Absolutely ridiculous. He's very lucky no one hurt him.

I did lol when the guy hit him with the ball, brought back all the memories of my middle school days getting hit while playing dodgeball  :lol: haha

Haha, I was gonna say that this reinforces the horrible misconception that zombies only attack black people, but I finally did see one lonely white dude on one of those basketball courts.

Reflecting on the whole thing, I have to wonder if the hoax is a hoax.

I know people do stupid things but who would be so insane to put themselves in that situation. I can see frightening a few individuals but a white guy charging into a crowd of 15-20 big black guys playing BB is just nuts. It was just a matter of time before they stop running and come after you.

It appeared at the end they caught the guy. He would have been severely injured if not killed before his friends doing the filming could come to his assistance, even if 2-3 friends could have helped.

Common sense says, everyone in the film was part of the act.

Whatever it was, it was pure genius. I laughed so hard at the people that were like, "What?" and as soon as he got close, they started sprinting.

The guy's legit, I've seen some of his stuff before. He essentially just relies on the fact that when they catch him, they'll have a sense of humor when they realize it's a joke. This guy explained how the guys were cool about it after they caught him when they interviewed him on Tosh.0

I with you, Ginger. He's lucky no one had a gun or the cops didn't show up. With all the recent events, they have to be on high alert.

In case someone needs a visual. I think the orangutan is smarter than the guy in the video.

I don't understand why people are picking apart this video. It was just a guy taking advantage of a situation, and getting a few laughs out of it. Anyone that thinks those "attacks" in Miami are really zombies are uneducated. Very uneducated. I mean, the guy played a horrible zombie.

Was the guy doing something reckless? Yeah, of course he was. But isn't that what happens in most viral videos? Someone does something reckless or dangerous, and it's caught on film. He could have gotten into trouble, but he didn't, and we got this funny video in the process.

Some people take stuff so seriously these days.

Trippy,no disrespect but look at the situation,the guy is running round trying to look like a bloodstained nutter/zombie/ in Miami ,where only recently there have been reports of someone EATING another persons face ,so that is fresh in peoples minds ,is it out of the realms of possibility that this stunt could have gone tits up for this guy? ,think of the worst case scenario ,sometimes being an adult that is what you do actually I do it all the time .

I personally dont find this video funny at all ,to me this guy had the idea to do the video from an unfortunate event in that city,would you find a video funny if it was mocking a school shooting or suicide bomb attack ,just to see the reaction on peoples faces for a video that someone can put on the internet.

I agree ,people do take stuff serious these days ,stupid stunts like that make my list.

I understand your point, I really do. This whole video could have taken a completely different course, but it didn't. The guy should consider himself lucky.

I'm not going to tell you that it is funny because we all have different opinions. And no, I wouldn't find a "mock school shooting" funny, and I'm certain that whole world would agree. Nobody would do that, and if they did, there would be a huge negative fallout. This video, to me, is a bit different, though. It reminds me of Mega64(if you haven't heard of them, it's okay. I'm an Internet nerd). It's a group of guys that go out and pretend to be various video game characters in real life. It might not seem like a big deal, but half the time, the cops get called on them just for being silly. They aren't scaring people/chasing people. They're messing around. I recall one video where an old woman kicks the heck out of a guy dressed up as Batman. My point being, there are other situations where the person gets in way more trouble for doing less.

Yes, the guy did something incredibly dangerous, but everyone does in their life. If you live worrying about the "WCS", then life is no fun.

While slightly humorous, that guy deserved to get his ass beat. Totally inappropriate way to act in public. He's lucky he didn't get Tasered or gunned down, especially after all of the publicity the 'zombie attack' on the bridge down there got.

I agree with you. I thought it was sorta funny, when people started running off when he got near that made me laugh.
It was just a prank, nothing more. Loads of people do pranks. Some worst than this and some better.
It reminds me of the tv show "Balls of Steel UK" and "Balls of Steel Australia". The actors/actresses on that show participate in loads of risky pranks. I remember one actress. The Bunny Boiler from the UK version had her hair pulled by a woman and food thrown at her :D The actress still went on with the prank though. She's funny :lol:

Deserved to get his ass beat? not sure if serious.... It's just meant to be harmless fun, what's wrong with that?

I thought it was funny....  even funnier when he turned tail and ran from that last group.


nothing wrong with doing stupid things, as long as you're prepared for the consequences (a lot of people will have a sense of humor about it, but it only takes one without it to turn a prank into something tragic).

Lucky he didn't get shot with the other 'zombie' attack so recent.  Just read an article from earlier this year where, during a traffic stop, the suspect bit the police officer during an altercation.  He then proceeded to begin biting the K-9 dog sent in to subdue him. The man in Texas who ate his dog.  The woman in Missouri that attacked and bit her neighbor and tried to bite the cops.

Bath salts and synthetic marijuana.  That's how it all starts.  Call the company in Nebraska and order their new line of zombie bullets.
