Cute As Balls: Heroic Faceless Man Saves Baby Deer

thumbnail: Cute As Balls: Heroic Faceless Man Saves Baby Deer

Everything about this video of a man who woke up to find a young deer trapped in his fence is just wonderful, and I don't use that phrase lightly when referring to viral video about animals (though I do use "Cute As Balls" lightly, apparently). If this video were a TV show, it would have a warning: "Contains scenes that may be too intense for children," which is a warning I usually heed. It's educational (deer can scream?), heartwarming (mankind reaches out to the deer community), suspenseful (will the deer know that the man is trying to save him and not kill him?) sweet as all get out (the man's gentle comforting words to the deer are so "aww!") and, finally, heroic. Can I nominate the last ten seconds of this for best spontaneously filmed online video accidental action movie ending ever?

This was better than the Hancock trailer.

I like the flannel pants superhero outfit. Cherith Cutestory's going to have to get him a better costume for the movie version of this.

Jesus Christ. When he's coming back from behind his house, you just see him carrying a board with a nail in it. Then the camera points to the sky, and you hear a few hard whacks, and the deer's scream goes all low and distorted. Then the camera goes on the ground and the deer is slumped on the ground for a few seconds.

I thought he killed the fucking thing!
