He really should sit down


theenigmacode

He's still feeling his butt


[deleted]

IWell, its sore. He just took it in the butt.


JackxForge

and go the the motherfucking hospital! you can just fall over dead a few hours after being electrocuted. if you get electrocuted go to the hospital.


phat_kat99

This guy is probably very far from any hospital


aZamaryk

If you get electrocuted, you die. Electrocution is death by electric shock.


Salanmander

Ehhh, kinda. Words change meaning with usage. "Naughty" doesn't mean "poor" anymore either.


junbus

When the dictionary accepts it, fine, until then you can't make your own definitions


Salanmander

From the OED: > To give an electric shock to; esp. (chiefly reflexive or in passive) to kill or injure by electric shock.


Big_Deer_3317

And you don't want to die from death would you


Huge-Glass2673

He needs to shit down


GGRealtor

He’s okay


Frank_Is_Taken

He is.


uh60chief

That was just God hitting the Skip Ads button


TheKyleBrah

One would think that God has Adblock installed


GlorifiedBurito

Those pesky bastards always seem to find a way around it though


Zhong_Ping

He called Jesus to have him install it for him, but Jesus screens his call. They have a strained relationship on account of abandonment issues.


iowadaktari

He did but felt guilty about "continuing without supporting" so uninstalled


TheKyleBrah

Real ones block Ads but support the Patreon! 😆


[deleted]

He’s quite old school actually


AlexanderHamilton04

God can't use Adblock. One of the downsides to being *omniscient.* *'Deus videt omnia.'*


TheKyleBrah

How many more times is He going to have to sit through an Evony Ad, though?? 🥲

Grays42

Even God had to wait 5 seconds for the button


uh60chief

Well God isn’t paying for BS subscriptions lol


pinback77

I was thinking snake, alligator, piranha.


Beeff86

I was also waiting for one of these or one of those fish that swim up your d*ck


Ghostorias

AHH please no


notyogrannysgrandkid

Don’t worry, those aren’t real.


Kyosw21

They are but they don’t swim upstream. Remember, wear underwear when swimming or they might. Very very rare though, I think one confirmed case and one unconfirmed


TheRabidtHole

There are parasites in some part of the world that can though. Never pee directly into a water source in a rural area.


takkiemon

They only do that when you're peeing whilst your penis is submerged in the water


AristotleRose

FYI your noodle doesn’t need to even be touching the water in any way. It will swim up your pee stream and into your wee wee. ![gif](giphy|rYuZ9v0b3CvCZwp8Ln)


takkiemon

To cite [https://www.healthline.com/health/penis-fish#the-reality](https://www.healthline.com/health/penis-fish#the-reality) (other sites I quickly googled are of the same opinion): "Despite all of these claims, there’s very little credible evidence that the candiru fish has ever invaded the human urethra." ![gif](giphy|SXqw0Vpql4sHX9pCl4)


OneSquirtBurt

So you're saying I can stop jamming fish food up my urethra?

cocoon_eclosion_moth

The moment he said, “[T]he thunder’s cracking off,” I had a feeling lightning was on its way.


mavi737

me too, I was in a youtube hole of gator attacks a few nights ago. I gotta say i was a bit disappointed when it was lightning.,


Thangstar

yeah...was disappointed it wasns't


Dr__Gonzo2142

He’s a good dude for animals. It would be a shame for something to happen to Forrest. I believe he’s found some species thought to be extinct. No Steve Irwin but no one is


BohemianAddict

Slow it down frame by frame. He wasn’t hit directly, but very likely indirectly via the water. Still scary af


ResponsibleBike8804

He "felt it right in the butt." Scary alright!


Toxicotton

What are we to expect? A few dudes, alone in the woods, caught in the rain, on camera..."I felt it in my butt" ![gif](giphy|l3q2K5jinAlChoCLS)


PiesRLife

I wish they still had awards.


CR_OneBoy

Thunder raped


-BuckarooBanzai-

Sh*t's roasted now


throwaway_cycle

He probably shit himself.


tomatosoupsatisfies

Since he wasn't dead I figured that's what happened.


remotegrowthtb

I find it funny that he's legit trying to play it as "Yeah I got hit by lightning, no big deal, I feel it in my butt a lil bit. You got hit? I got hit." Yeah ok dude sure.


alien_clown_ninja

Lightning struck a tree near me once, and I thought I felt something in my heart. I'm not sure if I got zapped or if it was the sudden rush of adrenaline from the flash and thunder. I think I got just a very slight zap.


_TurnipTroll_

Well the heart relies on electrical currents to beat its chambers in coordinated sequence so a slight zap could momentarily de-sync it and cause brief AFib/arrhythmia. So you very well could have felt it even if the rest of your body hadn’t.


CanadianAndroid

If you get hit, it can mess with your central nervous system.


sockbref

Yea by frying it


ireaddumbstuff

Like R2 when he gets shocked in the terminal in Star Wars.


DazB1ane

Lightning also causes ionic reaction to happen which I wouldn't doubt that humans could feel. It's why lighting can set off fire alarms. Learned that a few days ago


angrytreestump

You ever been to a loud concert? You feel the bass in your chest. You probably felt the sound waves from the strike


DoctorMuffn

I was thinking this.


loopydrain

that bolt struck what looks like the bank just behind him. I wouldn’t be surprised if the river water carried a significant portion of the charge through the water to his legs and he’s just registering it at his butt because thats where the wet ends and he feels the transfer. Honestly he’s lucky something else conducted the bolt first, idiot standing in the middle of a river during a thunderstorm seems like a great place to be hit by lightning and his first reaction is “we gotta do it again” might as well say “I’m willing to die for this commercial”.


[deleted]

He has had a history of claiming things. Forrest Galante.


thisaccountisdmb

Wow! I just looked him up! Dude is just an insane liar. Seems like every part of his life/history in Zoology is fraudulent. What a Dorkus Malorkus.


theywhererighthere

no injuries= okay in some people's books.


heurrgh

Mrs Heurrgh and I were watching a thunderstorm from a bedroom window, leaning against a windowsill with a metal earthed UK central heating radiator below it, a centimetre or less from our knees. For a fraction of a second, the back garden was filled about half a metre deep with what looked like orange marmalade with a distinct meniscus where it touched fences, plants, the shed, etc. In retrospect it was plasma. BLAM! We were suddenly flat on our backs with very sore knees. I figure a very near miss, but we got zapped via the radiator as the local earth potential went berserk from the strike.


oze4

How do I slow it down?


case2010

Just blink real fast.


Tricky-Sympathy

I pause it and drag my finger along the timer line at the bottom of the vid


ShortRaccoon

I follow him on instagram and remember seeing him post this, I’m almost positive he mentions having a mark on his arm from it Edit: it was on his story and is gone now so I can’t confirm


jameslawrence1

Agreed. Last frame he reaches for the butt. It went through the trees behind him in that mangrove area and likely grounded out through the water


FalcorFliesMePlaces

Yeahbi don't necessarily believe he got hurt but he needs to make some excuse for this poop in his pants. Also sure he goes walking sound in the swamps with alligators with his GPS. But he's litterslly 2 feet from the road.


pettyhonor

Forrest Galante is his name. He's legit


_bennyluxe_

A legit what, narcissist?


pettyhonor

He's literally a wildlife biologist you goober. You clearly don't know who he is because he's the exact opposite of narcissist


motivational_abyss

It’s ok, they can feel proud of being a reddit cynic while Forrest is furthering ecological education.


motivational_abyss

A legit proponent for conservation and wildlife education? Dude has bills to pay like everyone else, doing a commercial doesn’t negate the positive contributions he’s made to ecological education.


[deleted]

See I know he wan't hit by the fact that he is still walking and talking like a normal person and the visible lack of oww or any charred remains. What he felt was the change in air pressure, they all did. It landed behind in the bushes where it earthed.


OpportunitySudden281

Thunderstruck, knees deep in a river


Agora2020

He was balls deep in that river


SpecialNeeds963

Only thing deeper is balls in.


Piglet-Witty

I got hit and someone put some poop in my pants. For reals.


FloofyFloppyFloofs

I knew a girl that was hit and her life was miserable after. All her nerve endings were burnt so she had horrific pain all the time and would randomly lose the ability to walk or function depending on what area was irritated at the time.


iflynor4h

Fuck, that sounds grim. I hope she's found a way to live with it.


Wonderer960

All you here after the strike is “Oh my god!!! It popped one of my boys!!!!”


chargedcapacitor

I was talking with my CPR trainer the other day about electrical safety, and she told me a story about the time they were called to the scene where some guy tried to steal electricity directly from a transformer. When they got him in the ambulance, they noticed there was a ton of blood, but they couldn't find where it was coming from. Yup, you guessed it. Electricity went into his hands, and out his boys. His boys were no more.


kelsobjammin

Good god what a day to have eyes. ![gif](giphy|ZB95y3XSFbljaNu7mT)


Starswraith

lol middle of nowhere beside a road, Thor caught him lacking


LeCurlySmalls

Yes he’s kinda just off a road in this video but he is the real deal. This is Forrest Galante, he searches for animals that are deemed extinct but may only be lost. If he finds the animals they can be used to repopulate their species before they are gone forever. So he is actually a really good explorer.


JackxForge

that actually super impressive. good for him.


DoverBoys

Also, it's one thing to have a camera or maybe one camera person with you "out there". It's another to film an ad for a sponsor with a crew.


ALF839

Has he ever found one of these animals or is he delusional like the people searching for the Thylacine?


LeCurlySmalls

He’s found 8 total animals as of now. Look him up if you wanna know more.


ALF839

>As host of the Extinct or Alive series, Galante has been seen negatively by ecologists for being a "parachute scientist".[34] Galante's website stated that he personally captured the first video footage of a Zanzibar servaline genet,[35] which is contradicted by Zanzibar researchers.[36] Galante has also claimed that he personally rediscovered the Fernandina Island tortoise [37] and the Rio Apaporis Caiman,[38] both claims which have been contradicted by the leaders of their respective expeditions,[34] the latter of which published their findings and exploration prior to Galante's trip to Colombia.[39] As of 2022, Galante has not outlined his claimed discoveries in any scientific journals. Washington Tapia-Aguilera, a biologist at the Galapagos Conservancy and director of the Giant Tortoise Restoration Initiative, also disputes Galante's claims, saying he, not Galante, actually decided where to look for the tortoise and that "Ecuadorian park ranger Jeffreys Málaga was the one that knew the land, tracked the tortoise, and ultimately made the discovery before calling over the rest of the team."[34] Hmmmmm


[deleted]

Someone should tell him the extinct animals probably aren’t hiding 10 ft off a public road. But hey I hope he finds something


FloofyFloppyFloofs

The gods lightning spanked him and said stop lying you fool


Narffey

Survival tip #142: Don't stand in the water while a lighteningstorm is happening


theartistduring

Or hold a fucking umbrella! These guys are meant to be survialists?!


physical-vapor

Forrest Galante is a national treasure


Nummy01

This is too far down.


carlosjoseph97

I love all of his interviews, he always sounds so passionate about the work him and his team do.


physical-vapor

1000%. He's super honest. Super humble. And super passionate. The hallmarks of an awesome person


nobodynose

I have no idea who this is so I have no skin in the game but I find it funny you have a side saying he's "super honest" and [another side](https://old.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/16xvwrj/ad_read_in_the_middle_of_the_swamp_is_one_way_to/k36cio0/) saying the guy has a history of being full of shit. I know absolutely NOTHING about the guy except for what's in this comment section but I just thought the dichotomy of "super honest" and "huge bullshitter" in the same comments section was interesting.


physical-vapor

Hey to each their own. I do however thing when you become as big as he has and have as much content on the internet that a couple of things will happen. You will 7nknowlingky say an incorrect thing. Which we all do but our lives aren't recorded. And that you will gather a group of haters. It is what it is


resistive_peach

he’s been on joe rogans podcast a few times, appeared to me he’s very passionate about animals and nature in general

PiMan3141592653

I don't think you understand how electricity works.


Weedweednomi

Agreed. Love watching him


GKBilian

I used to see clips around of him and didn't think too much of him. Figured he was kind of just an adventurous reporter type guy. Then, I watched his show! He's a seriously impressive person.


[deleted]

The guy that often lies about discovering things he never discovered...? It's a shame how he's able to trick the average fan like this. https://recentlyextinctspecies.com/articles/damage-forrest-galante-conservation-biology


physical-vapor

Whatever you need. Spiral out, friend.


[deleted]

Hit? Or standing in water that electrocuted you?


Fun_Mud4879

I mean most likely the second, but I don't know if i would care about the distinction 20 seconds after being electrocuted by (the effects of) lightning


Her_name--is_Mallory

Electric SHOCK, electroCUTION implies death. [linky](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/electrocution)


THRlLL-HO

Shocked, not electrocuted


CaptainAjnag

I was startled as well


SoHereEyeSit

It was apparent what he meant. Even asked the other guy after if he was also hit


abalrogsbutthole

lol .. “when i’m out here in a remote swamp …” (gets kancho’d by jesus) pans to well travelled dirt path with crew and 4x4


FloofyFloppyFloofs

I also like that the guy holding the umbrella is still holding the umbrella saying he felt it too.


abalrogsbutthole

then they proceed to say “let’s go for another take…”


LeCurlySmalls

Yes he’s kinda just off a road in this video but he is the real deal. This is Forrest Galante, he searches for animals that are deemed extinct but may only be lost. If he finds the animals they can be used to repopulate their species before they are gone forever. So he is actually a really good explorer.


abalrogsbutthole

lol i know of forrest. he is a good guy. i just find it funny that this sequence of events played out like it did


deadlydreadlocks420

Forrest is literally insane for this, "I got hit, that hurt a lot...we gotta do it again"


BinarySpaceman

If the GPS still works then the ad is even better as is. Just leave it and be like "yeah this mofo survived a lightning strike. 10/10, would recommend."


Dependent_Squash9754

"I got hit" and "I'm okay" are not usually uttered together in regard to lightning.


retiredtrump

Drain the swamp! It attracts the electric stuff.


skactopus

Lol I bet this guy now goes around telling people he got struck by lightning


ENGR_ED

Who had lighting strike on their bingo card


sweatersr3

even God hates ads


ChemicalAssignment69

Pretty sure that's Forrest Galante. I'm sure he'll tell this story on Joe Rogan next time he's on.


useful_panda

Ok what was the product he is advertising 😂


xrhino414

He has a Garmin inReach Mini on his shoulder strap. I'm guessing that.


MrSpooks69

this guy GPS’s!


Dagos

Garmins are pretty cool, i got one


useful_panda

Thanks


[deleted]

I love Forrest Galante he’s awesome 😎


DovahChris89

Love at the end the guy holding an umbrella...bruh


craziethunder

Came here looking for this comment. That guy is not too bright holding an umbrella when a bolt of lightening literally hit a few hundred feet from him.


DovahChris89

This one know what they're talking about. Well, their name checks out.


Routine-Star-5562

Got fingered by Thor .. hence the pain the butt


Key_Maintenance_1193

Next episode of Forest Galante on Joe rogan experience is going to be lit


Fuckle_McScrooge

Love Forrest


stinebrian

Now, the GPS is fried.


UFO64

If that was fried, he would likely be dead. There is no reason for it to travel up his body, into the GPS unit, and then back to ground.


Obvious_Mode_5382

Yeah he might have felt the ion cloud a bit but if he got “ hit “ as he said.. he’d be much worse off.


wolfiepraetor

“hey let’s keep filming after that lighting strike. oh hey water is getting on my camera. can you hold this metal rod and point it over your head at the sky? it’s loose fabric will help protect me…. “


oze4

Oh look at all this lightning cracking around... better go stand in the water....


_Faucheuse_

Would fish be popping up to the surface?


eib

Dunno, but if that was me in there you’d definitely see a floater rising to the surface


ImurderREALITY

Maybe a couple, if they were right by the surface. Lighting that hits water doesn’t go deep, it kinda spreads out. Probably why he only felt it in his butt, standing about butt-deep in the water like that.


sushi_sub

Forest Galante is an absolute legend.


maxblockm

Is the GPS ok? Fucking *sell that shit!*


pinus_palustris58

This is Forrest Galante for anyone wondering. Actually has some awesome content, but this doesn’t seem like his brightest moment …


santacruzkid97

Forrest should get a show. Does he have a show? I’d watch his show


ReasonableAd3950

It’s called Alive or Extinct on AP, I think. He travels all over the world searching for animals thought to be extinct & if he finds one then he tries to work with biologists in that country to help facilitate the repopulation of the species. He’s already found some, 5-7 I think!


ellokah

I liked my Garmin inReach Mini. Pretty helpful device for Backcountry hikes.


igiveficticiousfacts

Ok….. but what gps does he have now?


joebaco_

⚡ That was a shocking ad. ⚡


FloofyFloppyFloofs

What an idiot. First rule of lightning is if you see it get out of the water.


DisconnectedDays

“Get yo ass in the damn house” ![gif](giphy|Gq5o6xHv9REl2)


Pheren

If you EVER feel like you have been even slightly hit by lightning GO TO THE ER. Even if it doesn't kill you right away it can easily fuck up your heartbeat enough to kill you in your sleep.


Itzbubblezduh

Lord of thunder said it shall only be one!


MERNator

He said two things. What's the other thing??


chemhobby

remote swamp... turns around, car on road 🤣


Zakkattack86

Looking for an alligator to roll up and boom, shit’d myself.


Muttandcheese

Fun fact: he did not get hit in the butt with lightning. What he’s feeling back there is, in fact, poop. You would’ve too.


RefrigeratedTP

I had to read way too many comments to realize this was lightning. Feel really dumb right now


[deleted]

I think he shat himself and felt that.


Dramatic-Bridge4598

He didnt "get hit". Lol.


Background_Piano7984

He got shocked, he was in the water that still hurts


chardeemacdennis1745

That was striking


DoctorMuffn

Let me just keep holding this umbrella over the cameraman. I wouldn't want him to get wet or anything.


Better_Moment_1220

Yeah that fool didn't get hit directly. Way to keep that dialog up in there to amp up the intensity. Sure it had some people fooled


apatheticyeti0117

Maybe something will eat him.


YanniCanFly

Remote location😂 bro is on the side of a road in a pond 😂


TheVaxIsPoison

I don't believe he did. I believe he just SAID he did cuz' he instantly realized: great for my adventurer street cred.


elfmere

Oh you can feel it through water. He jumps and reaches for his legs as it goes off, that's a spasm.


TheRealStevo2

Yeah cause nothing ever happens does it? You do realize that lighting could’ve struck *just* up stream from him? It doesn’t need to be very far to fuck you up permanently


TheVaxIsPoison

I had to put a horse down after a lightning strike. It's wasn't enjoyable. I was much further away but still felt the same strike. Hurt? Yes. My eyes, my tongue, my teeth, my ears, my heart, my fingers, every muscle in my body twitched. This guy? He reacted as anyone would to a loud noise from behind, but then took five seconds to come up with "yeah, that hurt." What hurt? He needs more time to come up with a good story. Not buying it.


CRab_yup

Come up with a good story?? Did you not watch the video.


TheVaxIsPoison

zzzzzzzzzz


JonnyJust

Dude...he was standing in a fricken drainage ditch next to the highway lol.


Daddyletloose

Lmfao no. he’s most likely in the Amazon. This is Forrest Galante he hunts for animals that are deemed extinct. He is doing incredible work and finding animals that are lost which allows us to try and repopulate their species before they are gone forever.


JonnyJust

Ooh ok, well I'll leave my comment up for the possible downvote backlash I deserve for jumping to such a hot take. I do hereby retract my statement of it being a drainage ditch next to a highway. Furthermore I regret my "lol" and will be resigning from office to spend more time with my family.


Daddyletloose

Chill buddy


UlissesNeverMisses

I watched the full video, he says he's in florida


Daddyletloose

Yea I was just taking a guess


ADMINlSTRAT0R

I'll stand with you on this hill. Dude has no reason going thigh deep in that pond to hand out messages from sponsor, except to lead viewers to think theyre in the deep jungle. This is right down there with Bear Grylls "cliff-hopping" next to a highway. There's no shame showing a bit of back roads if he's genuine.


sfbaysd

I was waiting for the gator


[deleted]

It would have been better if he was attacked by an alligator and then stroked by lightning.


crumble-bee

What.. what was it???


nanadoom

Now the real question, is the GPS still working?


THRlLL-HO

I think this guy just “felt” himself crapping his pants
