The most effective anti-bullying campaign I’ve ever seen.

This is not your first time watching this scene.

“He’s doing this for you.” That might be the most terrifying thing a child could ever hear, given the situation.

i love how he makes the kid watch his father get beat up and questions his honor for leaving his dad

"You can't solve nothing with violence." "Yes, you can." "In what situation?" "In a violent one."

My dad was always a reserved and quiet man, he never looked for trouble or retaliated; he wasn’t very affectionate with me or my brothers but we understood it, he grew up in a different era. I was bullied during middle school , my dad’s first advice was “tell a teacher, if he keeps on bullying you, kick his ass. That way when you get suspended I’ll vouch for you and said I told you to do that”. Long story short, I could never work up the guts to punch this guy back, one day my dad picks me up from school and he notices something is wrong; I tell him I want to change schools because I can’t take this anymore. The next day my dad picked me up, he parked the car near school and told me to point out my bully, I did, we waited for him to get picked up and my dad followed the car. He cuts them up in traffic, slams on the brakes and gets out of the car. He approached this kids window, told him his full name, his grade, and that if he ever fucked with me again he would stomp him. The kid’s mom tried to yell at my dad and threatened to call the cops, he said “call your husband, that way this little shit can see what will happen to him for being a bully”. My dad got back it car and we never spoke of that again, the kid stopped bullying me alongside everyone in school because the rumor spread like wildfire and I have never felt so good. My old man never said I love you but I know you did dad, I still miss you.

It's a testament to how good an actor Colin Farrell is that his character is simultaneously both a violent sociopath, and also completely relatable and understandable.

“you’re twelve years old and you’re already evil as fuck” man I love this scene

I can confirm, violence against Bullies DOES work.

Let's take a minute to appreciate the irony that someone named Aspen picked on someone named Chad.

No one ever helped me during 6 years of intense bullying. The resolution was to send me off school after i freaked out and broke one of my bullies jaw multiple times. Now iam 34, and the thing is iam not angry about the kids that bullied me, but still in anger about all those other kids and teachers just watching, letting it happen, ignoring it, saying its my own fault. Nothing in life shaped me like that experience did, to this day. i learned as a child that most humans are either plain evil or selfish stupid cowards. no one ever proved me wrong.

As a former victim of bullying you have no idea how satisfying this is to watch, i love this, this is true justice ❤

"You're gonna run out on your dad? Take a look, he's doing this for you." DANG! That was one cold line.

Don’t kidnap Liam Neeson’s daughter. Don’t kill Keanu Reeves’s dog And don’t bully Colin Farrell’s son.

Major props to the kid who actually plays this role for executing this scene perfectly. His reaction looked genuine

“You like to bully kids ASS…. Pen?” 🤣

"Take a look. He's doing this for you". Dang that's some gangsta shyt right there.

Just like my dad taught me. The only thing a bully understands is a bigger bully.

This scene should be mandatory viewing in middle schools everywhere.

When I was about 10-12 years old, the son of the Mayer and few of his friends bullied me a few times. My mom confronted the principal about it about 2 times, but the principal was favoring the mayor 's kid for obvious reasons. Then it happened again, and my mom went straight to his mom when she was with her boy and said, "Your boy has bullied my son several times, and I reported it to the shitty principal, but she ain't doing anything. But if your son touches my son again, I will kill him and gladly go to jail. And I know who your husband is but I don't give a fuck." He never touched me again (and after about 8years, we became friends too.) I'm soo proud of my mom.

“Aspen.......that’s a boys name”, almost as good as the beating.

"Twelve years old, my ass. Fuck. You." Single greatest line of all time.

Physical recovery: 6 weeks. Physiological recovery: 6 years

When my son was little, I knew bc of our genetics that when he matured he was going to be big. I instilled into him “If you’re big enough to push people around, be big enough not to”. I’m proud of the gentle giant he became and even prouder that he would stand up for those that couldn’t stand up for themselves.

If a parent can't discipline their kid then the parent needs discipline.

"Aspen..? That's a boy's name?" Lmao, cracks me up every time.

"You are gonna run out on your dad?" That line had way more impact than seeing his dad all beat up. Those lines would stay with him forever, reminding him he truly tried to run out on his own father. Forever a coward.

1:30 "Aspin, that's a boy's name? " This line got me 😂

"you're gonna run out on your dad? take a look, hes doing this for you"

“Aspen, that’s a boy’s name?” Best line in this series!

I was bullied quite often in grade school. Mostly I think because I was quiet and reserved. I just wanted to learn and get through school to the end and summer vacation. I never got punched or kicked but got verbally abused and pushed up against the school wall and shoved quite often. They always tried to intimidate me but I never gave in and I just fought back with logic and asked them straight up "why?" They never had a good answer because when they started talking about it, it all sounded so stupid coming out of their mouths. Sixth grade comes around and we get a new kid in our class. He was quiet and reserved just like me but he didn't get bullied. That was because he was probably at least 5 inches taller than anyone else. He was bigger than most of the teachers there. I got to know him and he had seen me get bullied off and on and he promised me that since I was his friend, no one would ever bully me again. True to his word, the first time after that when one of the bullies came to harass me he jumped right in front of me and just towered over the other guy. He didn't even have to do anything he just stared at the guy until he turned around and left. After that, school was much better and he and I became good friends. I'll never forget him even though I haven't seen him in over 20 years. That seemingly insignificant act of standing up for a friend shaped a lot of my life from then on. I have since then become much more self-confident and never have I taken crap from anyone since. I don't know exactly how my life would have ended up if he hadn't done what he did. Stand up for yourself and for others who cannot. Wherever you are buddy, thank you.

Years ago my uncle home from Vietnam got me to admit the name of the person who tormented me. That bully was my third grade teacher. Uncle Roland (rip) came to my school in uniform and set the matter straight without throwing a punch or drawing his service revolver. I'll always hold his actions in the highest esteem.

“You like to bully kids Ass Pen?” - LMAO

Man, that guy sure is aggressive ever since he finally got out of that phone booth.

When the reason fails, violence prevails.

Let’s all give Huge Props to the fine acting from all of these characters! 😊

If you can't beat a kid then beat his dad

"You're 12 years old and you're already evil as fuck" One of the best lines in this season 🤣🤠🤣🤠

A few years back I moved my son to a new town but it was his freshman year. A month in he told me a few kids where messing with him. He's an athletic kid and I asked him if he was afraid of them and he replied that they threatened to jump him. His mother and I told him that if that ever happened and he were injured I'd track down each father, my wife would track down each mother to provide educational ass whoopings. Also told him to tell the kids we said it and mean it. My son's confidence went through the roof and he's fitting in just fine 2 years later. I think just knowing someone has your back means a lot to kids, especially young men.

One of the coolest scenes I have ever seen.

Hard to hate a dirty cop when he is doing righteous work.

This is so perfect though. He never hurts the kid who is a bully. No instead he beats up likely who is the strongest person to the bully. His dad. Theres so many levels to what he did and I'm here for it.

I am not a father but scenes like this make me think how I would handle my child being bullied by others

I was bullied in early grade school, went to a place for troubled kids. The irony of seeing all the anti-bullying posters and teachers looking the other way because 'just ignore it' is stupid advice. Eventually I got even and they left me alone, would also go after the bullies who went after other kids. I forgave them a long time ago. The ones I'll never forgive are my parents and teachers who gave me terrible advice and never stood up for me, nor the other kids I had to protect because they wouldn't. I got in a lot of trouble for it but it's worth it, someone has to take a stand so it might as well be me. The way to deal with bullies is instant and aggressively, that's how it works in the real world.

Colin Farrell is a criminally underrated actor.

I think that this is one of the most satisfying scenes in TV history.

I remember i was being bullied at school, i came back one day in tears and shaking telling my dad how some kids were bothering me, after that, my dad said "If they ever try to pick on you again, kick them, just like this *demonstration* ok?" A simple command that changed my (and honestly almost every other guy's out there) life, if you DARE to touch another person, get ready for retaliation

Good stuff! When I was a kid I was defending myself from a Bully and the kid's father showed up at my doorstep too. What he didn't know was that my father was an army special forces vet. From my bedroom window, I watched my old man put the fear into a man who had 3 inches and about 80 lbs on him. No fighting just a few words and that thousand-mile stare. "we going to do something here or are you going to turn around and go home so I can finish Knight Rider?"

Is it just me or this scene kind a give you a major satisfaction.

This scene is therapy for everyone who's been bullied in their life.

This scene has more substance and cohesion than the entirety of season 4.

One of the older bullies in my neighborhood growing up still lives in the old neighborhood, all alone, washed out druggie, still lives in the house he inherited from his parents. He still wanders around the neighborhood like he did when he was twelve. I feel sorry for him now.

"twelve years old my ass!" meaning that bully was left back a year or two.

"If you ever bully or hurt anybody again..." I love the fact that it was in general "anybody again" and not only a revenge for his kid.

That "tisss" he makes when the other guy touches him, that's top notch acting. He IS the character!

I love how when the guy called him an asshole he sort of nodded his head like “yeah, you’re probably right. But you’re not doing that to my son”..

Dont tell me you never imagined being Ray Velcoro for one day.

"i used to wanna be an astronaut. But astronauts don't even go to the moon anymore" Good line.

one of the greatest conceptual scenes on tv ever.

This totally reminds me of a similar situation in my life...I came home to my mom and little brother 11 (who was in chemo and cancer recovery) crying saying some bully had beat him and slammed his head in a wooden door. He had big welps..I was 16...I said mom take me there...No she says, Matt no! I said take me there or I'm driving over there with friends and not gonna be pretty. So she takes me..(the "kid" was older than I was btw) and I knock on the door..luckly the kid answers and I said hey man I'm John's brother and he wanted to apologize for something he said.. so the bully came out and I immediately started beating him like there's no tomorrow. Kid had braces so u know how that goes...I beat him for a cool 5 min until my little brother was begging me to stop. He had a string of blood from his mouth to concrete as I drag him to my brothers feet..."kiss them!" I screamed , as that's happening the dad comes out with a baseball bat and was chasing me around vehicles...when I got back home police showed up and arrested me. They looked at my little brother and his wounds and said there was nothing they could do that it would be a "counter charge" that they should have been called first...fast forward 15 years and that bully was a cop that got fired and been divorced twice with domestic abuse charges...so yeah it was worth it😂

This is more effective than wearing pink t-shirts on anti bullying day.

Dads got a headache i think he needs two aspens

I love this scene!

Also, love how everyone here completely forgets how Ray Velcoro was a bully to his own son and daughter, basically traumatizing them regularly.

Colin Farrell never gets enough credit for just how brilliant an actor he is. Can be blood chillingly scary or absolutely hilarious.

“They took his shoes out of his locker” “And what shit on them?”🤣 gets me every time

This brought peace to my heart, mind and soul. Absolute delight. Wish all bullies get owned like this.

This scene saved the entire season.

Farrell doesn't get nearly enough credit for his acting in TD, this scene in particular is perfectly done.

Schools that have zero tolerance for fighting should have zero tolerance for bullying. Kick bullies out or let them fight.

Growing up I was bullied all throughout grade school up till 8th. No one every defended me not teachers or parents, I was alone and felt alone. During my 8th grade year I transferred to a new school an hour away from my old one. The reason was due to the Bully’s chasing me home, everything was fine for the first year and half but soon some of the bully’s found out where I was going to school at again they couldn’t do nothing there cuz the teachers cared for me this time. But one of them had an older brother who was a drunk and a punk, he took and follow my moms car to our house one day to find out where we lived. The next morning I woke up to get ready to go to school but when I opened the front door their was my bully’s, the beat me till I couldn’t resist then dragged me to my stepdad shop and broke my hand. I later woke up to my stepdad being put into a police car, he gave two of them sever concussions with permanent brain damage and the older one that could drive he broke both his arms and then fractured his spine so that he could never enjoy life again. My stepdad is my greatest hero his not perfect but that act right their proved that he would protect me at all costs.

Coming back here once in a while to read new Stories about standing up to Bullying Keep it coming Lads! ☝️👋👍

He is like a mix of Trevor Phillips and Keanu Reeves 😂

“I used to wanna be an astronaut, but astronauts don’t even go to the moon anymore.” One of my favorite lines form a movie

Instead of teaching the boy to stand by himself he proceeds to beat the bullys father who probably didnt knew what his kid was doing. Wicked AF.

Violence is never an answer, it’s a question, and sometimes the answer to that question. Is yes.

I love how he says "You realize I tell when people are lying for a living..."

To stop monsters you must become one.

Because of the bullying I experienced, growing up, I do not trust people and pretty much assume the worst in nearly everyone. People suck.

He knew that he couldn´t beat up the bully, so he beat up the person who raised the bully.

I felt those dark emotions, man. This scene just engages people who've always wanted to do something about bullies

Take away a kid's best protection and you really see him squirm.

One of the best moment of my youth (14 y.o.) was when I agreed with a strong guy to help him with maths if he would help me fight back a guy that was bullying me (I was small and weak). He agreed, we waited for the bully after class and we beat him to a pulp. I was never bullied again. Best investment ever!

physical recovery : 6 months full psychological recovery : 12 years

I was bullied a lot in grade school. And as much as my parents talked to the principles and teachers it wouldn't stop. No one cared at school bc it wasn't usually physical, just psychological. One day a kid was in my face saying some really horrible things and threatening to "kick me in the nuts" over and over. I was not a violent kid and very emotional. I begged him to stop and to leave me alone. He wouldn't budge and had a cackle of other kids behind him laughing while watching this. And all the teachers just ignored it. He kept threatening me and pushing me back. I finally snapped and I threw a haymaker to his face, knocking him to the ground. I wasn't even aware of my own strength. He just sits there in shock on the ground and no one moved, they just didn't expect it. I start crying bc I really did not want to hurt anyone but I had no choice. The principal was called and I'm given a suspension until they decide what to do. Didn't hear my side of the story, I was violent so I was in trouble. My mom comes to pick me up, and as we're driving home she's silent. My mom is old school in the sense that doing well in school is more important than anything; this was my only suspension and I was afraid how she'll react if it effected my permanent record. And I'm so afraid of what she'll say. (I'm paraphrasing here) but she asks me what happened and I tell her. She sighs, and says "I'm proud of you. You had no choice". Later on we tell my dad as well and he also agrees with me. He then spends the night going over with me what to say to the principal exactly when I go back in the review the situation. A day or 2 later (short suspension) we're sitting in the office. Me and my parents and the kid and his parents. He's got a big ol black eye and I couldn't help but be pleased by that. They're clearly thinking I'm going to get shafted for this. But when the principal asks us to explain I was so practiced in explaining how it happened, why I responded how I did in self defense, and my "deepest apologies" for hurting him. I could see my parents gleaming with pride, they had to see me go through so much heartache from these kids it was great I could take control for once. The other kid was so taken aback that he didn't know how to respond. The principal decided to make it a no contest and to not have the suspension be official on our records. The other kids parents were so mad by this. Since that day I stopped getting bullied. The other kids knew what I could do and walk away from it.

This scene gives me so much satisfaction

This dad ain't got hit for bullying. He got hit, because for bad parenting that resulted in bullying.

Never bully anyone because you dont know how crazy their relatives are :D

Best lesson that kid will ever learn ❤

The bully was *Aspen* for it. I'll get my coat.

Plot twist: his son gave him the name of random kid he hated at school 😂

The confrontation with Aspen and his dad was so beautiful. I loved it so much that it almost made me feel high watching it.

"Violence is not the answer to everything. It's not, it's the question and the answer is YES"

How to deal with bullying: Google: resolved in a peaceful way, report to teacher.. Bing:

"Aspen? That's a boy's name?" As if he needed another reason to beat up the bully's dad, naming his kid Aspen should clinch it.

I am always so confused why watching things like this is so satisfying, to the point that when it ends, I almost want it to keep going…

Violence solves everything , anyone says it doesn’t is a person walking in life as everyone’s doormat and they accept it

I watch this every time it gets recommended to me.

Am a small dude and always got picked on at the beginning of school year or when attending a new one. My step dad (a rehabilitated ex-convict) gave me the best antibully advise: a shark will only eat the fish that don't bite back. Even if you only manage to chew an ear or poke an eye, a bully will pick an easy target 9/10 times. Don't teach a child to report a bully, teach a child to fight back.

This is so satisfying to watch
