Men. Men, men, men... men. Quick to anger, slow to apologise, never happier than when they're talking 0ver someone in a meeting and still absolutely hellbent on dominating as much lower limb public transport real estate as possible.

It might be 2017, 12 months that felt something like the start of progress, but men can still be absolute men when they want to be.

Which is why we've decided to round-up the year's angriest moments involving (you guessed it) men falling foul of the pouting, petulance and booze-addled retro red mist that's made us laugh, wince and wince while laughing.

Bob Katter Hates Crocodiles

youtubeView full post on Youtube

Who is he?

72-year-old Australian MP, Bob Katter.

Why is he so angry?

Haven't you heard? Enough about gay marriage being legalised in Australia and people being entitled to their sexual proclivities, because every three months a person is being torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland!

What begins as a good-naturedly bumbling response towards a historic moment in Australian justice quickly turns sour as storm clouds descend behind the eyes of Bob Katter as he is reminded of his mortal enemy: the North Queensland crocodile.

Dennis Jedson Vs The Moon

Who is he?

Dennis Jedson, a man who went viral through a Facebook post.

Why is he so angry?

It's the moon, he's fucking sick of it. Get rid of it. Or at least get rid of all the nuclear waste on earth by storing it on the moon... until it melts.

See, sometimes anger can be channeled towards the greater good. Like when it's used to hatch a plan that will get rid of the moon, once and for all.

The Warrior King of Royal Ascot

Who is he?

An unnamed bouncing egg of a man who tried to fight the world at Royal Ascot this year.

Why is he so angry?

We have no idea. Someone stole his chair? Or his bottle of pink Bollinger? Or his wife told him that she's leaving him for Mike, because he's just set up his own roofing business and it's going really well? Or... wait a minute, where's his shirt? Why do some men want to take their shirts off when they're really angry?

What's the deal with that?

Fight on you big beautiful bouncy egg.

Fight on.

Gennaro Gattuso

Who is he?

Current A.C. Milan manager, Gennaro Gattuso. A former club legend who specialises in breaking ankles and dishing out bollockings of Pompeii proportions.

Why is he so angry?

Well, he's always been angry, but the reason he's so incandescent this time is because he's just realised that he manages A.C. Milan, a club that are sometimes maybe far more shit than good nowadays.

Men React To 'Cat Person'

Who Are They?

Every Twitter egg who thought that the viral short story about a young woman's modern dating experience, written Kristen Roupenian for the New Yorker, was either.

A) A personal essay.

B) A direct affront to men, because: "I would never do that."

Why are they so angry?

Because they are the same kinds of eggs who screamed "So that means I can't flirt with anyone at work anymore!?" when women spoke out about harassment in the workplace.

This Angry Goose

Who is he?

A goose that absolutely despises one member of the Indiana police department.

Why is he so angry?

While technically not a man, this furious goose's rage and undiluted quest to exact it on a member of the establishment who is, more likely than not, stepping on his turf, is the kind of fury that we can all get behind after what's been a fairly stressful year.

Fergus Beeley Dishing Out Citizens Arrests Like It's Christmas

Who is he?

Ex-BBC television producer Fergus Beeley, who, for 272 glorious seconds, lived out the middle class, midlife crisis-suffering male dream of bringing strangers who have caused him a small amount of inconvenience to justice. Justice that included, but was not exclusive to, calling a woman "An old sl*t", trying to perform a citizen's arrest on an 11-year-old child and telling a family to "Put your hands on the car and prepare to die!"

Why is he so angry?

A life of quiet desperation. That or he's just a wanker.

Jose Mourinho, But Covered In Milk

Who is he?

Jose Mourinho, Manchester United manager, shuffling madman, notorious crybaby and the kind of guy who does full-pitch knee slides when his team win, but will blame Fifa, the wind, the ghost of Louis Van Gaal and the crocodiles of North Queensland when they lose, which they did against Manchester City recently.

Why is he so angry?

Because Manchester City waltzed into Old Trafford, beat United to extend their winning run to 14 consecutive games and then celebrated so loudly in the away dressing room that Jose Mourinho stormed in demanding "Respect", which lead to a fight, which lead to a Manchester City player throwing milk all over Mourinho.

*Sheds a single tear.

Beautiful, beautiful karma.

The Legend of Margate

Who is he?

A man from Margate, a coastal town in Kent with a population of around 61,000, who found himself in London Bridge tube station on a Monday screaming "I'm a fucking legend" at all and sundry. Before getting tasered, falling to the cold hard ground of the big city like the careers of a million entry-level Canary Wharf recruitment grunts and then crawling home... to Margate.

Why is he so angry?

He has been broken by London. His humanity crushed by the commute, the poisoned air, the distance from Margate, the menial work, packaged sandwiches and the sadness and weight of just being. This was the swan song of his soul before it burst into a million tiny pieces and rained down on the grey waters and quiet streets. Of Margate.

This is what losing it all looks like.
