My hometown is famous for the guy who drowned in a vat of feces.

[–]distrait 5 points6 points ago

Back story?

[–]Kr0nos 1 point2 points ago

I see what you did there.

[–]distrait 4 points5 points ago

Ha! I wish I were cleaver enough to have meant that as a joke. I really haven't heard about the feces vat death.

My home time is famous for a guy who ran a charity and used to be a football coach who raped a bunch of kids

[–]jjeff28 1 point2 points ago

Why are you not in your home time now.

[–]Tenchiro 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes you just have to get out.

[–]Galahad4615 38 points39 points ago

I thought Quahog, RI was a fictional town...

[–]Tenchiro 22 points23 points ago

It is but it is a parody of Pawtucket, RI.

[–]thetrannymonster 9 points10 points ago

I can confirm this I live in the next town over

[–]astryd 3 points4 points ago

Providence, Lincoln, or East Providence?

[–]thetrannymonster 2 points3 points ago

lincoln

[–]Tenchiro 0 points1 point ago

I live about 5 minutes from there too, in Providence.

[–]active_aypathy 1 point2 points ago

Providence reporting in.

[–]Cybernatty 1 point2 points ago

Also, Providence.

[–]supertaco_12 4 points5 points ago

Hmmm... Pawtucket brewery...makes sense now.

[–]Beardorew 2 points3 points ago

I currently live in Pawtucket. I don't see it.

[–]Tenchiro 1 point2 points ago

I grew up in the Northwest and always found the show funny, but it is now much more profound and hilarious since I have moved to RI.

[–]docChanana 1 point2 points ago

East Providence over here! Who are you people?!

[–]salen 1 point2 points ago

It's actually Cranston, but pretty close.

[–]Tenchiro 0 points1 point ago

TIL, thanks. :)

[–]froboy2287 1 point2 points ago

it's actually based off cranston, RI. Cranston citizen reporting for duty

[–]Tenchiro 0 points1 point ago

My bad, I had always heard Pawtucket.

[–]Konifer 1 point2 points ago

Did not know this. However, I go to college in Providence, so yay!

[–]goobersamuel 2 points3 points ago

The people who commented on that thread maybe?

[–]MrsRatt 2 points3 points ago

Or me, the person who created that thread?

[–]goobersamuel 0 points1 point ago

I can only imagine you care quite a lot.

sheds a tear of pride

[–]CoyoteStark 2 points3 points ago

I cares.

[–]mattbluesman 1 point2 points ago

I care

[–]ReallyBadToot 3 points4 points ago

This is what Rhode Island is famous for...and Newport Folk Festival

[–]DVsKat 0 points1 point ago

Can you please repost this, in the same subreddit (since the subscribers in /r/funny should have a sense of humor), a week later (so not everyone recognizes it as a repost and downvotes it), with a title something like "Look at the celebrity I met over the weekend"?

[–]drsingerx 0 points1 point ago

Well obviously someone cares if the town's famous.

I bet OP's just jealous cause their town isn't famous for anything.

[–]Phantamos 1 point2 points ago

Cause it's interesting to hear about things that get overlooked by anything but locals.

Better question, if you don't care what a town is famous for, why would you look at the links?

[–]Thunder102 5 points6 points ago

If you don't care, then why did you post this?

[–]DizzleDamion 2 points3 points ago

No no no, calm down. It's because he lives in quahog RI

[–]Thunder102 -1 points0 points ago

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't mad or anything, just curious as to why (s)he posted this to complain about it

[–]thetrannymonster -1 points0 points ago

I hope you're not serious

[–]astryd 0 points1 point ago

Might be a Rhode Island reference...

[–]In_Dying_Arms 0 points1 point ago

Because it's a reaction.

[–]XkF21WNJ -2 points-1 points ago

Also if you didn't care why would you view the image? This post seems to be a very effective way to insult only those people who care.

[–]Phantom31 1 point2 points ago

You can ask that question to almost EVERY posts. Want to play a game ? Well who cares that YOU don't care ? yeah ....

[–]MoogyOne 2 points3 points ago

Know what I'm sick off? Assholes using any one of the dozens of beating-dead-horse-memes whenever anything gets even slightly popular.

Go fuck yourself.

[–]active_aypathy 1 point2 points ago

But it's clever if OP is from Pawtucket, RI.

[–]Uberninjaa 2 points3 points ago

This why most people consider reddit a circle-jerk. Whoever criticizes last wins.

That's why everyone here is terrible but me.

[–]jinku2608 0 points1 point ago

Everyone here keeps complaining about reddit being a circle jerk. All that complaining is giving me a headache.

[–]Uberninjaa 0 points1 point ago

All you people telling everyone else that stuff is giving you a headache is giving me a headache.

[–]RogueMinutes 0 points1 point ago

I bet you're also sick of cat pictures.

[–]MoogyOne 0 points1 point ago

I am

[–]GingerJesus89 0 points1 point ago

My town is famous for a train accident that happened a while back...then on the anneversary another kid got hit at the same exact intersection. Ergo I would not get any Karma.

[–]perrinoia -1 points0 points ago

I'm from Lois' home town, Newport. Though, I don't live there anymore. :(

[–]ConansBeard -1 points0 points ago

Same thing with trees on your college campus. Seriously virtually every college campus has some cool trees

[–]catsmakeweirdnoises 0 points1 point ago

My hometown is famous for NBC'S The Office. Scranton branch all the way!

[–]spiceman54j 1 point2 points ago

My hometown is the place where chocolate chip cookies were invented!

[–]VerneAsimov 0 points1 point ago

My town's famous for this guy.

[–]Saicotic 1 point2 points ago

That's cool. Mine's famous for weed.

[–]bitnode 0 points1 point ago

Sniff sniff.

[–]Missed_joke 0 points1 point ago

Oh, you're from Quahog? You should do an AMA.

[–]Getinthecart 0 points1 point ago

Oh my god same here in chetwynd!

[–]SirRuto 1 point2 points ago

My city is sometimes called the "city of trees".

[–]lurker_becomes_lurkd 0 points1 point ago

Wow I actually recognized it. I was going to guess Sacramento but first I was going to reverse search the image to be sure and it was right in the file name. I used to live there. Cool town.

[–]SirRuto 0 points1 point ago

I love how much plant life there is around downtown. not to mention the food's some of the best I've had anywhere. There aren't many franchises around, mostly independent places that do one thing very well. Burgers n' Brew is a great example. Best burgers in town.

[–]lurker_becomes_lurkd 0 points1 point ago

Yeah it's been nearly a decade since I lived there. I drive through all the time to go visit my brother in Chico though. The last time I went up I took my old exit and drove by my old house. It was a rush of memories. I used to do very early morning runs when I lived there. I would run down to the Capitol and back. Good times.

[–]ScottyGates8 1 point2 points ago

just saying that the thing at the back of the sheep weere its testies not its tail, thats why it was funny

[–]JeremyKean 0 points1 point ago

Mine is famous for this bastard.

Known for such ditties as

Crabbuckit and I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman.

Those fuckheads in Toronto often try to steal him from me, but I know he is, in fact, from fucking Whitby. So you Torontonians can just go pound sand.

Oh wait, that's right, no one cares... Well enjoy some music.

[–]Capttravis 0 points1 point ago

I was born and raised in Barrington, Rhode Island where Peter and Cleveland played golf (much to the surprise of the very white folks in Barrington)

[–]Mrcheezy 0 points1 point ago

Who else thought they clicked on the wrong link? Haha

[–]mr_nuggets 1 point2 points ago

So your hometown is Qhahog? Very cool. I'm from RI too, but not from Qhahog...

[–]CombatWombat222 0 points1 point ago

Quahog?

[–]Mighty_Trip 0 points1 point ago

I actauly like those Posts

[–]CaptainScrambles 0 points1 point ago

Came here to upvote simply for your name OP.

[–]MisterNixon 0 points1 point ago

Could be worse

[–]RICH_LITTLE 0 points1 point ago

I care more about the incredible things found on our planet than idiotic memes, maybe I'm broken.

[–]qkme_transcriber -2 points-1 points ago

Here is what the linked Quickmeme image says in case the site goes down or you can't reach it:

Title: This is what my hometown is famous for

Meme: Peter Griffin Oh my god who the hell cares

  • OH MY GOD
  • WHO THE HELL CARES?

[Direct] [Background] [Translate]

This comment was left by a bot to help people who can't access Quickmeme images for any reason. Some of those reasons are described on my FAQ page. More information about me can be found in my first AMA.

[–]islanderguy6 0 points1 point ago

Almost a downvote

[–]Bimbopolice 1 point2 points ago

i care...

[–]h8bit 0 points1 point ago

u jelly

[–]Running_Scientist -3 points-2 points ago

Was I the only one who read it in Peter's voice?

[–]Jeremy252 0 points1 point ago

That's the objective.
