Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

That is Frank Oz. He was in Trading Places as the corrupt cop. And I am realizing that Ernie's other hand (Richard Hunt) was also in Trading Places as Wilson, the Duke's trader.

[–]nigel45 16 points17 points ago

Frank Oz is a John Landis staple. He's in The Blues Bothers as the corrections officer who signs Jake out of prison and gives him back is civilian possessions and he's in Spies Like Us as the exam proctor.

That, plus being the voice of Yoda makes Oz a pretty awesome dude in general.

His name in Spies Like Us is "Mr. Walters" - as written on the blackboard... phew, I've had that in my brain for way too long.

I feel like the guys on the left should be part of a deodorant commercial.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, that would be Jim Henson.

[–]lowScore 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He was probably talking about the other guy. From the way he said it he is implying the commercial would revolve around the other guy always having to smell Jim Henson's pits. Then it would skip to a office Christmas party where the guy gives Jim Henson deodorant. At that point awkward laughs are had by all, but the next seen is them back to work. It shows the man take a big whiff of Jim Henson's pits and he closes his eyes, smiles and sighs. Then the screen zooms out a bit and goes opaque followed by showing a picture of the deodorant. I think that's what he was saying.

[–]KazPinkerton 2 points3 points ago

I would buy the fuck out of that deodorant.

[–]LasagnaSuit 1 point2 points ago

I really dislike the 'you don't know who Jim Henson is? fuck you and your fat wife' culture that seems to be prominent on reddit.

Please remember it's an international website. Not everybody is going to know about the person who you idolize(d when you were a kid).

the muppets

[–]geoman2k 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Also, he's a guy who rarely had any screen time. It's totally possible to have grown up watching Muppets/Sesame Street etc and still never have seen what he looks like. That was the hardest sentence ever the phrase, sorry.

[–]bananahead 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And, in fact, he hated pictures like the linked one because he was afraid it would ruin it for kids.

[–]indenturedsmile 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm pretty sure he was just pointing out that is was Jim Henson. I didn't see a fuck you or any mention of your fat wife, Sr. Cancer Cunt.

[–]kookooktchoo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah I'm confused about that too. Cranky old SeniorCancerCunt

[–]xjeepdotorg -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yet the Muppet show was produced in England, and was internationally distributed from day one. so what's your point?

[–]SeniorCancerCunt 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My point is that the post-toddler Muppets popularity is about 100 times higher in America than it is in other countries.

That would make it a lot less likely for people from that country to actually know who created the Muppets.

Ernies right hand guy

It's Richard Hunt, he was a famous muppeteer, he would probably be more well known if he hadn't died of AIDS back in 1992.

Everyone dies.

[–]P4ngurB4n 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think you understand what I meant. Not everyone dies from aids, cancer or in Jim Henson's case, organ failure due to some crazy illness that killed him within a single day of his admittance to the hospital. The medical staff couldn't even figure out what was wrong with him at first, and couldn't do anything to stop it regardless.

[–]eatingsometoast -1 points0 points ago

I see that Sesame Street never taught you your left/right.

[–]regravity 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ahem...

You may want to revise your statement, what I have said is correct.

As objective observers we see the image above with the person in question to the left of Jim Henson, now if we WERE Jim Henson then it would be correct to say that the person in question was on the right.

Your point is invalid.

Good day.

Sesame employee here -- for the most part they sit on cushions with casters so they can move around, but in scenes that include furniture (beds, chairs, etc.), they stand.

Prairie Dawn lying dead on the shelf is the creepiest part. Also, a very effective anti-perspirant/deoderant must be a primary job requirement of the puppeteer.
