  1. "If these men decided to go to therapy instead of thinking of fighting gorillas all day, what kind of world would we have today?" My favourite quote of the year so far, haha! Love it!

  2. the people arguing for the gorilla always assume the men are scared of charging a gorilla and so no one wants to fight the gorilla but somehow the gorilla has no fear running into a crowd of 100 humans…

  3. 100.humans would win of course, but it will be a battle of attrition. It will be quite difficult for a human to deal significant damage to a gorilla. But the gorilla will eventually be to exhausted to fight back. However good luck finding people who are willingly going to fight a gorilla.

  4. Should start with 20 men,,,,even 200 men you're still only using maby 10 at a time,,,,a gorilla possibly may just lay down and take it till either side exhaust out.

  5. Nope! My theory is the 🦍 would win because the men would eventually be fighting eachother to get away once they saw others getting hurt real bad.😊

  6. 100 are exaggerated, 50 overwhelmed, 30 got advantage, 20 enough to take down gorilla. Once his fang, and both arms are preoccupy like one person got bitten and still on his mouth, 3 person will tackle his left arm and 3 on right arm the rest will ride on his back to pinned him down. 1-2 might die and 5-10 might get seriously injured but still 20 enough specially if most of them are 6ft+ and 200lbs.

  7. At first I thought gorilla but the x factor you dont realize at first is that when humans kick and stomp they are combining all the muscles of their relatively enormous legs AND their glutes and hip muscles. Gorillas walk on their hands so cant block their faces. As soon as the gorilla lowers its head a bit its taking a full power soccer kick to the head.
