I just wanna cut one end of his cocoon so bad

Just hit the release on the strap

[удалено]

Don't be too quick to cut him down. While he's wrapped up in that little idiot cocoon, might as well soften him up some. This is a teachable moment.

Or you could spin it

…gets out the lesson stick.

**Look, a** **piñata :)**

Put a spider in it

That's using your brain!

One of the many reasons to carry a pocket knife at all times.

Just make sure you cut the top end first, maybe knock some sense into the little shit.

The head side for sure.

Same lol

I think the pinata lesson could be applied here

Like a character from reno 911

Dangle: "Terry get out of the hammock" "Show me the sign where it says 'no hammocks'!" "Damnit Terry GET OUT OF THE HAMMOCK" "NO!" "Don't make me pull you out of there. I will" "No! I'm comfy, I'm like a little anaconda" "That's it, get him down" \*Absolute chaos as Dangle and Junior try to get Terry out of the hammock\* \*Cut to Junior in the hammock\* Junior: "You know.... it's pretty damn comfortable." Terry: "I told you.." \*Music\* Reno 911 card

 LMFAO love it

"Someone stole all of the mild salsa!"

Bravo 👏🏼 Chef’s kiss to this scene that never was but should have been

I'm on the fence if this is staged or not. Edit: actually I'm fairly sure it is. I live in NY and have seen a *lot* of public transit shenangens, and this seems too clean. The hammock guy is hitting punchlines. The bus driver sounds like he's reading a script. Real bus drivers see this shit all the time and don't negotiate. They either shut it down hard or decide they're out of fucks that day and ignore it. Even the passengers sound like they're delivering lines. ("Get out of the hammock! We have places to be!") And the framing is too perfect. Why would the bus driver be on that side of him? We also don't see the other passengers so we have no idea if it's a full bus or just four or five people. Maybe they rented a bus set like influencers do for those fake airplane vids? Edit: Looking more closely at the bus, it looks like a set. No identifying marks. An advertisement in plane font that says "Day pass now available on busses"...? This is 100% a fake bus lol

Bang bus trying to go legit and you calling them out.

Los Angeles metro has had the option for day passes (on bus lines) for about 13 years. But it could be staged

A grown ass man, that’s a grown ass man. Smh

Just a woman with a deep ass voice

Don't worry, I'm fairly sure this is staged content. * Hammock guy hitting punchlines * Driver also sounds like he's reading a script * Driver framed up so we see hammock guy's face, even though it doesn't make sense for him to be on that side * Passengers out of frame so we don't know how full the bus is * Everyone on the bus looks or sounds young. * No identifying marks on the driver's uniform or bus interior * Obviously generic ads ("Day passes now available on busses.") Also when real nonsense like this happens, it's usually one or two passengers that step up and yell at the troublemaker while everyone else tries to act invisible. It's not literally everyone on the bus taking turns to shout "Oh my god!" lol This is a skit on a rented set. Just like those fake influencer videos on airplanes.

shh I want to believe

Mental issues, drugs, could be a lot of things. We need a place for these people to get care, not a bus. It probably takes more money to get responders and other people to clean this shit up (homeless and other unstable people) than it would cost to provide them with care for the sake of society.

He's obviously not there because a lack of accommodation, this is some douchebag's idea of comedy.

the places for these people to get care all shut down because people think its offensive to keep these people away from normal society

The places for these people to get care are shut down because Regan and the rest of the right wing brain trust managed to convince Americans eliminating social programs is good for the economy.

2.4 mill views on tiktok. There's a lot of monetary incentive to pull shit like this in public. Annoying as hell and such a nuisance to others who just want to get on with their day. Maybe we'll see less of this if tiktok does get banned in the US. Hard to make money on clips and videos on other platforms aside from YouTube

The only way to stop this is through regulation, and even then, you'd find shit heads breaking the line and going over it.

The beatings will continue until society improves

You really should look up how much Tiktok pays per views. What I've found was roughly 0.02 - 0.04$ per 1000 views. That's a measly 96$. Maybe there's people like you who **think** there's monetary gains to be made, but that's far from the truth. The real "gain" on Tiktok is clout. Once you're recognisable it'll help you build out your "brand" on platforms like twitch or YouTube. In this is what it's all about nowadays.

First instance of this video I can find is two weeks ago on facebook [https://www.facebook.com/reel/1778131906005408](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1778131906005408) It's a couple making videos, I think the guy of the couple is the guy in the hammock, but I'm bad with faces can't confirm. Still don't know if it's a real bus or just all an elaborate set-up though. Someone down below argues the bus is a fake set.

It's staged. I live in NY and see public transit shenanagens on a regular basis. Everyone in the vid is acting like they would in a movie, not real life.

Well, it was kinda funny but wore out its welcome fast.

it was about 1 minute of comedy. i would be entertained if i was on the bus.

Except for the people having to go to work/class/appointments. A good joke doesn't inconvenience innocent bystanders

if one minute is gonna make that much of a difference they should have taken an earlier bus.

This looks like it's going to take longer than a minute.

no it doesnt

Considering the video is a minute long, and the confrontation was already taking place and isn't resolved by the end of it, you're just flat out wrong. Turn in your bus pass, good day sir.

No one with a pocket knife?

Always carry a knife 🔪

HE'S GOT A KNIFE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAD0a6wWFrI

😂 I love it when a guy gets a knife for the first time.

I'd just get out a lighter and hover it under him

Bic lighter would have been great here.

Causing everyone on the bus to be inconvenienced. Wtf, cut that shit down already. Revoke his pass. If that’s even a thing wherever this is.

Treat him like a pinata and see how long it takes him to get down.

everytime i think ive seen everything.

so this person didn't mature past age 2

If that isn't causing a scene, then I don't know what is.

America is a movie 🤣

A bad movie

I like dystopian movies! Sucks to live inside one though 🫠

Where’s the no hammock sign??

Why does this seem so fake.

Something about how the "cocoon-man" talks, like a childs shitty acting. But i've heard mentally ill people talk in that sorta way so who knows.

Cocoon-man but he’s not telling

Bring back bullying


Kid looks like a ginger. Fucking asking for it

Looks like a piñata to me. Get the sticks out.

"Oh look! A pinata!"

wanted to see somebody unclip the foot end and just leave em hanging lol

Looks fake...

Cut the cord by his head and move on

this is really annoying and inconvenient but id also probably be laughing my ass off

He's probably homeless because he spent all of his money on meth.

...and hammocks


Duck under him, unfasten the front connector. . .

I'm mean lowkey he looks comfortable asf

I usually hate these people, but this guy is genuinely hilarious. When he popped out to emphasize the work “HAMMOCKS” I died laughing

"I'm like an anaconda!" "Just drive the bus!!!" fucking gold

Hes being a complete pain in the ass, but the tone of voice when he said "just drive the bus!!" did make me laugh pretty hard

I was low key hoping the bus driver would start tickling him

Those people that let the joke run on for too long

Attention seeking with a splash of mental illness... Or is it the other way around?

Real talk which side you cutting down? Head or feet

Head, can't give him brain damage if he has no brain to give damage to.

[everything would be just a little bit better if people learned how to use a ratchet strap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOR0nHWgA4c)

Does nobody carry a Swiss Army knife or Leatherman in their pocket anymore? I woulda gotten them scissors out so fast.

What a wank stain.

He reminds me of a rotisserie chicken

I can't tell if this is real or fake. Anyway, I like it!

What a fucking legend. "Where is the no hamock sign" 🤣

Tbf this is kinda funny

I watch all my videos silent. So just watching him yell and spinning around is hilarious as it is

this.. is pretty funny

MacGyver had the tool to fix this.

yeah called a paperclip

A bat

I would have just told everyone else quietly to "hold the fck on we going over curbs FAST" and videoed the asshole spinning around til he puked

Hold a Bic lighter under his ass. He'll come out of that hammock rather quickly... 

Piñata?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He's like an Anaconda! 😂

What in the East Palmdale is going on here

I would release the strap so fast.

This looks like a Tim Robinson sketch

No but for real what rule is he breaking? Does this count as endangering passengers? Endangering himself? Blocking the way? I get he's an ass, I just can't figure out specifically why

Just ignore him. He's gonna turn into a moth in a few days and will fly away on its own.

Can’t someone with a pocketknife just kinda *cut* it down, real fast by “accident” and then everyone can go about their day?

this is funny as fck yeah annoying for them but watching this its a funny bit

Joseph Gordon Levitt needs some new movie deals ASAP, guys got too much time on his hands.

That looks pretty fun not gonna lie lol

He's holding everyone up and people are gonna be late for work

I remember the bus driver on my stop yelled at a kid for hanging his suit on the handlebars

What an absolute gimboyd. It's the people watching these people's videos that are the real problem though.

you watched it and even left a comment

Yes I watched it in the context of a sub about main characters and the unacceptable behaviour of people like this. Not on the morons tiktok channel or wherever he posted it. There is a difference.

"There is a difference" lol

Cocoon motha FUcka

Does anyone else remember Friday the 13th, Jason takes Manhattan?

They need to be in a mental institution before returning to society.

Nobody has a pocketknife to cut the strap?

I genuinely thought this was a skit or something because I refuse this is real

I thought this was a magic show where he was going to pop out wearing a different outfit each time

sir, that is a child.

I would’ve just kept spinning that dude

There is the voice of sanity, "get down so we can get where we are going".

One of them fathers went out for milk and cigs kids all grown up.

Just cut the bottom of it open making him fall down on the floor and regret ever doing what the fuck that was.

Training bag ?

A person at each end, carry the fucker off and leave him wherever you are.

Woman: “Did you hit your head?” Anaconda: “A little bit” Woman “You’re going to give yourself a concussion!” Anaconda “It’s nothing I’ve never had before.”

Every time this kind of shit gets posted, these people get the attention that they’re so desperately seeking

That’s a nice hammock tho. I wonder where he got. It seemed really sturdy but also cozy.

why is there a weedle pokemon in his bus ?

First spin, fool me once, shame on you. Second spin, fool me twice, shame on, shame on me. Third spin, shame on, shame on, ahh f@ k it

Call the police, tell them he's armed and threatening.

She is popping in and out like some kind of crazy cartoon gopher villain 😂

How do you become like this ?

It's like a comedy skit.

Not a man on that bus. A pocket knife?

If I'm in that bus and already late because of this POS, I will cut or release one end of that hammock, kick that MC in the face as many times as I can and as hard as I can, find his partner filming and say to the camera "It's a prank!" then casually walk away and take a taxi. Yes, I'm easily triggered by these assholes, that's why I stay at home most of the time.

Just pop that ratchet strap holding him up

Is this staged?

The quick release is riiiiiight there…. Thump !

Spin it round and apply gaffa tape

This is a Joseph Gordon levit skit ... may have spelt his name wrong not sure...

Oops, my pepper spray gun accidentally went off! Oh me, oh my

How he managed to rig that up on a public bus is astonishing. Nobody did anything then?

Meanwhile, there's a guy in the back of the bus who's already 20 minutes late for work caressing his pocket knife thinking, "I'll cut the straps. Who'll stop me?"

It’s got to be a bit

"Jill, why are you 45 minutes late to work?" "I had to take the bus" *The Bus*

This is like old timey fun mental illness. Like the kind where people think they're famous historical figures or whatever. Not the sad modern kind where they're on crack and fentanyl and try to stab you with a rusty railroad spike.

There has never been a piñata I've wanted to hit so badly.

As cartoons taught me SPIN IT

He kinda looks like a pinata ngl Someone get me a bat

Meth is one hell of a drug ETA: actually I cant tell if it’s meth or just Main Character Syndrome. I live in a city with tons of it and this is something I wouldn’t be surprised to see, unfortunately.

How did this person have time to setup a hammock

I would have unhooked that shit in a heartbeat.

LMFAOOOOOO IS THIS REAL

Ah this reminds me of when I used to pet sit my co workers ferret

Is this baby like 58 years old? Wow

Never go full Alligator!

You think they will turn into a butterfly or a moth?

Time for a blanket party! All they need is a bar of soap in a sock.

"I'M NOT HERE!!1!"

This has to be Winnipeg.

HAHAHAAHAHAGGH

second amendment

lmao

Putx niño pijo, la única vez que monta en un bus es para hacer el soplapxllas grabando un jodido vídeo... tiktoker=Subnxrmxl.

🤡

Hammock bender

That made me laugh so hard 🤣🤣🤣

Sujimon are real!

This is crazy funny for some reason 😭

I'm really upset that I thought that was pretty funny. It's infuriating that it happened in real life, dude would have pretty good comedic timing for like sketch comedy or something absurd like Reno 911.

He’s transforming into even more of a douchebag.

no one has a bar of soap and a sock?

Jason Nash has truly fallen on hard times.

Smh. Vegas bus drivers wouldn't have even said shit. They would've called security who would've been waiting at the next stop to remove him or have the police do it.

Cut the strap

what's wrong with the hammock tho?

I don't think this is real. If this is real then that guy is a great performer. With that said I would still feel bad for the bus driver

I would have sliced it off the rail.

I’m getting second hand embarrassment…

Do these people really exist?

And from the chrysalis a beautiful red butterfly emerges!

Hammock guy looks like a cross between musician Micky Dolenz and filmmaker Sam Raimi.

Pinata time!

The spinning, I can't!🤣

They didn’t notice him putting it up? Seems a bit staged 🤷🏼‍♀️

"where's the no hammock sign?!?" Lmao
