Their heads are way too shiny.

[–]word_nerd_mcgoo 15 points16 points ago

It was a different time. A shinier time.

[–]mopman12 6 points7 points ago

It's hard work using your forehead at a tennis racket. They just worked up a bit of a sweat.

Edit: spelling

[–]mcreeves 8 points9 points ago

Lol tennis ratchet

[–]stamatt45 3 points4 points ago

Can you pass me the 5/8" racket?

[–]I_Deal_Art 0 points1 point ago

This actually makes sense. Tennis rackets come with a couple different grip sizes, the biggest of which is 4 5/8". Your joke just became a double entendre!

[–]stamatt45 2 points3 points ago

Well... fuck. Definitely didn't expect that

[–]klelly 22 points23 points ago

that's a nod dummy

[–]morsecoderain 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure they're actors, not dummies.

Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor not a tennis racquet!

LOL

[–]sigilvii 5 points6 points ago

Some tip their head down, some raise it up. Awkward when two parties don't do it the same way. I call this "splitting the serve". Point to the initiating party.

[–]commiecat 4 points5 points ago

I nod down for strangers and up for friends.

[–]sigilvii 2 points3 points ago

That explains everything!

[–]brimur 4 points5 points ago

Same but more realistic

[–]seahawks 4 points5 points ago

that, sir, is a nod.

[–]RufiosBrotherKev 1 point2 points ago

I loved the Federer they threw in after like 20 rounds

[–]CANCER_PUNCH 3 points4 points ago

The original Spaceballs.

[–]shit_and_piss 2 points3 points ago

Dammit! Somebody make it a soccer ball! It makes no sense for it to be a tennis ball.

[–]ReallyBadToot -1 points0 points ago

and that's how you play Slime Volleyball

[–]nushey13 2 points3 points ago

This is how I see people when they fight on Facebook

[–]camus_can_do 6 points7 points ago

I've always wondered about the people who head tilt to everyone they see. Absolutely insane behavior.

[–]CaptainNoBoat 23 points24 points ago

I'm from the rural south, so your statement makes no sense.

[–]Timibumatay 11 points12 points ago

The Japanese bow their heads. Which is like extreme-head-tilting.

[–]brainsexual 6 points7 points ago

Like all things, tilting is just a degenerate form of bending.

[–]Rizzpooch 3 points4 points ago

tilting from the torso

[–]eroq 0 points1 point ago

Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor not a ping-pong racquet!

[–]redjimdit 2 points3 points ago

My wife and I call it "the male head nod".

[–]sberrys 0 points1 point ago

I do it too and I'm female.

Yet another item to add to the list of reasons why I'm weird.

[–]MlwaukeesBest 4 points5 points ago

This has got to be some kind of record!!!!!! Theyre still going!

[–]Sigiant2300 2 points3 points ago

I was listing to a song and the beat went off everytime the ball hit their head :D

[–]SandiegoJack 2 points3 points ago

Its when bros are surrounded by not bros and acknowledging that they got each others backs without saying a word.

[–]boredombot 3 points4 points ago

I found myself trying to tilt my head in beat with them, imagining I could also hit the ball if I moved my head at the right moment.

[–]fullmetal_cylon 2 points3 points ago

Damnit, I stared at it for 30 seconds and just lost it!

[–]chodesketeer 1 point2 points ago

I watched this for too long.

[–]Phyos 1 point2 points ago

[–]SanchoPandas 1 point2 points ago

2hrs later...

[–]Shanksterr 1 point2 points ago

I watched this way longer then I should have.

[–]Shel68 1 point2 points ago

That's one hour i'll never get back.

[–]beesharp 1 point2 points ago

Awesome... now do an "American Pie" movie version.

[–]solarisfowl 1 point2 points ago

now....FASTER!

[–]manniac 1 point2 points ago

The best part is how you nod while you watch it

edit: s/bet/best/ duh

[–]cooltom2006 1 point2 points ago

wow, at first nothing happened and when I moved my mouse over the gif it appeared to be controlling the ball!

[–]dippo82 1 point2 points ago

Literally just watched that for a couple of minutes

[–]friedcash 1 point2 points ago

i watched this for way to long

[–]random_story 1 point2 points ago

I prefer the Indian head waggle :)

[–]poonJavi39 0 points1 point ago

We call that "smudge" face.

[–]Jambz 1 point2 points ago

Up for a friend. Down for an acquaintance.

[–]3sgtejeff 0 points1 point ago

obviously everyone doesnt know the head tilt...because that is a head nod.

[–]Jacob6493 0 points1 point ago

Tilt up for buddies, tilt down for respect and strangers.

[–]mortalwombat7 0 points1 point ago

This drove my cat insane.

Now he is angry.

[–]OK4U2LOVE 0 points1 point ago

I am waiting for one of them to mess-up, these guys are good.

[–]MF_Kitten 0 points1 point ago

Everyone in old tv shows and movies were always so damn shiny!

[–]DefinitelyRelephant 0 points1 point ago

Head tilt?

It's called a nod, you fucking repost whore.

[–]2773625 0 points1 point ago

did you really just repost one of the most widely used gif's for agreeing with somebody in r/funny!? Really? Other people actually work for their karma

[–]crazyhalfpintguinea 0 points1 point ago

head 'nod'

[–]Chapel36 0 points1 point ago

I was expecting Slenderman. Still happy.

[–]GJOP 0 points1 point ago

[–]GuessWho_O 0 points1 point ago

Noe every time I do the head nod I'm going to imagine a mini tennis match

[–]nicvanroon 0 points1 point ago

Just watched that for 12 hours straight.

[–]RICH_LITTLE -3 points-2 points ago

Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor not a tennis racquet!

[–]whatlauradid 3 points4 points ago

You couldn't even change it up a little could you?

[–]GreyCastle 3 points4 points ago

I think RICH_LITTLE is also a bot that reposts old top comments.

[–]PoopGhost -1 points0 points ago
