Seriously solid loop.

[–]godofallcows 105 points106 points ago

Is this r/cinemagraphs worthy? I watched this for way too long in awe.

[–]Dienekes00 73 points74 points ago

I know right? I kept looking for the cut.

[–]caithsolasar 72 points73 points ago

I never found it. Best looped gif i've ever seen.

[–]matt01ss 64 points65 points ago

Watch the clothes on the hanger

[–]hardincl2 25 points26 points ago

daamn youuu

[–]JewBoySandler 18 points19 points ago

It's still perfect to me:'(

[–]sharpinator 6 points7 points ago

It's still real to me dammit.

[–]megamix8 0 points1 point ago

Also when the guy picks up the ball and moves further to the left, at one point the ball disappears. In next frame, it's there again.

[–]wimmyjales 5 points6 points ago

Excellent gifsmanship.

[–]ThePoose 1 point2 points ago

Theres two balls at the beginning. He picks up one and throws it. When he's going back for the second one you see the first one pop back just before he grabs it. Really well made gif

[–]irondieselvingiant 1 point2 points ago

I don't see it at all

[–]Omne118 1 point2 points ago

I'm so glad somebody else did this too. I spent quite a long time trying to find the cut.

[–]EmpiresBane 2 points3 points ago

Being a loop does not make it a cinemagraph.

[–]godofallcows 1 point2 points ago

What would constitute it to be?

[–]Nasturtium 1 point2 points ago

Pudding.

[–]godofallcows 0 points1 point ago

Ah, gotcha.

[–]AdmiralBallsack 20 points21 points ago

Just to be clear, OP didnt make this. It comes from "If we don't, remember me". I'm writing from my phone so I can't link to it, but look it up. It has the most cinematic gifs on the entire Internet. The Wes Anderson ones are really really great

[–]jean_baptiste 13 points14 points ago

For the lazy

[–]jean_baptiste 5 points6 points ago

aaaaaaaaaaand it crashed.

[–]Dienekes00 0 points1 point ago

Awesome. Here's the link.

[–]gobrowns88 0 points1 point ago

I was not aware that Wes Anderson did Napoleon Dynamite, thanks.

[–]mkd8919 0 points1 point ago

He didn't.

[–]gobrowns88 2 points3 points ago

Sarcasm isn't displayed well in text.

[–]Scarjaka -1 points0 points ago

Don't give me your slanderous lies.

[–]Cynical_Walrus 0 points1 point ago

God!

[–]jean_baptiste 6 points7 points ago

You will cringe at these, slightly less solid loops.

[–]nidalmorra 0 points1 point ago

What are you talking about? These are freaking cool!

[–]qubes 2 points3 points ago

What an outstanding GIFt.

[–]RheagarTargaryen 0 points1 point ago

I had to look at the curtains on the window to figure out where it started/finished.

[–]CRAWL_SPACE 25 points26 points ago

Dat loop! I had to look at the clothes blowing in the wind to see the change

[–]coolbreess 11 points12 points ago

my god, and even at that it's subtle

[–]Flappyman 12 points13 points ago

Don't worry, I'm not like these other yahoos, I understand.

[–]lvomrm 83 points84 points ago

not funny, but one of the best loops I know!

[–]slugger570 27 points28 points ago

Yeah I have no idea what I'm suppose to be understanding.

[–]sgrag 54 points55 points ago

That guy is gonna throw that football over those mountains. If only coach would have put him in the 4th quarter, they could have won state.

[–]dedfrog 0 points1 point ago

If he could only go back ... with all the knowledge he has now ...

[–]murder_wolf 2 points3 points ago

What you're probably not seeing is he's doing all this in front of a video camera. It is a looping gif, but in the actual film he does this with a stack of footballs.

[–]HW_Plainview 0 points1 point ago

Are you kidding me? Uncle Rico is jokes as hell, love that dude.

If coach hadda put me in 4th quarter, we'd a been state champions. No doubt, no doubt in my mind.

[–]lvomrm 0 points1 point ago

... Que?

[–]fishgats 17 points18 points ago

What I think when people post exercise updates to Facebook.

[–]Mr_OhHi 14 points15 points ago

God dang it, Bobby. That boy wain't right, I tell ya what.

[–]rbevans 9 points10 points ago

Solid loop...so solid I stared at it for a few minutes before I realized it was a loop.

[–]sethrotull 5 points6 points ago

Amazing loop, well done.

[–]The_Bolognator 34 points35 points ago

I post statuses when I hit milestones. Fitness is basically my biggest hobby at the moment, when I achieve something significant I'm very proud and like to share it. Don't think I've ever had multiple fitness related updates in a 2 week span. But yeah I'm a self-aggrandizing unaware douchebag.

[–]concordefallacy 2 points3 points ago

It's aggravating when I see my friends posting shit daily from their fitocracy accounts. I'm just as physically active and stringent about my routines as they are, but for some reason they require that daily attempt at self-aggrandizing they're entirely mundane fitness network updates. If more people in my social circles exclusively posted milestones like you I wouldn't be shaking my head and wishing Facebook could block updates by keywords.

I keep quiet most of the time (hence the cathartic, groaning tone of this comment), but in my mind I'm thinking "Go pat yourself on the back in private! It's ONE workout!"

[–]_bagelbites 1 point2 points ago

holy crap i feel like you just used a lot of big words

[–]concordefallacy 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure of whether that's good or bad. ಠ_ಠ

[–]mrmpr 8 points9 points ago

For many people, if facebook recognition is what it takes to get exercising I fully support it -- even if it means I have to be inconvenienced for the half second of skipping past their status update on facebook. My wife posts her exercise milestones and the support she gets from friends and family is what keeps her going.

[–]PixelizedApe 19 points20 points ago

Whatever keeps you motivated. If you don't like it don't subscribe to their feed. Simple as that, better than sitting on your ass on reddit all day.

[–]notsurewhatiam 5 points6 points ago

But what about the circlejerk!?

[–]runsoutofspace 2 points3 points ago

Good forearm workout.

[–]dontcallmebabe 4 points5 points ago

There's on chick I went to high school with that will post statuses like this: Gym then work then had egg salad sandwich cuddling with dogs now husband comes home later then sleep and laundry tgif!

Ugh.

[–]runsoutofspace 1 point2 points ago

Isn't that what a status is for? That one kinda beats having each of those activities as a separate status every day.

[–]dontcallmebabe 1 point2 points ago

I just think that statuses should be used to add something interesting to someone's day or to update people on important things. I don't really need to know that she's going to eat a sandwich, and then cuddle and then sleep. It's just too much minute detail. Which is why she's not in my feed anymore. :)

[–]itrunner 6 points7 points ago

i have a lot of friends in my feed who complain about this too. The real funny thing is all of them who complain about it don't exercise! hmmmmm

[–]Aussie_Conservative 1 point2 points ago

then they will go and update their facebook with their hobby or interests and think it's fine.. people whinging in this post about gym updates are hypocritical dolts

[–]Thickensick 1 point2 points ago

Oh, Uncle Rico!

[–]teh_man01 1 point2 points ago

Uncle Rico

[–]Red_Woody 1 point2 points ago

I just realized the orange and blue contrast.

[–]JennM42 2 points3 points ago

Orange and Teal... Orange and Teal EVERYWHERE. That thread changed things, man.

[–]speak27 1 point2 points ago

The best way to throw a football is to check for receivers behind you.

[–]DawginYourMomma 0 points1 point ago

Bing-fuckin'-o.

[–]skilas 0 points1 point ago

I stared at this gif was way too long...

[–]jihadJoe76 0 points1 point ago

I do this

[–]Nizzler 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the reminder... Time to watch ND.... again

[–]Erniecrack 0 points1 point ago

Betcha i can throw this football over them mountains.

[–]DrizztDoUrdenZ 0 points1 point ago

I would give up anything to own that van.

[–]Thatdudeguybro 0 points1 point ago

As a person who does this sometimes, it does feel like that every now and again. (Though my friends do give feedback and advice most of the time)

[–]spoonard 0 points1 point ago

Fuckin' A, man! I watches that shit for like 10 minutes and he NEVER ran out of footballs! WTF???

[–]UliKunkel 0 points1 point ago

bet i could throw a football over them mountains

[–]djramrod 0 points1 point ago

That football went clear over them mountains.

[–]ralliartevo 0 points1 point ago

Epic.

[–]Prep_ 1 point2 points ago

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

[–]Saint947 1 point2 points ago

Kip... You're a smart guy... Do you know anything about time travel?

[–]princessawkward 0 points1 point ago

Watched it for a minute before I realised it was just looping perfectly.

[–]raymond8505 1 point2 points ago

Im not gonna lie, I check out my biceps all day after an arm workout

[–]MAJORpaiynne 0 points1 point ago

Its better than people who post pictures of their food

[–]jabbaj7 0 points1 point ago

almost seamless

[–]DeadPlayerWalking 0 points1 point ago

This should be made into an upvote gif.

[–]SwitchesDF 1 point2 points ago

I'm sad that this gif doesn't include the underhand throw he does.

[–]RedGK 0 points1 point ago

When is he going to cook the meth?

[–]Bumgurgle 0 points1 point ago

That is one big pile of footballs.

[–]GroundhogExpert 0 points1 point ago

Took me like 2 minutes to realize it was a short loop.

[–]Suckmydongha 0 points1 point ago

Such a good loop i was waiting for him to hit the camera after the 10th throw

[–]junkiewithoutacause -1 points0 points ago

What I think when people talk shit about people posting exercise updates to facebook: http://static.neatorama.com/images/2008-02/manuel-uribe-fattest-man-diet.jpg

[–]asaint4 0 points1 point ago

Not sure how fucked up I am right now but I just watched this guy throw 25 footballs into the desert.

[–]jeanlukepaccar 1 point2 points ago

How much you wanna bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

[–]betterworkonthat 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it really grinds my gears

[–]karmisson 0 points1 point ago

I bet he can throw it over that mountain.

[–]mithoviel 0 points1 point ago

Are my Zombies, Run! auto-posts really that bad?

[–]merdock379 1 point2 points ago

Facebook updates are for attention whores, and those that post about physical achievements are particularly embarrassing. I lost 50lbs and lift all the time and never post about it because the cool move is to play it off like no big deal. Telling everyone you know about it reeks of desperation and approval-seeking.

[–]gnarlysaurus 0 points1 point ago

I'll upvote this right after I blast my triceps.

[–]metalsatch 0 points1 point ago

I post updates so that people know that I'm exercising and give me shit for it when I stop posting. It encourages me to keep going. Duh

[–]niton 0 points1 point ago

I find posting exercise stuff on FB helps me stay accountable. I've had friends ask me, "hey I saw you haven't run this week....hurt?" Helps me get a bit embarassed and back out there. Also, I've also had friends approach me about running and swap strategies. Feels good man.

[–]mballack91 0 points1 point ago

What movies is this? You know, for science...?

[–]trets14 12 points13 points ago

Napoleon Dynamite. Hilarious movie to some, yet stupid to all.

[–]mballack91 -1 points0 points ago

Thank you sir, you deserve an upvote!

[–]Tstrong420 -2 points-1 points ago

How many football's does he have!

[–]Mr_OhHi 0 points1 point ago

This guy on my FB always has some bullshit such as "At the gym. Beastmode: on". for fuck's sake I feel so embarrassed for him. I work out, but there is no need to say it, and not in such a ridiculous way.

[–]youre_a_tard 0 points1 point ago

Do you even lift?

[–]Mr_OhHi 0 points1 point ago

squatz 'n oatz, brah

[–]bro213 0 points1 point ago
