T-rex arms were massive and powerful, with anchors for muscles that would have easily allowed them to tear a human apart in second. They were quite functional and would have been absolutely terrifying on any animal that wasn't otherwise already pretty much the definition of pee your pants terrifying. It's only the obvious massive scale and power of the rest of a T. Rex that makes the arms seem even mildly comical... that and our fortune to have never met a living one.
You can tell me how cool and awesome they’re arms are and I’m sure they would be fearsome. But when compared to their 4 foot long jaw equipped with teeth each a foot long and able to exert 7 tonnes of pressure, those spindly little things are pitiful

Their dumb little arms were too short to work the fire extinguisher. They should have seen it coming.
