Video: Just A Couple of Douchebags Hiking Runyon Canyon (NSFW)

Runyon - watch more funny videos
True story: Last night as I was leaving the gym, a guy asked me if the place was full of people who are full of themselves. "I don't think it's high in the douchey factor," I qualified. As it turns out, if this Funny or Die video is spoofily accurate, all the douchebaggy dudes in L.A. have ditched the gym in favor of Runyon Canyon.
These dudes abuse the word "dude," along with "fuck" and "sorta," and one may or may not have raped his girlfriend (Hilar or too far? Your call). Besides their sexy physiques, workout regimens, and estranged girlfriends, these asshat dudes also discuss the miracle of coconut water: "That shit's mad refreshing, bro."
Do you work out with these dudes up at Runyon?
