NO, IT DIDNT!

[–]sirarkane 12 points13 points ago

i wouldn't even say escalated. perhaps staired or handicap ramped.

[–]Isthiscreativeenough 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, I'd say this was definitely an inclined plane, and at a pretty small angle too.

[–]xnerdyxrealistx 36 points37 points ago

Actually that escalated at a rather lackadaisical pace

[–]star_witness 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, a more accurate title would be "It eventually got to a predictable punchline."

[–]electrolemon 92 points93 points ago

JUST BE CREATIVE WITH YOUR TITLES FOR ONCE

[–]Evantron 30 points31 points ago

"This gem just popped into my newsfeed"

[–]Canvasch 13 points14 points ago

I found this facebook gold studded with le gems.

[–]MoreWhiskeyPls 12 points13 points ago

"Today's my cake day" - I still don't understand that. Now if you've been sober for a year after an addiction, or traveled the world etc, than those are real accomplishments. Otherwise, who gives a flying fuck.

[–]Uberninjaa 10 points11 points ago

Not sure if repost but... PUPPIES!

[–]DELTATKG 10 points11 points ago

NOT SURE IF REPOST, BUT REPOST.

[–]IronOxide42 4 points5 points ago

clears throat

DAE GEM GEM GEM.

[–]star_witness 2 points3 points ago

I was going to reply to the OP saying "Your title Is bad and you should feel bad", but then realized that I would only be adding to the problem

And then I posted this.

And then I had a cookie. But it had raisins instead of chocolate chips.

[–]electrolemon 37 points38 points ago

what a hilarious and original joke about michael jackson, do you know when your friend ryan's comedy special is going to be airing

[–]only-for-throwaway 0 points1 point ago

This post is so old that Michael Jackson was still alive when it was first created.

[–]TreeRifik 14 points15 points ago

Downvote for sub-par title.

[–]djissac 14 points15 points ago

BOY!

[–]slow56k 100 points101 points ago

The humor is, at best, a 5/10

Minus two for terrible, overused title

Minus one for FB

Overall, 2/10, would not bacon again

[–]basedom 52 points53 points ago

this comment is, at best, a 5/10

Minus two for terrible overused bacon

Minus one for FB

Overall 2/10, would not upvote

[–]Roboticide 19 points20 points ago

this comment is, at best 5/10

Minus two for just reusing the previous comment

Plus three for nevertheless pointing out the original's flaws with their own methods

Overall 6/10, would not vote.

[–]JohnScribbles 21 points22 points ago

WHO THE FUCK TAUGHT YOU ALL MATH?

[–]anthereddit 44 points45 points ago

This comment is, at best, 5/10

Minus two for all caps

Minus four for getting the math wrong yourself

Overall 10/10 would bang

[–]DirtyPresley 12 points13 points ago

4/5 dentists prefer fractions.

[–]Roboticide 3 points4 points ago

I think we're by default starting at 5.

So, 5-2=3+3=6. So 6/10. Problem?

[–]Tom_Z 2 points3 points ago

The judges were also not impressed with the severe pixelation.

[–]Captain_Gnardog 0 points1 point ago

I'd probably subtract the last two points for reposting such a subpar screenshot.

[–]IM_ACTUALLY_A_BEAR 1 point2 points ago

-1 for misquoting. it's "boy" NOT "well"

[–]Anshin 1 point2 points ago

I'd subtract another point as the title doesn't go well with the image

[–]ImAzura 0 points1 point ago

Minus that last 2 because all the living things listed are red on the inside, new papers have colour here, and old movies are in black, white, and every shade in between, some are even in colour. Wizard of Oz is an old movie, and that had colour in it? As for Oreos, not black, but a very dark brown.

[–]string97bean 10 points11 points ago

Actually, it took a rather long time to get to inappropriate.

[–]whatlauradid 20 points21 points ago

You keep using that meme, I do not think it memes what you think it memes.

[–]azboy11 2 points3 points ago

You know what else is white on top and black on the bottom? Society

(Anti-jokes)

[–]Thisisacoolname 4 points5 points ago

No. It didn't. Stop saying this, people.

[–]97bluelights 4 points5 points ago

The amount of reposts and unoriginal titles today? Yes, yes it did.

[–]burtsbeesfanatic 5 points6 points ago

How the hell is this getting upvoted? Not only is it the mother of all reposts, the post itself is neither funny nor clever.

[–]Lurkerhereduh 5 points6 points ago

BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY BOY

Pleasant.

[–]TheCocksmith 0 points1 point ago

You with your technically correct facts.....

[–]incandesantlite 0 points1 point ago

Technically Barack Obama is too

[–]star_witness 0 points1 point ago

When I read "Zorilla" I figured I'd be getting some kind of gorilla/zebra hybrid.

I'm disappointed.

[–]unconfidentbeauty 1 point2 points ago

But, If You're Thinkin' About My Baby It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White!

[–]thesplendor 0 points1 point ago

No, it did not escalate quickly. If anything, it escalated rather slowly, but really it didn't escalate at all.

[–]The_Last_Melon14 -1 points0 points ago

Also:

Black and white pants Black an white shirts Hair that is dyed black and white A house painted black and white The NBA... Just kidding! that's just black

[–]CrazyBluePrime 0 points1 point ago

That escalated slowly at best.

[–]Lord_Bumberchute 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of those Faxes that people used to send from office to office, thinking the stuff was hilarious and warranted the use of the technology to share such a thing.

[–]jhc1415 0 points1 point ago

When was the last time these people saw a newspaper? Last I checked newspapers were not just black and white.

[–]The_Alex_ 0 points1 point ago

That was actually pretty level to me.

[–]blast73 1 point2 points ago

The title does not fit at all, how did this get to the front page? No offense op

[–]floralmuse 1 point2 points ago

I'd have gone straight to Barack Obama

[–]enki1337 0 points1 point ago

Michael Jackson

That one doesn't matter if he's black or white.

[–]raikkonen 1 point2 points ago

This was reposted quickly.

[–]theGreenDay95 1 point2 points ago

so fucking old already

[–]hereticjones 0 points1 point ago

Who the fuck still has a blackberry?

[–]_CitizenSnips_ 0 points1 point ago

it hate it when people leave stupidly vague depressing comments about their personal lives on facebook like this one. It made it so much funnier that every single person responded with things that are exactly contrary to her status.

[–]boppy28 0 points1 point ago

I expected to see Obama, not Michael Jackson.

[–]bobob102 0 points1 point ago

Ryan's pic looks like Boba Fett.

[–]_CitizenSnips_ 0 points1 point ago

all the comments are people complaining about the meme name and how they are gonna downvote, somehow meme still does pretty well on karma

[–]MittensFX 1 point2 points ago

Well, that reposted quickly.

[–]luroqt 1 point2 points ago

This has quickly lost its comical value thanks to people like you.

[–]Spicer_MTL 0 points1 point ago

Seems like an acceptable escalation rate.

[–]xKangaroo30 0 points1 point ago

I don't know what part of this submission makes me more peeved. The reposted, old, and unfunny facebook status, or the title you have chosen.

[–]unit2244 0 points1 point ago
