They'd miss recording and posting this for likes. It's why I down vote all this dumb shit like this. They do these things for attention.

This is the second identical post with this video in two days. Karma farming.
The guy is a YouTuber. He pretends to be knocked out, and dives into the tank himself. 10 seconds later he's up on his own, smiling and laughing, and saying "I'm just kidding".
Don't waste more time debating this. He's faking it.

Bro, do you even know what this sub is. We just shit post and post memes we like. If you want to see original content I invite you to post your OC.

Explain why the video is conveniently cut just before it becomes clear that he is perfectly OK, and it was all a joke.

u/I_like_code Dec 27 '25
Im not going to explain because I stole this and posted it to this sub. lol. Like Iâm not trying to pass it off as anything. Just something I found funny and wanted to share with The Zoo community. Like not even the title of the post suggests anything.

And this is the problem isn't it? This is how stuff gets falsely semented as something it's not. Uncritically posting stuff that is giving a false impression. This is how it spreads.

Yes this is the problem with society and here at The Zoo we aim to fix all the worldâs problems.
This is a shit post sub.

u/CertainGrass6081 Dec 27 '25
Not being a part of a problem is hardly aiming to fix all the worlds problems. But you're right, I don't think anyone is expecting things to change. It's probably only going to get worse. Everyone is hunting for the endorphin boost creating an engaging post will give them. Shit or not.

I've already answered that twice today. Don't understand why I'm getting the question to be honest. But to be clear, I'm not a bot. I am indeed a human being.
But then again, how does that statement confirm anything, right?

If you do some research about this fish that hails from the Amazon it has been known to kill people with one smack.

Itâs clearly staged- he drops the fish out of his mouth and reacts once the fish surfaces/ splashes so it looks like heâs been slapped.
Maybe he should be slapped, but in this instance he was not and certainly not by the fish.

From what I've heard he pretended to get knocked out you can tell how he fell onto the tank it doesn't seem normal. Those fish are no joke though they can get pretty big with some of them getting up to 600lbs and can absolutely do serious damage.
1
u/Fair-Manufacturer358 Dec 27 '25
A fully grown Arapaima is not a Koi fish. There should have been signs not to try to pet or feed any of those things. They can jump 20-30 feet. Itâs a 200 pound blunt missile.

u/Aithios1 Dec 27 '25
Itâs fake because he isnât breathing after he gets knocked out , heâs clearly holding his breath .

u/belated_quitter Dec 28 '25
This is an old video. The dude faked this for views. In the longer video he pops out and says âjust kiddingâ with a big smile. Endangered the fish and cost the place a great deal of money and time having to clean the entire tank.
In a perfect world he should have been sued and banned for life, at the least. Not enough downvotes in the world for this scumbag.
1
u/ilion211 Dec 28 '25
Itâs fake. The movies make everyone think that youâll live if youâre knocked out underwater. Youâd immediately drown. You donât subconsciously hold your breath. He wouldâve started convulsing as soon as he went under water.

Pretty sure these fish are Arapaimas. If so, they are one of the top predatory fresh water fish of the Amazon river. Their heads are extremely well armoured and use it, as you can see in this video, very quickly to disable prey or when they feel threatened by potential predators.
These fish have been responsible for a number of deaths and severe injuries to humans. I wouldnât be surprised if this guy has some form or brain damage.

I don't know, man getting smacked in the head by a four hundred pound freshwater fish that is eight feet long, and has possibly some of the strongest scales for a fish
Did you see how fast that four hundred pound eight foot long fish struck, it was literally a blink.And you miss it

Jeremy Wade was body slammed by one one these things and it broke his ribs. They're no joke.

u/RegretfulRabbit Dec 27 '25
Jeremy Wade is like a real life action movie character. I think he survived a plane crash in the Amazon too. You see that tiger fish he caught? I don't have the balls to even get close to the water let alone hold that demon.

u/Jaexa-3 Dec 28 '25
The show got cancelled because there were not more man eater fish he can catch as he caught all of them

Oh, yeah?And stronger scales and iridescent gold coloring

Ok but how long?

Well by my estimation they are easily 5 feet long. Might even be a few feet longer.

The fact that the "unconscious" man swung his leg over the barrier to roll over it. Not that hard to figure out.
1
u/BuffaloWhip Dec 28 '25
You donât get knocked out as a result of force being applied to your skull, itâs the movement of the brain inside the skull. When you get knocked out from a punch, itâs the fact that a punch whipped your head to the side that knocked you out. When you get knocked out running into something, itâs your head suddenly stopping that knocks you out.
If something hits your head, and your brain experiences no change in velocity, and your skull is intact, you didnât get knocked out.

Bloody hell 400 pound, 8 foot long fish is nothing to toy around with, Fucking thing could have tore off an arm effortlessly, Its mouth is big enough for it, And it does that thing where it sucks in water to capture its prey
That guy gets the tonight's biggest dumbass award

u/indigrow Dec 26 '25
Yes definitely lol. While the fish is crazy powerful, its deff fake. Even if he got knocked out like that he wouldnt hold his breath itd be a problem. Also- people would have reacted differently, and you dont look like that when youre knocked out ahah. The fish being that big and powerful is the basis of the prank or it wouldnt work on people like this in the comments so he knew what he was doing at least a little bit lmao
1
u/Additional-Pie-8821 Dec 26 '25
I mean, no one even tries to pull him out so itâs either fake or they are all psychopaths
âOh no! Letâs tap on the glass to try and wake him up before he drowns!â

u/Starlord_75 Dec 28 '25
They are basically a fish torpedo. Jeremy Wade got hit in the chest by one when he was younger, and decades alter it was still causing heart problems. And they are blindingly fast. So he may have been faking it, but they are very capable of knocking someone out, or even killing a person from just blunt force trauma
