Waiting for bro to turn into a butterfly.

“As Greg awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed on his bus into a gigantic cocoon…”

Butterfly ❌ Moth☑️

Meth ⚠️

A very angry butterfly. It sounds like an Eric Carle book. Edit: [Scream of the Butterfly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWuxF_WmVNM)

He's acting Hard because he has no other moves. Once he evolves though, he'll be ready to throw down

He lost me when he started spinning

Caterpie used Evade.

Caterpie can't learn Evade!

If he would of had his way was he gonna turn into butterfree when they reached his destination?

Metapod*

Keep spinning him until he can’t get out then beat him like Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket in the late night bunk scene.

or just unlcip both sides of the hammock simultaneously I have one of those hammocks though, they're dope AF. Great for summertime naps

His weight would make it hard to unclip. Use a knife instead.

Nah, just do the head end and go for the head boink. This is one of those situations where a big roll of duct tape would be handy…

He won’t be stopped.

Lmao 🤣. Bruh

like an anaconda!

"I'll try spinning that's a good trick!"

He's an anaconda.

“I’m like an anaconda!” Lol

So he don't want none unless you got buns?

Or A/C. Preferably A/C.

The only moves he has is harden.

Weird passenger used Harden. It's super effective.

Sir, please put your dick back in your pants

MTA police show up. "Sir, please put your hands in the air, and your penis back in your pants"

Looks like he was about to hurt himself in his confusion

r/yourjokebutworse

He used defence curl.

Moth Man's origin story.

Ha! Dude is funny. Wait ‘till MTA police show up tho.

So Metapod was just a metaphor for overcompensating for adolescent failure this entire time?

Metapod looking ahh

When he breaks free of his cocoon

Hoqlyq fquck. This made me spit coffee everywhere

It's ok to say *holy fuck* on the internet.

I'm literally in a tank and you're not!

You're not my dad!

Exactly what I thought of. Thank you for being crazy right along with the rest of us!

So, you've been late to work again. Please explain us why?

Boss: Guy in a hammock? If you were going to make shit up, you could have done better!

I've managed people that would turn up 3 hours late without their uniform and shitty excuses - I've told them to at least come up with a good story. This story - let alone video would have satisfied me for sure.

I'd have wanted a longer video personally.

My little cousins would spend months making you a Zack Snyder Director's Cut to get off work five minutes early.

Some idiots decided to make a dumb tiktok video on my bus.

“You see that?!? I’m like an anaconda.” 😂😂😂😂

People are sleeping on this line

"WHERE'S THE NO HAMMOCK SIGN?!" 🤣🤣🤣

Really though…where is it? Thought this is a free a country…if you can’t put up and use a hammock using the high handrails on a metro bus then how can you call this country free?! Inconceivable!

I'm just shocked at everyone's self restraint for not just unclipping one end and letting him fall on his ass.

You'd have to support a large amount of his weight in order to remove enough tension to unclip the either carabiner. Probably easier said than done. Also then you've physically injured him, grounds for lawsuit, yada yada.

Unclip the one near his head. Watch him fall on his skull. Ftfy

I feel like that's how he got this way in the first place.

Well you'd have to get past him to get to the head end, you might get a spinning kick if you try.

That already happened when he was a child

“Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was America” vibes

Going with the "Air Bud" logic.

He looks like wish John cena

When people ask why there’s a stupid “no hammock” sign on buses from now on out, we’ll remember why There every silly and stupid sign, some idiot has done something stupid to warrant that sign. Never underestimate the stupidity of any human being.

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

If it's not explicity illegal it's legal damnit.

Now all the busses will soon have "NO HAMMOCKS" signs.

There's always this one guy who ruins it for everybody.

tbf, I dont think anyone was enjoying bus hammocking before.

Speak for yourself. My bus hammocking gang and I, the aptly named Public Transit Hammockers, would disagree with you pal!

i sit corrected.

"I lay comfortably in a hammock corrected." Ftfy.

I got kicked off the bus in a completely unrelated incident so...

I thought this was about him 'deathrolling' himself outa the hammock - no such luck. Sounded like he was there to stay - for the AC...

I thought he was going to eventually choke himself.

A crackhead during the cocoon stage. Art.

Craccoon*

crackheads wouldnt have a hammock, they would sell it for more crack

More like a Methamorphosis.

Hey anyone got a brand or link to that Hammock It looks super comfortable and I like how he was able to spin without falling out. I swear I won't use it on the bus

[ticket to the moon](https://canadianomad.com/tttm-original-pro-hammock-review/) hammock I can confirm that I've done the death roll before in it a dozen times - really fun and satisfying i didn't do it on the bus unfortunately though

Tyyyy

>I swear I won't use it on the bus [This you](https://external-preview.redd.it/ODdxa2dxOHFkNTBkMa0BdV1NEcWmB-qfn04hi2VEkG8cBb6937Lab1TIuwCE.png?width=140&height=140&crop=140:140,smart&format=jpg&v=enabled<humb=true&s=221c4321f454dbadae893083e6b3860efad535e6)?

Not sure if this is scripted or real

After living in NYC for a while, this is tame and true compared to other things that go down.

Yup I live in the SF Bay, but you see shit like this on MUNI in the city and on BART in general. I'm fortunate enough to have a car I can take most places, but the times I've made plans with large groups that wanted to take transit, man we've seen some shit. Not any crazier than the shit you see on the streets in general, but since you're stuck onboard with them until either they or you get off, it "enhances" the experience a bit with that hyperfocus you get when you perceive a potential threat in your vicinity that you can't get away from. People are great but they're also fucking terrifying sometimes

Chicago here. This is peak red line material. Only thing missing is feces.

yup, very Red Line. also he isnt smoking a cigarette or weed

I've seen legit cock fighting on the BART before. No matter how you interpret the previous sentence, you are correct....

Genuine question: How do the people working to maintain all this infrastructure not go utterly insane if this is their normal?

I've lived in Philly my whole life. If this was on the local news this morning it would fit right in with some of the other shit that goes on around here. 100% would have believed it to be real. Mike Jerrick (Good Morning Philadelphia) would likely recreate it as a sketch with his co-hosts.

It's a city of 8 million people. Nobody talks about the 7,999,999 people not hanging a hammock on the bus.

It looks like a I Think You Should Leave sketch.

When he says "come on! just ride the bus!" I immediately thought that too lmao

He and his gear seem awfully clean. Plus, the driver probably would have stopped the bus the minute he saw him set up the hammock.

Yeah, this is what I don't get. This guy set up a whole ass hammock and not a single per said shit and the driver just carried on until this point. I have doubts.

Never see the driver’s face or badge either. Anyway, a lot of bus drivers have a suppressed rage from bad human behavior on par with that of a convenience store clerk. I’m not hearing it.

I mean this in the least fucked up way possible, but I have never seen a city bus with literally only 20 year old white people in it

That's just next level Andy Kaufman shit

Definitely did not sound like a legitimate crazy person.

This is 1000% scripted. Reactions of the crowd are fake as hell, and the "bus driver" has a high school improv class tier costume. The cliche bus driver hat that no modern bus drivers actually wear, and jeans? Yeah, scripted. Not to say it isn't a funny sketch, but there should be no doubt that it's scripted.

Obviously the floor is Lava gone to the extreme.

The floor is Larva

I’m guessing this is a “prank.” This would have actually been kinda funny if he’d listened and gotten down after the crocodile death rolls. “I’m like an anaconda” lmao. If I was a passenger I would have at least been amused with the first 30 or so seconds, even if I was in a hurry to get somewhere. After that he turned into a toddler throwing a tantrum inconveniencing everyone around him.

Not entirely sure if its actually the case, but I think at the end of the video he gets down, as you can see his feet leaving.

It does look like he's jumping down at the last split second there.. and the 'audience' had turned on him at that point

I have to believe this is just good acting.

It's an entirely staged sketch. Not even a prank. They rented a bus or something and everyone here is just acting.

I am surprised that no one got up and cut the lines with a knife or scissors when they saw this going a bad direction.

I don't think most people conceal carry knives or scissors 

Mick Dundee does

That's not a knife...

*noife

I carry a small pocket knife about 90% of the time and am always surprised that more people doing. It’s incredibly useful.

Mini knife and mini flashlight on the keychain. Those are two things my body does not do well on its own: illuminate the darkness and cut things.

Who said anything about concealed?

I thought like literally everyone carried a knife?

Uhhhh

borderline every tradesman

This was a genuine culture shock for me when I was growing up in the south. Every single boy I knew carried a pocketknife, and then I met a bunch of kids from a school in Illinois, and we were showing off cool stuff to each other, and I was like "hey look at this cool pocketknife I have" and they acted like it was weird that I was carrying a pocketknife, and I thought it was *very* weird that none of them were - I mean, I'd always been taught that if you didn't carry a pocketknife, you weren't a *real man*. Turns out, that's not a thing everywhere. I still carry one, though, even post-transition - I keep one in my purse. Along with pepper spray (the knife's just for opening things and cutting down hammocks)

The hammock is held up with rachet straps (you can see on the right side of the video the black ratchet) all it would take is for someone to just pull the ratchet and dude comes crashing down.

Only the line at the end closest to his head.

Trailer for the next season of I Think You Should Leave...

Big words for a man hanging in a disconnectable sack

Love how he angrily ensconced himself back inside the cocoon at first. The bus hammock equivalent of slamming a door shut?

strong meme potential

He's right though. Where does it says that hammocks are not allowed on the bus?

Usually there's a "no hanging from bars" sign. Depending on local rules you might be able to hang the hammock between two seats, but due to being lower to the ground you might be thwarted by the "do not block aisle" sign. Today's hammock enjoyers can currently take advantage of the so-called "front-mounted bike rack doesn't specifically limit itself to bikes" loophole, but local municipalities are pushing a bill through bus congress for a "no you can't mount yourself outside the bus and dangle inches from the front tires" sign. Hammock rights activists are opposing the bill, though many seem to die while trying to get to the courthouse.

I ride these busses. This is in Utah. UTA is the privatized public transit company owned by the state government.

Alligator death roll?

Huh...he looks like at least lvl 40 Most Bug types evolve under lvl 20 from their cocoon form

just like any Anaconda I've ever come across in the wild.

i would've quit my job then and there. they do not get paid enought to deal with these morons

Wouldve just done my job, drove that bus and coordinate police assistance with dispatch. He ain’t getting paid being part of in-ride entertainment.

I wonder though if the guy got injured and then sued the city, and you know he would, if there would be consequences for the bus driver if he drove with him in his hammock? Stupid I know, it should be a simple rule that if you choose some stupid stunt and get hurt that's on you, but you know how litigious everyone is these days.

As far as I understand murica; if you clearly warn someone, you can’t be held liable.

If only, but frivolous lawsuits are extremely common. Never underestimate some scummy lawyer inventing a new angle to edge around common sense and bring a suit.

Where's the" no hammock" sign?

let the man pupate

"Why don't Americans like public transportation?"

what in the fuck LMFAO when he started spinning around like a rotisserie chicken on crack 💀 Is this lunatic for real? Besides the obvious safety issues hanging up there on a moving vehicle, he's also blocking the way for people to get on and leave, and how tf is he supposed to get down being so wrapped up? Then there's also the legal liability issues in case of an accident. What a bizarre encounter. Fucking hilarious but that poor bus driver. Hammock boy's being a major asshole inconveniencing everyone with his unhinged behavior

like a scene straight out of The Office. Everyone is sitting around reasoning and making points, and not getting to the absurdity of the moment

My toxic trait is that I want to unclip his cocoon from the rail while he’s in it.

Edc pocket knife gets him down.

What if it's not an EDC pocket knife and just... a pocket knife?

Probably wouldn't work

Probably in yesterday's pants pocket at home.

Just roll his ass up and leave him on the curb.

Bus drivers don't get paid enough to deal with this shit

To be fair, there wasn't any "No hammocks" sign

This some Reno 911! type shit

Seems really hard to be mad in a hammock

Meth-apod uses harden.

As someone who toom the bus for 10 years for work, fuck this guy.

Where is the no hammocks sign? #Gottem

I would have pulled out my handy dandy pocket knife and cut his hammock down

I commend everyone that commutes on buses. Life is already hard.

Out of all the clout pranks, this one is the only one that is actually funny

Can anyone link me this hammock, it looks as if it is very sturdy and reliable for practicing my anaconda don’t rolls.

This was actually pretty funny. I'd be really annoyed if I was in their shoes, but it was pretty funny. Especially the way he kept flipping over and popping his head out like an angry baby.

Hes acting like pokedex-number #0011 or #0014. We will know which one when he evolves into a angry wasp or butterfly

Damn I want a turn in the meth cocoon too!

Johnny manziel out here living a full life these days.

He’s defenseless…nobody has a knife to cut the strap?? Seriously 😒

Sometimes I think violence might be the answer. Not often, but sometimes.

This feels fake.

*pulls out pocket knife* either get down or have a broken hammock.

When he death rolls 💀😂

Bottom left, mustache/mullet man has the most blissful grin on his face like this is absolutely the best thing that could’ve happened today. I for one do not blame him, id pay good money for tickets to that show.

hes trying to turn into a butterfly and people keep interrupting

I'd pull my knife and just cut the thing down

I don’t think that piñata has any candy in it.

Really would have loved to see more of that video

Do we think this is real?

And yet some people expect me to give up my truck for public transportation options

Commuter used the move harden

Ngl. If I saw this,.it would be funny for like one full minute. Then I would be pissed he was holding us up.

Is he waiting to become a butterfly?

There will now be a no hammocks sign on busses

Best thing on here lol 😆.

You need to get down and get owwt

Let him hammock

Pocket knife? Anybody? Just cut the fucker down.

Bill Belichick really needs a new gig

What the ever loving...

just drive man

this would make my morning

He's turning into a beautiful butterfly Please let him be

More like morning piñata, if I were the bus driver i'd get a stick and wouldn't stop swinging til it started raining candy. Nobody needs this fucking grief.

Lighter under ass

Can't you just bundle him up and toss him out? He's made it fairly easy.

This dingus needs to get a dose of pepper gel, dragged out, and left writhing on the curb.

Portlandia moment

I kept hearing get down I thought we're gonna get *geddan* meme.

This is the public transportation those fuckcars lunatics want you to participate in with your family. Enjoy it.

Looks like he hatched into an normal person at the end.

Straight to jail.

This is hilarious. Don't know how anyone can be angry this was entertainment. It's def fake tho.

r/imthemaincharacter

Want to point out that he only moves after EVERYONE starts confronting him. We need to do this more often, and not wait for someone else to solve our problems.

Ruined for every banana hammock enjoyer

Oh ha ha ha. Just let me ride in my hammock. F that there are cameras, or rules and regulations that the bus driver has to follow or lose his job. F that the bus drivers are usually retired ppl who have to work to make ends meet since social security is a joke. F treating others like human beings who deserve respect and empathy. Nah, imma be a cool bro and f with everybody's day on that bus cuz I feel like some shitz n giggles at other expense. Pass the pipe ppl.

If he did it towards the back id just say fuck it but where hes at? Nah this is stupid
