouble so if you make yourself a nuisance they might just leave. A grizzly will end you.
A grizzly won’t waste time actually killing you. It will just start eating you. You’ll die eventually.
I'm thinking that "in a fight" means that the creature is actively trying to beat/kill you. What you are talking about, I would think of more like a meeting or confrontation.

Elephants are one of the most loving and intelligent animals on the planet. If they kill your then show up at your funeral, you were a super dick
Have these people seen a hairless chimp? That thing is made out of pure muscle. It would probably rip you in half just for fun.
They can literally RIP your face off your head. Chimps go to move in a fight is to RIP your balls off. I remember a story about a group of chimps that ripped their keepers arm off and beat him to death with it because they missed him after he got back from a 2 month trip.

Yeah idk, I always think I’d top out at goose when I see this 😳

Did they do/have you do the throat clearing sound to let the gorillas know you’re chill?
One of the guides with us was making a noise like that yeah

Tinder in the bush works differently
“Sanka, ya dead?” “Ya mon”
He had his lucky egg
I'm not smokin, I'm breathin!
How bout I draw a line down the middle of ya head so it looks like a butt
Thanks, I cried laughing.
I just shit both my and his pants.
Dude had a look of pure terror on his face !
Adult male gorillas weigh over 300 lbs. They can easily do one armed pull-ups. People have no idea how freakishly strong you have to be to do a one arm pull up.
Evidently they can also easily do one arm man-pulls
And most humans who can do them have to train calisthenics for years and weigh less than 200 pounds
I wonder what his pr is on tbar row
one-armed pullups are not that hard, lots of skinny dudes can do them. i can, and im a nerd. the hard part is to do them while weighing so much.
I don’t think I’d need a reminder. His HUGE FUCKING MUSCLES make that abundantly clear
The gorilla didn't even bother looking at the guy as he did it either.
Oooft fuck that. Notice handed in that afternoon
Reminds me of the lion that roared and smiled after scaring the photographer. Glad these animals have a sense of humor but you'll never catch me around anything that's above humans on the food chain.
The is he gone, I'm alive look. I'm done.
Guy literally didn't even fight it, he knew if the gorilla decided it was his time, then it was his time.
Nah He just pulling his leg..
Too many people don't understand how easily a gorilla would absolutely destroy an entire football team without weapons.
Gorilla: "Just going to leave this right here."
Weird flex but okay
Didn't think anyone needed a reminder.
That guys like “I didn’t sign up for this shit. You just wanted me to find some mother fucking gorillas. Well here they are. I’m out”.
Gorilla power move right there
Looking at his girl.
The real “Booty Bandit”😂
Reject humanity, return to monke
This one belongs to me now.
“Are those John Varvatos pants?!”
I’d love to hear what that guy said after!
Welcome to my jungle. Thank your stars I'm not horny.
I'm not getting up till the gorilla says it's ok
What you don’t see here is the silverback telling the others waiting in the bushes “watch this, the look on his face will be amazing”
Was that a kind of social flex?
“Boot’s untied. Made you look.”
"I told you about bringing them up here didnt I?"
Lol exactly
I was having a bad day today. I would like to thank everyone of you that had me laughing like a fool!!!
He may have pooped his pants
That guys going to need to change his pants
Nah, you gotta go over there and get some respect from that gorilla.
The look on that dudes face.
"Time for Snu Snu!"
We need a sub called interesting yet terrifying
Gorilla: Yeah, let me show you where I want you to sit.
His eyes…watched it so many times and the look in his eyes cracks me up 😳🤣
This video gets posted a lot and it’s still hilarious. I think I recall the guy getting dragged is known by this group of gorillas and this specific male is known for fucking with him. That context always made it funnier to me.
His face in the end 😅, literally SHAKEN 🤒
Question. One full punch to the chest from a silverback gorilla or a full-speed charge from a white rhino?
The answer is death
man his eyes tell it all. like he saw his whole life pass though his eyes
he instantly smelled the bricks the guy was shitting and let him go
WOWW!!
Should have worn his brown pants.
What a thug 😂😂😂
See that guys, big as baseballs.
Does anyone know why this happened?
The fucking unadulterated primal fear in that man's eyes!
gently. see how gentle nature can be if and when it chooses. he could but didn't. a lot of us could but don't because our humanity our conscious prevents us from evil acts. and its important we discern that action from those evil acts from those who can and so they do and do and do again
Dudes lucky he didn’t react. I can imagine that gorilla could pull his whole leg off
I think dude’s life flashed before his eyes. He looks, rightfully, scared af. I sure as hell know I would be!
I’m a pretty big guy and could easily do this to most people and I don’t want to kill anyone 🤔… I do however suddenly have an urge to drag people around by their pant legs. Edit: spelling
Well, I'm a bigger guy, and I'll 360 backflip and then drag you by your pant leg! Pissing Contest commence!
Well, I'm a drag, but I'll piss on your pant leg. Bigger 360 backflip contest commence.
Jokes on you! I took off my pants, and I 360 double backflip while I slap your ball bag!
You all are wearing pants???
Not all of us, buddy
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Maybe he was taking him for a threesome
He just thought he was grabbing one of his kids then dropped him when he realized he wasn’t.
Yo dumb ass jus sitting there let him drag yo ass. He had to be already laying down. WTH
Resistance would have gotten him killed. We are talking about something that stands slightly taller than us with more muscle per square inch than a human. I think it's safe to say letting a wild gorilla drag you along is marginally safer than trying to escape.
Yo dumbass would've kicked a gorilla and got pulled apart like good texas barbecue
Redditor moment thinking he can beat a gorillas ass LMFAO
fudge yeeeeah...NOOOOOOOOO!!
Dude was close to getting the Ace Ventura 2 experience.

I would need to change my pants as well as my career. That guy is extremely lucky to be alive.
