This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That was essentially what I was going to comment.
You punch a skull like that, you're breaking knuckles. It happens vs other humans as it is, no way do you punch a gorilla in the face and do even the same amount of damage your hand takes. You're sure as hell not knocking it out.
As entertainment, the idea is awesome, because I can imagine this relatively small guy squaring up against a silverback, all confident and executing the footwork perfectly, throwing a right hook just as hard as he can, and then there's a spray of blood from his hand, followed by the gorilla turning him into steak tartare in a minute or less.
Has dude never been to a zoo that has gorillas? Back in my prime, I would have been a heavyweight, and I feel like a damn twig next to a gorilla, no matter how much height I have on one. And I've never been that close to one. Seeing them twelve feet away was intimidating as hell.
They're fearsome in a fight, but even more admirably, they don't take themselves that seriously

Worth it to watch even for the first couple minutes to hear the sound
I haven't watched the video yet, everyone is asleep and my headphones are in another room.
But I love your user name, and felt you needed to know that immediately
I love this guy's content. Maybe because it's related to nature in all its deadly splendour, but I often do a double-take on the 'will kill you' euphemisms.
This guy needs to reboot Hinterland Who's Who for Canada.
And yes, very much worth watching!
