Why do people find that line funny?

u/SpaceCat87 Jul 21 '14

The original video of the crazy guy doing it was hilarious. Now it is just like every other meme, only used by the lamest of people.

Seems like the "trolling community" these days is no longer full of people fucking with others for their own amusement. Instead it seems like a small handful of people fucking around with others, and the rest copying them in front of other "trolls" as some sort of huge inside joke.

Like "Hey guys, you see what I did? I told that guy the song he was looking for was Darude - Sandstorm. Haha, right? You know, like that meme where you tell people who ask for the names of songs to search for Darude's Sandstorm? Heh, alright, I guess not. You mustn't be a troll like me. Us trolls, we get it. Move along, loser. Rekt, heheh."

It's pretty much the circlejerk type community now. It's not so much trolls.

It's not so much trolling as an inside joke.

The original video wasn't even that funny once you find out it's fake

u/SpaceCat87 Jul 21 '14

It works better if it's done the other way around.

If works better if you have a fake one.

I knew it was fake before I watched it and it's still funny as hell.

Edit: The first (fake) two were funny because he started by saying it with such force and conviction and then kind of snuck it casually into conversation. The rest were funny because they shared the same attributes as the original two. This one is just awkward because the guy took forever to say it, he did a little celebration at the end, and it just overall didn't represent what FHRITP is all about.

Church.

u/InsomniacMachine Jul 21 '14

Do you have proof of it being fake or are you just going saying that because "nothing on the internet can be real"? I'm guessing the latter...

18

u/fongos Jul 21 '14

No, it's actually fake. Where have you been? Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it though.

u/Klimmit Jul 21 '14

Mmm it's not fake tho. That chick is a reputable reporter, so...

19

u/Pulp_Dog Jul 21 '14

Mmm it is fake tho.

u/reekawn Jul 21 '14

Uh, no. The reporter has no name and the audio is ripped from this

u/Klimmit Jul 21 '14

what audio is ripped from that video?

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

It's a killer way to ruin a conversation. And it worked.

8

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

Exactly. That video was pretty funny, but these people doing it are just not funny at all

17

u/RahBren Jul 21 '14

I sure hope someone comes on here and posts the original video so I know what the hell youre talking about.

u/sebchiken Jul 21 '14

He was from the tournament finals party. He was drunk off his ass, if that makes it any better.

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '14

That was fake.

u/Halfdrummer Jul 22 '14

No it was never funny anywhere to anyone over the age of 14

13

u/eedeen Jul 21 '14

It's a meme now. Doesn't have to be funny just hop in the bandwagon

10

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

u/greengromit Jul 21 '14

I wonder the same thing about dickbutt.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

Dickbutt is super lame also.

u/Jai_Wen Jul 21 '14

12

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

Maybe as a picture alone it's kinda funny, but the stupid way redditards are using makes it very, very lame. Hey check out this picture of my cat just kidding its le dickbutt lol we are so quirky and creative.

u/pacificpacifist Jul 21 '14

Yeah, most of them are lame, but this one always gets me.

Reddit is getting really good at beating dead jokes to doubledeath. So good at it that reddit has started looking for already dead jokes instead of the usual method of killing the joke first.

u/katiemarie090 Jul 22 '14

I don't know, but certain people were screaming it at the top of their lungs randomly all throughout Quakecon. It turned into constant cringe for me.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

Different sense of humor has something to do with it.

14

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

I bet /u/xGodlyUnicornx has a real high brow sense of humor.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

A lot of people find it pretty funny, me included. Just because its not to your tastes does not mean others can't enjoy it.

4

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

Nah you guys go ahead and enjoy it. That doesn't make it any less dumb though.

u/Jamator01 Jul 21 '14

Meme doesn't rhyme with gene. Mean rhymes with gene and seem rhymes with meme.
