This is a reference to this picture and this thread, which have spawned a few dozen variations yesterday and today. Examples include Mom was worried about my trip to Tatooine, I sent her this picture. and Mom was worried about my acid trip, I sent her this picture.

[–]GoddardMike 238 points239 points ago

Thanks... Confusion SOLVED

[–]MilesFarto 41 points42 points ago

But I still don't understand how this is "bad luck." I'm gonna feel real stupid once I figure it out.

[–]First_thing 144 points145 points ago

Bad Luck Brian, didn't manage to hold on.

I was saying "oooooooh" outloud when I got it, and while I was saying that I read your comment. Winning

[–]rottenseed 21 points22 points ago

So the cliff's name isn't Brian?

[–]prosthetic4head 3 points4 points ago

Upvote for the meme, and upvote for the cake...oh wait. Sorry buddy I'll give you another for the cake day if I find you somewhere else on this crazy internet of ours.

[–]superdinobot 20 points21 points ago

The joke is that bad luck brian was attempting to gain sweet karma by taking a similar picture but he fell off

[–]tossit22 8 points9 points ago

You see no Brian in the picture, because he did not grab the ledge in time.

[–]belkarbitterleaf 6 points7 points ago

Bad luck Brian is a meme about a guy who has bad luck... in this picture he likely fell off the cliff and probably died.

and that is the joke

[–]Extravaganzar 7 points8 points ago

"Bad Luck Brian" would have fallen off the edge while taking the picture.

[–]newone99 11 points12 points ago

welcome to Reddit!

[–]ryeguy 39 points40 points ago

Good, good. Now we just wait until the final post in the series, which is where someone takes a screenshot of all past posts, writes "SHUT THE FUCK UP" in red letters on it, and tricks us into clicking it by wording the title in a way that makes it look like it belongs with the others.

[–]jackcatalyst 13 points14 points ago

I think the one with the casting couch was actually my favorite.

[–]Badside 2 points3 points ago

You don't just say things like that and not provide a link

[–]thehomie 6 points7 points ago

Thanks.

[–]Gillbreather 1389 points1390 points ago

This is going to get you the most karma for the least effort. Ever. Bravo!

[–]j1mmie 197 points198 points ago

Somebody explain this to my stupid brain.

[–]KoreanTerran 114 points115 points ago

Gillbreather said that posting a picture of a cliff was going to get OP the most amount of karma for the least effort.

Stinkylibrary in response commented with a period which is less effort than uploading a picture.

[–]SeaIion 76 points77 points ago

congratulations, you explained the correct joke unlike the other 25 correction posts explaining the actual image.

[–]TILnothingg 479 points480 points ago

there was a joke about a dude who went to the grand canyon and his mom was worried about it so he sent her a picture of him hanging off the "edge" of the canyon as a joke. bad luck brian didnt hang off the edge, he fell off the edge

[–]Ted_E_Bear 15 points16 points ago

[–]Zurmakin 4 points5 points ago

He is putting in very little effort in hopes for big karma just like OP. Cake will also help in his endeavor.

[–]Ted_E_Bear 6 points7 points ago

Cake.

[–]Bason-Jateman 20 points21 points ago

Actually, to get a blank character you have to do a lot more work than just pressing .

Try sending a blank comment it says "We need something here"

I'm guessing you pressed ALT + 0160 to get the blank character.

[–]Veocity 10 points11 points ago

Actually it's just the > symbol, and it's only one character. I shall demonstrate below!

Edit: never mind, it takes everything away.

Edit 2: I also love how many disappearing orange inboxes i'm getting as people try it and delete their comments.

Figures this gets me to #1 on Reddit, I knew my real life picture would get buried.

[–]NBAallstar 29 points30 points ago

Front page of reddit in an hour:

Bad Luck Brian [FIXED]

with your link.

[–]HogwartsNeedsWifi 8 points9 points ago

And now this picture is ALSO on the front page of reddit!

[–]GhostOfSparkles 4 points5 points ago

he did have to go to the grand canyon though, that's a little bit of effort. Unless he stole the image, but who would do that?

[–]I_Post_Nothing 4 points5 points ago

[–]rhodesrugger 415 points416 points ago

Nice try OP. this is actually a picture of my friend, Cliff.

[–]pandemonichyperblast 15 points16 points ago

I bet your friend is edgy.

[–]Reesch 36 points37 points ago

Alright, this one was pretty good.

[–]AnnonTheMouse 90 points91 points ago

If anyone would have told me two days ago that I would laugh my ass off at just a picture of the Grand Canyon, I would think they were high or stupid. Now I would just see that they were from the future.

[–]SvenHudson 22 points23 points ago

They could still be high or stupid. A broken clock is right twice a day and all that.

[–]belkarbitterleaf 106 points107 points ago

Finally, a spin off of that actually made me laugh!

[–]slightly_inaccurate 52 points53 points ago

What about Joey? That had all the humor of Friends but featured more Joey!

[–]Jay-Bizzle 17 points18 points ago

I don't think that's entirely accurate.

[–]Rag3niv 11 points12 points ago

Well, there was more Joey. At least they got that part right.

[–]B_Elanna_Torres 7 points8 points ago

I enjoyed Frasier.

This is the best Bad Luck Brian I think I've ever seen. Usually it's "meh that's funny" but this one is great.

Not sure if I should be proud I understood this reference, or sad that I spend too much time here

I don't always read comments.... But when I do... it's because I don't get it.

[–]jjk35 1 point2 points ago

Am I the only one who gets this but doesn't think it's funny? Not like offended "I don't think that is funny" but just legitimately, I don't see this as that clever or funny...

Just me I guess...?

[–]ohlookitzyou -1 points0 points ago

It's pretty meh

[–]Galarron 3 points4 points ago

I don't get it, is it just a cliff?

[–]Galarron 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I know what it is, how is this funny at all though? It's literally just a picture of the grand canyon.

Oh I get it, Brian has bad luck because he fell down the Grand Canyon and there was nobody to take a picture while he fell instead of helping him.
