[–]ravelle 11 points12 points ago

Aha-Aha-Aha!

[–]WilliamHTaft 8 points9 points ago

[–]edaddyo 6 points7 points ago

[–]fenrisulfur 36 points37 points ago

He thrust his fist against the post but still insists he sees the ghost

[–]Nullvoid123 18 points19 points ago

He thrust his fist against the upvote but still insists he sees the repost

FTFY

[–]ashleypants1122 45 points46 points ago

I have trouble explaining Reddit. I wind up saying things like, "Just check it out. They have everything." When they ask like what all I can think of is cats.

[–]glaedr 26 points27 points ago

"well, there's all this funny stuff and sometimes celebrities answer people's questions and you can comment on things"

Never fails to underwhelm.

[–]blendan 7 points8 points ago

I know a bunch if chivers, my best lure is you can see all that stuff a day earlier.

[–]shitterplug 9 points10 points ago

Trying to explain that they can select their own subreddits gets irritating, especially since most of the defaults are retarded.

"Yep just unsub from atheism, adviceanimals... might as well just do all of them and hit random for an hour until you build up a nice front page."

"I thought this was supposed to be fun..."

[–]buttplugpeddler 7 points8 points ago

We meet again. I challenge you to a gentlemanly duel.

[–]bo87 14 points15 points ago

It's hard to accustom people to the ugly design though. People are very graphically lazy.

Oh you know it's true, this site is fucking ugly.

[–]lizu01 6 points7 points ago

I initially didn't want check it out because of the outlook

[–]cormega 1 point2 points ago

Something Redditors never talk about for some reason, but yes the site is ugly.

[–]50209253574279012736 13 points14 points ago

Reddit is easily explained.

[–]HedoInASpeedo 1 point2 points ago

It really is everything, sometimes I sit at work bored and try to think of another site to check out and just go back to reddit trying to find new subs to enjoy.

[–]ziasaur 92 points93 points ago

i'm usually trying to sway friends away from reddit so there'll be more for me

also so that they can live normal healthy lives

[–]NOTICE_MY_USERNAME 18 points19 points ago

I just feel bad getting my friends into reddit cause it inevitably consumes their entire life. It's happened enough times now too where I can't really play dumb anymore.

[–]bhramer 3 points4 points ago

Interesting username

[–]Cazeltherunner 0 points1 point ago

I sure noticed it

[–]DrDizaster 0 points1 point ago

If I would have known reddit would consume literally hours a day (~2-6) every single day... Also I just noticed your username.

[–]dc512 0 points1 point ago

me too!

[–]Salva_Veritate 0 points1 point ago

Plus, chances are pretty high that introducing your friends to reddit will make your Facebook feed resemble /r/terriblefacebookmemes

[–]EvanRWT 10 points11 points ago

Tim Curry was a natural for Pennywise.

[–]Sup_Shenanigans 12 points13 points ago

I am so afraid of pennywise. Holy Fuck.

[–]nemthenga 1 point2 points ago

I read IT when I was 12, in a cabin in the woods in Michigan, where the sound of tall pines swaying in the utterly pitch black night sounded exactly like giant spiders from beyond the walls of creation. I slept with a sword under my pillow for 6 months.

And then I read everything else King ever wrote because awesome.

[–]tbaxattack 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure I was also 12 or 13 when I read that book...probably not the best book for a young teenager, but it was definitely a good read.

[–]segFault11235 1 point2 points ago

I nearly had a heart attack as a kid because I had just seen that movie and I had mistaken our gardener for Pennywise when I was home alone.

Eh, I was spookable.

[–]RepostCommenter 10 points11 points ago

So you reposted something that you reposted that you reposted when you stole it from the original poster 5 months ago?

I always look for this in a post. Thank you

[–]Githalantas 7 points8 points ago

Fuck you for posting that movie ...

[–]Lee13412 0 points1 point ago

What movie is this from?

[–]LoneStarA 0 points1 point ago

I believe it's called It. Never saw the movie though. Is it any good?

[–]Magosaur 2 points3 points ago

Read the book first. It's much more terrifying than the cheesy movie effects make it seem.

[–]Githalantas 1 point2 points ago

Stephen King's IT... Saw it when I was 9 gave me nightmares for a week. Tim Curry was never the same after that.

[–]leathergiggle 0 points1 point ago

A week? I couldn't go near the clothesline for 6 months!

[–]Githalantas 0 points1 point ago

Well I grew up watching horror movies and this was the first to give me nightmares.

[–]Daddyoandrawdog 4 points5 points ago

Don't take this personally but I hate that goddamn clown...fuck you pennywise, I hate clowns because of you. I hope he is reading this (Tim curry)

[–]fazelove 7 points8 points ago

I slowly started to hyperventilate after seeing his face. god how I hate this movie

[–]kirbzy 16 points17 points ago

When all else fails, resubmit the post that got you to the front page 4 months ago on your cake day!

Dont make that face you smug bastard.

[–]Faps_Into_Socks 2 points3 points ago

He's in for a surprise when he puts on his socks tomorrow.

[–]NOTICE_MY_USERNAME -4 points-3 points ago

what is kirbzy?

My dog growing up was named Kirby, she was the coolest dog alive.

[–]TARDIS 11 points12 points ago

"And there Georgie kneeled in front of the grinning clown. He could hear all of the cats, see all of the GW karma whores and smell all of the wonderful things reddit had to offer and felt, deep inside of himself, that the clown was telling the truth. So, slowly, he reached out his hand...

"They get upvotes, Georgie. They all get upvotes. And when you're in here with me... YOU'LL GET UPVOTES TOO!

"Yeah... yeah, that sounds pretty great. Thanks, pennywise."

[–]TARDIS 7 points8 points ago

What, no one else read IT? Read IT... reddit. MOTHER OF GOD!

[–]zedsdeadbby 0 points1 point ago

I've read IT. It is one fuck of a lot scarier as a book. The movie is just campy and funny now by comparison.

[–]pokemeintheeye 4 points5 points ago

And we all float down here.

[–]Thameus 3 points4 points ago

I have no idea why that link was already purple, because I don't remember it at all...

[–]Schwarzwind 1 point2 points ago

IT was such a fucked up book, what the hell was with the crazy child orgy in the sewers near the end of the book? I was like, 13 when I read it too. The strangest boner, I tell you.

[–]KansasToAlaska 2 points3 points ago

GRUMPY CATS TOO!

[–]Vilkaz 2 points3 points ago

upvote for having caceday but not teling it in desription ;)

[–]dc512 1 point2 points ago

I don't tell people about reddit to keep it less populated and I get to be the guy with the cool, new stuff.

[–]Burbada 0 points1 point ago

Happy Cake Day!

[–]chrisgrizle[S] -3 points-2 points ago

Happy cake day to you too sir.

[–]NAME_FTW 2 points3 points ago

was looking at his at 12:00 am scared the shit out of me.

[–]Tharishad 5 points6 points ago

No matter the time pennywise always scares the shit out of me.

[–]Nullvoid123 1 point2 points ago

Or, just clowns in general.

[–]paraplegic_grandma 2 points3 points ago

sad thing its a repost... I would have upvoted anything you posted too bc its your cakeday.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]gin-in-teacups 5 points6 points ago

i'm upvoting anyway as it's the first time I have seen it.

[–]Good_Guy_Graig 1 point2 points ago

I try to leave upvotes and karma out of the equation when I tell friends why they should join reddit.

I mean karma is worth nothing outside of reddit so why make a big deal of it.

[–]bjlmag 0 points1 point ago

*there are

[–]whorunnith -1 points0 points ago

Greatest TV movie ever!

[–]LGNNN 0 points1 point ago

I introduced my roommate to Reddit. He made one post showing his baby mullet picture and got around 700 link karma for it. This happened a few weeks ago and I still get asked daily what MY link karma is.

[–]SkwargFunk 0 points1 point ago

Lollipops.... ice cream... cherry pie... and aaalll free today... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUnhfvGdmmw

[–]plast1K 0 points1 point ago

Cats, cats everywhere.

[–]t_rev99 0 points1 point ago

What a coincidence I literally just started reading "It" again minutes ago.

[–]normalite 0 points1 point ago

Its just a website.

[–]infincedes 1 point2 points ago

Dont tell them about the stupid cats.

[–]skm0525 0 points1 point ago

FUCK THIS MOVIE.

[–]TheChrisHill 0 points1 point ago

Man.. I've been trying to find that movie EVERYWHERE to show my wife but I can't find it. Any decent copies online?

[–]msiekkinen 1 point2 points ago

I see it in the $5 bin at target/walmart/best buy quite often. Edit: And if you haven't seen it since you were a kid, be forewarned, it's not as awesome as you remember it.

[–]Angelo_Di_Luce 1 point2 points ago

Juh-juh-georgie?

[–]Roskoe 0 points1 point ago

Do you also feel that way reposting for karma?

[–]Chazz1022 0 points1 point ago

That was great.

[–]LuckygENT 0 points1 point ago

More like... "It's not like what Tosh said.. Trust me!!"

[–]TheClayroo 1 point2 points ago

Hiya Georgie!

[–]LilMissE 0 points1 point ago

upvote for all colors of cats

[–]reneepussman 1 point2 points ago

Why do I have OP tagged as "Racist Shitbag Fuckface?"

[–]BunnieBonnie 0 points1 point ago

And then your entire social life gets raped and murdered, your bloated corpse floating down the front page until you decompose.

[–]SietchTabr 0 points1 point ago

Who, outside of reddit, would even care about an upvote?

[–]Jkb77 0 points1 point ago

Your hair is like winters fire. January ember. My heart burns there too.

[–]Youthsonic 0 points1 point ago

Can we not post penny wise anymore?

[–]mikeaxx 0 points1 point ago

Really? Again with this bullshit? I saw this post like 3 months ago. Fuck off

[–]MugatusDog 0 points1 point ago

[–]asainburrito 0 points1 point ago

[–]ShiaLabooof 0 points1 point ago

The all upvote down here.

[–]monkbernardo 0 points1 point ago

There really should be a [CLOWN] tag like the [NSFW]. Clowns are terrifying, you guys.

[–]BreakingLosAngeles 1 point2 points ago

Source, please. I don't know if I'm just stupid, but this reminds me of the beggining of "It" by Stephen King.

[–]jesuisunpingouin 1 point2 points ago

Ya, it's supposed to.

[–]Anaract 0 points1 point ago

this is a complete repost, title and all

[–]hazel_bottem 0 points1 point ago

Haha, can't stop laughing. It's so true.

[–]kitedown 0 points1 point ago

[–]EstellaHavisham3 0 points1 point ago

Fuck you for putting a picture of my absolute worst childhood memory on here (IT the Killer Clown) and relating it to my happy place.

[–]AceGainer 0 points1 point ago

And then you introduce them to R/Spacedicks.

[–]parashuvincent 0 points1 point ago

"Do the sit on keyboards?" "Oh yes, they sit on keyboards, Georgie, they all sit on keyboards. And when you're down here, with me, you'll sit of keyboards too!"

[–]prof_herp_derp 0 points1 point ago

I read that in Willy Wonka's voice

[–]afroturf1 0 points1 point ago

I would h-have j-j-jumped my ass down th-th-th-th.. he thrust his fist against the post and still insists he sees the ghost. You get the point.

[–]tmt71195 1 point2 points ago

This guy posts some weird shit O.O

[–]AriBBCP 2 points3 points ago

I'm pretty sure you didn't actually make that face.

[–]shanoxilt 0 points1 point ago

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah pretty sure I saw this post and exact title a few months ago.

Fuck you.

[–]Clit_Eatsgood -1 points0 points ago

Ehh Reddit is petty tame. Because of the voting system most people are too scared to speak their mind in fear of receiving down votes so they fall back on puns or cliché comments that garner positive votes, and they don't dare go against the Reddit status quo. This image would be more appropriate when trying to convince someone to go to 4chan where a comment has nothing to lose and is lost forever after then thread goes beyond page 10.

[–]camp_lo -1 points0 points ago

NO NO NO NO NO NO

NOPE'D

[–]corananlime 0 points1 point ago

Sorry but repost

[–]msiekkinen 0 points1 point ago

Is there a name for reposting claims of being a repost?

[–]bacon_please -1 points0 points ago

having no idea what this is from, it reminds me a lot of Old Gregg

[–]SietchTabr 1 point2 points ago

scary movie 2

[–]bacon_please 0 points1 point ago

that's weird because I thought I saw that

[–]SietchTabr 1 point2 points ago

they cut a lot of scenes from the tv version due to... yeah. But this is the clown under the bed that gets it ... in the end.

[–]bacon_please 0 points1 point ago

I take back what I said, I don't think I've seen all of it. But if I had, that might explain it.

[–]drjalexanderphysics -3 points-2 points ago

An IT reference! :D

Edit: The fuck I do wrong now?

[–]chrisgrizle[S] -2 points-1 points ago

Beep Beep!
