Three guys wearing a red shirt

three clones of tom scott, who say "we are standing in an elevator going to the 5th floor" in perfect unison as you enter

Can we do 2 adult men and a bear?

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the Internet, we can do anything.

My two older brothers and my dad

Everywhere they went people were getting kidnapped, orcs were invading, trees were coming to life, and the dead were rising. Id want to be far away from that elevator.

So ackshually...

Aragorn was descended from Elros who was a half-elf, but that was so long ago he may or may not be a full man depending on how racist one is about miscegenation.

Legolas was an elf and Gimli was a dwarf, so explicitly not Men.

How about Eomer and Faramir instead?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 days ago

Men as in males, yes.

Men as in humans, mostly no

Figures that the safest men to be stuck with aren't human men.

He's 87 years old at the start of LOTR.
He descends from Elros the Half-Elf.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but that just makes him a much-better-than-average human.

[–] eyes@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

He's got Elven heritage. He's the 64th descendant of Elros, brother of Elrond. I think he's also decendend from a Maiar as Elros and Elrond's great great grandmother was Melian.

I tried to come up with a counter argument and realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want to.

I can't believe how jacked Arnold is here. It's truly remarkable.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Thats not even his peak, he was more jacked as Hercules and in the first Terminator film imo, before his movie career.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ok I recognise Andre and Arnold, who's the dude on the left?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Wilt Chamberlain.

The only NBA player to individually score 100 points in a game.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Arnold's got a decent number of allegations against him, but Andre would protect you so I guess it's honestly a freebie for the other two if he's in the mix.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Andre was a sweetheart, but a famous alcoholic. You'd have to worry about him passing out drunk. You don't want to get crushed by a 500 pound teddy bear in a small space.

There's a story of him passing out drunk in a hotel bar and the staff just having to let him stay the night where he fell because they couldn't move him.

Harry Houdini, Angus MacGyver, and James Randi

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I think all of them are dead, I'm not sure I will be safe with a bunch of dead people in the elevator

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Richard Dean Anderson/MacGyver/General O'Neil is alive.

Don't scare me like that!

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

His first name is Angus?

[–] dildobaggins69@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hate to be contrary but I'd think you couldn't be safer if they were all dead

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

LOTR spoilerAragorn is dead too!

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I'd choose: Boromir, Ned Stark, and Sean Bean.

No way anything bad can happen to me with those magnets around.

[–] Baylahoo@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The whole elevator would just crash through the foundation. You'd be collateral when Death gets a 3 for 1 final destination style.

I'd also go for Data, Riker, and LaForge.

Let's be real. We're all NPCs so if any of the men are from something with action, we'll probably end up dead. My pick would be Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers, and Steve Irwin. Super calming and chill

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Steve was an amazing person but I wouldn’t describe him as chill.

He was pure overwhelming enthusiastic energy.
