this made me so happy

[–]HITMAN616 79 points80 points ago

No inception, but the street trolling reminded me of this hilarious gif.

[–]real_nice_guy 13 points14 points ago

a classic.

[–]BrainSlurper 8 points9 points ago

Where does someone go about buying something like that?

[–]Chemical_Cutthroat 23 points24 points ago

You remember when they were piecing together the batsuit in Batman Begins? You have to order innocuous parts from various companies so as not to draw attention to yourself. A wing from here, a beak from there...

[–]TmlzMiso 8 points9 points ago

So kinda like making meth.

[–]DarwinsDrinkingBuddy 0 points1 point ago

There's a Michael's Crafts store close to my house. Some unsavory characters work there. I'm not supposed to say this, but if you need anything on the down-low, meet Tyrone next to the dumpster in the back. Pricey, but untraceable. Glitter is complimentary.

where is this from?

[–]BallsackTBaghard 12 points13 points ago

People of Russia were pissed that VIPs(politicians, rich people) used these little blue emergency lights to force through traffic. They could use them, but only when there was an emergency. They just used them because they were assholes. This guy is just protesting that with a blue bucket on his head.

[–]DoorIntoSummer 2 points3 points ago

For those interested, here is some more background on this incident

And on the whole situation in Russia:

[–]jonathanrdt 193 points194 points ago

Inception is the planting of an idea.

This is nesting.

[–]shpongolian 69 points70 points ago

This is yodawging.

[–]jonathanrdt 49 points50 points ago

You mean 'xzibiting'.

[–]koobaxion 28 points29 points ago

He is an xhibitionist

Does he work in xzibinestiception?

Doesn't he work down at the local art xzibit?

[–]34h535834n5 23 points24 points ago

Inception is a movie that made everyone forget what a common English word actually meant.

[–]autodidact89 1 point2 points ago

inception - the start of something or instilling an idea into someone's mind through their dreams.

Inception - a blockbuster science fiction movie in which a heist traverses dreams within dreams for an inception.

I occasionally use the joke. Nice try.

[–]James_Arkham -1 points0 points ago

Oh glob... Inception did it through inception.

[–]thebritface -1 points0 points ago

Because people associate it with the dreams inside of dreams and not the whole implanting an idea which was the purpose of said dream levels.

[–]Atreides_Zero 4 points5 points ago

Or recursion with a finite set.

[–]llII -2 points-1 points ago

BUT IT'S SO LE FUNNY XDXDXDXDXDXD

[–]listentomyfarts -2 points-1 points ago

Hey look, I'm replying to your comment. COMMENTCEPTION LOLOLOLOL

[–]spikeydinosaur 83 points84 points ago

What inception really means:

  1. beginning; start; commencement.

(in science fiction) the act of instilling an idea into someone's mind by entering his or her dreams.

What everyone thinks inception means:

A box in a box

WROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAM.

[–]solsethop 2 points3 points ago

I will be using that link whenever conversing in my apartment now, thank you.

[–]Jiuholar 14 points15 points ago

I think its just referencing the movie "Inception", where there is "a dream within a dream". The word has also become synonymous with "mindfuck".

[–]Vocalities 23 points24 points ago

Inception isn't anywhere near a mindfuck sort of movie though. Honestly I think people really exaggerate the complexity of Inception.

[–]qkoexz 30 points31 points ago

Or you underestimate the stupidity of people.

[–]Enigmal 7 points8 points ago

Yep. I can't believe how many people STILL say that the plot of Inception "makes no sense".

[–]corney91 1 point2 points ago

It's the new Matrix. Not only do people not get the plot, but they also don't know what the title word means. Give it ten years and people will be wondering how they never understood it.

[–]mrnotloc 1 point2 points ago

Sudden Clarity Clarence / Slowpoke memes for days. This is the death of us.

[–]Vocalities 4 points5 points ago

I don't have a FB or a Twitter or any of that stuff, so honestly outside of my friends and coworkers the only real exposure I get to what people think of movies are /r/movies and Mubi. Sadly, when Inception was released, even /r/movies was constantly debating what was happening, posting guides to understanding the layers, and showing off overly complicated graphs and charts.

Or maybe I've been missing something all this time.

[–]bad-r0bot 0 points1 point ago

It helps if you watch the movie first before "accidentally" browsing the exact reddit where you will most likely find an explanation or spoilers. Many times I've regretted browsing reddit before I watch my series XD

[–]Vocalities 0 points1 point ago

That isn't a problem for me because I piss myself off with spoilers and stuff. I've become a pro at avoiding that crap.

[–]Ballistica 4 points5 points ago

The whole "is he in a dream or not" at the end does it for most people (like me).

[–]ecmmyers -1 points0 points ago

Or recursion of content (e.g. something within another of it's kind). See also the clipping of Inception (-ception) that was reanalyzed into a new morpheme added on the the base article which is subject of the same type of recursion.

[–]YoungRL -1 points0 points ago

Yeah but they never named the dreaming technology so... people don't know what to call it...

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Enigmal 0 points1 point ago

Well every film has a start right? Therefore every film [features a plot device...called "inception"] (Square parentheses denotes quotation)

[–]TheZeppelin1995 37 points38 points ago

Video for those who want it.

[–]TheKreeperStach 56 points57 points ago

Am I the only one that had a urge to stab all of them. It's annoying.

[–]shadowomega13 58 points59 points ago

I hate when people are just being dicks to people and calling it trolling. Being an asshole and making forceful physical contact is not trolling. It's assholery.

[–]Khao8 4 points5 points ago

Trolling is being an asshole, no?

[–]AdrianBrony 25 points26 points ago

kind of. A Car is an automobile, but not all automobiles are cars.

Trolling is a very specific type of assholery. the problem is people use the term "trolling" for everything now regardless of if it even makes sense.

for instance, OP's gif depicts pranking.

[–]gosp 4 points5 points ago

Trolling is when you make a post on a forum specifically to start a flame war.

Trolling is a way to fish with a net which is pretty much guaranteed to get you fish.

[–]skymind -4 points-3 points ago

In other words, being an asshole.

[–]pyromaniac112 2 points3 points ago

However, not all asshole behavior is trolling.

[–]gosp 0 points1 point ago

Inciting the assholes!

[–]2muffins 1 point2 points ago

All trolls are assholes.

Not all ass holes aretrolls.

[–]TheKreeperStach 4 points5 points ago

I completely agree. If they would of done that when I had my kid in my stroller I would of thrown his ass over the rail.

[–]zevjk 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry about being that guy, but it's would have. Would of, could of, should of, etc, is not correct.

[–]TheKreeperStach 0 points1 point ago

Be not sorry my friend no harm in trying to help others

[–]iGotChubs4You 0 points1 point ago

Being a dick to people on camera is what people who aren't funny do when they are trying to be funny.

[–]darkhindu -1 points0 points ago

Being a dick to a person for a personal laugh is what trolling is. Its not lmao everyone laughs at how much lols they're getting.

[–]AdrianBrony 9 points10 points ago

If you want to get pedantic about it, Trolling is intentionally causing a flame war among people. I believe the term you are looking for is "pranking"

[–]darkhindu 5 points6 points ago

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[3] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[4] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[5]

From wikipedia. Emotional response, shit, it's not even necessarily for laughs.

We can go on and on about the definition of troll, but regardless, it's being a dick at least.

[–]YoungRL -5 points-4 points ago

The term has evolved since it entered common usage... as words tend to do.

[–]AdrianBrony 3 points4 points ago

that they do, but that doesn't always mean a vague, overused word is better than a much more appropriate one.

Trolling used to have a specific meaning, now it's ballooned to the point where it's lost all meaning whatsoever. the meaning of trolling has gone extinct.

[–]YoungRL -2 points-1 points ago

T_T

I don't make the rules

[–]AdrianBrony 0 points1 point ago

wait, what rules?

[–]YoungRL -2 points-1 points ago

The rules about how language works!

[–]Doesnt_Get_Irony -1 points0 points ago

They seemed to be just standing in the way for most of them and the people they were "trolling" seemed to get super mad really quick. They are like full on pushing them, which seems weird because usually stuff like this people will kind of laugh it off and be nice. I feel like things escalated very quickly

[–]AnimatedSnake -1 points0 points ago

But... Who is calling the things in the video, trolling?

[–]MNice 1 point2 points ago

The guy in the, video

[–]AnimatedSnake 1 point2 points ago

Ah ffs, I didn't have sound when watching it.

Sorry 'bout that then :)

[–]Magzter 1 point2 points ago

Meh, it was sort-of-but-not-really entertaining. Until the point where I saw the "Thumbs up?" connotation then I thumbed down and closed the tab.

[–]Echono -3 points-2 points ago

They are being dicks, but have to admit the video made me chuckle. The difference here being that the box's change people's perception. If they were just shoving into people, yeah, everyone would just see them as annoying assholes, as no doubt their victims do. But we, as outside observers, can laugh at it because the boxes take away the perpetrator's faces (and with it, the subtle emotional connection of people trying to purposely aggravate random pedestrians) and replace them with the absurdist imagery of walking, pushy boxes, making it good for a cheap laugh.

[–]njdss4 -3 points-2 points ago

They're definitely being assholes. Going after people on skateboards is dangerous and stupid.

I still laughed at the video, though...

[–]fsck_karma -4 points-3 points ago

Those were staged, I guarantee it.

[–]njdss4 -3 points-2 points ago

I sure hope so.

[–]Obj_solid 10 points11 points ago

"real life trolling" thaaaaats a thumbs down

[–]ThatIsMyHat 31 points32 points ago

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[–]Polemicist82 24 points25 points ago

Boxception? Who else has used that?

[–]TylerTodd47 10 points11 points ago

This would be much as a "Deal With It" gif.

[–]MSGPresident 7 points8 points ago

20 comments, most of which point out the error of misusing "Inception". 762 karma from everyone else who apparently don't know or don't care.

For the record, I too am sick of calling any kind of recursion or nesting "inception"

[–]Derm 1 point2 points ago

Yeah nobody really gives a shit.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Falconhaxx -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, writing like that just makes you look like an idiot.

[–]homelesshomeowner -1 points0 points ago

That moment when you want to kick someone's ass so bad... and then get confused out of doing it.

[–]DnB_Pulse 1 point2 points ago

Because of the jokes people make about Inception, like this one, lots of people seem to now think that inception means "something within something" My friend actually said to me once that I "have" inception. And she wasn't talking about me having the film on DVD

[–]jamesfordsawyer 0 points1 point ago

If Solid Snake was under there, the dude on the bench would never even have noticed him.

[–]qnnplmr -1 points0 points ago

About 15. He's actually a gnome.

[–]akamushii 0 points1 point ago

the stun he suffered... if i could only have seen his face.

[–]iGotChubs4You 0 points1 point ago

That wasn't 'stun', it was the asshole in the box hitting him in the face with the top of the box. Watch again.

[–]akamushii -1 points0 points ago

that's what i was implying, the stun of the box hitting him, and the fact that there was another box....

[–]dontgiveadamn 0 points1 point ago

it's all fun and games until somebody get fuckin' stabbed

[–]CocoChooibos 0 points1 point ago

I believe this is a boxbooshka doll.

[–]here_for_the_lols -1 points0 points ago

[–]suprsolutions -3 points-2 points ago

LOL upon reaching his second box form he clocks the heavy guy right on the nose with the corner of the box.

[–]Kreivi -2 points-1 points ago

This kills the fun.

[–]suprsolutions -1 points0 points ago

I won't apologize for laughing. And yes, I'm sure it wasn't fun for that fellow if this scene wasn't scripted.

[–]daley42 -2 points-1 points ago

it's not incetption, it's goddamn recursion. look it up mother fuckers! Every single person on the planet may have been convinced that the title "Inception" was about "dream within a dream," but you're all fucking wrong.
