Bears and Rapists and People with Artillery Weapons

Agros urbe non clamaten


Breakdown

An interviewer goes from person to person asking "Is there anything scarier than being alone with your own thoughts?". The answer is "no" every time. Finally, a man who appears to be drunk and chewing something states very matter-of-factly: "Bears and rapists and people with artillery weapons".

The sheer confidence this man gives off, as well as the comparison between his answer and the previous ones, brings this joke together. You are not only laughing at the man and his somewhat ridiculous answer, but you're also laughing at those who answered the opposite. Because bears and rapists and artillery weapons are indeed, very scary compared to your own thoughts.
