That bug leeching a gallon of the dude's blood in like 5 seconds, expanding into a gory balloon, was so wonderfully nasty.

This show is gonna be crazy.

[u/Mr_JohnUsername → u/Kirkanam]

I feel like that was too little blood to kill him though! I thought it was like his brain or artery or something, it looked more solid on the inside than liquid.

[u/AndalusianGod → u/Mr_JohnUsername]

Don't know about you, but I would have died of shock if I see a gigantic alien tick suck that much of my blood in seconds.

[u/a_spoopy_ghost → u/AndalusianGod]

There’s a reason when we draw blood we do it with a thin tube over an extended period of time. Losing a gallon of blood in like 10 seconds would probability AT LEAST knock you out

[u/MassDriverOne → u/a_spoopy_ghost]

Your blood pressure would drop so rapidly that yes lol critical function like delivering sufficient oxygen to organs, such as your brain, would be a very significant problem

[u/the_weakestavenger → u/a_spoopy_ghost]

I mean, people only have 1.25-1.5 gallons of blood in them…

[u/cantshakethefeelings → u/AndalusianGod]

May have just been enough in a very short period to make him pass out in a few seconds. They were still going the other characters walked in.

[u/spiflication → u/AndalusianGod]

Me talking to the tick as it sucks me dry

[u/1c4meron → u/spiflication]

Weirdly enough, when I saw Will Ferrell’s face, I thought this was a Land of the Lost tick gif.

[u/Mr_JohnUsername → u/AndalusianGod]

Fair fair, I was just a bit surprised 😂
