It'd be nice if the royal guards could use their bayonets on people who jump the fence. There definitely needs to be some deterrent from fucking with the guards.

Well, thing is they can if they deemed him a threat.
The guy filming is very lucky. If he did something a guard perceived as trying anything they could have stabbed him right there; they still went with a route of caution so they didn't stab a guy who was just being a shithead.
@1:39 "fock. off."
I'm an American and these guys are among the last people on Earth I'd want to fuck with. They're guarding the Queen, which means they probably earned that privilege. Which means that they're probably certifiable badasses who could gut you with a toothpick. I wouldn't want to give them any excuse.
It's a bit silly that they have to stomp the ground and walk like a robot to make people walk away.

worst part is most of the time tourist groups will laugh at them as though they are a literal laughing stock when they point their automatic weapons at them; screaming orders.

If I ever went to the UK I wouldn't even want to see these fellas, not at all.
They probably get loads of tourists from all over coming to do stupid things.
I wouldn't even look up if I happened to walk by them, just go on about my business, bet they get lots of stares too.
Iirc all Queens guards are veteran service personnel with a number of tours under their belts
So yes, please don't fuck with them
Have incidents ever happened?

Scratch this, this was faked.
But yes, there are incidents
I didn't know they had a protocol for responding to harrassment that's that rigid (the way they move the guns around and move really stilted when yelling at him), I figured that if you just got them mad enough they'd be free to deal with you as they saw fit.

Fortunately, they are highly trained and extremely disciplined due to all of the annoying tourists fucking with them for "funny" snapchats and Facebook likes!

It's really weird trying to imagine them dealing with a clear and present danger to their lives. Like they're kept in their very public positions and patrols for the ceremony of it all, to present the image of this cream-of-the-cream perfectly disciplined guard force, an image which discourages opposition and serves as a symbol for their nation--but as stated above, they're also combat-experienced veterans who must be trained to respond to any and all threats to the grounds and the people within it.
I would love to know where they draw the line, if at all, that distinguishes, "This is a deadly threat that must be neutralized, therefore drop the formal, practiced motions and respond as a fully mobile and capable defender of the Queen and her country." Obviously any legitimate danger would warrant police mobilization and probably SCO19 and/or CTSFOs, but what would the Guard do?
I feel so bad for the Royal Guards. Imagine how bad it must feel to be harassed and messed with every day.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;52956064]No guns, these are actors[/QUOTE]
wait, what? all those in the video are fake?
Whoever started the idea that royal guards can't respond in any way if you fuck with them has managed to fuck with countless royal guards over the course of decades

I've had the privilege to travel the world and live in various countries. One thing that pisses me off to no end is people who visit other countries and they do stuff like this.
I find it pretty disrespectful to the host country, the servicemen themselves, and overall its just shows how much of a ignorant ass people are. I'm by no means perfect and don't always know the cultural norms, but I always try and do some research and be as respectful as possible. I feel like the country I'm in is my host and I'm a guest. I usually get a lot of respect back in that regard and always have had a good time or had people go above and beyond to help me or hook me up.
Seeing videos like this one piss me off. These servicemen, they're professional soldiers, and ultimately have a job to do. Their job is important, it is serious, and takes a lot of discipline. Show some respect, you wouldn't want some ignorant person to come into your work place and start shit with you. So why do it to others? It also doesn't help I've had a lot of family members in the British Army or Royal Marines.

Sorry about the clickbait thumbnail and title.

Nope they're just a normal Regiment with an emphasis on silly walks and highly polished boots, there's five variatys of them and if you join the army you can pick to join whichever one you want I'd recommend you stick with your regional one though, if you choose to join the Guards at all that is
Some of them will have done tours but as those people phase out the new blokes won't of done squat
man the first clip reminded me of oblivion so much
