The most ridiculous reason Banner turned into the Hulk


Anyone remember the episode where David Banner is using a payphone and the operator won't put him through because he doesn't have the correct change? Well, you can you imagine, the operator's intransigence doesn't go over well with David, and his resulting rage transforms him into the -- you guessed it -- Hulk.

It was a ridiculous reason when you look at it just from that standpoint, but there was a woman possibly being murdered/beaten just a few feet away from him and he was trying to get a hold of the police and the operator was being impossible and stressing him out. All the while he's hearing a woman being assaulted across from where he was ontop of dealing with an operator who was annoying.

He really didn't change from not having enough change but from the stress of trying to save a womans life and get through to the police but was being denied.

That was from the first season. Yeah. I remember that. It's kind of funny when you think about how that sort of thing happens today. Like when you use 411 and say, "Wal Mart." and it says, "Did you say, Wal Greens?" and you say angrily, "No WAAAAAL MAAAART!" and it says, "I'm sorry! I didn't get that. Say again?" Though most of the time I use it and that happens it immediately transfers me to a representative.

Well there was that time when he hulked out after catching his wang in his pants zipper. But that ones completely understandable. That hurts like hell!
