This is perhaps the best thing I’ve seen: a list of the reasons David Banner turned into the Hulk in the classic television series.
Some of my favorites?
16. Being hit with a blast of steam in the face while trying to turn off the nuclear reactor that is melting down
19. Being pushed down a mountainside by a bigfoot impersonator
29. Having two mean football players snap wet towels at him and shove him into the steam room which they have turned on to full blast
52. Locked in a drunk tank with a crazy person who insists he is Ernest Hemingway and then beats the stuffing out of David
61. Being stuck in a cabin that the police are turning into swiss cheese with their shotguns, even though he and the pregnant woman have no guns and have waved the white flag, only to have the police bullets start a fire in the cabin, etc., etc.
64. Being rear-ended fifteen times in a row by a mean bully with a bigger car than his
75. Beaten up by all the other prisoners in the work camp, in the middle of the night while he is trying to sleep, when he emphatically told them not to beat him up that particular night
88. Hit in the face with a high powered beebee gun, which causes him to fall over the balcony and plunge 40 feet into the seats below
90. Being hit by a car and knocked twenty feet so that he tumbles down a conveniently open manhole
112. While paralyzed for the episode, somehow getting caught in the middle of a barroom brawl, and while trying to quietly wheel himself out of the room, being hit by a flying body and knocked down the stairs (what David is even doing in such a situation goes unexplained)
