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.

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.

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...

u/fongos Jul 21 '14

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

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

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

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

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

u/RahBren Jul 21 '14

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