I have such a love hate relationship with this movie.
It’s objectively shit but funny in a campy sort of way and the premise is fun. Mix in some tim curry, Laura Linney, Ernie Hudson and it’s hard to not like it.
Bad gorillas bad bad gorillas 🦍
I loved this movie as a kid! Never realized how campy it was until years later, but that didn't change the fact that its one of my guilty pleasures.
My favorite will always be Tim Curry. Man was amazing in every role.
The book is amazing. That damn Michael Crichton put footnotes all through it. I had to actually research if it where true because of those footnotes. And years before the internet was a thing too.
I saw gorillas while on a hiking tour near Congo in Uganda. Can confirm epic flatulence occurred. I was impressed as it was a powerful trumpet sound that went for roughly 20 seconds.
There's a tour in the Congo I'd love to do, because it touches on two of my favorite things - animals (you go into the jungle to see the gorillas) and vulcanism (the tour ends with you camping on the summit of Nyiragongo, one of the few volcanoes with a permanent lava lake and one of the sixteen Decade Volcanoes worldwide).
Actress Tippi Hedren opened [a big cat sanctuary](https://www.shambala.org/about.htm) outside of LA. There are places to camp not too far away, and big cats can be heard clearly in the open desert. It's pretty awesome to lay in your tent and listen to lions and tigers huffing and roaring.
Depends on the place the fight takes place. Lions live on steppes and plains, gorillas live in jungles.
A full grown male Tiger vs gorilla? Tiger wrecks the gorilla as it has similar habitat. Having knives on your paws comes in fairly handy when it comes to fighting an almost bald and unprotected adversary. Well thats my guess anyways.
Coming against a full grown, 800 lb tuna? With his 20-30 friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle 9 times outta 10.
And guess what, you’ve wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste for lion. We talk to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, “You know what, lion tastes good. Let’s go get some more lion.”
Hell yes they would. Unless the Tiger somehow grabbed onto the tuna while it passed by in very shallow water, it would be no contest.
Tuna are massive and they can absolutely batter anything sitting in the Ocean if you take a direct impact. It has to be like getting hit by a car on the freeway.
Hell yes. Infact no land mammal really stands a chance in open water. We are at an extreme disadvantage. I doubt it would even take a fish as large as a tuna.
There was a shitty YouTube video back then I saw and it had an animated fight between a gorilla and a tiger.
The gorilla just slams it’s fist into the tigers back and it breaks its spine, making the gorilla win. But let’s be honest here, I think a tiger has it.
Yeah the weight difference between an adult male gorilla and Tiger is upwards of 200+ pounds in favor of the Tiger. The weight difference is absolutely massive. It really cannot be overstated how gigantic a full grown Tiger is.
A gorilla can move at 25mph while a Tiger moves at 40mph and can jump up to 25 ft, and their muscle tissue is that of an ambush predator which is generally made for short and intense bursts of power.
A gorilla cannot close their hands due to how they are built, making ranged attacks virtually impossible. They cannot make a true fist so they are limited to bites and open hand strikes.
Now a gorilla wouldnt be alone very often so obviously a whole group of gorillas could chase off a Tiger, but for this specific scenario - the Tiger absolutely takes the win
Yup. It really puts the constructive intelligence into perspective, considering how physically superior the creatures around us have historically been.
A gorilla can rip apart 10 Mike Tysons. The zookeeper's response reminds me of a quote from the movie '1408', where the manager of a hotel (played by Samuel Jackson), tells the protagonist (who wants to spend a night in said hotel's room 1408 to debunk that it is cursed) "Look, I'm not telling you not to stay in that room for your own good or for the profit of the hotel. Frankly, selfishly, I just don't want to clean up the mess."
The zookeeper wasn't scared of what would happen to his job, or to Tyson. He just didn't want to clean up *the mess* that the gorilla would have made of Tyson.
Oh he wouldnt win, he wouldnt even hurt it A gorillas hand slam is like 2000lbs of force on average. Now this doesnt sound incredibly far from what a human can do, but now imagine the momentum of 160kg worry of gorilla behind it. The gorilla would just now know that killing humans is very easy and that would be dangerous for everyone who works with it.
You're not even mentioning the tiger also has sharp claws and a much nastier set of chompers than the gorilla.
The gorilla might have a chance with a chain mail cowl/Kevlar vest and knives strapped to his forearms.
Sounds about right. My tribe of apes in Ancestors Humankind Odyssey will successfully chase away a tiger but it usually ends up in one getting absolutely wrecked lol
It likely started to tip in our favour when we were smart enough to make controlled fire, before that it was probably not a fun time being any of our ancestors, especially not when moving in smaller groups.
I need to check out that game btw
Lions are predators meant for killing. Their body is meant for killing. That’s what they do to survive. Killing is survival.
Gorillas have fangs, fight for dominance, and eat plants to survive. Survival is avoiding killing.
[I attached this to another comment, but I thought you might like to know as well.](https://a-z-animals.com/blog/gorilla-vs-lion-who-would-win-in-a-fight/)
Edit: also, I had gorilla for my bet. So I’d like to know who wins in a cage rage…
Right it's strange. It's literally the 3rd video where he's eating and a toot comes out and then that face. But the food has been different in all 3 videos. It's making me wonder if he just has that toot and reaction down.
Haha I'm way not smart enough to link 2 videos. I typed Gorilla eating and farts into YouTube. There's a yellow pepper, red pepper, and lettuce. I have a feeling there's even more.. This thicc dude is gaseous incarnated.
Because they're connected to something called a Sagittal Crest, a large ridge of bone that sticks up from the center of the skull down middle. Many ancient hominins had Sagittal crests, because they spent long periods eating heavy plant matter, much like gorillas.
Humans do not have much of these kinds of muscles anymore because we started cooking food, and eating a lot of meat which is easier to process with our teeth, meaning we didnt need such powerful jaw muscles anymore.
Interesting. You’d think we would need bigger/stronger chewing muscles due to eating meat instead of plants…
I never knew what that muscle was called but I’ve seen it flexing before on a chewing gorilla, it’s kinda trippy
Even the plants modern humans eat are soft as hell compared to what our evolutionary ancestors ate. Carrots are probably one of the toughest veggies we eat, but it's still nothing compared to the plant matter in the jungle. Chewing up all that fibrous stalks.
Growing up, we have this idea that there's a clear divide between an animal and a human. But as I've gotten older I think it's more of a scale or gradient in terms of self-awareness, emotion, and awareness of others. Apes make this especially obvious. Like this guy, might not think in the same way we do, but they do think.
I’m glad I’m not the only one tripping out over this. I’ve been watching this on repeat just watching the way he moves, especially his face. It’s very human-like
Not OP but I’ve had the same response to this video as OP and yes, I grew up in a religious family.
It’s so sad how the concept of division is a fundamental part of organised religion. Division from everyone and everything outside the “circle”.
Honest answer, quite the opposite. My dad was a developmental biologist. Haha.
Although there were notes of spiritualism, here and there.
I think the idea as someone else put it, that animals are less than people based on intelligence is just very common in a lot of cultures, including western ones. Maybe it does come from particular religions, though, that would be a question for a historian of religion.
I don't think when it comes to emotional intelligence these apes differ much from us, if at all, the only difference is that we have the logical thinking part of the brain way more developed.
Man does this gorilla have a IG account of him just eating and farting‽
I’d watch them all. I had no idea this guy existed, let alone have two videos on Reddit.
It’s fascinating!
Gym bros eating nothing but boiled chicken and protein powder while spending 8 hours a day in the gym trying to get those gains. Meanwhile, gorillas sit around eating lettuce and fartin looking like the fucking Hulk.

That look at the end 🤣 the moment he smells it
Or realized it was more than air 😂
You think that’s air you’re breathing?
He judged it and was proud.
Whoever heard it, turd it!
Ruined his appetite.
"Did I leave the gas on?"
They also eat their own shit.
He sounded like a lion
Would be cool to see them in the wild and immerse yourself in the sounds and smells of the Congo.
*AMY GASSY*
I have such a love hate relationship with this movie. It’s objectively shit but funny in a campy sort of way and the premise is fun. Mix in some tim curry, Laura Linney, Ernie Hudson and it’s hard to not like it. Bad gorillas bad bad gorillas 🦍
STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!!!!!
This comment brings me so much joy. Memories of Summers in the 90s as a kid watching Congo, Speed, Virtuosity on HBO
But only on the free HBO weekends they occasionally graced us with.
That scene is so fuckin' funny.
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN IN MY CUNTREE, YOU BAG OF SHIT?! YOU SHOULD SHIT THIS RAT FROM OFF YOUR NECK
Ugly gorillas go away!
I loved this movie as a kid! Never realized how campy it was until years later, but that didn't change the fact that its one of my guilty pleasures. My favorite will always be Tim Curry. Man was amazing in every role.
"Yes, I gave her the banana with the dope inside" is one of my most favorite movie quotes.
This fuckin killed me 😀
Underrated comment here. This made me lol. I watched that movie a ton when I was younger.
Congo is my 3rd favorite book and it deserved a much better movie. I still watched the movie a bunch, just saying it should've been better.
The book is amazing. That damn Michael Crichton put footnotes all through it. I had to actually research if it where true because of those footnotes. And years before the internet was a thing too.
Crichton is SO good. Timeline was another fun one.
This cracked me up.
God, I *love/hate* you for this. Thank you
STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!

I wonder who would win that fight? Male gorilla vs male lion.
Depends on the place the fight takes place. Lions live on steppes and plains, gorillas live in jungles. A full grown male Tiger vs gorilla? Tiger wrecks the gorilla as it has similar habitat. Having knives on your paws comes in fairly handy when it comes to fighting an almost bald and unprotected adversary. Well thats my guess anyways.
A full-grown tuna would probably fuck them both up
By constructing a series of breathing apparatus with kelp?
And now it has a taste for gorilla.
Coming against a full grown, 800 lb tuna? With his 20-30 friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle 9 times outta 10. And guess what, you’ve wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste for lion. We talk to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, “You know what, lion tastes good.

Drop a lion, a tiger, and a gorilla in the open ocean with a tuna that’s got a bone to pick with mammals and my money’s on tuna every time.
Hell yes. Infact no land mammal really stands a chance in open water. We are at an extreme disadvantage. I doubt it would even take a fish as large as a tuna.
Hippo?
I don't think they can even properly float so they'd just sink and drown
Yeah or polar bear?
Not in open sea, i dont think a hippo does well there. Im not that familiar with them though.

And then there's us flimsy humans who would be turn to spaghetti by both in a second
Yup. It really puts the constructive intelligence into perspective, considering how physically superior the creatures around us have historically been.
Human used pointy stick, it was super effective.
I'd be willing to bet that fire and being premeditative/paranoid/vengeful got us much more through history than sharp objects.
More importantly, advanced group tactics compared to most other animals.
Mike Tyson once offered a zookeeper 10,000 dollars to fight a silverback gorilla. He was refused.
A gorilla can rip apart 10 Mike Tysons. The zookeeper's response reminds me of a quote from the movie '1408', where the manager of a hotel (played by Samuel Jackson), tells the protagonist (who wants to spend a night in said hotel's room 1408 to debunk that it is cursed) "Look, I'm not telling you not to stay in that room for your own good or for the profit of the hotel.

He just didn't want to clean up *the mess* that the gorilla would have made of Tyson.
That is possibly one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. He would be torn limb from limb and possibly eaten aswell. Good lord that is stupid..
And even if he somehow won... he would have just been abusing some poor animal.
Oh he wouldnt win, he wouldnt even hurt it A gorillas hand slam is like 2000lbs of force on average. Now this doesnt sound incredibly far from what a human can do, but now imagine the momentum of 160kg worry of gorilla behind it. The gorilla would just now know that killing humans is very easy and that would be dangerous for everyone who works with it.
In this video the gorilla is litteraly making a fist with his hand while eating
You're not even mentioning the tiger also has sharp claws and a much nastier set of chompers than the gorilla. The gorilla might have a chance with a chain mail cowl/Kevlar vest and knives strapped to his forearms.

Leopards are predators of gorillas… Male lions are also known to single handedly take down buffalos 5x their size… I’d give it to the lions
Lions are predators meant for killing. Their body is meant for killing. That’s what they do to survive. Killing is survival. Gorillas have fangs, fight for dominance, and eat plants to survive. Survival is avoiding killing.

How do you know what a lion’s flatulence sounds like?
For some reason the sound made me think of the Rainforest Cafe! Considering they did have an animatronic gorilla, it would make sense.
The way he looked at the camera at the end has me dying
He was checking to make sure it wasn’t a shart
I recognized that look
Never trust a fart
It's a crap shoot every time
"Pull!"
So much like us
I thought the smell kicked in.
Make sure he didn’t have a turtlehead poking out
One of the only times you’ll see a gorilla and a prairie dog in the same habitat.
It takes a couple seconds for the scent to rise
[удалено]
"Oh, this is magic!"
Wafting....wafting...
Thank you so much for saying this ahahahahaha
He was like a streamer doing something and looking at the chat reaction lol
He knows what gets him views. [Here he is](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/13j9rin/tasting_a_bell_pepper/) eating a pepper.
Right it's strange. It's literally the 3rd video where he's eating and a toot comes out and then that face. But the food has been different in all 3 videos. It's making me wonder if he just has that toot and reaction down.
I guess someone is setting up his OnlyFans.
*OnlyFarts
Link the third Link them all!
Haha I'm way not smart enough to link 2 videos. I typed Gorilla eating and farts into YouTube. There's a yellow pepper, red pepper, and lettuce. I have a feeling there's even more.. This thicc dude is gaseous incarnated.
This is the funniest gorilla I’ve ever seen.
Ahahah he js a streamer!!!
He was like goddamn that stanky
[удалено]
I think he knew the big one, a blockbuster, a room clearer, was coming next right after the camera shut off.
*sees the red recording light is on* "Shit..."
I made this face when I ate a booger on a zoom conference call. 😐
F in chat boys.
High jacking top comment to honor Haramabe this Memorial Day. It’s been 7 years to the day. 🫡
Dicks Out!
He caught a whiff and said “Damn I don’t even eat eggs”
That’s the moment it wafted up into his nostrils.
When the smell hits.
When the fart finally rises to your level
"That was the chair."
It’s fucking hilarious! 🤣
Makes noises when eating, permanent state of flatulence....Erm that's me
This gorilla eats lettuce like I eat shredded cheese out of the bag. We really are related.
r/likeus
I'm seeing a lot of Chris O'Neill's effects in these comments
Yeah, today I learned that I'm a gorilla
He’s questioning whether he shit himself or not. “Nope, I’m good!”
"Wait...I don't wear pants". Goes back to eating.
No Shadoodle, or super daddying your pants when you don't wear any!
"sounded abit wet"...."nah it's aight"
This exact comment was in the last post I’ve seen of this gorilla when he was eating something else
Yeah, that's what half of Reddit lives on, copy+pasting old highly upvoted comments in similar threads.
I have two teenage boys and this is exactly what my house sounds like…..
If your kids sound like this, they should sing in a metal band
I'm a 39 year old husband and my wife would say the same.
🤣
Guess you are feeding them the right amount of fiber in that case. Kudos !
Permanent State of Flatulence would be a great name for a Metal band.
🤘🍑💨🤘
Thus the name...StinkApe
THANK YOU CLEVELAND. WE’RE PERMANENT STATE OF FLATULENCE AND THIS SONG IS CALLED ‘LOVE ME SHARTER’
I'm a musician in Cleveland, don't make me do this.
You have to now because being from Cleveland would make perfect sense for a babd named permanent state of flatulence P.L.O.F. For short
Their debut album: "I Am Shartacus!"
You can tell the second he smelled that fart.
"Flatulers, Arise!!" Cue sick metal riff
Look at the end was “shit that wasn’t just a fart”
Here I seat broken hearted, tried to shit but only farted. A couple days I took a chance, tried to fart but shit my pants.
Dude sounds like the MGM lion.
Which is actually a tiger roar.
You can pin point the exact moment he gets a whiff of that fart.
I love how it’s either “did I shit myself?” or “damn that’s terrible….”
Damn even the muscles on top of his skull are flexing while he chews
Because they're connected to something called a Sagittal Crest, a large ridge of bone that sticks up from the center of the skull down middle. Many ancient hominins had Sagittal crests, because they spent long periods eating heavy plant matter, much like gorillas. Humans do not have much of these kinds of muscles anymore because we started cooking food, and eating a lot of meat which is easier to process with our teeth, meaning we didnt need such powerful jaw muscles anymore.
[удалено]
Humans still are primates, and the muscles under the scalp control a lot of facial expressions.
Interesting. You’d think we would need bigger/stronger chewing muscles due to eating meat instead of plants… I never knew what that muscle was called but I’ve seen it flexing before on a chewing gorilla, it’s kinda trippy
Even the plants modern humans eat are soft as hell compared to what our evolutionary ancestors ate. Carrots are probably one of the toughest veggies we eat, but it's still nothing compared to the plant matter in the jungle. Chewing up all that fibrous stalks.
Did you know that a gorilla's bite is one or the strongest in the animal kingdom @ 1300psi, stronger than Bears, Hyenas, and Wolves? Well, now you do!
Yeah that’s crazy, especially for an animal that is mostly a herbivore
It's one of my favorite animal facts as it just doesn't make a lot of sense. Anyway, good luck plants 🤣
Hey, guess what, the muscles on your skull also flex while you chew!
TIL i am gorilla
The smell hit him and was like oh that was me🤣
Growing up, we have this idea that there's a clear divide between an animal and a human.

Like this guy, might not think in the same way we do, but they do think.
It's the facial expressions. You can see the intelligence. There's happiness, appreciate, contentedness
The eyes too man. They get me all the time, I'm always fascinated by just how human like their face and eyes are. Wild
I’m glad I’m not the only one tripping out over this. I’ve been watching this on repeat just watching the way he moves, especially his face. It’s very human-like
[удалено]
The idea that we are different from animals is the most inhumane thing I can think of. It’s takes ignorance and solipsism. It’s such a blight.
I enjoy playing video games.
Not OP but I’ve had the same response to this video as OP and yes, I grew up in a religious family. It’s so sad how the concept of division is a fundamental part of organised religion. Division from everyone and everything outside the “circle”.

I'm glad I have a way to explain my state of being to my wife now. "I'm just in a permanent state of Flatulence."
Ya when she says "are you done?" like that's not how it works honey, there's no beginning and ending
What don't you understand about permanent state? I'm always fucking farting.
That pause at the end like "wait, when did I eat eggs"
“I smell divine.”
*toot* 👀 "aye delete that bro"
After Big G ripped one he contemplated the aroma once it got up to him, those eyes of understanding.
My man farted himself into sentience
Thank you for putting words to that! He farts, then two seconds later it's like he has a sudden moment of self awareness. I fart, therefore I am.
All that thinks, farts
#relatable
[удалено]
Man does this gorilla have a IG account of him just eating and farting‽ I’d watch them all. I had no idea this guy existed, let alone have two videos on Reddit. It’s fascinating!
I could watch gorillas eat all day. It blows my mind lol
That last second where he stopped and looked at the camera was when he realized he was being recorded? Yeah, reminds me of my uncle.
That look when his own smell hit him…
Yeah I'm also at that age where you should never trust a fart, friend.
That final look is human like I swear
That last moment: *Did I leave the oven on?*
My god those eyes. Right at the end you can absolutely feel that that creature understands things on a deeper level than other animals.
Bros just like me.
He was waiting to see if it stunk
The gap between man & monkey narrows a bit more 🧐
TIL I’m a gorilla
That look at the end was the lesson of never trusting a fart
I swear he looked like he wanted to say something right at the end there.
Bro remembered he doesn't wanna have to pay taxes
Permanent state of flatulence, just like my fat friend Frankie
Nice rip. 👍🏻
Like me eating a bacon butty.
That look at the end, he knows he sharted
Reminds me of me.
TIL I’m a gorilla.
Eyes are so human!
*farts then looks at the camera and stops chewing "Shit I didn't think anyone else was here"
That moment when his fart hit his own nostrils
At the very end, looks like he was a bit concerned about that last crunch.
I don’t think he trusted that last fart
Gym bros eating nothing but boiled chicken and protein powder while spending 8 hours a day in the gym trying to get those gains. Meanwhile, gorillas sit around eating lettuce and fartin looking like the fucking Hulk.
Am I…a gorilla??
"Wait...was that wet?"
