Lol, this Josh dude really thinks a week is Sunday-Sunday. So does that mean every Sunday is part of two different weeks?

Oh shit, more people join in. Does the dumb bodybuilder meme have a grain of truth?

I’m quite sure the artist is winning that one. He’s riling up so many people by just repeating a single phrase.

Like, anyone who thinks he’s serious is really not yet fit for the Internet.

It’s my favorite argumentative tactic. I’ve been in a months long debate with youtube losers about whether one of every Pokemon would beat 1,000,000,000 (one billion) lions

Years ago, on IMDb, a poster called rabbitmoon kept a thread going for years on the Rambo board that is still the best I’ve ever seen.

The whole thing started with him posting that he was shocked when, about a third of the way through the movie, there was a scene in which a character was shot with a bullet from a gun. Then he countered, completely earnestly and deadpan, every response he got.

The original thread is long gone, and the only thing I could find of it is an excerpt that was posted on Reddit - LINK

The IMDB forums should have been protected by UNESCO. I will not elaborate.

It gets better every time

During this film, there is a scene where for a few frames, a person is depicted as having been shot, by a bullet from a gun to the chest.

And he definitely dies as a result of being shot.

The sheer amount of people replying to the guy, completely oblivious to sarcasm.
It’s a shame it’s gone because it went on for much longer than what’s in the reddit post.

Yeah - I used to check in on it from time to time, and there were always new responses, and new people trying to argue with him, and he’d just run them in circles with hilariously overly literal (mis)interpretations of whatever they said. It went on for years.

I’m pretty sure I remember the admin deleting part of it while it was still active, and eventually deleting it entirely. It’s a shame - it should’ve been saved for posterity.

That was hilarious! I don’t have an argument but reading through that reminded me of 2 older forum posts. A little off topic but here:

  1. I put on my wizard hat and robe

  2. The Bobbit Worm Chronicles

Haha, bloodninja was a legendary troll.

Invertebrates give me the ick, so I hope you don’t mind me not clicking that one lol.

If you enjoyed that video, many of the creators videos are hilarious.

I highly recommend the one about the highest scoring American football game of all time (it’s over 200).

If there’s any invertebrate that should make people uncomfortable, it’s fucking bobbit worms. They are nightmares given form

Just a worm that eats fish. I think they’re probably the most interesting creature in many saltwater aquariums.

The Bobbit Worm Chronicals in article form, complete with an interview.

I have to say, I totally would buy a 5 ft long bobbit worm in a pet store, even without an epic backstory.

That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.

I think some people could think it’s not satire but that’s because there is a rule saying “we are not satire”. Guess what? That rule is satire too

I refuse to believe TD was ever insincere. I think sane people are just unfamiliar with how willfully stupid fascists sound as a form of cover.

The leader of the KKK refers to themselves as wizards and dragons.

They make themselves look like clowns by design. It’s a long-standing tradition among fascists and people still fall for it to this day.
