HELP I'M BEING CHASED BY A TURKEY...

[brake851]

[Turkeyhunter1996]

The noise he is making is a "Fighting Purr", which means he is wanting to fight.

[AOProductions1000]

LOL Thumbs up if you have a pet Turkey!

[justawanderer2]

It's funny how similar this video is to the one I shot a few years ago, in the behavior of the turkey towards the end of the video. Just watch both videos all the way through and you will see what I mean. I guess it's their natural instinct. Just look to the right side for the video, "Turkey Chases Man, Ready to Attack."

[btrutle111]

What a dumbass.

911: Attacked by what? ma'am, ma'am just calm down for me.

Reporter: YOU CALM DOWN-I CAN'T, I'M SHAKING...

911: What is it ma'am? A bear? A cougar? A wolf?

Reporter: A TURKEY!!!!

911: ...................

[MrFranciscoFidalgo]

What's so scary about a turkey running towards you ?

[curbshoppin]

@MrFranciscoFidalgo they will peck you they will try to kick you with there spur claws.....i never seen one do much harm but they will frighten people who dont know enough to give them a swift kick..you dont hurt them just rough them up a little..some will keep on being peske even after a couple kicks.....then you shoot em for supper

[earthglamgrunge]

I love how a video of a turkey has comments about Osama Bin Laden.

[Metexie]

I hope they put out an APB for that, clear threat to the community.

[mafuuba]

He just wants to fuck ya.......geez

[Maagia44]

Koniec tych angielskich tekstów, tu Polska !!

[dodgecityhero1]

Forget a pitbull, I'm buying a turkey to guard my property LOL.

[temporarylobotomy]

I'd behave this way too if someone had named me Terrible Tom. :(

[YamiEmii]

At 2:00 this becomes a horror film.

"Where is he...?"

*turkey pops head up at the front of the car*

[EvilOdin88]

What a pathetic coward.

[TheJames7able]

"well i would not want to be the people living here, thank you very much" hahaha typical american!

[smitty5332]

And for the rest of her life she was doomed to eat only ham at thanksgiving.

[Barbie52081]

If I were that reporter I would have kicked that turkey square in the face!

[sque1eze]

So this is a female specimen (I mean the reporter) of the people that has the strongest military clout on the planet, who kicked the Nazis out of western Europe (for which I praise them highly) and who caught and (rightly) killed Bin Laden. Miss Reporter, do your country proud and show some guts. It's a turkey, not a pitbull terrier!. Happy New Year and leave the suburbs for a change!.Study our innocent fellow-beings on the planet: animals..

[TheJacko177]

Play black eyed pump it over this and then enjoy. :)

[Irishcarbomb82]

I'm sorry but I was LMAO. I've dealt with turkeys before, they'll chase you but can't really hurt you

[jaydeath42]

its like the movie "thankskilling" lol

[JVisser1990]

[johnnyex]

I would love to meet this turkey; I have a lot of respect for it.

[kangaroojonathan]

RIP TOM. lol

[AndreSouljaBoy]

Turkey is all like : YOU ATE MY COUSINS NOW YOU MUST PAY!

[Bunny50000]

love the moment when she thinks she safe after the truck... then like a gobbly Voorhes it reappears.

[superfieryphoenix]

I looked this up because i heard about it on This American Life

[Sparkythedog2008]

@superfieryphoenix Haha so did I!

[MrHenrySan]

1:19 - 1:22 Yes, the wild turkey is known for playing with it's prey before maiming them with their razor sharp beaks...

[dookiee0000001]

This American Life story on Tom was seriously one of the funniest things I heard all year.

[chupetcheca]

Completely retarded woman.

[jamesy5466]

hahahaha!!! In her defense, turkeys are a lot stronger and nastier than most people realize.

[MultiFortunatus]

Like a horror movie.

[gamesss6]

Somebody watches a little too much doctor who...

[SniperM90X]

[KiwiLovin7]

I would've loved it if as soon as she got in her car, he would've opened the door and started pecking at her.

[brianmcgroarty]

Damn it, even Nedry knew better than to mess with the raptor fences!

[F7dim]

[Kire667]

1:40 I'm actually surprised she didn't lock the doors thinking he knew how to open them.

ARE ALL NEWS REPORTERS BLONDE?! For crying out loud. It's a fu- turkey! Eat the damn thing.

[Trackside1234]

Tell me that this is a prank. That woman has to be the biggest idiot in the world. Hello? Have you ever been out of your house before?

This HAS to be a joke... She can't be seriously having an anxiety attack because a 20 lb turkey is chasing her

[CatPilot]

Need to Zerg rush it with a gravy boat and stuffing.

[snorp73]

Just kick it.

[JerFhilm]

My neighbor has a chicken that's a real prick. It pecks at the legs of anyone walking down the street and is constantly jumping/flapping out of the fenced off coop area in the back. You can see the malice in that one little beady black eye staring at you.

[JerFhilm]

watch out bitch, those things used to be dinosaurs!!! "Help! He wont... stop! aAAH! Noooooo AHHH!!! HeEelp maahhh..."

"I don't know if he would bite me or what he would do." LOL stupid.

Turkeys can smell fear, they can smell it right down to the roots of their teeth.

[goreloverforlife]

GOOBLE GOOBLE!

[bokamoka]

FYI lady...Turkeys don't speak English !!!

[MrRcrehan]

South Park was right. Again.

[jaineen4]

Really..really

[oldnedofthehill]

Just wait till she meets some sparrows in the park! She will die of fright! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

[THEDISABLEDFERRET]

[nikker1985]

Why did the Turkey cross the road?

[JackalJayzer]

they need to add some DUN DUN DUN spooky music at 2:01

[usaggi]

run bitch! it will steal yo soul! ahahahahaha sassy

[freebird20002012]

by humans i meant whites

[JerFhilm]

@freebird20002012 You're absolutely correct none of the native americans ever killed a turkey.

Heheh hey you remember New Jack City? Nino Brown was giving them shits away on a corner! LOL Pooky took his and ran off to try to sell it for crack!

[freebird20002012]

im glad the turkey is chasing humans!! humans kill them on turkey slaughter day (aka thanksgiving)...time for revenge!

[jaineen4]

Lmao...really...this turkey went _ H.a.m.

lmao

[northofthe53rd]

Hey lady, don't take it personal he just wants to have SEX there's something bout you that he likes. prolly the biggest turkey he's ever seen and he wants it NOW....lol

[onyxescence]

What a total fricken IDIOT. There was absolutely nothing threatening about the turkey's body language. If it wanted to attack it would have attacked and looked like it was going to attack; is the 'supreme species' really this fricken stupid!!

[TheJeanneB]

I remember many years ago in Wantagh, LI, NY a flock of wild turkeys that would terrorize the kids walking to the Jr Hi and High School along Wantagh avenue. They roosted on the garage and house top rooves, made a mess of all the resident's cars, and became quite a problem for the area. The local animal control finally trapped them all and had them re-located to a remote area in upper NYS. My girls were so relieved, as they had been attacked more than once.

[simplyshama]

this would so be me though, I once hid in a toilet cubicle screaming because of this creepy cat. Everyone could hear me lol

[ratblls]

Well, I'd say Duffy Kelly is an idiot.

[trojanjoe14]

Lol at 2:01 "hello clarice"

[314flylight]

What a dumbass

[kcbikergal]

What an idiot. People will do/say anything for their "15 minutes of fame".  Good gravy.

[pf91rodman]

The turkey rebellion has begun

[dannyboyyy1000]

Are wild turkies known for chasing random people who are in their sight? If so, why do they do that? I'm curious..

[geminipiethai]

I found myself rooting for the turkey. That lady was so annoying.

[greenman117]

lol all you do is pick it up by the neck then toss it a little ways, dosent hurt the bird and he will leave you alone

[signboyy]

i think the woman is less intelligent that a turkey. took her forever to figure out that she should stop filming and run.

i guess its true that birds are descended from dinosaurs, that turkey still has some velicoraptor dna in it.

[dgunderson100]

If you think that's silly I know a reporter that's afraid of frogs.

[evilkillerpenguin]

In soviet russia, turkey hunts YOU!

[0okamiseishin]

I'm suddenly reminded of Cujo lol.

[Jinxmebaby]

This lady is seriously a moron.

[tupacmoc]

@Jinxmebaby Listen to part two of This American Life show Poultry Slam 2011, wild turkeys can be really dangerous and be a real threat to a whole community hehe

[warboop]

HA HA she wouldn't like to live here I had 10 in my back yard i cought them with a trail camera lol.

[DMJENI1]

forget the dog...

beware of turkey lolol

[Eschatoloman]

she is over acting it

[JimC]

Brave, brave journalist! Just like that Helen Reddy song: "I am strong, I am invincible, I am WOMAN!" LOL!

[jacob46465]

Turkeys, in her defense, can probably be scary, just as goats can run after you and crash into you...

[wholoveskitty]

Are you serious? It's a freaking turkey. It would more seem that some people are feeding him and he was thinking you might be nice to him you dumb bitch. He wasn't squawking, he wasn't flapping his inks, he got close to you and didn't do anything. You are a tard lady.

[TaciturnEternity]

@wholoveskitty they attack, actually. Sometimes quite viciously.

[rockybudgeboa]

CHICKEN!!!!!! I couldnt resist ;)

[10000Monkeys]

ROFL... if you show fear to an animal, you're screwed. It was probably just curious rather than trying to attack her.

[brent210]

love when the turkey mean mugs her over the hood

[66752063686172]

ROFL!

[TheOklahomeboy]

i cant throw my camera at him?what an idiot.

[m2chn]

I would respect this turkey's right to exists ... but when in a "urban" setting and I mean the same with a suburban lot that the turkey is so territorial that it attacks people (and the fish&game and animal control has failed to address this conflict), this Turkeys is fair "game". I will name it Dinner or Lunch or Meal. And there is case law to back up such an action. Oh! I can hear the animal rights folks howling now! Let 'em. I can take the heat!

[Dutchriot125]

just drive over that turkey so you can bring it home and have a nice meal tonight.

I wouldn't have done that but its sounds fun. :)

[Skadalilama]

Guys you realize this is a movie, right? You see the Turkey represents her past. She’s spent her life roaming other peoples’ neighborhoods on Thanksgiving instead of being with her family. So…the Turkey came to her. And a mail truck? Can we get any more symbolic? It’s her defense mechanism! She relies on the postal service to do her dirty work instead of giving thanks to her family herself! But not even the security of a vehicle can save her now. Thanksgiving is back with a vengeance.

[oklahomaisok]

Turkeys are powerful creatures aren't they?

[MrLysy1975]

I feel so bad for it now it's at the thanksgiving party at my aunts house and I think turkeys taste horrible!!!!

[AlexanderMrly]

more like Cloverfeild 2

Meanwhile, in Russia, Turkey hunts you!

[laurenheatonanderson]

Mailman must have been laughing his butt off...

[stuartdrummond]

Turkeyfield!! Coming to theaters near you in 2012.

[SirFrag32]

Lol, she could just go in the house...

[getalife67]

turkeys from the hood?

[AlphaIOmega]

ahahaha stupid bimbo...it wouldnt chase her if she held her ground.

[miacis9]

the poor thing was just being curious it wasn't being hostile at all... the reporter should grow some...



[vicalm007]

They should keep this guy as a neighborhood pet. Terrible Tom would become trooper Tom. Give him a huge badge and some nice wild turkey food. It would be a payback for years serving the American table. Give the reporter something too, a medal for funniest turkey video of the year.

[rusroyce]

ahhaahha- bitch is whispering "help!"

[shernajwine]

I got chased by a goose once, this brought back bad memories LOL

[sdnathan520]

i LOVE when he peeks over the hood!!! LMAO!!!!!

[Susandkd]

Hysterically ruthless bird :)

[shooter0404]

Jeez, I would love a turkey to try to chase me......I WOULD DESTROY THAT SHIT!

[21stbn]

HAHAHA !!! THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE BLAIR WITCH project !!!!

[horseybebe316]

this could have been me 8years ago. I was eating turkey 24/7,breakfast,lunch and dinner no joke. all bc of chemo i was probably on every turkey's hit list

[haggischick007]

lol he wants to come home for dinner

[hockeycub]

" Can you grab it. Trow something at it. I can't trow my camera at it"

[hagenar]

The turkey poking its head over the hood at the end. Too funny.

[ghostofkenny]

What a pussy.

[jeremyshields]

Exemplary coping skills...

[GunBroker100]

So where's the attack? Clearly a turkey that people in the neighborhood have been feeding and it's just looking for another hand out. The turkey never showed any aggressive behavior. People feed them thinking it's cool, then when they come running up for food, silly people scream "It's attacking me". Same with deer. Oh, it cool to have them around until they start eating all the high priced landscaping. People make the problems, then bitch about it. Stop feeding them dummies.

[tuber123asd]

3/3 Well uh, I mean, I would not wanna be the people living here, thank you very much. Um, I'm shaking. If the camera's shaking, it's cuz I'm shaking. My arm is shaking because I'm scared of that turkey! *Exasperated sigh*

[tuber123asd]

2/3 Can you grab it? Throw something at it?! I can't throw my camera at him. I don't know if he would bite me or what he would do, but thank god for that mail truck. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get in my car. He's uh got me trapped in the car. Oh my god. Ok! Ok Fine! *Heavy breathing* He's out this window now. There he is. Oh, ok. He's like circling around my car. There he is in the front, waiting for me to come out. OMG there he is. He's waiting for me to get out of this car.

[tuber123asd]

Ok. Excuse me. All right. There's the turkey. Ok. Ok fine. Here comes the mail truck. Oh! He's coming across the street at me. All right. Maybe this is true. Ok. No! Oh my god! Ok. Um. OMG! Ok. Go away. Go away! OMG! What do I have? I don't have a stick. Holy crap, um. All right! Oh! Oh JESUS CHRIST! NOOOOOOOOOO! GOD NO! Go away! Go away! Oh! Uh! HELP! Ok. He won't stop! AHHH! Oh. Ok. Thank you! The mailman! It's true! It's so true! NOOO!! AHH!! GOD HELP! OH! WHat do we do? Can you grab it?!
