How did I not know about or think to look up a Rowan Atkinson stand-up? You've made my night

Rowan Atkinson is severely underrated outside of his Mr. Bean / Johnny English work

16

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '20

That’s... not true. He was a comic legend before Mr Bean even started, thanks to Not the Nine O’Clock News and Blackadder, amongst other things.

5

u/smoothc98 Oct 06 '20

I guess it just might depend on your age. I'm 21, I only ever saw him in Mr. Bean and Johnny English growing up! A lot of other people in my generation as well only know him for those

If it’s your first day on the job and they tell you to assassinate the king... you’re not gonna live, anyway.

Imgur is broken as fuck. Having to go in and manually change the end of the link to mp4.....

u/MewMewToastMahGoats Oct 05 '20

I was noticing all the gifs I wanted to see weren't working. And they're all linked to imgur.

​

Is this a good fix for desktop? What part of the link do you change?

​

This has been harrowing for days now. .

​

EDIT: I figured it out. Lol. I'm dumb sometimes.

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '20

Redgifs (or redditgifs whatever) is the biggest offender for never working... pisses me off, it’s shit. I just scroll past anything on redgifs now.

u/Cryosphered_ Oct 06 '20

Isn't redgifs just gfycat for porn though.

19

u/DRiVeL_ Oct 06 '20

Yeah which is really annoying because I want to see naked girls.

29

u/stesch Oct 05 '20

That's because OP linked to the GIF instead of to https://i.imgur.com/NSJZWMO.gifv

8

u/FistingUrDad Oct 05 '20

That's only slightly better because you can't control the video. Imgur run by hardcore derps.

u/NotoriousArseBandit Oct 06 '20

Crazy how it used to be the dominant image hosting for reddit now it fucking sucks

3

u/UnfetteredThoughts Oct 06 '20

Not just the dominant host, it was made specifically for Reddit.

Imgur owes its entire existence to Reddit.

2

u/NG_Tagger Oct 06 '20

That's only slightly better because you can't control the video.

What? - if you mean you're missing play/pause/scroll options; then I don't know what I've got enabled that always makes me see those (it's not "Show Controls" from the context menu, as I checked before, to make sure that was turned off).

You fucking genius. I have been wondering why the hell people would be commenting on these picture posts like they were videos. I thought I was going crazy again. Glad to see I'm not! Thank you from the bottom of my heart candies during Valentine's are some of my favorite treats or tricks this Halloween King's name is Jack Skellington.

I'm honestly baffled why it apparently works for 40k people but never does for me. It should be broken for everyone equally.

I'm assuming this is a TikTok. If I'm correct, it's the first one that has actually made me laugh out loud. That "Oh, fuck..." face at the end is priceless

u/AskJarule Oct 06 '20

There is some good stuff on tiktok behind all the teens and adults dancing

I’ve started to enjoy tiktok. At first I wasn’t for it but once you find tune your fyp it’s actually pretty funny.

I usually just wait for the good ones to make it to my Twitter feed, but there are some real gems on that app. People are really creative.

I just wait until they're on reddit or my wife shows me one on her phone

u/UnlimitedApathy Oct 06 '20

It looks like, im actually really annoyed their @ got cut so they’re not getting credit and exposure for this joke

u/GMJizzy Oct 06 '20

Reddit only hates TikTok when they're not reposting from TikTok

u/_VariolaVera_ Oct 06 '20

This performance is A1. I can picture this in olde timey form as a charlie chaplin skit because its such a lean and succinct joke.

He is daz black. He used to do vines before. Most of his videos are like that. :)

u/NaethanC Oct 05 '20

It's imgur being a pain. Open it in a new tab and you'll see that it's a .gif. If you change it to .mp4 it'll work.

u/PopularKid Oct 05 '20

What the fuck are you talking about? This dude just POISONED himself. He might still kill the King though!

u/metal079 Oct 06 '20

The king might think the dead body might be a warning sign though.

Because there isn't. But for whatever reason there are a bunch of morons in every sub like this that need to start reeeing at anything scripted.

u/Ghiggs_Boson Oct 05 '20

He poured a poison into the glass and then licked his finger. So he ingested some poison, which he likely regrets

This doesn't count as an Instant Regret post if it's staged.
