Scare Tactics

[neanderpaul14]

Anyone seen this?? I don't watch it however I have seen it once or twice. I keep waiting to hear about this show on the news when they one day play one of their little pranks on someone who happens to be packing a Glock and decides to open fire in self defense.

It won't happen because just like every other reality show on television, it's completely faked and staged. There is no such thing as "reality television".

Dude, remember that show Cheaters? It was the best. It was just as repetitive as To Catch a Predator but also more addicting.

The show got canceled cause the host got like, stabbed, and another guy got shot. If that was staged, I'd be really surprised. They would have had to stage the hospital stays and lawsuits, too.

Also, is Scare Tactics the one with Tracy Morgan? I kind of like it, but too many of the guests are total pansies. Before Tracy started hosting, probably in the show's first iteration years ago, I remember seeing one prank where the guy picked up a two-by-four and started swinging it at the escaped lunatic or whatever it was that supposed to scare him. I liked that guy. They had to have security come out and convince him for like 5 minutes that it was all fake before he would back down and drop the board.

I bet they tend to screen people to make sure they won't get violent. I think I might if I didn't start laughing about it all. If I sincerely felt scared for my life, I wouldn't go down without a fight. And I mean a fight where I wouldn't hold anything back. They probably don't want guys like me on the show and I'm sure do a psychological screening to make sure that A) they won't fight back and B) are easily scared/duped.

But yeah, some of the pranks are great, especially when you see that dawning awareness of danger in the faces of the victims (guests).

I too would not go down without a fight. One of the episodes I saw they picked up a hitchhicker, who wound up riding shotgun, the person being pranked was in the backseat. While the villain was out of the car the driver, who was in on the joke, looked in the villains bag and found a severed head, at which point the bad guy returned and began threatening the driver with a knife. At which point the little pussy in the back seat began screaming like a little girl and begging. If this were me that guy would either have got a full power roundhouse right in the temple, or one nasty ass sleeper hold. I guess the producers of the show wouldn't want me on there either.

Have you ever killed or severely crippled anyone before?

And/or have you ever physically fought with anyone armed with more than their fists and feet (martial arts excluded)?

Well, I don't know about all that...

I'm not sure I'd really be able to put that much conscious thought into it. I just think I know myself well enough that I can say I would flip out. That is, if I was cornered (and they always seem to be on that show). If it was possible to run away, you'd see me going Carl Lewis all on up out of that scene.

It's foolish to imagine yourself as Walker Texas Ranger.

Over the internet, it's easier to act tough.
But making the assumption at least some don't know what intestines smell like, or could not explain in detail the most effective way to cut a throat (quietly) is just as foolish.

Neanderpaul has a good point about the roundhouse. If the asshole is in the front seat, you have the advantage. If the car is parked then there is little he can do to get you killed if he sticks the driver.

It sucks to be the driver.

That was my point exactly. If I was in the backseat of a car, yes it was parked, and someone began threatening my friend with a knife I would not sit idly by and wait for him to be stabbed, punching someone in the side of the head from the backseat, or getting them in a choke hold, while they're in the front seat doesn't exactly require martial arts training. And I have jumped in to fights before to help out a buddy, it's what friends are supposed to do.

I must admit, I would tend to agree with that. I hadn't heard about any of that stuff. Fascinating, actually.
