A video shot in Australia shows why you should never irritate a street performer

A tourist trying to aggravate a living statue performer has been taught a valuable lesson in a viral video posted on Friday, March 15.

*User discretion is advised, as the video contains a display of violent behavior which may offend.

The joker starring in the video received a memorable punch to the face that has earned this clip over 5 million YouTube views so far.

The man was trying to annoy the Australian performer, his skin and clothes covered in silver paint and posing as a statue.

Statues aren't supposed to move, so one annoying tourist thought that that he could mess with his cowboy hat, touch his nose, and ears, and even give him a wet willie and get away with it.

I guess it was that last willie that sent the street performer over the edge, and it seems like the tourist wound up seriously hurt.
