I've never seen these before. Thanks

[–]raymond8505 31 points32 points ago

they were a photoshop phriday on something awful many years ago, I dont know if they keep all pp posts, but you can find them if you have archives

[–]shakakka99 3 points4 points ago

I love that it says "action playset"

[–]ScreamThyLastScream 2 points3 points ago

Scoria, really?

[–]SpookyGent 102 points103 points ago

Do you know what's even funnier than that? These action figures.

Because they're actually real. They never made 'charred corpses' action figures, but they did make action figures of the same characters posed in a diorama where they're literally seconds away from death.

[–]OrdinaryCitizen 63 points64 points ago

"Guys, there are hundreds of great scenes in this franchise, but we really haven't tapped on a crucial one in a New Hope"

"When they purchase R2D2 and C3PO?"

"No, when Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru get killed. Kids need to know that sometimes, innocents get hurt when dealing with truly evil power."

"...I don't think that's a goo-"

"YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, MR I HAVE 2 LIVING PARENTS! GREENLIGHT THIS! MOVING ON!"

[–]FrugalNinja 7 points8 points ago

Bruce Wayne owns Toys R Us?

[–]pseudojewboy 12 points13 points ago

I love how it says on the box "Only at Toys R Us!"

[–]crossM92 -2 points-1 points ago

Also how it's for ages 18 and up

[–]Threesan 17 points18 points ago

Well, I guess it's time to dig out the old Troops short.

[–]DJanomaly 2 points3 points ago

Holy crap....did that really come out 15 years ago?!?! I think I remember downloading it in '98 or so and it took me almost an entire day.

[–]Teddy-Westside 1 point2 points ago

That was awesome.

[–]throwmeaway76 5 points6 points ago

I had a Death Star that opened to reveal a lot of different scenes from the film when I was like...5 years old, I was given it for Christmas, it was amazing.

Anyway, one of the scenes was the Homestead, and it had a little rock, with a button nearby, if you pressed it, the rock would turn over to reveal two charred bodies. Yep.

[–]Ze_Carioca 3 points4 points ago

I didnt have the deathstar but I had that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle underground vehicle that Shredder and brain rode in, that kinda looked like a deathstar. It would open up too.

[–]Prof_Nutbutter 2 points3 points ago

Technodrome?

[–]ScizorofVenus 1 point2 points ago

Krang, not brain dammit. And it's the Technodrome.

[–]thegrassqueen 1 point2 points ago

Ages 4+! <3

[–]Audiovore -2 points-1 points ago

Now that can be an r/wtf. OP belongs in r/funny. It's obviously from some 'shop contest/day.

[–]Pulpedyams 1 point2 points ago

"I sense a disturbance at Lars Homestead."

[–]MrBrawn 102 points103 points ago

[–]whyunodie 5 points6 points ago

My daughter would enjoy this for x-mas. No wait she is 3, shit! Oh well, maybe for her birthday.

[–]pedalhead666 66 points67 points ago

that looks like a picture of OP waiting for upvotes

[–]Afkbio 92 points93 points ago

Old as the internet

[–]ProfessorMcHugeBalls 34 points35 points ago

You know what? I bet it isn't.

[–]nuworldblue 60 points61 points ago

Well it sure was a long, long time ago.

[–]RecursiveInfinity 25 points26 points ago

I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.

[–]No_not_the_monkey 8 points9 points ago

And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance...

[–]tristsoccer 8 points9 points ago

And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while...

[–]thereaper73 1 point2 points ago

But February made me shiver...

[–]vidstrickland 1 point2 points ago

With every paper I'd deliver...

[–]Ruvaak 1 point2 points ago

Bad news on the doorstep..

[–]CivilizedSavage 1 point2 points ago

I couldn't take one more step...

[–]TwoYordlesOneCup 2 points3 points ago

In a galaxy far, far away...

[–]Aeyrie 0 points1 point ago

In a galaxy far, far away? Edit: Oops. Not the first to say this.

[–]RaidersLakersDodgers 114 points115 points ago

Just a shitty post

[–]AnotherTakenUsername 27 points28 points ago

If you look back and forth at them really fast, it looks like there scratching their crotch.

[–]Mister_Meowgi 3 points4 points ago

I've never seen it. And with over 1200 upvotes, I'm guess that goes for a lot of other folks too. Thanks for the post, OP.

[–]lonersanthem 15 points16 points ago

older than my balls

[–]StraydogJackson 7 points8 points ago

How new are your balls?

[–]rabidsi 19 points20 points ago

Post-op.

[–]recliner_of_rage 7 points8 points ago

seems like a ripoff of this one which has been floating around the internet for-e-ver

[–]Cheesius 2 points3 points ago

It's such an obvious idea, I imagine multiple people came up with the idea independently of each other.

[–]recliner_of_rage -4 points-3 points ago

possibly, sure

[–]Herp_derpelson 3 points4 points ago

I believe this was made by someone in the Something Awful forums

[–]Nrwnknght64 28 points29 points ago

Stop. Just stop. I don't care how many times its been posted. I have never seen it. Anyone else who has seen it has simply went back after they opened it and continued browsing. I'm so sick of seeing these! Have you nothing better to do with your life? Yes I realize we are all redditors and have lots of better things to do that we put off but seriously... Come on man.

[–]mr_styx 28 points29 points ago

i used to think the same thing, but then i came upon something that was apparently reposted (it was new to me, you know the story) but the only discussion in the thread was about how it'd been reposted, etc. well this was a problem because i genuinely wanted to know more about it... anyways, this guy comes along and posts the karmadecay chart and i went to the most popular posting of it and found the information i needed. so now, i dunno. i guess i just meh and move on?

[–]Coggler 11 points12 points ago

Just appreciate being able to access the other comment threads. :)

[–]throwaway9852 3 points4 points ago

Fast-forward a year from now when this guy has seen the same shit posted for the 20th time and he's now the one pointing out chronic reposts...

The circle is complete.

[–]xigdit 4 points5 points ago

Nrwnknght64, surely you must recognize the irony of complaining about repeatedly seeing these kinds of posts?

[–]GlassHouseResident 2 points3 points ago

Why are you raging? Follow your own advice.

You, personally, are sick of seeing these. So what?

[–]HeAVeN012 1 point2 points ago

Anyone seeking more info might also check here:

There is relevant information in the posts listed that was not addressed here. Seems like he was trying to direct people who had questions to posts with more info and you threw a conniption.

You sir, you are the hero that reddit needs.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... this image was posted.

[–]mainsworth 49 points50 points ago

Why do you people take reddit so seriously? Can't you just like, frown and move on?

[–]standawffish 11 points12 points ago

What do you mean "you people"?

[–]Akoraceb 4 points5 points ago

I smell a racist.

[–]thathipstergamer 2 points3 points ago

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU PEOPLE!?"

[–]sje46 4 points5 points ago

I'm curious as why people flip their shit over reposts. Look at my account history. I haven't seen this before. I actually haven't seen most reposts before. And I'm addicted to reddit. Besides, OP usually doesn't know something is a repost anyway.

[–]SirDongsALot 19 points20 points ago

Because he is a tool.

[–]Dr_R_A_Moog 2 points3 points ago

REDDIT IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!

[–]Quaytsar 0 points1 point ago

Isn't the internet older than Star Wars?

[–]Explains__The__Joke 0 points1 point ago

no

[–]Quaytsar 0 points1 point ago

Isn't the internet from the sixties?

[–]_deffer_ 0 points1 point ago

No.

[–]Quaytsar 1 point2 points ago

Upon further research, yes, yes it is.

[–]_deffer_ 0 points1 point ago

No.

The interaction of multiple computers over a network/series of networks started in the 50s.

[–]MC_Heimer -1 points0 points ago

I'm confused. How is this picture made a massive repost by the fact it is older than the internet?

[–]joegetto -3 points-2 points ago

Literally?

[–]kingguru 0 points1 point ago

The beginning research which lead to the Internet started in the 60s with the first implementations in the early 70s, so there's no way this picture is literally older than the Internet.

[–]MexicanAirman 4 points5 points ago

I just watched Star Wars by Family Guy and I get this reference. Also first time seeing this picture after being redditor for 1 1/2 years so its new to me.

[–]Jackal__ 25 points26 points ago

you know there's a whole movie franchise based on just that you should maybe check that out too bro

[–]RicDan 9 points10 points ago

You mean they made live-action movies based on the Family Guy movies? Hollywood needs new ideas.

[–]empireofnyy 2 points3 points ago

Can't tell if he's trolling...

[–]Idontwearacoat -2 points-1 points ago

Don't call it a movie franchise. It's clearly only a movie trilogy.

[–]MexicanAirman 1 point2 points ago

LMAO no i have not seen it YET. Maybe one day. I refuse to admit im such a nerd but alas I will admit it one day.

[–]Goldboy 2 points3 points ago

What about the intro to A New Hope?

And Ewoks.

Yeah, who's speakin Bocchii now mutha fuggas?

[–]chase25 0 points1 point ago

I honestly can't decide if the wtf aspect is the figures or the fact that it looks like each of them are cracking one out.

[–]dromedarian 0 points1 point ago

Those cheap bastards. That is totally the same skeleton in two different packages!

[–]jjbowman12 1 point2 points ago

Hahahaha Really! I have never seen these! Classic!

why is this WTF worthy?

[–]Iroquois-Pliskin 1 point2 points ago

Wow that's embarrassing, they put the them in the wrong box. It's the other way around.

[–]Lolipsy 1 point2 points ago

Some men just want to watch the world burn. XD

[–]Flawzz 1 point2 points ago

[–]FireWalkWithMeh 0 points1 point ago

Yes!

[–]71Comet 0 points1 point ago

Old pic is old

[–]dirtyarcade 1 point2 points ago

I came in here to see if anyone was going to comment on how shockingly gory and realistic that scene was for a Star Wars movie, to which I then was planning on replying with "oh my god, I know right?". But no, I come in here, and it's just a bunch of whiny fucks complaining about reposts. Why the fuck is Reddit so annoying? Get over yourselves.

[–]Balls2TheFloor 0 points1 point ago

Hahahahaha

[–]Siriusel 0 points1 point ago

They look kinda... fired up?

[–]Tray2daC 0 points1 point ago

That "Uncle Owen" one looks like a Hart family wrestling action figure.

[–]FoxerSniper -5 points-4 points ago

I laughed at this more than I should have

[–]ourcadeink 1 point2 points ago

Reddit user for three years...first time I've seen them, been all over the internet since Gopher, and Veronica days. Mild chuckle...but truly some people haven't seen them yet...get over it.

[–]YOUR-UNCLE 1 point2 points ago

Too soon man...

[–]weeksy777 -1 points0 points ago

How does this shit make it to the frontpage, shame on you guys

[–]boilerz6 -2 points-1 points ago

I don't know why but I laughed at this longer than I have at a picture on the internet for some time.

[–]soapman5 -1 points0 points ago

Stop arguing about whether or not it's real or if it's a repost and tell me where the fuck I can buy them.
