Breaking News

More sad news from the Internet, Reddit was found still talking about Justin Bieber this afternoon.

[–]wreckingcru 24 points25 points ago

Seriously. I don't find about 1% of JB news anywhere else as I do on Reddit.

[–]DaMountainDwarf 14 points15 points ago

Justin Bieber, Dubstep, YOLO, etc etc etc...

This is the only place I hear anything about any of that shit.

[–]RFGuy 4 points5 points ago

That is probably related to the fact that's it's on reddit where you are the whole day. Rrrrrright?

[–]DanGhostRyder 12 points13 points ago

WTF is wrong with people. Just because you do not enjoy his music, you wish him dead. Fuck all the Millions of fans around the world that do like the guy, cause you're so socially motivated to be "cool" you wish death upon someone. You fucking fail at life...

[–]TrueGrey 1 point2 points ago

WTF is wrong with people. Just because you do not enjoy his post, you say he FAILS at LIFE. Fuck all the thousands of people who upvoted the guy, cause you're so socially motivated to be "superior" you assert that someone FAILS at LIFE itself. You fucking fail at Reddit...

(WARNING - Above post contains high levels of satire. Please disregard any flammable objects and/or butthurt and wash hands immediately after reading.)

[–]DanGhostRyder 1 point2 points ago

when I grow up I wanna be cool just like you...

[–]TrueGrey 5 points6 points ago

Well then you'll need a pair of these.

[–]nodnarbiter 0 points1 point ago

I don't know anything about those pimp shades but I can help you solve that rubiks cube

[–]TrueGrey 0 points1 point ago

Make it a Rubik's octohedron and you're on your way!

I hope that is a thing, for I am too lazy to Google an image for this comment.

[–]nodnarbiter 0 points1 point ago

*octahedron. They do exist... I own and have solved one many many times... balls in your court TrueGrey

[–]TrueGrey 0 points1 point ago

Curses. That's what I get for picking such a plausible number.

Always go with the odds!

[–]nodnarbiter 0 points1 point ago

If you would have said Rubik's Petaminx I would have said never mind solve it yourself... (I lack the skills to post pictures but you can google it. I have faith in you!)

[–]JakJakAttacks 4 points5 points ago

Breaking news? Anyone who has used reddit for over a week will notice people will beat a dead horse forever here. I still see people pulling out Nickelback jokes.

[–]howlowcanIg0 4 points5 points ago

Until they die in a plane crash... there will be Nickelback jokes.

[–]redsoxfan3444 2 points3 points ago

and then there will be jokes about Nickleback dying in a plane crash... Oh the cycle will never end.

[–]jooes 2 points3 points ago

This time they want him dead too... It's pretty fucking sad when you're hoping that some random kid just turns up dead one day.

Anyone remember a few weeks ago when some random girl on twitter said that she wished the president was dead? Everybody was all up in arms about that one, "How dare she?! Wishing death on someone, that's despicable! What a terrible human being!" But, oh, an 18 year old kid? "LOL! Totally hilarious!! Upboated to le top!"

[–]AzianRage 0 points1 point ago

I think wishing death on the president and wishing death upon an annoying pop star are two different things.

[–]DaMountainDwarf 0 points1 point ago

A-fucking-MEN

[–]MEWOVER9000 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit this pic is old!

[–]Mjolnirium 56 points57 points ago

So lets get this straight, a kid, at 16, becomes famous for doing something he loves? We should all be so lucky. I don't like his music but I respect the kid for doing what he does. If you don't like his music, don't listen to it, save the hate for someone who actually deserves it.

[–]mellooo 13 points14 points ago

Ya, and he's done pretty good things so far. His music might not be great but he has donated to bunch of charities like animal shelters and clean water and stuff. So he has been doing positive things with his fame and that should be appreciated

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Mjolnirium 13 points14 points ago

I'm just sick of the circlejerk hate for a guy that hasn't really earned it

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]ncocca 4 points5 points ago

The joke's not even original. Stop trying to justify your karma whoring.

[–]Mjolnirium 1 point2 points ago

Hearing the same thing over and over gets old really quickly. We get it, their music isn't what you like. Move on with your life. It was barely funny the first time, and now it's just more drivel where I was expecting something funny. As you said, this is /r/funny, try to stay on topic

[–]shadyperson 42 points43 points ago

It's a thing to dislike a singer, it's another thing to basically wish the poor kid was dead.

[–]willybg 16 points17 points ago

Seriously though, it's getting old, and has been getting old for a while now. It's perfectly fine if people don't like his music - I don't really care for it. But everyone constantly saying he's a woman, calling him a lesbian, wishing he was dead, etc is just uncalled for. I guess I just don't understand people talking trash about someone they don't even know.

[–]PenisSizedNipples 7 points8 points ago

What bothers me the most is that people are using lesbian, woman and gay as pejoratives. Real clever and mature humor right there.

[–]You-are_wrong -4 points-3 points ago

your username is "PenisSizedNipples" is that the clever and mature humor you would like to see more of from Reddit?

[–]PenisSizedNipples 0 points1 point ago

Fair enough. However I see using 'woman', 'gay' and 'lesbian' as insults as an entirely different level of immature and idiotic.

[–]newtonp01 0 points1 point ago

I personally do sometimes call stuff "gay" from time to time as a negative adjective, but I don't dislike gay people. As a matter of fact, I really respect them for having the courage to tell people that, which is something I would never have the balls to do. It's just that there is no word that is satisfying enough to call something when it's being really annoying. I never would call a gay person gay in a negative way though. Just my thoughts on this.

[–]mellooo 1 point2 points ago

Ya, I agree. I'm not too crazy for his music either but he's actually a pretty good guy. He has donated a bunch of money to animal shelters and clean water for Africa and is always visiting kids in the hospital etc. he's also actually talented in the sense that he is a great drummer, plays piano, and trumpet. There's so much more to a person than what they're getting paid to do and it's one thing to not like him but it's just not right to wish he's dead.

[–]ThatIsMyHat 4 points5 points ago

I don't like his music, but if I were a teenager and Disney offered me the kind of money he's making, I would sing whatever awful shit they wanted.

[–]_NarwhalsFTW 1 point2 points ago

He's not with Disney..

[–]isofat 1 point2 points ago

I don't even care who it is. If it was Hitler, I would be his personal singer if he paid me millions. I would still kill the bitch when he was sleeping though.

[–]stacecom 8 points9 points ago

It's funny because he makes music targeted at young girls and I'm not one.

[–]TickleFightProTour 17 points18 points ago

The bravery is strong with op.

[–]beccaonice 7 points8 points ago

Ahhhhhhh!!!! Give it a rest! This isn't funny any more!

[–]KoreanTerran 24 points25 points ago

What?!

I thought everyone loved Justin Bieber on Reddit! Wow, OP. You're really courageous for taking on the storm that is the Reddit hivemind with this negative opinion you hold of Justin Bieber.

[–]JaggedJack -2 points-1 points ago

You don't have to be controversial to be funny. Sometimes it's easier to stick with what you know works. Granted, I think this joke is old and stale, but someone out there liked it. Probably the same someone who upvoted it.

Chill a little.

[–]KoreanTerran 1 point2 points ago

It's a joke.

You chill a little!

[–]stuckinneutral 4 points5 points ago

Who upvotes this crap?

[–]erryday_IAm_rustling 8 points9 points ago

Screw off upvoters. That dead horse isn't going to cum no matter how long you beat it off.

[–]ncocca 2 points3 points ago

Seriously. it's sitting at 286 up to down, yet almost every comment is negative.

[–]PenisSizedNipples 2 points3 points ago

Posts are for the anti-Bieber circlejerk. The comments are for the anti-anti-Bieber circlejerk.

[–]ncocca 2 points3 points ago

All aboard the anti-anti-anti-Bieber circlejerk!

[–]PenisSizedNipples 3 points4 points ago

Choo Choo

[–]Asophis 2 points3 points ago

If you look for it, you'll notice that almost every absolutely retarded post that makes it to the top is full of comments talking about how shitty of a post it is. There's a reason that /b/ required a certain amount of time lurking.

[–]mandarynn 47 points48 points ago

I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber at all, but hating on him is getting pretty old. I'd appreciate some more Nicki Minaj bashing.

[–]gigitythatwutshesaid 5 points6 points ago

Nicki Minaj is not pretty...how was that?

[–]mandarynn 4 points5 points ago

Too far!!! Let's attack on her choices...judging American Idol? WEAK

[–]Totlin 2 points3 points ago

over the top

[–]Codywestphal535 15 points16 points ago

I'd appreciate bashing Nicki Minaj as well...

[–]BroCop 1 point2 points ago

I think... I think he deleted the account in shame.

[–]holycheddar -1 points0 points ago

whoosh

[–]Codywestphal535 0 points1 point ago

Come on, the little guy was just trying the new italic tricks he learned in his schools computer lab!

[–]ThatIsMyHat 1 point2 points ago

The only thing she's ever done that I've seen was that Lonely Island video. I'm sorry, but I can't hate on anyone who does a video with the Lonely Island.

[–]mandarynn 1 point2 points ago

I did not see that. Although Justin Timberlake's cameos have got to be way better.

[–]ThatIsMyHat 0 points1 point ago

It was from The Creep.

[–]notsurewhatiam -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, at least the kid has talent.

I'd rather people hate on talentless pricks.

[–]BroskydaGreat 4 points5 points ago

I remember when I found this on Reddit a year ago.

[–]Splatypus 2 points3 points ago

I know. I see this on r/funny almost weekly. It's getting really annoying.

[–]ilikenavyblue 1 point2 points ago

I don't get why people hate on artists they don't listen to.

[–]ncocca 2 points3 points ago

This Beiber hate stopped being funny years ago

[–]kyledouglas521 2 points3 points ago

ENOUGH.

[–]IAMZEUSALMIGHTY 2 points3 points ago

This conjures a mental image of a biographer running into his bedroom every morning, only to swear quietly and walk out again

[–]Admiral_bjorn 1 point2 points ago

DAE hate Justin Bieber and hate that people don't listen to 40 year old prog rock faith in humanity level : lost XD

[–]Tebasaki -1 points0 points ago

Sounds like something Steven Wright would say.

[–]SwinginCrabWhacka 2 points3 points ago

Really? Because while he's making millions doing something he enjoys, majority of the people who pick on him are bitter angry losers.

I'm not a fan of his work. But I'm not about to pick on someone to go along with the reddit hive mind.

Fuckin sheeple.

[–]doot_doot 0 points1 point ago

I'll never understand how much this guy is hated. Don't get me wrong, I think his music is garbage and he looks like a really odd lesbian, but maybe, I dunno, just ignore him? I certainly don't want the guy to die just because he's a no talent ass bag.

[–]mellooo 2 points3 points ago

The music he sells is not the greatest but he is talented. He can actually play instruments like drums and piano and trumpet. And quite well too. He hasn't done anything wrong like chris brown or anything and it's just uncalled for that people are wanting him dead cause they don't like his songs

[–]chaser902109 0 points1 point ago

It's is one thing to not like his music. It is one thing to hate a whole generation of music. But it is no way right to wish death upon a teen that became famous for what he likes to do. Honestly I am now strongly believing that you all like Justin beiber. Reddit is the only one that talks about Justin. Also can we stop the whole "New generation is shit" joke. We get it you don't like new music. You know why? Because it isn't for you! You guys talk more about this teenager then the fans that like him. I don't like his music ether but I'm not gonna wish death upon him.

[–]MrBurd -1 points0 points ago

Reddit is the only one that talks about Justin.

Nnnnope.

[–]chaser902109 1 point2 points ago

Actually it is. Every Single day there is another Justin Beiber post. You can think whatever you want. But Everyone here talks about justin beiber more then any other person in the real world.

[–]aclockworkoranje 1 point2 points ago

I literally only hear about Justin Bieber on Reddit. Apparently it is funny to make fun of a teenage boy for no reason. I'm not sure I quite understand what is funny about this.

[–]Jorgwalther 1 point2 points ago

Before I noticed this post was under /r/funny (which immediately let me know it would be another Justin Bieber is terrible joke), I thought for a second it would be about Underoath breaking up.

Nope, just another rehash of the same joke I've heard since Backstreet Boys were big

[–]Skitzomalice 1 point2 points ago

Really? I feel like there has been loads of posts on the front page recently about how horrible Beiber is. It's like reddit is obsessed with this guy.

[–]DingoScallion 1 point2 points ago

KRATOS, BOM BATIBOS! You guys swear Justin Bieber is the next lottery winner.

[–]mmmorgan 1 point2 points ago

I'm gonna be honest, I would wear the shit out of that blazer.

[–]Biganon 0 points1 point ago

The fact that this shit has 712 points when I'm writing is the sign that r/funny is becoming more 9gag-esque everyday

[–]SeaTwertle 0 points1 point ago

I'm getting really fucking sick of hearing about Justin Bieber. Reddit is the ONLY place I hear about Justin Bieber.

[–]gchance92 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if I should upvote or downvote

[–]Legendofcupcakes 0 points1 point ago

I hate Justin Bieber's music but I think there is a hint of a ghost of a minuscule chance that he might actually be an okay person to be around... If you actually LIKE him of course...

[–]oneoffaccountok 1 point2 points ago

A minute silence please internet. Bow your heads and think about the children (why does nobody think about the children?)

[–]Forever-Independent -1 points0 points ago

Guys. I know you guys are all jelly of Bieber's fame and stuff but act so butthurt about it.

Now if he was a douchebag then it would be different but he isn't. He is not forcing anyone to listen to his music and if you hate it DON'T listen to it. Seriously, how would YOU like it if you became a singer and you knew that some jealous douchebags were constantly mocking you? Cruelty often masquerades as humor.

[–]Kinomi -1 points0 points ago

I honestly mostly just hate his fans to the point that it makes me hate him. I don't think I've heard any of his music for the past 8 months. But his fans, oh God his fucking fans....

[–]Costa21 0 points1 point ago

More karma whoring I see...

[–]bnj7146 0 points1 point ago

Came here expecting either Nickleback or Bieber...I am disappoint reddit

[–]friedrice65 0 points1 point ago

I saw this almost two years ago.

[–]elowry57 0 points1 point ago

So now Redditors are wishing death upon a person guilty of making music that's unpopular among people outside of its target audience?

[–]ZeldaFaggot 1 point2 points ago

Stop... Just stop. We get it.

[–]BeautifulCheetah 0 points1 point ago

[–]thewooboost 0 points1 point ago

Breaking news: OP is indeed a faggot.

[–]POWERXCIV 0 points1 point ago

You know, he makes crappy music, but I don't think he necessarily needs to die.

[–]emperorOfTheUniverse 0 points1 point ago

LOL HE'S THE WORST AMIRITE?!

fuck this, fuck you

[–]PoonHunter5 0 points1 point ago

I am in no way a fan of Justin Bieber, but c'mon, that's a little harsh.

[–]MrBurd -2 points-1 points ago

Upvote because repost.
