The Taiwanese parliament descended into utter chaos and violence on December 20, 2024, as lawmakers were seen getting into physical fights over controversial bills that they viewed as a threat to Democracy.
The lawmakers were seen engaging in all sorts of violence, such as pushing, hitting, throwing water and even chairs.
This marks the second major brawl witnessed at the Taiwanese parliament this year since May 17. However, this one was much more violent, as several lawmakers were reported injured in the incident. The reactions online are everything from shock to amusement.
Hilarious fan reactions
The incident has evoked a range of reactions from netizens, with most of them expressing their absolute disbelief at what they were seeing. Here are some of the funniest reactions to the brawl on the internet.
1 - Entertained spectator
Several netizens have found themselves thoroughly entertained by seeing important people, such as lawmakers, getting into physical fights.
2 - Misdirection of energy
This user humorously highlights how it would've been better if the lawmakers channeled all that aggressive energy into finding actual solutions and inspiring positive change instead of engaging in physical violence.
3 - Cat in the Hat saw it coming
The 2003 film Cat in the Hat featured a scene with three characters watching the television news that reported a fight erupting in the Taiwanese parliament. So it looks like Cat in the Hat joked about it more than 20 years ago.
4 - Kung fu fighting
Seeing more than 100 people getting involved in a brawl seems to have hilariously reminded this user of the 1974 classic song "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas.
5 - Too busy to care
While many have voiced their opinion on the incident, some couldn't care less since it has nothing to do with them, such as this user who shows what he has to say about the brawl through this picture.
6 - Lawmakers or Lawbreakers?
This user interestingly points out how the lawmakers shown engaging in physical violence in the video could make them look like lawbreakers instead to anyone watching online without any context regarding the incident.
7 - Just like a WWE fight
Trending
An incident that involved people pushing, hitting, throwing water, and even chairs at one other does sound a lot like a WWE fight.
Videos of the recent brawl in the Taiwanese parliament have really taken the internet by storm, eliciting several hilarious reactions from netizens and turning this chaotic incident into a comedy spectacle.
