[–]Actually_Doesnt_Care -5 points-4 points ago

Well, technically he hasn't seen this in years..

[–]Cory1750 3 points4 points ago

Umm...that's not even technically true?

[–]BowlerNerd 10 points11 points ago

Every year that it wasn't in existence he hadn't seen it. So yes, technically it is.

[–]und3rp4nts 0 points1 point ago

More like, haven't seen this in year.

[–]DarkApostleMatt -1 points0 points ago

um...this was a bit over a year ago.

[–]downvotes_are_great 8 points9 points ago

He is a dog. Hope this helps.

I cried until I laughed.

[–]LucasSatie 6 points7 points ago

I will be chuckling about this for hours, days even.

[–]TurtlePilot 2 points3 points ago

i cant tell if this is a reference or sarcasm.

[–]LucasSatie 1 point2 points ago

Mostly reference. Snagglepuss!

Exit, stage left.

Can someone explain to me the face in the last frame? I'm not sure I recognize the meme, assuming it is one

[–]chardop 0 points1 point ago

Oh, thanks. I actually watched the movie too, don't know why it didn't ring any bells lol

[–]MrSmo 1 point2 points ago

Me too man, me too - there's a production meeting behind me and I noticed in the reflection of my laptop that people were looking at me. I haven't turned round. They have however just watched me type this reply on Reddit. I better get back to work.

[–]SomeguyUK -2 points-1 points ago

Yep I just did to. I don't think I have ever laughcried over a picture before.

[–]DoxBox -2 points-1 points ago

Every time someone comments I look at this picture again and laugh every time.

[–]NWCtim 75 points76 points ago

TIL "Firing a gun" means the gun flies from your hand while leaving the chambered bullet resting gently on top of your open fist.

[–]darknecross 48 points49 points ago

This led me to think about it a little. You "fire" artillery that "shoots" projectiles.

"Firing" referring to the literal setting on fire of the fuse (or gunpowder) for ignition.

"Shooting" describes the act of propelling, which is the projectile.

Therefore the correct versions would be:

Fire a gun

Shoot a bullet

[–]NWCtim 8 points9 points ago

So then firing a bow should actually involve an explosion in the palm of his hand just as he releases the bowstring that helps propel the arrow forward. I like where this is going.

[–]ZombeeAndroid 21 points22 points ago

I prefer to loose the arrow. Explosions are messy.

[–]Scadilla 6 points7 points ago

What about loosing a bullet? I bet they can still be deadly if you can find somebody that throws really hard.

[–]GeeJo 6 points7 points ago

slings loose bullets.

[–]Scadilla 0 points1 point ago

Like bullets that will give it up to just anybody?

[–]ZombeeAndroid 0 points1 point ago

Bullets need a fire up their ass to get anything done... lazy bastards.

[–]Ragnalypse -1 points0 points ago

If explosions are messy, then why are bullets so much neater? All the destruction of a bow, packed tightly in a little metal shell propelled by an explosion.

[–]hpabraxos 0 points1 point ago

No I think you can say fire a bullet as well. But not the person. Like this: the gun fired a bullet. The person fired a gun.

[–]fireburt 15 points16 points ago

You just turn the gun around backwards and pull the trigger. The recoil will send the gun flying across the room, while the bullet just falls out into your hand.

[–]SchattenMann666 10 points11 points ago

Those bows can be tricky. Need a strong arm to hold one.

[–]mcstafford 15 points16 points ago

I may have to break down and go to 4chan at some point.

[–]SkoopDaHoop 14 points15 points ago

/r/4chan

Its like a "best-of" subreddit.

[–]skullybones 4 points5 points ago

Nothing glorious comes from 4chan anymore. There's really no point in going there unless you enjoy porn, trap porn, gore threads, and shitty jokes. However, if you're interested in checking out their other subs that involve movies/tv, anime, weapons, wallpapers, etc. check it out.

/b/ is dead. it's reached its final stages of cancer.

[–]Alxariam 8 points9 points ago

I dunno, I went there a bit ago out of curiosity to see how much things have changed, and if anything it's improved in the last year. Sure, it's not the glory days, but there's no fucking way it's at its worst now. There was a point where you couldn't even consider that shit as "content", but now I can find SOMETHING every visit.

Then again, I might be biased, because that "last year" of mine was spent on Reddit, and I've really come to fucking hate all of you. Reddit has some great content and it's organized pretty well, but god damn it you're all a bunch of fucking cunts.

[–]ElGoddamnDorado 0 points1 point ago

I've been going to 4chan for 8 years now. If you think people here are cunts, maybe it's best if you stay away from 4chan.

[–]Alxariam 0 points1 point ago

I went there for a few years as well. I agree, but at the same time I don't. You go to 4chan knowing full well that everyone is going to behave like an absolute monster. There also isn't a single person there that would deny this fact. On Reddit, everyone is so full of themselves and won't admit that they're being an asshole. I can't really put it into words, but there's definitely a difference.

And yes, I'm fully aware that I'm bitching about Reddit while browsing Reddit.

[–]skullybones 0 points1 point ago

You must be a newfag.

[–]Alxariam 2 points3 points ago

[–]_Dave -1 points0 points ago

Going to /b/

See, there's your problem. It's not a joke when we say "/b/ has always been awful". Most of the decent content is produced on the other boards.

/b/ serves as a nice little faggot trap and keeps the cancer somewhat isolated, though. The rest of the boards are still great good better than dealing with you unfunny idiots.

[–]skullybones 0 points1 point ago

A vast majority of the memes you see here on reddit and even some phrases originated on /b/ so I dont know what you're talking about

[–]ophello 1 point2 points ago

Dont be a pussy.

[–]Brutalitarian 0 points1 point ago

I haven't dared traverse the septic lands myself, but what I've heard of 4chan is that the gold is really hard to find, usually buried and you have to dig it out yourself with your bare hands.

[–]Immamoonkin 0 points1 point ago

Knowing 4chan like I do, this is probably from the board /co/ (Comics and Cartoons). They have great draw threads.

[–]dHUMANb 1 point2 points ago

Their elitists are also slightly less asshole-ish compared to the other elitists of /a/ and /v/.

[–]Foodery 0 points1 point ago

Judging from the post number and subject, I think it's /v/.

[–]ophello 0 points1 point ago

You too. Dont be a pussy. Its not that bad.

[–]4chan- 0 points1 point ago

Why are people scared of an internet site? Just don't trust any links that someone post and don't read threads you don't like

[–]Lord_NiteShade -5 points-4 points ago

Dont. The old glory days are gone. Its a hell right now. It gets worse regularly. For every 1 good thread theres 100 mundane or garbage ones. For every life ruined publicly, elaborate revenge plot, or OP delivering, theres a million useless posts.

Those Draw Threads are generally amazing. Some real talented faggots out there.

[–]4chan- 1 point2 points ago

Way too many "69 decides" threads and furry porn, and the same newfags can't triforce threads etc. Every know and then you will get something good though so I usually browse when all the links go purple on reddit.

[–]James-Lahey 3 points4 points ago

So....

The same as it's always been?

[–]thermal_shock 4 points5 points ago

technically you do fire a bow, just as you fire a gun and not a bullet. however, it is hilarious, especially him cutting his eyes at link as he fires the bow.

[–]mariemystar 4 points5 points ago

Raven was from a game called 'Tales of Vesperia' on Xbox360. part of the Tales of series...it was awesome. prolly my fave of the series.

[–]msmithy42 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I recognized him, it's been a while since I've played it. I wish they made JRPG's like that still.

[–]ElGoddamnDorado 0 points1 point ago

Aren't they making a new Tales of game?

[–]underdunk 0 points1 point ago

They pretty recently released Tales of Graces f, the PS3 version of Tales of Graces, and have announced that there will be an English localisation for Tales of Xillia, the second newest Tales game to be released in Japan.

[–]playingnice 2 points3 points ago

I am wondering if the guy that posted was right in saying "firing a bow"... wouldn't you say "firing a gun" instead of "firing a bullet"? Not trying to troll, this is a legitimate question if someone knows the answer as to if "firing a bow" is right or not.

[–]barpidone 5 points6 points ago

"Firing a bow" is incorrect as, at the time of the bow being a popular implement of war, you didn't set fire to anything in order to make use of it. The first time "fire" would be used as a verb is during the advent of the cannon, where you'd literally introduce fire to the primer on the cannon in order to attack with it.

The proper verb to use with a bow, even today, is "loose." You "loose an arrow" or "loose a bow," referring to act of allowing the string to return to its normal position, propelling the projectile as it does so.

[–]cTrillz 3 points4 points ago

Dammit hands, why aren't you able to draw like this :(

[–]ineverlovedyoukiddo 2 points3 points ago

did anyone not find this funny in the slightest, or is it just me?

[–]gazzthompson 1 point2 points ago

Not in the slightest. Good drawings though.

[–]rum_drinker 0 points1 point ago

Not funny but I did find the first two frames mildly amusing, the next two frames however were just awful.

[–]ophello 0 points1 point ago

Someone took the time to carefully draw the bad grammar. It's kind of funny.

[–]BD_L3ftov3rZ -2 points-1 points ago

Nope not just you. I couldn't even crack a smile. I wish everyone had the exact same sense of humour as me so I wouldn't be disappointed with these kinds of posts.

The enemy they are firing at is Ignorance.

It's true. Putting in the effort makes even being a smart ass much better.

That game has some of the best character designs. I love Rita.

[–]Joshwright111 1 point2 points ago

Only saw this for the first time on Reddit last week, reposters are slacking hard.

[–]Travanoid -1 points0 points ago

Well, today OP delivered.

[–]claudesoph -1 points0 points ago

I think I'm in love with you.

[–]Forget_the_Oranges 0 points1 point ago

The picture that made me keep coming back here haha

[–]Jazzer008 0 points1 point ago

Amusing but when someone says fire a gun, that doesn't mean throw the pistol, same thing applies to launching a catapult. :P

[–]Xarzith -1 points0 points ago

that sir, was gold

[–]EnigmaticBanana -1 points0 points ago

Oh, you dun made me cry.

[–]esoteric311 0 points1 point ago

This really made you laugh to tears? You sir are easily amused.

[–]Sandbox47 0 points1 point ago

Actually, this is the first image that made me realize how much fun I could have on the Internet, aside from just porn and forums.

[–]messar_oung 0 points1 point ago

Great got the whole class staring at me now wondering what I'm laughing at.

[–]LouSpudol 0 points1 point ago

Didn't laugh.

[–]MN_MilkPlus 0 points1 point ago

Just got to work in a quiet office... trying to hold in laughter makes it so much worse...

[–]barset 0 points1 point ago

I laughed way to hard over that.

[–]Sleekery 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, OP. Great laughs were had.

[–]reddithvmdisretarded -1 points0 points ago

Did you just start using the internet a year ago or something?

[–]mibs101 1 point2 points ago

Me in the middle of class. Crying because I laughed so hard. People stared. No bothers given.

[–]Hitnrun346 0 points1 point ago

Post like these make me comeback to reddit ever 5 minutes.

[–]OliverMcLovin 0 points1 point ago

This made my week

[–]sazbi 0 points1 point ago

These are manly tears of laughter here. Handed down the Years by the Armstrong Family.

[–]dmack1228 0 points1 point ago

Is that Jackie Chan?

[–]Shadowspread 0 points1 point ago

I was on my phone just starting to wake up and totally missed what happened till I read the guys response to the drawing. I lol'd so loud I woke my wife up. And now for the rest of the day.

[–]Jester814 0 points1 point ago

I had to look at it 3 times before I realized what happened. I, too, haven't laughed so hard in a while.

[–]tdidriver 0 points1 point ago

Damn! That's Funny! First time I've laughed a good laugh in along time!

[–]LinkBrokeMyPots 0 points1 point ago

Hey, Listen!

That's not how you use that item! Use your bow using the C Down, Left, or Right action buttons to loose an arrow!

[–]I_Drink_Pepsi 1 point2 points ago

Looking at the way he let go of the bow wouldn't it fly backwards?

[–]minivergur 1 point2 points ago

Old but gold.

[–]InspirationByMoney -1 points0 points ago

I rarely ever laugh out loud when I'm alone this fucking did it for me

[–]PurpleSfinx -2 points-1 points ago

"Fire a bow" is actually correct. You fire a gun, you fire a cannon.

[–]machete_squad_leader 2 points3 points ago

You loose an arrow no fire is involved.

[–]SerLaron 1 point2 points ago

This is something that all comedies about time travelling have missed so far. Imagine the hero from the future commandding a group of archers and shouting "fire" followed by confused looks of the archers.

[–]AtomicMoon -3 points-2 points ago

as did I

[–]Whatdidyoueggspect 0 points1 point ago

I cried so hard I laughed

[–]BlackFeign -3 points-2 points ago

also laughed until crying

God dammit, I laugh for a minute straight every time this picture pops back up. The fucking last panel..

[–]ophello 0 points1 point ago

Can someone explain the last frame? Who is that supposed to be?

[–]ophello 2 points3 points ago

Oh...it's the "Nigga, you just went full retard" meme.

[–]bolt289 -2 points-1 points ago

Actually he meant to say "shoot an arrow".

Just being that guy.

[–]Professional-Genius -2 points-1 points ago

As someone who never liked the Zelda games, I only got a slight chuckle out of this.

[–]Akiba89 -3 points-2 points ago

I've seen this so many times, and tears are head each time

[–]vinox -3 points-2 points ago
