That's terrible! What if Professor X hurt himself and couldn't walk again!

[–]will_at_work[!] 583 points584 points ago

or what if falling down the stairs actually made him able to walk again

[–]NotaMethAddict 409 points410 points ago

Someone get this man a medical license! I think we've made a breakthrough here!

[–]Chazzey_dude 205 points206 points ago

So killing a dead guy...brings him back to life!

[–]iamrandomperson 136 points137 points ago

wait so what happens when you beat a dead horse?

[–]JethroTheRetroMetro 154 points155 points ago

It depends on how the horse died. You probably won't accomplish much as the horse penis will be flaccid. BUT, spinal cord injuries are known to be associated with priapisms, in which case you can beat it off for a good long while. Have fun.

[–]gatodo 14 points15 points ago

[–]Nipe7 23 points24 points ago

As a person who has shot himself in the head twice, I can confirm this.

[–]michigandalf 11 points12 points ago

Wouldn't that negate the double tap rule?

[–]wheeloflime 42 points43 points ago

No, you see, zombies are undead, so you shoot them once to bring them back to life, and then you shoot them again to kill them.

Simple science, really.

[–]michigandalf 4 points5 points ago

So you murder people when you kill zombies?

Edit: double tap isn't exclusive to zombies, you can use it on serial killers, zombies, spiders etc

[–]wheeloflime 6 points7 points ago

So you murder people when you kill zombies?

I...uh...er...n-none of this Communist logic!

Also, didn't realize the double tap rule wasn't just applicable to zombies! Though I was under the impression that the rule for spiders was "tap until you procure a nuclear device."

[–]lennybird 78 points79 points ago

No no no. If throwing people down the stairs disables them, throwing them back up the stairs should reverse the symptom, right?

[–]rsheahen 30 points31 points ago

That only happens on the island.

[–]drachenstern 21 points22 points ago

I get that reference! Otherwise I might have been Lost when I read this.

I still can't get a Locke on it.

Sawyer telling me there's an island?

You don't know Jack about the island.

And dapper as sin. I tried to make him look smug. I failed.

[–]GrannyBacon81 5 points6 points ago

Well I'll give you an up vote anyway just for all the labor and hard work you put into this.

[–]someguy73 22 points23 points ago

Blast from the past. You just need some music for that pic and you have the front page of YTMND 6 years ago.

[–]coreycubed 12 points13 points ago

That's exactly what I was going for. Axel F all the way!

[–]Aaronmcom 6 points7 points ago

Same as oldschool Daleks

[–]ThrashWolf 3 points4 points ago

Huge Doctor Who nerd here. It was actually implied as far back as The Chase (William Hartnell serial in black and white) that the Daleks could go up stairs.

[–]schmooples 16 points17 points ago

Depends on which Universe. In 616, which is what we think as the Marvel Universe he regained the ability to walk.

[–]DaemonDanton 27 points28 points ago

As someone who's not much of a comic book reader, I really want to believe that you just made up the most ridiculous thing you could think of as a joke, but I know in my heart that it's probably true...

[–]SharkOnDarts 5 points6 points ago

[–]ReticulateLemur 33 points34 points ago

Retcon senses tingling...

[–]jasontimmur 4 points5 points ago

At first I read that as, "raccoon senses tingling". Painted a very odd picture in my mind.

[–]Whodini 13 points14 points ago

Wait, I'm not a comic book guy, but isn't one of professor x's abilities telekinesis? Couldn't he just telekinetically pick himself, or his wheelchair up, before hitting the ground?

[–]kodutta7 86 points87 points ago

He has telepathy, not telekinesis.

[–]Whodini 50 points51 points ago

According to Wikipedia he has both. Although his telekenisis is listed as rudimentary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_X#Powers_and_abilities

So maybe not.

[–]bobbybusche 40 points41 points ago

Take that kodutta7. This guy isn't even a comic book guy!

[–]armstad 63 points64 points ago

Does he even lift?

[–]Naggers123 40 points41 points ago

[–]fitznicely 95 points96 points ago

This invention always drove me up the fucking wall.

[–]Naggers123 51 points52 points ago

[–]PerfectCarve 2 points3 points ago

He should just hover everywhere then, fuck the chair.

[–]JobieWan_Kenobi 8 points9 points ago

Then couldn't he have mind-fucked Logan and stopped him from pushing him down the stairs? He must have wanted it.

[–]TheMediaSays 12 points13 points ago

That wasn't Logan, it was the Ultimate universe version of Mister Sinister, who was immune to telepathy.

[–]thisisnotmyrealsnyo 19 points20 points ago

The Todd Akin Defense.

[–]Yellow_Ninja 2 points3 points ago

Logan's brain is shielded from psychic interference due to the Weapon X program.

Edit: Just saw below that it was actually Mister Sinister, but my point still stands.

[–]gbs5009 0 points1 point ago

I don't think so, although I never read the comics and could be unaware of a point at which he developed it. If he had a telekinetic mutant around he could force them to catch him though.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHARLES

I already did.

[–]I_WasLate_ToMemes 29 points30 points ago

LIAR! It's only been up for 1 hour.

[–]Cold_August 47 points48 points ago

But it's a repost so on a previous date shubey may have watched it for hours.

[–]lunarmodule 8 points9 points ago

Maybe he never stopped.

[–]thirdfounder 22 points23 points ago

will someone more talented than myself kindly convert this into a downvote gif? don't think i've ever seen better suited material...

[–]thirdfounder 9 points10 points ago

fucking beautiful, man, thank you. i can sleep now, knowing this is done.

[–]cleverbeefalo 6 points7 points ago

Is it taboo to ask about reddit inside jokes, 'cause I have no idea what a downvote gif is. Enlighten me please?

Or wait... let me guess... the first rule of fight club: You don't speak about fight club.

[–]thirdfounder 14 points15 points ago

allow me to introduce you to /r/upvotegifs -- which, despite its name, has plenty of downvote gifs as well.

[–]manimator 3 points4 points ago

this is my new favorite pastime

[–]cleverbeefalo 3 points4 points ago

Do you think the creators of reddit realized they'd be creating their own, real version of the Matrix?

[–]wakenm 18 points19 points ago

Something like this or this

[–]ausstheboss 35 points36 points ago

Something like this is a downvote gif.

[–]stumanktm 26 points27 points ago

Oh my god. I think that's the most awful downvote .gif I've ever seen. ...yet I still fucking laughed.

[–]westyfield 12 points13 points ago

Good grief, that is horrid.

[–]JesseCuster40 148 points149 points ago

Hey.....Captain America doesn't wear a cape. What the hell.

[–]genawesome 87 points88 points ago

This is serious. What was this kid thinking?

[–]youwillnevergetme 42 points43 points ago

is that lipstick?

[–]Knyax 78 points79 points ago

It's called bad GIF compression. Look how Blue the suit is, it's over saturated.

[–]youngchul 12 points13 points ago

He's fabulous!

[–]genawesome 5 points6 points ago

Um.. yes, of course... it was... sure... I thought of that because I'm uh, witty and stuff.

[–]Brash_Attack 16 points17 points ago

Obviously that was his downfall.

[–]MrBrawn 30 points31 points ago

NO CAPES

[–]SkizzM 14 points15 points ago

It's because he is Captain Awesome, not America.

[–]hotrodzoidberg 430 points431 points ago

This gif... this gif is beautiful. It has vivid colors. It has a series of events that dance your eyes through the frame. First we see the shooter, in the distance, then our eyes pull back in time with the missile to the gif's hero: Captain America. We cringe with him as he takes the first hit, and that hit propels him into a leaping spin that has such grace it borders on poetry. It has suspense. Why is the gif still going? Because lastly, and perhaps most importantly, it has 'splosions.

[–]picklefrog 17 points18 points ago

You cannot spell gift without gif. Which is what this is, a gift to humanity

[–]mostlyrelevant 40 points41 points ago

I found my favorite gif description

[–]benstillerfaggot69x 3 points4 points ago

I think I could tolerate like.. 3 reposts of this gif. Maybe even 4!

[–]MuseofRose 4 points5 points ago

People really dont know how great this GIF is. I was in the dentists office watching it on 2G and being that its a gif it loaded frame by frame and you really get to appreciated the glory of it seeing frame by frame the reactions, the little reveals, and the reactions of his one friends....then to top it all off in mid spin he does a funny little scissors kick hop and then all of a sudden the explosion comes. I was cracking up the whole time.

[–]i_smoke_rocks 3 points4 points ago

The guy walking off frame to the right also gets hit with a rocket you can see it ricochet up near the end

Make fun of em all you want....but that looks like so much fun....

[–]dirice87 33 points34 points ago

I don't like games without hard, enforceable rules. Sure you might get ostracized from the group eventually, but what's stopping a guy from saying "oh, I didn't see you throw lightning".

I vote that everyone wears a shock collar so I can throw sandbags with RFID tags in them that triggers a shock once it gets into range.

[–]CosmicBard 4 points5 points ago

There are plenty of hard rules and lots of officiators.

[–]gnomestress 7 points8 points ago

It is. :) I've been playing for 10 years. I play NERO. Give it a shot! Most chapters either have discounted or free LARP events for first time players.

I beat people up in the woods with plumbing supplies and birdseed wrapped in cloth on a monthly basis. I am not ashamed. Come at me, bro!

[–]EcchiMaster 6 points7 points ago

Eventually people get over themselves and have fun. Too bad some things like this are seen with negative connotations.

Okay, Video is hila-fuckin-rious.

[–]EmperorAnt 43 points44 points ago

The syllables in that last word hurt my brain.

Wouldn't hil-fucking-arious work slightly better? If you had to use it at all?

[–]Sartro 10 points11 points ago

It's hi-fucking-larious. No, it's not pronounced correctly.

[–]Sometimes_Sober 6 points7 points ago

lol For real! It's hyster-fuckin-ical!

[–]CRAG7 4 points5 points ago

Who puts hyphens in the middle of a syllable? Took me so long to try to figure out how to read that.

I used to be an adventurer...

[–]bamp 98 points99 points ago

until I took a Roman candle in the knee.

[–]Roboticide 25 points26 points ago

And then it exploded.

[–]murderofcrows 4 points5 points ago

[–]PontifexPrimus 30 points31 points ago

Ok, what was supposed to be the best-case scenario here? It bounces off the guy's shield, flies back at the one who fired it, and explodes in his face?

[–]LUV2ChUM 33 points34 points ago

It's doubtful that it would bounce back directly at the shooter, it would probably deflect off the shield in a direction behind/to the side of "Captain America".

[–]mscman 22 points23 points ago

In which case we would get to see what it looks like when a rocket flies towards a camera.

[–]rmd235 12 points13 points ago

I like how you put captain america in quotes :)

[–]LUV2ChUM 36 points37 points ago

Well I'm no comic nerd, but I can only assume that that isn't the real one.

[–]coreycubed 5 points6 points ago

There's only one Captain America, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that.

[–]MaureenMachine 2 points3 points ago

Agreed, I always wondered how many comrades Cap accidentally killed by ricochet.

[–]TheMeatball 9 points10 points ago

I could explode on impact too, that sometimes happens with fireworks.

It would have looked pretty awesome too.

[–]eroggen 33 points34 points ago

I think that's Captain Korea

[–]cowmaster90 12 points13 points ago

lies. he's not playing starcraft, he can't possibly be captain korea.

[–]drunk_otter 9 points10 points ago

Goddammit - another of these green on blue attacks.

[–]username_generator 1 point2 points ago

I am conflicted. This gif is hilarious, but the comments will likely be littered with arrow to the knee puns.

[–]exuseus 2 points3 points ago

You're the one littering!

[–]jas1290 3 points4 points ago

Gravity?

[–]grisioco 18 points19 points ago

Dont cry for me, im already dead

[–]I_Conquer 9 points10 points ago

Did something crawl into your throat and die?

[–]grisioco 9 points10 points ago

It didnt die!

[–]tehmikey 17 points18 points ago

Everyone keeps calling it a roman candle, but I would call it an artillery shell.

For me, roman candle are the tubes that shoot sparkly colored balls at timed intervals. Artillery shells are the things you launch from a tube that have two blasts (the launching powder, then the colored explosion). Artillery shells are what they use in firework shows, but they sell smaller versions to regular people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_candle_(firework)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_fireworks

The firework in the gif is definitely the second thing I described. I would know as I have had them explode on me (I was also a stupid kid like Captain America.)

So, is it just a difference of region to call it a roman candle?

/edit: Actually, it looks customized... based on the launcher.

[–]Sartro 6 points7 points ago

[–]dangermousejnr 3 points4 points ago

That dog has balls of steel. Most dogs I know can't leave the house if fireworks are going off

[–]DownvotingRoman_ 4 points5 points ago

I have a feeling he's not the real Captain America.

Achilles Knees.

[–]Krail 3 points4 points ago

But the shield... it's so... big and round... and painted like a target... why would any of his enemies want to shoot at anything else? Hell, if he threw his shield to hit someone, I'd wait until he caught it before shooting at him just so I could hit the shield!

[–]archyriel 1 point2 points ago

Thats what happens when you go with an Asian knock off.

How ironic that fireworks are the Captain's weakness.
