Do I read really slowly or is this GIF way too fast?

[–]GenericNick 438 points439 points ago

The problem isn't your reading speed, but that you're trying to match it to the song.

[–]yephesingoldshire 146 points147 points ago

yeah, this is the truth. i was singing the song in my head and was pissed that the tempo was way too fast.

[–]ConfusedAlways 32 points33 points ago

TOO GOD DAMN FAST!!!

[–]agmcleod 8 points9 points ago

I dunno, I was doing that and it seemed fine. Maybe it was slow on loading?

Illusions, Michael.

[–]are_you_trolling 13 points14 points ago

A trick is something a whore does for money... or candy!

[–]manixrock 1 point2 points ago

I like you.

[–]whoami9 3 points4 points ago

He just read my mind and correctly analyzed its problems without ever seeing me. If Gandalf could have done that, he could have fixed the Sauron problem with therapy and a soft couch.

[–]detourrock 0 points1 point ago

I'd say he's pretty generic.

[–]Rizzpooch 3 points4 points ago

He skipped the whole part where it's nothing but beats for a few seconds! Totally threw me

[–]easymacandspam 0 points1 point ago

Not really, song or not that was too fast.

[–]LeinadSpoon 30 points31 points ago

I felt like it was slightly too fast. I could read the text but didn't really have time to do that and take in the picture before it moved on.

[–]lethargicwalrus 5 points6 points ago

Slightly?

[–]LeinadSpoon 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, only silghtly. I was able to read all of the text if I read fast. I'd rather be a little rushed than sit around being bored on every frame like some gifs.

[–]MetastaticCarcinoma 27 points28 points ago

On my phone, this GIF goes a zillion miles per hour. Too fast to read even a single word on any image.

[–]shogun95 9 points10 points ago

This is a problem with mobile gifs. After it loads, it plays it the number of times it would have played while it was loading, really fast haha. After it does that it usually slows back down to normal speed.

[–]CupcakesAtWork 5 points6 points ago

Good to know, haven't viewed gifs on my phone before, but will keep that in mind if they freak out and I get frustrated.

[–]robocyberkitty 4 points5 points ago

I'm lucky, the first play through is. really. fucking. slow, and THEN itgoesreallyfast!!

[–]revchj 0 points1 point ago

I turned Optimal off on my iPhone and the gif slowed down considerably.

[–]lonjaxson 16 points17 points ago

http://gif-explode.com/http://i.imgur.com/WICgm.gif

It ruins the pictures, but you can read at your own pace! The map frame says "In the realm of Arnor, born and raised"

[–]ryosen 3 points4 points ago

That's pretty cool how it uses the same 4-color palette for each frame. Sort of gives it that classic feel.

[–]djetaine 7 points8 points ago

posted below but here ya go. added 1 second to each frame. Also, yes, you read slow.

http://i.imgur.com/dOKde.gif

[–]AnswersWithAQuestion 4 points5 points ago

It was a tad fast for me, but I could read it fine only b/c I don't know enough about LOTR to pay too much attention to the proper nouns. You probably got held up on a lot of words as your brain reflected on whether they matched LOTR as well as the theme song... no?

[–]SuSp3cT333 0 points1 point ago

it's the GIF.. it gave me a headache but i did it!

[–]wdalphin 0 points1 point ago

It's too fast AND in a difficult to read font.

[–]palegothic 0 points1 point ago

Way too fucking fast

[–]skysignor 0 points1 point ago

Could've been slower, but then we'd just have people commenting how it's way too slow.

[–]ngony 0 points1 point ago

I think it's because you are a moron.

[–]djetaine 1 point2 points ago

Seemed fine to me, must be the former.

[–]Enderlamington 115 points116 points ago

[–]isaaclw 41 points42 points ago

While we're posting LotR gifs... This one is kind of old I guess.

[–]TheChosenOne013 4 points5 points ago

I think this one was my favorite. Any others?!?

[–]Rasulguhl 14 points15 points ago

I've got this one, but it's a bit small:

OWNED! FUCKING OWNED!

Probably my most favorite, funniest moment in any GIF. Ever.

cant stop laughing! thank you sir for sharing, best gif ever!!

[–]giraffestafarian 17 points18 points ago

Here's a video I made for a show I did a few (6) years back - same idea:

[–]whatudrivin 2 points3 points ago

To the top with you!

[–]Timibumatay 36 points37 points ago

How fast do you think I can read?!

[–]LeonHRodriguez 14 points15 points ago

protip:

press "Esc" during animated .gifs to stop the animation on the frame of your choice

[–]dictionary_hat_rack 4 points5 points ago

In what browser? Nothing in Safari.

[–]LeonHRodriguez 15 points16 points ago

Works in: Firefox & Internet Explorer

Doesn't work in: Chrome or Safari

[–]isaaclw 5 points6 points ago

Also seems to be windows specific.

Edit: doesn't work in Ubuntu

[–]WK_of_Angmar 2 points3 points ago

I can confirm that he is correct (don't know about Safari, though) since I tested this in Firefox/Internet Explorer/Chrome and also Opera (nope, does not work in Opera).

Also, in Firefox, once you have pressed Esc to pause the GIF, you can resume it from where it has currently stopped by refreshing the page (normal refresh) and it will carry on from where it stopped. In Internet Explorer, however, it will restart from the beginning frame.

[–]callmemayday 0 points1 point ago

Can you unfreeze it?

[–]elgar401 14 points15 points ago

So who's slowing this down for us?

[–]djetaine 55 points56 points ago

Personally, I think it's the right speed so that it goes with the cadence of the song but maybe I just read quickly.

here it is with 1 second added to each frame.

http://i.imgur.com/dOKde.gif

[–]vaginal_cream 7 points8 points ago

Pretty good, sang along, worked out.

[–]imsogroovy 0 points1 point ago

I was just about to agree that it's the right speed, and was thinking I should call my husband to take a look at this, and I find you here!

[–]KaiserDragon 0 points1 point ago

And who is going to learn contrast so that we can read it easily.

[–]Armed_To_The_Teets 23 points24 points ago

Lotr gif

[–]isaaclw 8 points9 points ago

Aragorn's smile is very disturbing.

[–]wojovox 34 points35 points ago

Perhaps a recommendation.

Perhaps, just maybe, and this is merely an idea, a suggestion if you will or just some constructive criticism, an outsider's thoughts. What if, now hear me out, what if the slides went with the tempo of the song.BOOM, BRILLIANCE.

EDIT: .....and stop reposting.

[–]742N 1 point2 points ago

I concur

[–]longhairedfreakyppl 7 points8 points ago

if you're even mildly slow at reading you are screwwwed

[–]sj_user1 6 points7 points ago

TIL I'm a speed reader

[–]EDCxTINMAN 1 point2 points ago

No you're not, you're just not slow.

[–]Rincorn 27 points28 points ago

Nice repost man, too bad the other one didn't too much attention. Otherwise everyone would be onto you.

[–]poop22_ 26 points27 points ago

Redditor for two years.

[–]myma1313 1 point2 points ago

Post the original so we can upvote that one instead!

[–]Sparkesix 0 points1 point ago

That makes no sense, if he posted original, it would be another repost because this gif is original but reposted by some karma thief(he saw it on /r/new, it probably didn't have many likes and so he reposted it). What are you thinking with?

On the other hand, if that was sarcasm, it was pretty weak one.

[–]downvotes_are_great -1 points0 points ago

On the other hand with how much things are reposted on reddit if it were to stop people would complain that we see one blue link a month.

[–]Sparkesix 1 point2 points ago

It would be pretty good if it was just once a month.

[–]mr_pleco 5 points6 points ago

Also, the punchline was in the title. Bad OP.

[–]Rizzpooch 2 points3 points ago

It's actually not against Reddiquette to repost soemthing that you think didn't get the attention that it deserved. It's really only bad form to repost things that obviously got quite a bit of attention - i.e. stuff on the front page right now (stupid, stupid people)

no, this was reposted months ago and was on at least the front page of /r/funny

[–]downvotes_are_great 0 points1 point ago

So someone reposted on reddit while a rerun was on tv? Oh hell no how could they do something almost everyone here does? It is blasphemy I say!

It all happened so fast...

[–]Bk7 -1 points0 points ago

Wow you are brilliant

[–]sonofagunn 2 points3 points ago

I will upvote anyone who records the audio-version and edits the gif (make it a video) to synch with the song.

[–]Fapulous420 2 points3 points ago

Now I want to see the one where Gandalf goes out of town for a week's vacation and Aragorn decides to take Shadowfax out for a spin.

[–]breakingbroken 3 points4 points ago

Totally read that in the Fresh Prince voice with the music and all.

[–]ScratchyMcItchyballs 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for typing out my thoughts for me.

[–]Scalion 3 points4 points ago

He forgot that .Gif doesn't have a Pause feature.

[–]Bluazul 1 point2 points ago

If you open the .gif in its own tab and press Esc the .gif will pause, press F5 to continue.
This works in Firefox at least.

[–]thedooze 3 points4 points ago

I love you for this.

[–]djetaine 1 point2 points ago

aww, its missing a verse :(

[–]imsogroovy 1 point2 points ago

Most people forget it's actually a song and not just an intro to a show.

[–]bluekum 0 points1 point ago

Didn't help that I read it in song

[–]hungryhungryhippooo 1 point2 points ago

slow clap

now if i could only get the whole office to sing along with me..

I was actually able to read and sing to it unlike the rest of you. But I'll have you know, that I've memorized the whole song after a day worth of rapping it to get it perfect.

[–]enum5345 -1 points0 points ago

Something has always bothered me about the lyrics to the song.

I think
"If anything I could say that this cab was rare"
should be
"If anything I could say to this cab was where"

because the next line is "but I thought, nah forget it, yo home to belair"

I think he is saying "where" to indicate that because he whistled for the cab himself, he could tell the cab to go anywhere he wanted, but instead opted to stick with the original plan of going to belair.

Why would he think about calling the cab rare, but decide against it? That doesn't make any sense.
