As many of you know, I’ve recently returned to watching television now that the new place automatically includes cable. So, like, the other day, I’m channel surfing, right? Well, I randomly stumble upon a show called Scare Tactics on the Sci-Fi channel. Have you seen this show before? It’s a hidden-video comedy show where people set people up and scare them. “Candid Camera” meets “Scream”. It’s hilarious … well, at least the particular episode that I saw was!!! Here’s the set up: a lab assistant gets tricked into thinking that there is a 1/2 human 1/2 rat mutant on the loose in the lab. It sounds completely unbelievable but, if you watch the backstory part of the video on YouTube, it’s more credible than it sounds. Anyway, watch the video below to see what happens when the lab guy finally discovers the “mutant”. And, don’t worry … this YouTube video isn’t like the last one. This time, the video scares the unwitting contestant, not the viewer. Watch it. It’s short, funny, and definitely worth the laugh.

I get to be first again! (Apparently I’m on east coast time…
I hope I’m never a victim – it was funny to watch, but I would of had to change my britches on that one.
Cheers!
i know i was kind o’ gone these past weeks, but i’m back now and had to catch up – hilarious as always (the man who licked your arm… too funny) :)
as for the youtube thing: man, i’d hate to be that guy. i mean, funny to watch, but imagine you thought some mutant rat was after your knickers. jeez…
got me laughing though ;) gotta love youtube
hope all’s well in your new apartment!
I saw this a couple of months back and yes it’s pretty hilarious. Youtube has some pretty cool random stuff on it!
By the way, Entourage? Season 3 is over! Waiting on the new stuff to come out. Sigh…I hate being hooked like this!
OMG, when I first saw this video, I almost wet myself. “Do you need help, little man?…” Ahahaha! I sent it to my dad and little sister, and they both called me laughing so hard, they were doing the “Silent Laugh.” Doesn’t get much better than that!
Thanks for the laugh AND the memory. :o)
E: Man, I laugh so hard that I cry every time that I see this clip.
Firefly: Yeah, everything is pretty much moved in. The only thing that still needs to be set up in the new place is the internet. I check my email accounts once every blue moon, and I haven’t been on others’ blogs in ages. I can’t wait until it’s all set up. I can’t believe how much of my communication depends on internet … email, evites, etc. I feel cut off from the world a bit.
Darwin: I *KNOW*!!! I can’t wait until they release more stuff on DVD. I love that show so much that I watched all of the available episodes. And, now I’m stuck waiting for more.
AmyD: I saw on it TV before I saw it on YouTube. I was just flipping the channels. And, I almost fell off of the couch I was laughing so hard. I couldn’t breathe and my stomach started to hurt. I think it’s HILARIOUS!!
That clip was funny…
Is that guy fruti or what!!!
Been away… hence the lack of comment from this part of the world..
Did you know that Google bought Utube for something like 70 Million Dollars plus!!!
Thank you for posting that…it was hilarious. Though the spit warning should be in affect: No drinking, eating, or needing to go to the bathroom before watching this clip!!!
Momok: WELCOME BACK!! :)
History Chic: It honestly one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while
scare tactics is soooo lame, i feel sorry for the people the grab, this is not really a fun way to get messed with, ALTHOOOOOOOO this video is definately one of the exceptions hahaha

Yeah, I’m late to the game because this was totally new to me. :)
