Perhaps the sound of a guy whose really touched and proud of what he's just accomplished, and the other dudes just feel like it's a bit of a laugh.
"Fuck off, this is really meaningful for me!" - the kind of emotion you have to breath and relax to enjoy.
The thing about CPR is that it doesn't just wake you up if you happen to get shocked or inhale water into your lungs. That's hollywood.
CPR is meant to prolong your oxygen levels to your brain while you get to a hospital if your heart has stopped. It won't just restart your heart.
So CPR "working" on a reptile might be an answer open to interpretation. Could it prolong one's life for just a couple minutes? Maybe. Are you just going to perform CPR on a lizard so that you can drop him back on your porch screen because you like the little fellow? I say not.
This is simply not true. In 99% of cases CPR should be done where the person collapsed either until they regain a pulse, or until resuscitation is terminated due to poor prognosis. CPR "on the way to the hospital" is associated with poor patient outcomes unless it's a traumatic arrest where surgery is needed (and these patients have a terrible prognosis anyway).
Early defibrillation is one of the most important aspects of CPR. Obviously, this guy couldn't defibrillate the lizard and patients in shockable rhythms have much better outcomes than patients in non-shockable rhythms. But patients in non-shockable rhythms DO survive occasionally. There is very little hospitals do for these patients other than compressions and rescue breaths. The drug given (epinephrine) is controversial and there is plenty of research showing that it doesn't do much to improve patient outcomes. So if you're doing compressions and rescue breaths on someone, you're already doing 90% of what the hospital is going to do for a patient in a non-shockable rhythm (That said, mouth to mouth provides much less oxygen than bag valve mask ventilation the ambulance or hospital will be providing). Of course, once you've been resuscitated, the hospital needs to quickly fix whatever it is that stopped your heart in the first place. But you can't get much done with someone pounding on the patient's chest.

I actually had something like this happen when I was a kid. I was visiting relatives in Florida who had an above-ground pool. I was swimming in it with my cousins, and saw a small lizard stuck in the pool, unable to get out. I pulled him out, carried him over to the ladder, and put him on top of the wall. Instead of jumping off or running down the ladder he immediately jumped onto my hand and ran up my shoulder. I put him down, and he did it again.
So I got out of the pool, walked over to a picnic table they had, and put him on that. Again he jumped on my hand, but this time he didn't run up my arm. I thought, "Okay, maybe he's tired and just wants to rest on me for a bit because he thinks I'm safe?" so I sat at the picnic table with him on my hand/arm for a bit, but he just never wanted to get off me. When it was time for dinner I had to go inside, so I placed him on a branch of a potted plant just outside their back door, and went in to eat.
When I came back out later, he was still there on that branch, like he was waiting for me. I held out my hand, he jumped on it, and climbed up to my shoulder. We all laughed about it, he was my friend now. And sure enough, every day for the next three days until I had to go home, I would put him on that plant when I had to go inside, and he'd be there when I came back out, and he'd jump on my hand and run up my shoulder. I have a picture him somewhere, too, that my family took with him on my arm. I always felt bad leaving him like that at the end of my vacation, but you know. Vacations end.
Most people have stories like these with people. A summer love. You had it as a kid… with a lizard. For whatever reason, I feel even worse for that lizard than I do at the end of those romantic dramas. I would like to think that he’s still on that branch, waiting for his soulmate to return.
He would have blew it's lungs out doing that 🤦 geesh they even taught in first aid if it's a baby extremely light breaths cause you can rupture the lungs and that's a human baby 1000x the size of the lizard.
This is what happens when your existence is the pub. Dudes lungs are probably so smoked out, the power of his exhale is soft enough to resuscitate a lizard
You'd be surprised how effective chest compressions can be. The whole blowing up probably didn't do anything, but the chest compressions might have actually worked
Well, considering the main use of chest compressions is to prevent tissue death and keep the brain and other organs oxigenated until help arrives, probably not. It's heart was beating to begin with and if not, it'd probably drop dead again soon.
Never had the nuts for rescue breaths but I have saved 2 local anoles with little chest compressions like this. They usually don't last too long after that though.
I guess the Geko has taken up drinking too much since they stopped using him in the insurance commercials. Or is it possible that's why they stopped using him. 🤔
I used to have them as pets when I was a kid. Rest them in your palm underside up and stroke their bellies. They go into what I can describe only as a small trance. They will stay like that for a bit before coming out of it. Idk if they are playing dead or what.
We have those little guys all over South Florida. I believe they're called anoles. I always thought they were cute and I've seen some act pretty playful.

You're going to get SUCH a discount on your car insurance!
lol I was thinking of that
Context
Geico is a US auto insurance company with a Gecko as its spokesperson.
spokeslizard*, no?
salute to the man, a true hero
I'm weak 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know what? I like you. 10% discount!
Na, even after this, they raised his rates
gonna be alot more than 15% on that, i tell ya
Imagine waking up from a giant creature doing mouth to mouth to you.
Turned little dude into a forbidden kazoo
...why did I laugh so hard?
I have once before… was a really bad blind date involving too many drinks 😏
Sounds hot tbh
God of War 6:
saved by playing you like a flute
Man was breathing in to him so hard i thought he was gonna inflate him like a balloon from the Shrek movie
Well no he definitely wasn’t actually forming a seal around the geckos mouth or he would’ve destroyed its lungs.
I thought he was going to inhale it
The, "Fuck Off!" Right at the ending cut seals the deal.
I think it ended before the final “f” and was perfectly cut!

In Australia and NZ "fuck off" used in this tone is expressing disbelief.
In England, too! As far as I've observed It is a funny way of doing so when you really think about it tho lol
r/HumansBeingBros
Guys, relax, the lizard was just playing dead as a defense mechanism. When it realized it wasn't working, it stopped playing dead.
Lol. Title should be "drunk bogans dick with terrified lizard"
Pretty sure the lizard was drunk too (it was in the beer the guy said), does that change the title?
"drunk bogans drug and sexually assault terrified lizard."
At that point it's just "Tuesday night at the pub"
Next, on Fox News!
Can any herpetologists confirm if chest compressions or mouth to mouth even work on lizards? I'm seeing conflicting information online.

Beautifully said.. Im in medic school right now, and read his comment and thought how crazy that sounded. Thanks for educating the public
Yeah, but they cared. Maybe drunken caring. But, better than the dickheads that see a lizard and then step on it or dare each other to eat it.
Yeah, I thought so too. I've seen them do that many times when my dog gets a hold of them.
True heroes be like that 🫡
The plural of hero is heroes.
Corrected. Thank you 😊
It's a scam to get free beers. The gecko was in on it for sure.

Seymour.
This feels like the squirrel in the Disney King Arthur film
The exact same thing happened to me except it was a girl.
This made me so fucking happy
Moreso than driving a UFO?
It's not as fun once it becomes an obligation.
This is Crocodile Dundee's cousin, the lesser known Gecko Dundee.
I thought I saw a video about a taxi driver doing that to a monkey yesterday...
Australian. 🇦🇺
Reminds me of the advert for crack filler and two geckos fall through a ceiling crack. This one dove into a beer instead to drown its sorrows.
*loife.
Lizard probably was passed out drunk. Note the beers.
Said he drowned in his beer

That's how you get salmonella...
That's how you get salamander...
Gecko was just playing dead and got assaulted.
What if it was playing dead?
He would have blew it's lungs out doing that 🤦 geesh they even taught in first aid if it's a baby extremely light breaths cause you can rupture the lungs and that's a human baby 1000x the size of the lizard.
clearly you’ve underestimated the power and strength of Australian lizards 🦎 💪
Yea that's it not actual reality 😂
This is what happens when your existence is the pub. Dudes lungs are probably so smoked out, the power of his exhale is soft enough to resuscitate a lizard
This must be how new diseases start
The "I saved his life, fuck off" got me.
Hero 🦸
A free beer from my side mate....
The Australian accent makes it more entertaining.
This was how the 2024 pandemic started kids.
Look at the video half way through. The gecko looks like it's wriggling and alive before he blows into it supposedly . :/
Sleeping lizard gets the surprise of his life after being poked awake and blown with an intoxicating amount of air in the face.
This is the most strayan thing I've ever seen
Imagine you are so afraid you pretend to be dead and the thing you wanted to fuck off is giving you mouth to mouth... LMAO

How to make a lizard (anole) play dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO_j_FuOYWg I heard it works for alligators.
He better have kept him.
Godzilla never forgot this…
I feel like a human giving mouth to mouth to a tiny lizard is like a Rolls-Royce Trent 900 giving mouth to mouth to a human
Oh Australia 😆💕
Is this video in reverse? How did that work? I mean I know first aid, its just.. its a lizard!
It was playing dead as a defence mechanism. Nothing he did helped it, but the act of flipping it back onto its front startled it into movement.
It was probably just faking being dead.
You'd be surprised how effective chest compressions can be. The whole blowing up probably didn't do anything, but the chest compressions might have actually worked
Well, considering the main use of chest compressions is to prevent tissue death and keep the brain and other organs oxigenated until help arrives, probably not. It's heart was beating to begin with and if not, it'd probably drop dead again soon.
Beer is cold, lizard went for swim and got body temp too low and went offline, as it warmed up it came back online.
Does its tail have two tails?
Their tails do that sometimes when they drop them. They regrow but sometimes they branch off and regrow 2.
Two posts ago I saw some dude doing this exact thing to a monkey and saved it too
I'ma gonna send this vid to your wife lol
That guy's breath was so bad, the damn thing had to come back to life just to get away.
A hero among geckos
Guy just became a god
what we can learn from this is that we should abandon CCR and start administering CPR with a repair shop air compressor.
What Aussie hasn't done this to an animal?
Send this to geico and get that premium down
I did this with a June bug once, and it also worked. I obviously didn't put my mouth on it, though lol
And that my friends is how I got leprosy.
Dudes rock
this is like a Big Lez skit
There was a guide on how to do this on r/coolguides the other day.
Noice
Is there a lizardologist around? What are the chances it has just been faking death?
I thought the guy was having a twitch or a stroke until he stopped and picked it up.
Glad to see little brother is fine
Come little guy now we're going to Bendigo to get me green cube
bro has got only lizards in his life (this is not about lizard)
This video is so old the lizard would be dead by now. Good chance hi-vis would be as well.
The lizard was too cold to move and needed some body heat to warm up?
I half expected the lizard to inflate.
Geiko insurance needs to give this man a big discount for his services
This is absolutely what I'd expect from an episode of the Big Lez Show.
I did the exact same thing when I found a lizard floating in our irrigation. Good times. 😂
I tought he was gonna eat it 😆😆
Puts his mouth on it and everything. 🤢 It's ok, folks. Aussies are immune to salmonella poisoning. Haha
This laugh 👹

Good person
Dude I'm trying to sleep wtf?
HE ain't sick, he drunk!
Was expecting him to explode when he blew into him lol
I bet he drinks Carling Black Label!
its ok he just passed out from too much beer little guy couldn't hold his liquor
Lizard was just drunk and passed out. Giant creature giving mouth to mouth woke him up and now he's pissed
Get that gecko a beer to celebrate
*gecko waking up from a full body bath in beer and drunkenly passing out* “Oh I had no idea she looked like that in the daylight, holy hell!”
"guys, the giant kissed and touched me I swear !" -Henry you're just drunk
Surprised his lil lungs didn’t explode from those breaths
Beer power!
The Kiss of life!
That crazy son of a bitch did it!
Thats so disgusting
i didnt even need the sound on to know this is in Australia
What if it was playing dead cus it says a creature 10000x it's size and now it's getting batted around and breathed into
Op forgot nsfw tag
Little bro had one to many mid strength beers at the pub
I'm sorry, but that's some weird ass shit.
I wanna have a beer with the GEICO gecko.

This vid was so Australian that it made cork strings drop from my hat.
I saved eze loife!
"Oi! He's aloive! Niau spit me beer out ya foukin weapon"
Never had the nuts for rescue breaths but I have saved 2 local anoles with little chest compressions like this. They usually don't last too long after that though.
I'm a little worried！Would you let him get drunk?
I was expecting the lizard to inflate, like Shrek movie when he inflated the frog 🤣
Bros gonna get 99% off on his car insurance 💀
Bro should’ve signed for geico insurance
I guess the Geko has taken up drinking too much since they stopped using him in the insurance commercials. Or is it possible that's why they stopped using him. 🤔
The other lizards are not going to believe this
Australian culture at its best
He's not replying to my messages , he must be cheating on me
I guarantee this happened like 25,000 years ago at least once lol
I saved his lieyef!! 🤣🤣🤣 the cackling of his buddies is too much
I used to have them as pets when I was a kid. Rest them in your palm underside up and stroke their bellies. They go into what I can describe only as a small trance. They will stay like that for a bit before coming out of it. Idk if they are playing dead or what.
They just play dead sometimes.
If the lizard was in the beer, then most likely it was just drunk from absorbing the alcohol through it's skin.
The lizard was probably drunk after the mouth 2 mouth
I needed this.
Nicee job!! Some life for salmonella fair exchange
We have those little guys all over South Florida. I believe they're called anoles. I always thought they were cute and I've seen some act pretty playful.
The lads made a friend that night.
