This one was funny, but I'm surprised that these kinds of shows don't have negative outcome more often. Many people are unpredictable when they are scared and often act irrationally.

Irrationally... but instinctively. The reactions are predictable for a large majority of the time. 

You see, back when humans lived in the savannas it was well imprinted in their brains, due to evolution, the way they would react when faced with situations... well, not like this, but the whole thing of being afraid of the dark, being scared of noises and so on existed exactly so we could survive instead of walking fearlessly and stupidly towards an apex predator. Most of times, as you can imagine due to our size next to them, we survived by getting afraid and running the fuck away. That's why "flight or fight" usually is "flight" when we are met with an unknown threat.
