The State of Florida has become something of a meme over the last year thanks to its penchant for churning out some of the most unhinged and eccentric criminals imaginable. The Florida Men. The Legend of Florida Man has spread far and wide across the internet. From gator-tossing assailants to manatee-riding trespassers to sunburnt chainsaw swindlers the imagination of the Florida Men knows no bounds. Today I'll be telling the stories of some of the internet's most notorious Florida men from over the years. These are the Internet's Most Notorious Florida Men.

    As someone from Florida, I have plenty of Florida Man stories. One story is cops got a call about a break-in. Cops show up to the address and find a guy passed out in the doorway with drugs and a gun next to him. However, the cops got the house number wrong and went to the wrong house just to find the suspect of the original call at that house.

    Something about Florida. I visited for two weeks in 2004. I'm a Colorado guy with a lot of those stereotypes so Florida was like another planet. It was also the year the cicadas were chirping. I didn't know then but they were a 17 year cycle thing. I couldn't handle the sound. Certain human behaviors were unique too. Like on the highway, going over the speed limit. Guys in fast cars would tailgate us like we were going too slow. WTF.

That means that even in a situation where a cast member is being harassed/assaulted, they have to stay in character and if they don’t they can risk losing their job :(

    My biggest nightmare was in 2017, my iPhone 6 was experiencing constant “ghost touch” issues and I couldn’t afford a new phone. So, I ended up calling 911 four times in a row on accident… they showed up, I was pretty embarrassed because I didn’t even think my phone was on. They told me that it’s been happening at least a few times every hour to different people. Apple really should’ve gotten in more trouble for this. 23:08 this case brought back a core memory for me😂

    To be completely honest, I'd expect the same thing here in South Carolina - while Covid was starting to rear its ugly head, I pulled off 385 in my state South Carolina, and a similar group was holding up Trump signs, anti-gay signs, Covid isn't real signs, and Biden is the devil signs, on the bridge on the overpass of Haywood road in Greenville, SC. Members of that group clearly had a chromosomal issue and I felt sick knowing their lives were being blighted and limited by these hate-filled fuckwits. I wonder if they were the same group?

    A long time ago I did a deep dive into this "Florida Man" thing, and the reality is that Florida is no "weirder" than any other state. I know "weird" is subjective, but the reality is that Florida is more transparent with crime than any other state.. If I recall correctly they have a "crime/criminal transparency" law where criminals and their crimes are required to be reported in the local media .. Basically crimes need to be listed in the local paper, which is commonly referred to as a "police blotter" - so there is total transparency in Florida...

    That's because it has nothing to do with florida and everything to do with men period. There's no shortage of perverts or stupid violent criminals in any city. I've been dealing with these sick freaks since I was a child. It's honestly disturbing how many men are interested in kids and have no qualms about following a child or worse. I think it's unfair to call these cases Florida unless it has something to do with stereotypical florida things, like the dude who put an alligator in the restaurant would be a good example of a Florida man video. Most of these are just run of the mill perverts/criminals you would find in every city.

However, they probably had the police come backstage and took care of it there. There's an outside entrance with a bus stop right next to Ariel's Grotto, so it's pretty accessible from outside the park. I used to work right next to there and got in through that entrance.

Some people have boring jobs, some people like myself have relatively unique/interesting/specialized jobs, and then the police are in their own very special category of potentially getting themselves into literally any possible situation no matter how bizarre or unlikely. We must appreciate and respect them, and do our best to be more understanding and less judgmental, considering how insanely difficult such an occupation must be where you have absolutely no idea what might happen the next time you go into work and constantly have to be prepared to handle ANYTHING. There are plenty of difficult, challenging jobs; but that is next level.

    Amen! I really appreciate it too! Not all prisoners are bad people, most are actually very good people that either ended up in a s**t situation or grew up in a s**t situation. They lead the only life they’ve ever known and I hate how people judge about that. Plus I’m also bothered about how convicts serve their time and yet can barely make a life on the “good path” because everyone still judges them. In the US at least, once you do your time, you paid your debt to society. They are supposed to be able to live out their life and yet there are so very few places that will even offer a job to them. So no wonder they end up back in prison, they have no way to make money for suitable living and so they have to go back to crime 😑🙁. Anyways sorry for the rant and thank you for making your comment!

    You mean men? Because there wasn't one woman in this video. And yes, it happens constantly. Tons of dudes are getting out on bond when they have murder charges ffs. And I guarantee the guy who did that sht to Olaf is going to do something worse in the future, I just hope it's towards an adult who can defend themselves and not a child.

    Florida man makes me proud..... to be from Missouri. Im kidding.....I'm sure if any of us looked locally, we'd find a version of him everywhere in the world, especially in todays times. I Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas or whatever you may celebrate, and I wish you safety and great times if you plan to celebrate New Years. Remember, it's amateur night, 20 years ago, I was that amateur, charged and judged with a DUI. I learned that drinking and driving impaired even though i caused no accidents and was doing ok until I was caught, cost me a small fortune, and brought hardship upon myself that I could have totally avoided had i not started the engine. I lost my license and my job, to return to the line of work i was in was not happening due to the blemished record and my having to drive being themajority of the work i was involved in doing. Having to find work where i could carpool or use public transportation also put me to working jobs that paid less and having to depend on others to get to work put me in predicaments that would never have been necessary had i just chosen to not drive. I no longer drink unless Mtn Dew or Dr Pepper count. That said, I know first hand what can happen and the cost it brings when one gets popped. Set up a designated driver, hire an Uber or Taxi, party in place, you'll wake up right where you passed out with only a hangover at worst. Dont risk lives or your livelyhood in an effort to have a good time. Even if you are sober, you are at a higher risk of being involved in a drunk driver involved accident on the roads on new years eve night from midnight to 3AM, than any other time of the year in the USA. Also, you have more risk of being pulled over or caught in a DUI checkpoint than any other time of the year as well. This goes to Wavy and all who might read this post, I wish you all a Happy New Year and better times in 2024. ✌️ Peace.

    Nah, I'm good. Besides I drive so much better while I'm drunk then when I'm sober it's actually unreal. I've had friends comment on it saying I reminded them of Dominic Toretto.

    @@Temulon just remember it's amateur night and some will use this as their first attempt at driving while intoxicated, wont make it to their destinations. Some won't be as alert and steady at handling the wheel as othwrs who have managed to get to their destination in the past, who think they are good at driving under the influence, based on their also alcohol influenced passengers who told them they were. I too had your attitude at one point, and I was was good too, that is, until I wasn't.

    Missouri is Water People country-apparently much crazier than Florida Men, but not as well documented.
