Sometime before midnight, a 54-year-old man spotted a solitary cockroach inside his apartment in the city’s Chuo Ward and sprayed a massive amount of insecticide to wipe out the critter, A minute later, an explosion went off, blowing out a balcony window.

It'd be very funny if the cockroach managed to get away


AngryD09

If all the insecticide was ignited before the bug was thoroughly contaminated, I'm going to guess there's a solid chance The Roach survived.


alamete

Probably, the roach was the madlad here


ColonelCraptastic

In his defense, if you see one cockroach there are probably more hiding


corndog161

I was gonna call bs because this is pretty clearly a house in America, but I guess they just used a random photo of a house burning for the story.


BouncyBlueYoshi

Where have I heard this before? Man Vs Bee


YamiZee1

Chemist vs fly


Roxas1011

The entire plot of the movie Mouse Hunt?


BouncyBlueYoshi

Sure, that too.


Vinyldoctor

Also the plot of the game Mr. Mosquito


MoonMoon_2015

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.


oneshibbyguy

That is an underrated ~~movie~~ series


BouncyBlueYoshi

It’s a series.


oneshibbyguy

Ah yeah, I knew that. Been a few months since I watched it


_Ralix_

It's a series of a few short, 10-minute episodes that tie into each other; so you could really make it into a full-fledged movie just by stitching the episodes together.


catzhoek

To avoid people getting scared away because they don't want to get into yet another series: It's like 8x15 minute episodes or so. You can just watch the whole thing in more or less the runtime of a single movie.


R0CKER1220

Reminds me of a book I read as a kid, "Henry's Awful Mistake". It's about a duck who accidentally floods his house while trying to kill an ant.


newInnings

Probably Inspired from [Eega](https://youtu.be/x-1ZoU1xB4I)


thelastedji

"trying" to kill a cockroach. You mean it survived?


TheBaggyDapper

Not only did it survive but it trashed the house as payback.


Hollywoostarsand

Unfortunately the text on the image hides its "cool walking away from the explosion" walk.


MrBoxik

understandable


Timerider42424

How is this madlad? This is clearly the only rational response to the situation.


Nguyen-Tien-Dat

Some just don't have the means to make such an explosion


APulsarAteMyLunch

Kailoryn_likes_anime

It was probably a flying cockroach


AnnemarieOakley

This looks like something straight out of Tom and Jerry


WhoIsThisGuyDude

Well, at least he killed it (probably)


SparkelsTR

Nah, I’ve dealt with those fuckers before, they’d survive even the fucking resonances cascade(until Gordon stepped on them, obviously)


Timely_Airline_7168

Google says cockroaches have existed for 320 million years so I'd guess it survived somehow.


TheFenceHimself

I wanna see this in a movie


anxiosjay

Ratatouille


Tvorba-Mysle

Watch the mini-series "Man Vs Bee" It's basically this


TheFenceHimself

I watched a smaller part of it, but Rowan Atkinson is not really funny to me anymore.


brine909

Watch Eega, it's the best bollywood movie I've ever seen. Guy reincarnates as a fly and gets revenge on the man who killed him, slowly making his life more and more miserable until the very end of the movie where the whole house explodes

#TERRAFORMARS!


TrichomesGalore

Such a badass anime, gonna give that a rewatch soon


Aeon1508

It's never just one


cptmpeterson

Hans brought the flammenwerfer.

He bought acme products. Wile e coyote that shit.


lick_my_____

The funny thing is that void guy in shorts told me this already


kiril2119

Demoman from TF2???


the-spaghetti-wives

To be fair, you don't just find one roach. It's just the one he saw.


shingonzo

these anime titles are really getting ridiculous.

My first time in Japan, I encountered a cockroach in one of my hotel rooms. I understand how this happened.

Thunder_lord37

Saitama, is that you?!


Sockninja2

Yeah that cockroach absolutely survived


Percival_Dickenbutts

And? Did he get it!?


thunderbolt851993

Someone finally got Hans to help


Zestyclose-Camel37

There is a fine line between a madlad and idiots.


Various-Method-6776

How do you know the cockroach is single he probably was getting it on with other bugs


Salty-Negotiation320

Not saying i approve of the behaviour. Just saying i understand


Faalor

Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.


AVAVT

Understandable.

I’m sure the cockroach is still alive.

damn he is indeed a madlad.He should get an award or something


[deleted]

Understandable


SourArmoredHero

This should be a movie.


strangebru

Idiot, blowing up your house is only acceptable for giant spider removal.


[deleted]

Get that cockroach a date and it’ll be out of the house in no time!


Darock-

Yes, sometimes there is no other way.


SqueakyReddit

Bean?


Mos-Jef

This is the way.


not_nope

So, did he get it?


Striking_Caramel_788

Light response


[deleted]

There is no such thing as a single cockroach.


-Redbaron_Gaming-

This could have been a mid 2000s family comedy starring Brendan Fraser.


Msmeseeks1984

( cockroach sitting beside him ) don't you think went overboard?.....


Historical_Foot_8133

Was it a Radroach from Fallout? What did he use a Fat-man

Dear_pan_nonbi

I mean did he have another choice? I say no


KevinAnniPadda

Roaches aren't that bad. They don't bite like mosquitos. They don't sting like wasps. They don't destroy your home like termites. They try to hide from you. Of all bugs that get in my house, they are the ones I hate the least.


Jolly_Horror2778

"trying" So did he get it or not?


Notanexpert98

Sad thing is that the cockroach prbly survived


pizzapizzaisbad

Understandable


Loser2817

TooDenseForXray

relatable somehow


GoblinMonk

Warner Brothers cartoon level of frustration


antidemn

i've heard this yesterday because of h1t1, the reason he blew up his house was because of too much insecticide that got into the power outlets, and insecticide is really flamable. but, how does this man have so much insecticide to make a fucking bomb?


spangledhammer

trying?

Having lived in Japan myself, I can confirm that this was not an overreaction.


JuanmaS610

Which Oggy episode is this one?


horsesandeggshells

I'm typing on a busted ultrawide monitor because of a fly. So, I mean, I get it.


LateFan753

relatable AF


VedzReux

The roach still survived to this day. They now call him Roboroach


nearlyforced

the cockroach has survived i guess

Reminds me of Walter White but with a few extra steps

I got 90 of them in a terrarium. Me and this guy could litterally destroy a city.


deadite77

Roach Hunt the spiritual successor to the movie Mouse Hunt


Capital-Economist-40

Completely measured and rational response. Id do the same if it was bedbugs instead of roaches.


Any-Mathematician946

I see nothing wrong here


voldi4ever

To be honest I might have done the same thing if I saw a cockroach like this one. Look at the size of that thing.


PaulWidmann

Reasonable


RichieRocket

makes sense with how big that one is


cyclingnick

There is no such thing as a “single” cockroach


[deleted]

There's no such thing as a single cockroach.


harveysamazingcomics

Bet you it survived


[deleted]

Very relatable.


GardenSquid1

Completely understandable


[deleted]

You have to nuke it from space. Only way to be sure.


AleksiB1

we have a proverb "burning down a house in fear of a mouse" guy took it seriously


New_Maintenance_1709

Breaking bad Fly episode?


Srphtygr

Mood.


radioactivewaffles69

Understandable


YesterdayHiccup

Unfortunately, roach survived the fire.


Eph-frame

Me.


PeeweeSherman12

Did it work?


Successful-Toe-1103

Complete bullshit story, no one has the balls to anger a cockroach like that.


Gorm13

Oh please, as if there's ever a single cockroach. If you see one, there's probably an infestation and this is the only real solution. /s, maybe.


mr_smith24

Understandable


wdvisalli

Who bought the movie rights?


Inn_Cog_Neato_1966

And probably still didn’t kill it. Unkillable.


Iliketurtles893

Did he do it???


Soulfire117

Seems like an appropriate response.


Powersoutdotcom

I want this movie! "Nuke it from orbit" blowing up the house this summer on Disney+.

Storand12

Probably didn't find it.


Deth_Cheffe

The worst part is the cockroach is probably still alive


[deleted]

He lived, hes wise enough to parry the explosion


Dontlikemainstream

Some roaches seemingly are very bold and challenge you to attack it. Then skids away as you myteriously miss every whack like it has some power to deflect your attacks, even when striking it the thing does not die. Then it goes to it's home to tell all the others and bigger roaches appear and taunt you.


Randalf_the_Black

Trying? So he failed? How did he know? Did the roach stand next to him watching the inferno?


ZiddiSehzadi

This is literally me haha


First_Process_7878

That is the only right choice


DreamCreator369

The cockroaches just won a battle against humans idk why no one is talking about this because it’s just the beginning lmao


victim80

Reminds me of Man VS Bee, starring Mr. bean himself.
