Funny Encounter with a Pool Python: Brave Sir Robin Would Approve

A funny video has surfaced on Reddit, capturing a group of brave individuals trying to wrangle a python from a swimming pool. This comical encounter has sparked a range of reactions and comments, providing endless entertainment for viewers.

The video, believed to be filmed in South Africa, shows the group speaking Afrikaans and repeatedly urging each other to "grab him" as they attempt to deal with the snake. The laughter-inducing scene has led one commenter to declare, "That snake can go ahead and have that pool, as far as I'm concerned."

Interestingly, the video title "Wranglers" has left some viewers puzzled, with one remarking, "I didn’t see single jeep in that video." However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the python, or as one commenter humorously dubbed it, the "pool python" – thankfully, not a "pyjama python!"

The suspenseful yet funny situation has drawn comparisons to the legendary Brave Sir Robin from Monty Python's "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." A commenter cleverly referenced the iconic song: "When danger rears its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled! Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, And gallantly, he chickened out!"

Despite the group's efforts, it seems the python had the upper hand, with one viewer imagining the snake as a mythological beast, "luring them to their death." The python, referred to as a "pool danger-noodle," was certainly not an easy adversary.

The video also sparked some relatable humor, with one commenter comparing the scene to "Me when my son is supposed to get out of the pool." Another viewer joked, "It’s her pool now," acknowledging the python's apparent victory.

The lighthearted comments continued, with one user noting, "Did the one guy wet his pants in a previous attempt or did he just wet his pants? No judgment, just wondering." Others offered practical advice, such as not underestimating the snake's grip and speed: "You don’t have to be faster than the snake. You just gotta be faster than your buddy that is clumsy af."

This Reddit video has provided a perfect blend of humor and suspense, capturing the internet's attention. Whether it's the Afrikaans-speaking wranglers, the brave yet retreating heroes, or the formidable pool python, this delightful encounter is a must-watch.

Since it is a Python and they all bravely ran away... [Brave Sir Robin ran away](https://youtu.be/jYFefppqEtE?si=8hO7vIkiNxdcYiK_&t=143)! *When danger rears it's ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled!* *Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about,* *And gallantly, he chickened out!* *Swiftly taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat!* *Bravest of the Brave, Sir ROBIN!*

I've been bit 3 times by pythons.. the biting is not what would concern me. It's them thinking I'm a g*****n chicken and deciding to coil and squeeze. (fortunately I've always been bit on the hand and able to unwrap them. Also, don't dangle semi-warm food, they really don't see well.

For a moment I thought the Python would pull them all to the pool, like if it was a mythological beast luring to their death
