Here's my question/discussion for today. How would you handle being on a practical joke show?

My wife and I enjoy watching those practical jokes shows. Scare Tactics in particular. My wife always comments that she could not imagine me on one of those shows without absolutely throttling someone. Smile

If you were put into a scary situation where an alien or an animal/vampire was coming at you and you were a little spooked would your fists begin to fly? I would think if someone was trying to get me I'd just go down in a blaze of glory. Big foot? If I'm backed into a corner I think I would charge and punch to the nose and poke in the eye until he broke me in half.

Would you be skeered and freak out?

or would you do this.....

I think it would depend on the situation. In the video you posted I doubt I would have reacted quite like that. I probably would have assumed a defensive posture and made some distance but wouldn't have immediately swung. However if pushed into a corner I probably would attack.

11th dan in Parnes Jiu-Jitsu, it's one more than Ransom's. Real PJJ goes to 11!

Really?! You would punch bigfoot in the nose?! I'm pretty sure I'd curl up and play dead.

I wouldn't even punch this in the nose.

Haha there was an episode of Scare Tactics where the actor pulled out a knife and the victim proceed to pound the crap out of the actor's head. I found the vid online a while ago, I could probably find it again if anybody wants it lol.

Yea I was about to mention the one where the guy started punching the shit out of the dude in the front seat.. It was just a very poorly planed prank, and i think scare tactics learned a lot from that mistake.. If you put someone in an area as small as a car and the guy busts out a knife and stabs a dude id say a big percentage of guys would start swinging, especially when the dude with the knife is in the front seat with his back kinda turned.

I'd say if it was a regular person that was attacking someone else i would probably go into offensive mode, but if it was anything supernatural i would bolt the hell out of there (and maybe help the other people if i could lol).

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."

Yes, I would punch bigfoot in the nose. Just knowing what little I know about animal behavior most of them try to run. So if I'm backed into a corner I'd say swing for the fences in hopes that he turns and runs.

Every time they bring that midget out on scare tactics and they are doing the devil type pranks I think I would try to punt that guy as far as I could. Big smile
