Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

Ehyyyyyy fatty lady!

[–]handsNfeetRmangos 212 points213 points ago

Nom. Nom Nom. Nom. Eat them Gangnam fries.

[–]abledanger 34 points35 points ago

If I don't see this video by the end of the day, I'll be very disappointed.

[–]pantsfactory 26 points27 points ago

I heard rumours PSY is trying to find someone to write/perform an english version of Gangnam Style for western radio... so there's that, I guess?

[–]Battletooth 15 points16 points ago

But doesn't he speak fluent English?

[–]pantsfactory 25 points26 points ago

well, I wouldn't say, fluent. Besides, it'd probably only bolster ratings if he paired up with LMFAO or some well-known english group/artist, right?

[–]Battletooth 17 points18 points ago

I would actually love to have him team up with LMFAO.

I asked because I wasn't sure about his fluency. I see he holds conversations very well in every interview. I don't see him stuttering or using incorrect words or really pausing when interviewing.

Now I've only seen a couple interviews so my sample size is rather limited.

Either way, to get a non-English song playing on American radios that play primarily English songs is pretty impressive. The only exceptions I've heard are where a line or two is in a different language. In this song, it's a line or two that's in English. I'm not counting Mexican stations playing songs in Spanish etc.

[–]Fletch71011 6 points7 points ago

Macarena, 99 Luftballons

[–]quarktheduck 2 points3 points ago

I was under the impression that 99 Luftballons was very popular around Europe, but 99 Red Balloons was the version that got really popular in the US, so I don't think that one would count.

[–]juggalonumber27 4 points5 points ago

[–]Battletooth 0 points1 point ago

This makes me so happy and so sad because I live in Vegas and never heard about this. Holy shit I can't believe I missed it.

[–]juggalonumber27 0 points1 point ago

well, if it's any consolation, keeping track of everything that goes down in vegas would drive you insane

[–]weiga 6 points7 points ago

I thought LMFAO is no more.

[–]hakkzpets[!] 1 point2 points ago

They played at Tomorrowland late of July at least.

[–]lizzindc 13 points14 points ago

They broke up like last week, so it's pretty recent.

[–]weiga 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I guess they're not breaking up, but taking a break for the near future.

[–]VajayjayLeno 1 point2 points ago

I wouldn't say fluid either.

It would be the wrong word.

[–]Carlo_The_Magno 0 points1 point ago

If I were /u/unnecessaryphilology, I'd go into detail about how fluent and fluid come from the same Latin word.

[–]thehollowman84 1 point2 points ago

I thought he studied in the US?

[–]FalconHunter 1 point2 points ago

Except LMFAO called it quits last week.

[–]Koopslovestogame 1 point2 points ago

they need to get that "FEAT" guy that's on all the songs these days.

[–]Rohasfin 1 point2 points ago

He did undergrad work at university in Boston, then graduated from the music college at Berkeley, California... so... I'd sure hope so.

[–]linkgirl 3 points4 points ago

Actually, he attended Berklee College of Music, located in Boston, Massachusetts.

[–]Rohasfin 1 point2 points ago

Ah, imperfect memory. Thanks for the correction.

[–]0ldGregg 5 points6 points ago

I heard the song on the radio in Seattle this week, so maybe he won't have to outsource. I wonder how it would be translated. The meaning is more than simply a party anthem, but stems from Korean culture. Its already only a vapid party song to people who don't know the meaning, but Id hate to see a US version that boils it down to something as empty as the binge drinking instructions US radio typically promotes to fame.

[–]diizeru 2 points3 points ago

Personally, I think that'd be the worst possible thing. It reminds me of when Rammstein was at their height, and they released an English version of "Du Hast." The lyrics sounded "cool" in German, but awful in English.

[–]linkgirl 0 points1 point ago

I agree! It'd be 99 Luftballons all over again. Or Rock Me, Amadeus. Some songs just sound more interesting and exotic when you can't understand the words.

[–]pantsfactory 1 point2 points ago

have you read the translated lyrics for Gangnam Style? They're pretty smart, I think they could be translated to english and still retain their meaning, it's not a totally mindless pop song and is actually a bit of a jab at the materialistic trendy girls of Korea- as the song says, PSY loves the gals who will "buy expensive coffees but then eat cheap noodles", go watch a subtitled version sometime :P

[–]Beta254 0 points1 point ago

They play it on radio where i live

[–]jesse950 0 points1 point ago

They play it locally in my town DFW Texas I was shocked when one day it was on the radio

[–]drphrenology 7 points8 points ago

That would put a new spin on the butt-screaming scene.

it is possible to eat eat McDonalds and NOT be a fat ass, you just don't eat every meal there and you exercise regularly.

McShaker Fries: So Delicious

  1. Pour - Pour fries and shaker packet into mcshaker

  2. Gangnam Style - Perform Gangnam Style dance for good times

  3. Enjoy - Fries will explode out of bag due to potential energy stored from step 2

[–]daisydelafuente 88 points89 points ago

Fries will explode out of bag due to potential energy stored from step 2

You just made my day.

[–]Forgot_Your_Password 22 points23 points ago

Let's not be hasty, the day is still young. But, thank you.

[–]daisydelafuente 2 points3 points ago

Someone who makes a great and hilarious physics conclusion towards a fast food photo is a smart person in my book.

[–]polysemous_entelechy 1 point2 points ago

As an engineer, I'll have to ruin the fun by saying that this is not potential energy we're talking about. It's kinetic energy. Sorry.

[–]andbruno 6 points7 points ago

What's in the shaker packet (ingredients-wise)?

[–]Skyline969 23 points24 points ago

Salt.

[–]skyman724 17 points18 points ago

Raw Gangnam Style.

[–]noodlejabb 6 points7 points ago

From the root of the Gangnam plant.

[–]Sven2774 1 point2 points ago

Ah shit man, be careful, I once did a line of Raw Gangnam and I just couldn't stop.

[–]skyman724 0 points1 point ago

Did you follow proper technique and snort the line off of a sexy lady?

[–]Forgot_Your_Password 3 points4 points ago

It doesn't say on the bag. There are several shaker packets you can choose from (like sauces).

[–]rakantae 7 points8 points ago

They had mcshakers in the US a while back, but they were nasty.

[–]howisthisnottaken 23 points24 points ago

Probably because we had them before we had Gangnam Style. I'm sure that's the missing component to deliciousness.

[–]polysemous_entelechy 3 points4 points ago

yes, if you leave out step 2 it's crappy.

[–]spandexqueen 0 points1 point ago

I watched a special on the History Channel, and the most popular flavor is seaweed, I forget the others.

[–]darkscout 1 point2 points ago

Depends on the country. India had a bunch of curries you could choose from. It was pretty cool. I wish they'd have it in the states instead of oversalting to hell.

[–]warteg 0 points1 point ago

Some good ole MSG

[–]radhumandummy 9 points10 points ago

I thought the illustrations was self-explanatory but here...

Shake and Enjoy.

  1. Pour. Pour in the fries and the contents of the McShaker into the bag.
  2. Gangnam Style. "Gangnam" the top of the bag and shake it.
  3. Enjoy. Open the bag and enjoy your McShaker fries.

[–]MMistro 2 points3 points ago

Shake, Shake Shake Shake, Open Gagnam Fries.

[–]OutlawBlue9 40 points41 points ago

Malaysia OP? Haven't seen this over here in Indonesia...

[–]jdog667jkt 15 points16 points ago

Ya I'm looking for some distinguishing words tapi sekarang aku mau makan mcdonalds...

[–]theregoesanother 9 points10 points ago

It's kinda obvious isn't it? Goncang dan nikmati? Bahagian? Beg? Definitely Malay.

[–]jdog667jkt 2 points3 points ago

Wah completely glossed over some of those. Capai bgt

[–]theregoesanother 2 points3 points ago

And look at the last sentence in the bottom, "Percuma McShaker" that's definitely malay, we use gratis.

[–]pxcasey 1 point2 points ago

Hah. I knew this was Malaysian but couldn't figure out that sentence. Useless McShaker? What?

[–]fjlwood 0 points1 point ago

Ah, yes. So obvious.

[–]ruderabbit 2 points3 points ago

Bahasa Indonesia di Reddit? Aduh ...

[–]sosulse 2 points3 points ago

Only words in Bahasa I remember is Selamat makan,Terima kasih, and rusak. So what's the verdict? Bahasa or Malay?

[–]Viend 0 points1 point ago

It's Malay.

Did our 24 hrs McDelivery website go down?? I haven't been able to access it lately

Used to live in Malaysia. Delivery McDonald's is the best thing I've ever seen.

Not gonna lie, those were fucking delicious...even if it was just salad in a cup.

[–]CookinNstuff 10 points11 points ago

tossing salad. genius.

[–]melanthius[!] 1 point2 points ago

I do this almost every day at work using the plastic salad bowls provided.

Aside from the the occasional "I guess you like your salad tossed" jokes, I'm surprised more people don't do it too.

[–]alyssa_w 0 points1 point ago

I do the bowl-shaky thing with my Chipotle. I thought everyone did it until I noticed the weird looks people were giving me.

[–]IngGoodface 0 points1 point ago

One of those fucking cups gave me horrible diarrhea. I think the cheese might've been spoiled, but it turned me off of Ranch for years.

Malay language lesson: Gangnam replaced 'Genggam', which means 'to grip tight'. Make your own sentence examples. Thank you.

Next time I'm at McDonalds I'll make an ass of myself.

Dude, you never go out.

[–]powercow 1 point2 points ago

I know I am getting old, the first time I heard of gangnam style was an article talking about how its 15 minutes were over and I hadnt even heard it yet. Sigh. I AM a redditor.. i just must not click the right links.

Username checks out. Where do you live? I was born & raised in Jinju. Moved to US because US college is ezpz

[–]Comoros7 5 points6 points ago

US college is easier than University in Korea?!

[–]skyman724 2 points3 points ago

There's a reason the US is falling to the back of the list of the most educated countries.

[–]awesomemanftw 1 point2 points ago

US has a large amount of the world's top colleges. So fuck you.

[–]skyman724 1 point2 points ago

It's the other colleges that I'm talking about. Clearly some institutions are doing very well, but most really aren't.

[–]wants_to_die 1 point2 points ago

ha ha yes. x10 easier ^o^ sorry

[–]Comoros7 1 point2 points ago

Well I'm in the UK, but I'm surprised. In what respect? I can imagine the workload being a lot more, but do you think Korea educates at the same intellectual level?

[–]imperialviolet 4 points5 points ago

As a Brit who's studied at both American and British universities, I can confirm that US uni is way easier. It's about the same level as our GCSE or AS Levels.

[–]wants_to_die -1 points0 points ago

More workload & harder work due to going over things at a much faster rate. Taking Calc when you're 16 is the norm in SK. Not even close to what US takes for the norm.

[–]orphanitis 1 point2 points ago

Precalc junior year at my high school if you're in the advanced level, otherwise algebra 2. Not the same as SK, but somewhere closer.

I have absolutely no idea what the fuck a gangnam is.

[–]abledanger 15 points16 points ago

Gangnam is a place. It's like the Hamptons or Beverly Hills of Seoul, South Korea. Psy is making fun of them in the song.

[–]Maelstrom78 1 point2 points ago

I fear we all will know soon. Like the Macarena.

[–]Clayburn 0 points1 point ago

So, you know what Macarena is?

[–]Maelstrom78 0 points1 point ago

Yes

[–]Caramel_Chew_Chew 2 points3 points ago

It's a song. The video is quite funny, and the song is a bit of a dance-pop ear worm. And there's a dance you can learn as part of it.

I'm listening to it now. I like it.

[–]MuffinatorXIII 3 points4 points ago

i think he means the word gangam which is an area in Seoul where all the rich people are and Psy is making fun of them

[–]OscarMiguelRamirez -1 points0 points ago

Are you showing off that you don't know, or are you asking for more information? If it is the former, just fuck all the way off, please.

If it is the latter, a Google search will fill you in. It's pretty popular right now so you'll get plenty of hits.

You're right, but it's not so much about whether I find it stupid. If I don't like something, it's usually not hard to ignore it. But it feels like it's permeated into every subreddit I'm subscribed to.
