Old Person Mishap Showdown....Who Ya Got?
VS.
Vs.
God I love old people. I just hope I never become one of them. But I don’t want to die either so I’m not sure how that’s going to reconcile those two things. Anyway the first video that caught my attention was the old man who fell up the escalator. It just struck me as hilarious so I tried to find a couple other good old people videos to compare it to. Surprisingly there isn’t a ton of old people mishaps on the web. Probably because old people don’t know how to use the Internet yet. Regardless, based on my minimal research I think these are just about the top three old people videos out there. My favorite is still the escalator guy because it just seems so impossible to fall up an escalator. It’s a once in a life time type of occurrence. The other two videos are pretty standard fare in terms of old people mishaps. You got grandpa taking a digger trying to race his grandson which I’m guessing happens at least 75% of the time in these situations. And I’m also thinking 95% of old people fights end with a guy knocking himself out trying to throw a punch. Cleary the best thing to do when your old and in a fight is just let the other guy punch himself out. So the winner has to be the escalator guy just on the rarity of the situation.
