According to Esquire magazine an authentic Florida Man incident should involve some, if not all, of the following: boneheaded criminal schemes, an outrageous disregard for common decency, unconventional encounters with police, nunchucks, public and/or outlandish sex acts, alligators and/or other reptiles, large-scale robberies of undesirable goods, Tasers, bizarre supernatural beliefs, and of course, rampant drug use.
So with that in mind, here’s some of the best we’ve seen so far:
- Florida man arrested for throwing pizza at father after finding out his dad helped birth him
- Florida man puts dragon lizard in his mouth, smacks people with it
- Drunk, machete-wielding florida man chases neighbor on lawnmower
- Florida man wearing crocs breaks into crocodile enclosure, gets bitten in the foot
- Neighbours complain about Florida man doing yard work naked, police say it is legal
- Florida man drunkenly called 911 to report his wife is a ‘black widow spider’
- Florida man arrested after chasing down neighbour with tractor
- Florida man attacked during selfie with squirrel
- Florida man arrested for throwing alligator through drive-thru window
- Irma: Gun owners in Florida plan to ‘shoot down’ hurricane
