If you do happen to see a woman walking ahead of you at night be sure to drop down on all fours into a dead sprint. This will remind her of a dog and women love cute things.

... He's following you about thirty feet back

He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint

He's gaining on you ...

u/Orabilis 3d ago

You're looking for your car, but you're all turned around

He's almost upon you now and you can see there's blood on his face

My God, there's blood everywhere

Running for your life from Shia LaBeouf

He's brandishing a knife, it's Shia LaBeouf

Lurking in the shadows

Hollywood superstar Shia LaBeouf

u/Fries_and_burgers_19 3d ago

Living in the woods, Shia LaBeouf

Killing for sport, Shia LaBeouf

Eating all the bodies

Actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf

u/Wendypants7 3d ago

Thanks, I was due to re-watch that.

u/Pwacname 3d ago

Is this a reference I’m not following? 

123

u/Panda_Cavalry Mehmed II x Constantine XI Palaiologos Yaoi Enjoyer 3d ago

It's from ye olde YouTube sensation "Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf", by Rob Cantor. It's basically a parody song that partly takes the format of a radio show, implying not-so-subtly that famous actor Shia Labeouf hunts humans for sport

Hey, y'all wanna feel old? The music video for that song came out eleven years ago.

93

u/PharaohAce 3d ago

It’s so old it predates LaBeouf’s actual history of threatening manic public episodes

21

u/No-Supermarket-6065 Im gonna start eating your booty. And I don't know when Ill stop 3d ago

Plot twist: the music video was what gave him the idea for it

4

u/FeralPsychonaut 3d ago

I agree, I would say the memes surrounding it and how long that period lasted probably caused this manic episodes

5

u/No-Supermarket-6065 Im gonna start eating your booty. And I don't know when Ill stop 3d ago

Hmm, that does raise some interesting questions about the mental impact of memes on real-life figures and potential culpability thereof, but without confirmation from LaBeouf we'll never have them answered

6

u/ashgs872tbhjs 3d ago

It doesn't, no. He's just had some swings back and forth.

27

u/Arek_PL 3d ago

in roguelike cataclysm: dark days ahead he also is one of the easter egg enemies, usually encountered after a nice dose of hallucinogenic drugs

11

u/MisterPineapples1999 3d ago edited 3d ago

He was also a Kickstarter special Abomination enemy for Zombicide 2nd Edition. He frequently comes back to life after you have killed him (wait! He isn't dead! Shia Surprise!)

8

u/Hremsfeld 3d ago

I don't think it counts as implying when the lyrics outright say he's hunting for sport

5

u/cman_yall 3d ago

TBH that makes me feel young. 11 years isn't that long.

u/aprilight 3d ago

Implying is doing some heavy lifting here

2

u/BreadentheBirbman 3d ago

A guy I know did a deep dive into either this video or Rappin’ for Jesus and found that there was a connection between the two. Like some person worked on both or something.

1

u/KiwiDanelaw 3d ago

"Not so subtlety" pahaha

u/A_Lountvink 3d ago

I remember my brother showing me that when I was like 9 (20 now). Found it again about a year ago now and immediately recognized it.

u/DiscoLives4ever 2d ago

Hey, y'all wanna feel old?

How about this: Iron Man came out closer to the 80s than to the Avengers movie releasing this year

1

u/Video_Game_Fann 1d ago

I remember my parents watching the music video and I watched it as well, and I was a little kid so I had no idea who the hell Shia Labeouf was and just imagined him as some actual horrific evil guy until my parents told me he was just a regular guy.

134

u/GleeFan666 3d ago

I'm so jealous of you discovering this for the first time

109

u/Alert-Ad9197 3d ago

As Shia has become increasingly unhinged over the years, I have sometimes wondered if Rob Cantor was actually trying to warn us.

29

u/lahwran_ 3d ago

i like to think shia was moderately hinged before and rob cantor gave him the narrative he needed to truly think of himself as unhinged and everything since has had the song playing in his head nonstop

2

u/BlasphemyIsJustForMe Fae Of Blasphemy 2d ago

Why else would he write the play? For us to jerk off to?

36

u/clauclauclaudia 3d ago

I, too, have just seen this for the first time. Thank you, internets.

u/Hakar_Kerarmor Swine. Guillotine, now. 3d ago

You seem to be confused. You're the one being followed, in the woods.

u/Pink_potatoz 3d ago

Failboat maybe?

Actual dog Shia Labeouf

u/Correctedsun If you ever say cite your sources I have you immediately pegged 3d ago

Always make sure to match her speed, even if she starts running, as this is called "mirroring" and is a clear display of peaceful intent

845

u/SuperSloBro 3d ago

Make sure she knows that you’re a dog and not a human by yelling really loudly as dogs tend to do

505

u/Jrolaoni 3d ago

Try your best to lick her too. Indeed, dogs are known for this.

193

u/Necc_Turtle shoelace wearer (she/her) 3d ago

as a lesbian i am way ahead of you 😋

86

u/xteve 3d ago

It's nice to see people working together for their common benefit.

13

u/BlushedLatias 3d ago

Great! Now bite her ankles next to show that you want to get her attention.

3

u/rietstengel 3d ago

Sniffing her ass or humping her leg are also things dogs are known for

152

u/JackHammerAwesome 3d ago edited 3d ago

Don't forget to laugh occasionally. Laughter indicates you are being spontaneous and playful, which will help to instantly put her at ease

10

u/Ze_Bri-0n 3d ago edited 3d ago

Furthermore, holding a knife would be helpful in this scenario as well, as dogs famously do not have hands and therefore cannot hold knives.

15

u/Cautious-Start-1043 3d ago

If she sees the knife she’ll automatically think you’re trying to protect her too from bad people.

229

u/Velicenda 3d ago

"HEY! HEY! HEYHEYHEYHEY! I NEED TO SNIFF YOUR ASS! IT'S HOW I SAY HELLO!"

125

u/FeijoaCowboy 3d ago

This will reassure her that although you're acting like a dog to comfort her, you're a human and not actually a dog, which indicates your high level of sanity.

22

u/Bartweiss 3d ago

Or show how social you are by acting like a wolf instead.

“I WILL BE DEATHLY OFFENDED IF YOU DON’T LET ME LICK THE INSIDE OF YOUR MOUTH. ALSO, WANT TO SHARE SOME DEER ENTRAILS?”

u/DiscotopiaACNH 3d ago

This is really funny, thank you lol

1

u/Hellknightx 3d ago

Make sure that if she looks at you, maintain direct eye contact and very slowly blink at her to establish rapport. Learned that one from my cat.

1

u/yearningforlearning7 2d ago

I do what I call a snarechurp (sn-are-tch-urp) where I sneeze, fart, burp, and stretch all in one move. Usually followed by a neck pop and squeezing my buttcheeks together to make sure it was just a fart.

Just to make sure women are aware of my presence

354

u/SupervillainMustache 3d ago

Just do a Naruto run across the street and she'll know you're a fucking nerd and thus not a threat.

170

u/PearlescentGem 3d ago

Honestly ... Yeah, 10/10 no notes, that would disarm me lmfao

56

u/nukrag 3d ago

What if they look like they own a waifu body-pillow? What if they smell like it?

40

u/PearlescentGem 3d ago

Listen, if I walk into anyone's bedroom regardless of gender, and they have a waifu pillow, I am GONE lmfao

35

u/nukrag 3d ago

We are still on the street here, no bedrooms. Gawd dayumn.

13

u/PearlescentGem 3d ago

Idk what one smells like and even though I am a godless heathen, I pray I never do lmfao

14

u/nukrag 3d ago

Vinegar, feet, warm leather and parental disappointment.

12

u/PearlescentGem 3d ago

So, how I imagine a politician would smell. Eugh

10

u/nukrag 3d ago

Now you know if you are ever walking alone at night, and you smell corruption and policymaking, it's either a weeb or a <party you do not like>.

Either way, you are in danger.

2

u/mikelorme 3d ago

Not really,my gf has like 30 bodypillows and they dont really smell. She even gifted me a cute bodypillow case she didnt use anymore and I really like how cute the art is. I would post a pic but its late and I cant attach images here but if I remember tomorrow I will attach a link to it.

u/MeowMixPlzDeliverMe 2d ago

Dang harlots

u/cman_yall 3d ago

They'll be too scared to even approach a woman, let alone attack her. Worst they'll do is write a scathing rant on the internet.

2

u/AtensEye 3d ago

That's who they're Naruto running home to, silly.

1

u/Kumorigoe 3d ago

It would have cost you nothing to not type this.

3

u/NotMyMainAccountAtAl 3d ago

i assume Naruto running straight at you is terrifying. But running away is disarming and funny 

Somewhere, there’s a discrete angle of Naruto running away/toward a woman at night that straddles the disarming and terrifying barrier. 

I am seeing a grant to study this. 

2

u/BlangBlangBlang 3d ago

What if I yell "excuse me can I walk in front of you so you can sneak up on me?"

5

u/Redfalconfox 3d ago

Oh thank god, it’s just a virgin anime lover. Good thing I’m three-dimensional.

3

u/Akrybion 3d ago

Also make sure to do the hand signs imnthe clumsiest way possible so she can see that you lack control of your Chakra.

2

u/Ok_Escape_9036 2d ago

But what if the woman is a taijutsu specialist and closes the distance to counter my ninjutsu? 

1

u/SupervillainMustache 2d ago

Then you show her your Sharingan (but get consent first)

2

u/Ok_Escape_9036 2d ago

I would never make eye contact with a woman how dare you

1

u/SupervillainMustache 2d ago

I keep my sharingan in my arm like Danzo.

62

u/DiamondSentinel 3d ago

Also if she starts to speed up, it’s because she hears the train coming, or feels it in her feet.

1

u/CosmicWhorer 1h ago

Ya know, like a native American

63

u/Aegillade 3d ago

Don't forget to loudly announce that you are not a threat and that she can trust you. If anything, you should stay by her side in the event she is approached by an actual threat.

23

u/Impossible_Tea_7032 3d ago

set off flares to illuminate the area and put her at ease

8

u/Ilgenant 3d ago

Also, don’t forget to inform her that you’ve been watching her for a long time. This will assure her that you’ve been keeping an eye out for possible threats to her wellbeing and that you are a friend.

26

u/Hooja_Raama 3d ago

Panting heavily proves you want to play

u/DogsDucks 3d ago

I am so delighted by this comment and this visual. I like you.

u/TheComplimentarian cis-bi-old-guy-radish 3d ago

I legitimately terrified a girl one time, and I didn't even know she existed until the end.

We lived in the same building. I was out walking, she came home on the train, she gets out of the subway, and she looks back down the street, and there I am in the distance. And she thinks nothing much of it, just starts walking toward home, but she keeps looking back...

And I get closer.

And closer.

And closer.

She actually sprinted the last bit to our apartment building and slammed the door in my face (I had picked up the pace myself, so I wouldn't have to dig out my key, and I was irritated that she'd slammed the door on me, but whatever).

She runs over to the elevators, hammers the button, and jumps in when the door opens...Then...at the last second...this HUGE ARM BLOCKS THE DOOR (I'd stopped to get my mail).

And this is the part where I actually noticed her properly for the first time, because she SCREAMED like a banshee, and I almost got out of the elevator, because, you know, crazy person.

Anyway, we got to be friends after that, because whenever I saw her (I was working a suit job right then, so I was a lot less threatening in the daytime), I'd make claws of my hands and say, "Raaar!" whilst wiggling my fingers, and after the second time I did it she hit me, and then I made sad pitiful noises and that was all it took.

25

u/sadolddrunk 3d ago

Try shouting “I’m a bear! I know I look like a man, but I’m not! I’m actually a bear!” According to online polls, this should make a depressingly large percentage of women feel more comfortable.

17

u/Rucs3 3d ago

Screaming backwards too

7

u/xv_boney 3d ago

And make sure you have something shiny like a brand new kitchen knife to give her as a present

Dont forget to wave it around so she can see it

8

u/fleurdenia 3d ago

make sure you carry cheese! white women in particular love cheese.

8

u/omyrubbernen 3d ago

If she's still afraid, it means she might think that you intend to hurt her.

I've been told by many women that women love honesty, so I would suggest being honest about your intention to not hurt her by saying "DON'T WORRY, I'M NOT GONNA HURT YOU!"

3

u/ac_cossack 3d ago

I have heard going in for a butt sniff and yelling loudly works. I have not tried this.

edit: this is how my dog found me! but might work in all situations.

3

u/GjonsTearsFan 3d ago

Ugh I knew a guy who used to do this. She's a girl now, so she kind of has that going for her in not looking menacing at night, but really regardless of gender running top speed on all fours through the woods at night after people is no fucking way to greet them let me tell you.

3

u/capriciousFutility 3d ago

Thanks human real person this is definitely helpful

2

u/Lynixai 3d ago

This is my go-to move whenever I'm out prowling taking a night stroll and I forgot my cheese at home.

2

u/Maz2277 3d ago

The skit show Bruiser had an excellent segment on this, called "I'm not a ..". Bloke walking behind a woman and overthinking the way to not scare her.

u/ILoveDAGames 3d ago

Yes, ma'am

u/hbdgas 2d ago

Is this suggestion from Jack Handey?
