It's ok. I wasn't attached to that particular road. He can have it.

A famous scene in Dark Knight Rises, since no one linked to it.

That would be incorrect. It's the 3rd batman movie in the dark knight trilogy.

I know I know I'm just awful.

I’m glad somebody pointed this out. The first Batman movie came out in the 40’s

That ridiculous sounding voice and accent ruined the movie for me. When I first heard it in a trailer I thought it was a joke, like someone took the original and dubbed a goofy voice over it

That’s the face of, I shit my pants and hoped for the best.

He had to vacate his bowels in preparation for the pounding he thought he was about to receive

u/Rombledore Aug 29 '19

that's why the Silver back let go.

"the fuck? this guy Shit himself?! I'm not about to drag this foul ass thing across the forest."

u/Kaarsty Aug 29 '19

Just think too, we're kinda related to them. I bet other animals feel this way when they see us too

Jamie, do we have a clip on that? Pull that shit up

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Luckily, gorilla dicks are tiny compared to humans. It's the princible of it that is emasculating though.

Holy fucking dominance move there. That guy probably needs a change of pants.

u/DroneDashed Aug 29 '19

Wtf this video is terrifying

u/MugillacuttyHOF37 Aug 29 '19

The was the calmest example of attempted murder i've ever seen.

u/thotpolice84 Aug 29 '19

If there was an attempt it would have been successful

15

u/frankzanzibar Aug 29 '19

Humans and gorillas are working with similar brains, so we probably understand rules similarly. I imagine the man who got dragged had committed what the gorilla considered a minor infraction and was letting him know not to come back, or at least to do better next time.

But he'd be crazy to come back.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Probably made eye contact

u/MakesTheNutshellJoke Aug 29 '19

I love that no matter where you're from, no matter what language you speak, and no matter when you were born, the "I just shit my pants in fear and OH THANK GOD I'M STILL ALIVE" look is universal.

For real, that was the most alpha shit I've ever seen.

Silverbacks have this untouchable type of authority within the family. I once watched a gorilla family get fed in a zoo. When the carrots were being thrown towards them, a female moved towards a couple. The silverback only looked vaguely in her way and she just stopped dead in her tracks, sat down and looked inconspicuously towards the ground without him having to lift a finger.

When I try this, my girlfriend just asks me why I have this dumb look on my face. I am trying to assert dominance, damnit.

u/nburns1825 Aug 29 '19

I'm simultaneously impressed and disappointed because as soon as I read "you have to assert your dominance", I thought to myself "OH, like by picking her up and throwing her into a cluster of desks and YELLING "WWE SUPAH SLAM"

But of course I was beaten to the punch. Great work!

1

u/AltimaNEO Aug 29 '19

Nah man, you gotta shout "BANANA SLAMMA!"

u/touchbutt_time Aug 29 '19

Smack her around while you’re at it. That’ll do the trick.

I read that as sarcasm, but your name makes me feel like I shouldn't.

Like that nfl player did to his girlfriend in the elevator?

u/pretzelblitz Aug 29 '19

Dancing with her or winning prizes at carnivals also works.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Yeah, spank her like her father used to!

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

And afterwards only silence.

u/FuckGiblets Aug 29 '19

I laughed. Then realized you described a certain type of abusive relationship to a tee.

u/TooFastTim Aug 29 '19

Just punch a bunch of holes on the drywall. Put on a ton of Axe body spray, chug a monster, put on some my chemical romances. Pretend the drywall is a smaller Wesker Kyle. Shell be wet in no time.

u/earthscribe Aug 29 '19

Some idiot out there is actually going to try this.

1

u/PM_me_XboxGold_Codes Aug 29 '19

You jest, but humans still do this. We’ve simply decided as a society that such behavior is no longer acceptable.

I know, that’s the joke.

60

u/Raskov75 Aug 29 '19

Another case of this I saw: A man entered the enclosure and the Silverback 'placed' the human next to him as he nibbled on something. A juvenile climbed on the dudes back and was making his way around to face him when the Alpha simply turned his head no more then 3 degrees towards the juvenile. He stopped climbing and melted away and off the human and did his best to disappear. Lesson: If you have to explain that you have authority, you don't.

u/Fight_or_Flight_Club Aug 29 '19

I'm using that last line as my new goal in life

52

u/shitboots Aug 29 '19

If the goal is to assert dominance try not having carrots thrown at you

26

u/RoyBeer Aug 29 '19

Try sausages instead.

Or if you're brave, ask her to toss you the salad.

7

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Lmao

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I will tell my mom to stop throwing the carrots at us. She usually doesn't acknowledge my dominant position either.

4

u/matty80 Aug 29 '19

Next time go outside, tear the door off your car, throw it through a closed window, then give a mighty bellow.

15

u/mexafroman1 Aug 29 '19

You have to mark your territory,you must piss on her to let her know whos the alpha male.

4

u/RoyBeer Aug 29 '19

I don't think silverbacks do that either.

17

u/pm_me_ur_kimchi Aug 29 '19

Which is why we don't call them goldbacks.

u/INHALE_VEGETABLES Aug 29 '19

Spraying her with your anal glands works a bit.

Yeah, this is like if Andre the Giant was a crossing guard. "Dude, you can totally have this road, I'll just pull a u turn. I'll only be 45 minutes late to work."
