(Where are the iguanas in that story? Where are the bath salts?) These are the Florida Men of 2015, the best-in-show, a motley crew united only by geography and an uncanny ability to accomplish very weird, very illegal things.Īll of the following should be treated as allegations and reports, not settled fact. To merely attack an airplane crew because they won't let you vape is not enough to earn you a place here.

The Florida Men assembled here have gone above and beyond the call of duty, reaching new frontiers of swamp criminality. The bar is set even higher for this list, however.

Almost any crime committed on the World's Craziest Peninsula™ has at least one of these features, but a true Florida Man combines a number of them to create an act of delinquency that simply could not have occurred anywhere else. An authentic Florida Man incident should involve some, if not all, of the following: boneheaded criminal schemes, an outrageous disregard for common decency, unconventional encounters with police, nunchucks, public and/or outlandish sex acts, alligators and/or other reptiles, large-scale robberies of undesirable goods, Tasers, bizarre supernatural beliefs, and of course, rampant drug use.
