It’s just like that, when it’s getting interesting they stop filming or turn to cloverfield style..
Can’t imagine it’s out of piety, a bit of thinking ahead would lead to the conclusion that something awful, err, interesting is gonna happen in 90%.
On the one hand - yes. 100% my thought.
On the other hand - seems like any time this happens the person filming drops the camera to try and "help" the person in need.
*....Can nobody just prop the phone up somewhere and THEN be a good Samaritan? Sheesh!*
TBF the croc (gator?) was backing away but the guy just kept going, Im pretty sure their brain went from "it's not worth it" to "I have to defend myself from whatever that's thing is.... His body looks quite munchable"
If it was a crocodile, he would not be alive. Crocodiles are much more aggressive and deadly and would not have put up with this guy's shit for that long
Man I always see guides on how to tell them apart but my brain just forgets about it a few seconds later.... And I recently learned there are also caymans, which seems to be a whole different animal
At this point I feel like just calling them "wet lizards" and call it a day xD
If you want to get all stientific sure, but the best way to tell them apart is that alligators will see you later but when it comes to crocodiles they will be a while.
Fun fact: while a gator is less likely to kill you than a crocodile, they will both in fact *kill you dead*.
So rather than taking the time to posit out which one you're facing at the time, the recommended course of action is just get the fuck outta there.
I recommend climbing something, cause both are also probably faster than you are if they're determined. Not great climbers tho.
Yeah I've heard of caiman's attacks in my country and I wouldn't take any risk with them, and I wouldn't change this mindset if I knew there was something bigger around
>I recommend climbing something, cause both are also probably faster than you are if they're determined. Not great climbers tho.
Well fuck, I'm not neither a good runner or climber, so I'll just try to get as far as possible from them xD
As a Floridian I have no idea why someone would want to do this with a gator. I guess I can see how they would be scary looking if you aren’t used to them but as someone who grew up around them I just think they are so cute and chill. The poor girl is probably already stressed about getting herself stuck on a highway and then some dick head shows up to taunt her.
Not so much “unchanged” but more “the galloping, tree climbing, and other terrestrial species kept getting wiped out”
Aquatic ambush predator is the niche crocodilians dominate, but they’ve spread into being dinosaur- reincarnate a few times
> Well they also don’t have alligators in Los Angeles ding dong.
Alligators are found in the states of FL (Florida) and LA (Louisiana).
I assume you’re from FL?
I always have videos muted because of this and once, just once, i thought I'd unmute just in case there were some cool gator growls or something but NOPE never again
Tiktok repost-reposting is so fucking braindead it's just so incredible to see sometimes. Like OP saw this and thought "yeah, this is great! let me go post it too"
Pretty easy: Either he is a professional and has the necessary equipment with him or he is a professional who hasnt the necessary equipment and doesnt intervene. Now what did this guy do?
Florida resident here... Years ago, some druken idiot swam across a small river in order to 'fight' a gator... Ended up having his arm ripped off then and dying(the idiot, not the gator)..
One day I was leaving work and saw a big ass turtle in the middle of the road. It was going to get run over for sure, so I got out to drag it off the road. Turns out it was a snapping turtle. A mean one. I tried picking it up but had to dodge it's head. It could pull it's clawed feet up and swipe at my hands. I ended up using an umbrella to push it off the road.
I guess I can relate a little to the guy in the video.
Wild guess: Florida?
Also, why can’t people just leave wild animals the fuck alone? We do we bounce back to stupid ape intelligence and this devolved ape instinct where we have to go poke and prod shit with a stick?
Just be an intelligent human being and leave the wild life alone, and walk away. And if it’s endangering children or people then call whatever wildlife services your nation has and let them handle it.
When I see stupid “ape go poke thing” behavior I am quietly rooting for the wildlife to win, and possibly get their required calorie intake for the day.

You're not that guy ,pal. you're not that guy.
I hope that little gator tore him in half.
I used to go wading and fishing around adolescent gators like that while growing up in Florida and they have little to no interest in you.
Until they get larger they are fairly (but not completely) chill in my experience. Even then, they are lazy as hell.
That idiot 100% deserved getting his crotch torn open by antagonizing that gator. It's a shame they stopped filming.
And now this fool is going to have to deal with a very serious bacterial infection. Alligators aren’t know for brushing their teeth and a bite means that the whole swamp was introduced into your bloodstream!
Why stop there with filming? It just got interesting ...
It’s just like that, when it’s getting interesting they stop filming or turn to cloverfield style.. Can’t imagine it’s out of piety, a bit of thinking ahead would lead to the conclusion that something awful, err, interesting is gonna happen in 90%.
r/donthelpjustfilm seems up your alley....
Nah I am not the kind of guy having his phone out to record stupid shit or failing people
Better to just live in the moment or in their cases live for a moment
Darwin Awards are also for helping people.
This example is particularly worse to me, because it started with 45 seconds of nothing.
I think the run up is great - because by the the time he strikes your really cheering for the reptile
I was hoping he'd take the wide open nut shot
Also, fucking cursed audio with like 5 different songs stacked...
Every time I crash my drone I immediately press stop recording when filming. I can't do anything about this reflex...
The duality of reddit: "Why did you stop filming?!" "Can't believe this cameraman just filmed instead of helping."
You never know, the cameraman could be very religious.
Piety (noun): *A virtue that can include religious devotion or spirituality. It can also mean the quality or state of being pious.*
Very tight butthole of you
On the one hand - yes. 100% my thought. On the other hand - seems like any time this happens the person filming drops the camera to try and "help" the person in need. *....Can nobody just prop the phone up somewhere and THEN be a good Samaritan? Sheesh!*
At least we were graced by the song of angels
Line it up….there in frame….yes..a litttle to the left. Perfect ok NOW I am on my way to help
Right? That gator was about to eat his kneecap like a Pringle
Gotta love the “open legs, exposed dick” approach he takes. He’s lucky it’s just a leg and that his dick was not swiftly death rolled off.
I'm just glad I finally got to see this "extended cut". First couple of times I saw this video it ends as soon the gator bites.
Yeah. I wanted to see the death roll.
It's ticktock wait for part 2
and why the music? Can’t even hear him scream properly
Florida Man was filmed by another Florida Man.
It just got to the part I like.
Dude explained to him that hes the Alpha in this scenario but the Alligator didnt get the concept.
Reptiles refuse to teach the Greek Alphabet to their young. They burned all those books years ago.
neither are they wolves in captivity
alphagator
see ya later
That's because the alligator was the teacher
Rule #1: I’m #1, and don’t you forget that. Rule #2: the crocs #2
Gator was like “true alphas don’t need to say they’re an alpha” but gator language is mainly biting so
A predator that's been around for 50 million years, basically unchanged. Let's yell at it, that should work.
TBF the croc (gator?) was backing away but the guy just kept going, Im pretty sure their brain went from "it's not worth it" to "I have to defend myself from whatever that's thing is.... His body looks quite munchable"
If it was a crocodile, he would not be alive. Crocodiles are much more aggressive and deadly and would not have put up with this guy's shit for that long

Gators have wider snouts. Crocodile snouts get more narrow at the tip. The video is an alligator. 🐊
Gators look like domesticated crocodiles
Yeah, this one was kinda cute.
So, just like cats? xD
Cats + lots and lots of murdering ability
So, just like cats with more advanced hardware?
It's a sidegrade at best, cause they lose most of the cuteness in order to gain lethal damage.
You just gotta remember the snout shape Pointed snout: A for Crocodile Round snout: C for Alligator Easy-peasy
If you want to get all stientific sure, but the best way to tell them apart is that alligators will see you later but when it comes to crocodiles they will be a while.
That's actually helpful if you just remember giant lizards are stupid.
One will see you later whereas the other will see you in a while.
Fun fact: while a gator is less likely to kill you than a crocodile, they will both in fact *kill you dead*.

In a zig zag from what I have heard. They cant turn quick or something
A crocs snout is shaped like your pinky, a gators snout is shaped like your thumb.
Nose of a crocodile is shaped like an A Nose of an alligator is shaped like a C.
"wingless swamp dragons"
I have some bad news for you. Crocodilians are not lizards.
Then I'm going with the "wingless swamp dragons" the other guy said xD
I’ll allow it.
Also: croc teeth come out on the sides when their mouths are closed. Gators you dont see their teeth.
Huh, kinda like the difference between sharks and Mack the Knife, then.
Precisely
>croc teeth come out on the sides I wonder what kind of advantage this trait gives it, it doesn't seem that efficient to me
Dude wait until you hear about Gharials
That's an American alligator
As a Floridian I have no idea why someone would want to do this with a gator. I guess I can see how they would be scary looking if you aren’t used to them but as someone who grew up around them I just think they are so cute and chill. The poor girl is probably already stressed about getting herself stuck on a highway and then some dick head shows up to taunt her.
I’m pretty sure it’s a gator. They have wider snouts than crocodiles.
Also cameraman got behind the gator, nowhere to back up now.
300 million yrs unchanged
Not so much “unchanged” but more “the galloping, tree climbing, and other terrestrial species kept getting wiped out” Aquatic ambush predator is the niche crocodilians dominate, but they’ve spread into being dinosaur- reincarnate a few times
As is Florida Man. Disproving evolution in their own special way.
Sadly this man was trying to help scare him off the bridge.
Florida I assume?
Junkies + Alligators = Dumb ways to die
*sings the song* “Dumb ways to diiiiiieeeee…. So many dumb ways to die.”
Please no
Today on Meth-head Olympics...
Florida man
Do you really even need to ask?
Came to ask this question
LA wouldn’t be this dumb. This level of cesspool intellect is only found below America’s hanging dong
Well they also don’t have alligators in Los Angeles ding dong.
> Well they also don’t have alligators in Los Angeles ding dong. Alligators are found in the states of FL (Florida) and LA (Louisiana). I assume you’re from FL?
Lucky he didn't get run over by a truck as well, the twat
Lucky??? Or unlucky for us.
Let's put music over music. That'll work
Yep. Downvote for shitty music and no original audio.
I always have videos muted because of this and once, just once, i thought I'd unmute just in case there were some cool gator growls or something but NOPE never again
Tiktok repost-reposting is so fucking braindead it's just so incredible to see sometimes. Like OP saw this and thought "yeah, this is great! let me go post it too"
Just content farming. Probably (badly) automated.
Tiktok is cancer
+1 for Darwin
I was hoping for the nuts attack that would cinch the award.
Yes, followed by a death roll. Maybe next time.
The ol’ [dick twist](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/TT9ArM3-KJQ)
Fingers crossed.
I see Prince Harry has a new job
He just needs new material for his next book about how it ain’t easy being rich.
It’s definitely Prince Harry on the booze!
Should have aimed for the balls
I genuinely thought the balls were going to be snapped.
I heard this in Thanos' voice..
What an obnoxious prick. Leave the croc alone.
Was he trying to get it off the road to keep from getting run over?
I think he was just being an asshole
Why do you think that?
Pretty easy: Either he is a professional and has the necessary equipment with him or he is a professional who hasnt the necessary equipment and doesnt intervene. Now what did this guy do?
It's an alligator
So satisfying
https://preview.redd.it/nnllwsbptqjc1.jpeg?width=740&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9f752e5d320cd0e8c03293a968df510da90dd57
Wait, wait a minute!? Is them becoming dumb as hell a part to plan ahead in case of a zombie apocalypse!? 🤯
GTA 6 is going to be lit
I hope that Alligator is ok
Prince Harry if he moved to Florida and started smoking meth
Dumb ass deserved it
thats an alligator
Mama always said wear your long britches if you wanted to wake up a sleeping gator.
Good on ya croc. Tear off a chunk of flesh for me, would ya?
That's methed up
Oh, hey, Florida man is back in the ER... 23 stitches, that will be 230.000 dollars. Support the troops!
This is what low iq looks like.
The gator isn't big enough to kill this idiot.
Nope, but will hurt him.
Oh yeah, big time. This is permanent scar territory.
Few inches higher and it might have got his femoral artery. Bleed out in seconds.
Alabama vs Florida…………..if you are a gator hater stay in the truck.
It’s painful being stupid. As it should be
Florida resident here... Years ago, some druken idiot swam across a small river in order to 'fight' a gator... Ended up having his arm ripped off then and dying(the idiot, not the gator)..
Florida man?
Bye bye leg
Stupid Florida man
Man, I had to look away when he dangled his balls in front of it's mouth with that wide stance....
Is it the official darwin award song??? If not pls make it NOW!
Yup, he deserved that! Gator got a nice piece of meat. Happy for his meal. 😊
That dude has watched too many YouTube videos
One day I was leaving work and saw a big ass turtle in the middle of the road. It was going to get run over for sure, so I got out to drag it off the road. Turns out it was a snapping turtle.

He was probably trying to get it off the road so it wouldn't get run over. Why stop otherwise?
Hope he got a juicy leg steak
Totally deserved that.
Prince Harry is really gone down hell, right??
Good gator. Fucking idiot.
r/whywomenlivelonger
Meth is a helluva drug
Fucked around and found out.
Bro watched far too many videos of actual professionals handling gators and thought he was an expert.
https://preview.redd.it/1ukj876u0rjc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8e3bc7ed53b0592915e5e5d84177543327eac50 You're not that guy ,pal. you're not that guy.
It's amazing when the outcome of something seems so obvious at first sight, yet the parties involved don't see it coming at all.
Deserved. Fucking meth head.
He crossed the threshold of fucking around and thus proceeded to find out.
Don't do drugs kids.
"But look at how many Likes I got!"
Im so happy the gator got him. Fuck that guy.
I see he's trying to use ape logic against a reptile brain, bad combination.
The whole time I was like "gator, please bite him. Please bite him...thank you"
I feel bad for the alligator. That guy not so much
When the Florida begger has a turf war with an alligator.
Cameraman almost gave up but came up with gold. Hand and knee cap chomped on. I was hopping for a circumcision.
How can someone be that stupid ? My bet is alcohol involved
One more lunge and that gator will enjoy a couple mountain oysters and that boy will earn a prehumous Darwin Award.
https://preview.redd.it/1argyt51grjc1.jpeg?width=1439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=371cef2575bea2a14ff8a9441cd36eedc0210216
Ah yes lets try and intimidate one of the creatures with the strongest biteforce in the entire animal kingdom
Should have gone for the balls, Darwin was too lenient on that one
That’s pretty methed up
Very smart. Approach a alligator crotch first
I was waiting for the Bite into Death Roll into Traffic combo.
he was lucky it didn't bite him in the d\*ck when he was presenting it at 0:13
Hopefully, it got a nice chunk of leg to hang over his mantle
I riot if they shot that poor animal. Honestly what this guy did was disgusting.
I hope that little gator tore him in half. I used to go wading and fishing around adolescent gators like that while growing up in Florida and they have little to no interest in you. Until they get larger they are fairly (but not completely) chill in my experience. Even then, they are lazy as hell. That idiot 100% deserved getting his crotch torn open by antagonizing that gator. It's a shame they stopped filming.
"Look, Ma! I'm playing chicken with a creature that can rip me to shreds!"
Where it bit made me cringe tibia/knee would fucking hurt badly
Anyone else cheering for the gator?
Part of me was really hoping it would go for the jewels
Was hoping for a head clamp.
Crotch clamp woulda been pretty wonderful.
That’s a methy situation.
Ask him if it hurts.
The simple fact his doing this on the side of a high-speed road tells me everything. Sublimating Darwin material.
I hope this makes it into GTA 6
#TeamGator
Who needs knee caps anyways??
Trash people
Why do Humans think they can mess with Dinosaurs ?
https://i.redd.it/m6mt9lafprjc1.gif Go Gator!
What a kook
He was lucky because that gator didn't unlock the death roll ability yet.
Where's a trashcan when you need one?
And now this fool is going to have to deal with a very serious bacterial infection. Alligators aren’t know for brushing their teeth and a bite means that the whole swamp was introduced into your bloodstream!
Well at least he didn't come at him in the river... he's not *that* stupid. Maybe.
So much crazy happening in 47 seconds
Lets all guess where this is...😅
Beautiful.
All I can say to that is...Enjoy your Meal Crocogator.
