The day I told my hot Dentist to check out Reddit is the same day that CNN did the story on Reddit Jailbait. Everyone came to front page to say why we needed to keep it so bad. now she wont rub her boobs into my shoulder while shes working on my cavities. Thanks, you pervs.

"So this one time we had Woody Harelson do an AMA..."

AmishSlayer · 8 months

Me: "I think I'm going to have to grab a drink to celebrate hitting the front page for the first time on Reddit today"

Friend: "What's Reddit?"

Me: "Funny you should say that..."

Later

Me: "Look at this post, transformed by the upvotes and downvotes from the users. Do you see?"

Friend: "What is wrong with you?"

wrigsam · 8 months

"So you're telling me all these hours you've spent on Reddit you've been looking at pictures of cats, reading about a guy who hasn't shat in a month, debating the morality of a subpage dedicated to pictures of minors, and obsessing over completely useless "karma?"

"Well... I mean... yeah."

whorecrux · 8 months

I always click "view all images", and there's always something that ruins it.

3izwiz · 8 months

The episode is "Cartman's Incredible Gift", Episode 13 from season 8.

3yrlurker2ndacct · 8 months

Redditor: "So yeah, you can just post things or comment on posts, and people up/down vote you and get KARMA! It takes a while to build up; I have 2000!! The BESTTT posts make it to the front page! It's really hard, I've been trying for years."

Friend: "Sounds neat I guess."

2 days later

Friend: "Posted a type-o in the title, made it to the front page, got 3000 karma."

Redditor: "Fuck you."

Chrimbus_special · 8 months

I always do that. "Look at this on my laptop, it's funny."

after a couple seconds in... "Do you see? DO YOU SEE?!"

brunudumal · 8 months

you need to introduce them slow

start with a subreddit of funny and happy images like /spacedicks

dtthelegend · 8 months

all you have to do is send them to a subreddit related to their interests. My friend showed me r/earthbound and i later branched out. Now I have insanely low amounts of vitamin d.

Schr0dingerr · 8 months

This is funny right? Don't you think this is funny? Yeah it's hilarious isn't it? twitch twitch

orangewaterbottle · 8 months

Me trying to explain reddit to some friends the other day: it's the front page of the internet! but really... it's like, a lot of cat pictures, actually a lot of cute animals, and athiests, there's a lot of athiests too... mostly liberal and open minded people. cats are a big part of it. someone listening in goes "actually, that's a pretty good description"

omplatt · 8 months

I think it's more like this.

JoseFeliciano · 8 months

A whole new world!!!!

Anathema47 · 8 months

"This is r/spacedicks. DO YOU SEE?" Yes, yes! I see it! Please just stop, oh god! Please!

damnyoueffin · 8 months

Whenever I try to show MY friends reddit, the front page is full of inside jokes and they think I'm retarded. "Why would you freeze soap? Just take a fucking shower". They'll never understand.

dodgyville · 8 months

Reddit: it's a whole new world ... of uncle f*cking

afkobaya · 8 months

For me they're more like, "Why do they keep talking about pre-teen girls?"

VickysAsleep · 8 months

99% of the time - "I can't work the layout, how do you read this?"

cogneuro · 8 months

The harmonies in A Whole New World make my heart fill with joy.

SushiGradeNarwhal · 8 months

For me it usually goes.

Me: Ever heard of Reddit?

Friend: No.

later, on a computer

Friend: Looks boring, what do you do?

Me: I don't know... click on stuff...

5 hours later

Me: Okay, can we do something else now?

orzydorzy · 8 months

Rule #1 of Reddit: Don't talk about Reddit

Makeshiftzelda · 8 months

Hit it right on the nose. None of my friends come to Reddit or understand memes. So no one gets my jokes :(

secretredfoxx · 8 months

"I can show you the wor.... PUT THE LOTION IN THE BASKET."

suekichi · 8 months

Yeah, I noticed this, too. People are oddly non-recessive when I introduce them to Reddit.

Kitty_McWhiskertips · 8 months

When is does go like the top image, all they fucking talk about is reddit.

"Hey did you see that post on Red-"

"Shut the fuck up, Alex.

Or

"Not sure if joking or-"

"Keep that shit on the internet, Alex.

Or

"Hey, wanna go surf Reddit togeth-"

"Why? Why the fuck would I want to do that?"

Or when he starts trying to imitate rage faces. When talking to girls. He sits there and scrunches up his face in the middle of conversations, and then he actually explains what he's doing. And then pulls out his iPod to give examples. Examples he has saved into his photos.

Saved. Into. His. Photos.

tooawesomeforwords · 8 months

Once I introduced reddit to some of my friends in school. They thought it was stupid at first then about fifteen minutes later I looked over and saw that they were both sill browsing. I've done good.

Ohnoeee · 8 months

That's more like introducing someone to 4chan. SEE THIS FUNNY STUFF?! It'll keep you entertained because it's RANDOM. But beware, ye may run into things that'll ruin your eyes and mind.

[deleted] · 8 months

You will fucking enjoy it and be a redditor like me!!! fucking narwal and goddamn bacon!!!!!!

oldendaze2 · 8 months

Definitely a good example. My kids got me here and so far it has been a mixture of "interesting" "wtf?!" "oh that's inter...omg nooo..." "I see what you did there" "fire alone won't kill that enough"...etc

But then again it was my daughter who showed me 2 girls and a cup and taped my reaction for her friends -_-

msteck · 8 months

reddit is an inherently antisocial medium

[deleted] · 8 months

Very accurate, 9/10

broomsweeper · 8 months

A few friends and I, who live in different parts of the US discuss stuff from Reddit every other day or so. It's amazing to get reactions from people you actually know about the content on here.

needauniqueusername · 8 months

That is usually how my first dates go as well...

AuxiliaryPost · 8 months

When I try to introduce friends to Reddit : "Baaaah that's bullshit they're just copying 9gag !!"

I hate my friends.

Mackinstyle · 8 months

I can show you Reddit....

poopinlikeagypsy · 8 months

I laughed so hard I pooped.

evelynpeach · 8 months

I actually was just showing my roommate reddit for the first time right before I saw this... "see...see.. it's so awesome, they even have a Matt Damon/pony thing going on... and pictures of dogs" (like that was going to help) She was like "oh" probably thinking: is she done?, then I saw this and I yell to her in the kitchen "hey look at this on red... yeah nevermind"

MMMREESESCUPS · 8 months

I showed my guidance counselor /r/askscience and she was quite impressed.

KingOfBacon · 8 months

This is me giving you an upvote, do you see?

JudoJedi · 8 months

I have an embarrassingly slow internet connection (F U CLEARWIRE), but as the picture slowly loaded, it actually worked to the comedic punchline: I started laughing like a maniac. It was like...an internet tickle.

Olukon · 8 months

This may be the greatest analogy in the history of the universe.

hobojanedoe · 8 months

For any kick ass movie fans, it also might go something along the lines of this... http://imgur.com/BR8JJ

Ironhalo · 8 months

DO YOU SEE!

Animystic · 8 months

Whenever I show someone some pictures I alway say "See, do you see?" People usually don't get it.

hamsterwheel · 8 months

DO YOU SEE!?

Xwielder · 8 months

My best friend is a redditor, he got me here. His girlfriend prefers 9GAG, says Reddit layout is confusing. And he was telling me about this one time, he got his roommates to check Reddit out, and after clicking one link on 7f12u, he started browsing imgur. So another friend asked what he was on, the bastard said "Oh, just browsing 9GAG"

TL;DR: These idiots prefer 9GAG over Reddit.

KoolCat13 · 8 months

I still am nauseous about reading that there is a subreddit with pics of dead kids. That's just wrong.

nblinder · 8 months

This is what happens when you apply a penis pump to your anus. DO YOU SEE?!

RobMill · 8 months

rest assured, this will be on 9gag next week. With poorly MS painted "When I try to introduce friends to 9gag!!! copyright 9gag.com"

soupatroopa · 8 months

Oh god, I tried showing my friend how ridiculous space dicks is (I had seen it once before and it was just crazy). The first link I click on was 4 or 5 dudes beating off onto an old man. My friend asked me what the hell I'm all about these days. It was embarrassing. Space dicks, never again.

covert888 · 8 months

Can someone tell me the name of that south park episode?

Baldrick666 · 8 months

I allways have to say "Ignore the cats & the athiest rants, and it's amazing."

(For the record, I don't have a problem with athiest rants, it's just that they're fucking everywhere.)

snickers46 · 8 months

Well that's what it's like when you show them /r/spacedicks first.

toy121 · 8 months

My friends were like alright that's cool now let's smoke some weed lol

hellokevo · 8 months

wait u thought there would be girls here?

[deleted] · 8 months

I'm showing my friend how to use reddit, and this was shown 2 minutes in, thank you reddit.

Wraith12 · 8 months

I get a bunch of my jokes that I tell to my friends from Reddit, when they ask me where I got them from I usually pokerface and say I came up with them myself.

JfreakingR · 8 months

You get me AmishSlayer, you get me...

[deleted] · 8 months

I've introduced so many people to Reddit and their first reaction is always to criticize the UI / Layout / Color Scheme of the website. I urge them to stick with reddit for a single week and if they still dislike the community that this website offers after that I will never mention the site to them again.

Of the 10 - 15 or so people I have introduced to Reddit about 10 of them are super mega 100% addicted to Reddit and the other 5 browse it casually while on the shitter or at work.

imakitty · 8 months

stop introducing your friends, they are making things worse sir!

Jniede · 8 months

Tried explaining Reddit to a friend...then he saw spacedicks.

Zalbu · 8 months

The girl I fancy browses 9gag, and when I told her to check out Reddit because that's where the content on 9gag comes from, she said she didn't browse Reddit because "its layout is confusing". Do I still get the green light from Reddit to continue with my quest to conquer this woman?

Explosions_Hurt · 8 months

What South Park episode is that picture from?

jt2515 · 8 months

First rule of reddit, don't talk about reddit!

balladavid · 8 months

[deleted] · 8 months

It's so true.

Dead on. Tried this with my wife recently, and ever picture she clicked on was from /wtf.

Iwokeupwithoutapillo · 8 months

When I try to introduce friends to reddit. [FIXED]

AlexZander · 8 months

My brother was interested in anime and japanese shit so I showed him 4chan and eventually 2chan.

Pic related.

RgyaGramShad · 8 months

Instead of "showing someone reddit," I've found it's much better to show someone one article or self post. If they're the type of person who'd like reddit, they'll look around more on their own.

tooawesomeforwords · 8 months

Once I introduced reddit to some of my friends in school. They thought it was stupid at first then about fifteen minutes later I looked over and saw that they were both sill browsing. I've done good.

Squirrelson · 8 months

I just show them things relevant to their interests.

And when in doubt /r/aww it out.

[deleted] · 8 months

Well some of my friend know Reddit as "the site where the porn is".

needmoarbass · 8 months

How do I get my friends addicted!?!?!?!?!?!????

My 'save' button doesn't work; just commenting to save this for later.

KingRBPII · 8 months

Thats so funny

rice_wench · 8 months

LOL I can relate, I see my brother on 9gag and I've tried telling him about reddit a couple times, he refuses to look. Every time I see him on 9gag, it hurts me.

comity92 · 8 months

can't agree more bro

Arrant_Theif · 8 months

Surprised there isn't a FTFY post

jselvey · 8 months

haha it's so true

Alcede · 8 months

Genius!

dantegrin · 8 months

The sad part when this is a fact...

mbgluck · 8 months

Except you'll only get that kind of reaction from something like spacedicks

jgarc230 · 8 months

lol haha reddit is not that bad, that picture is more relevant with 4chan

bigbillhell85 · 8 months

This is the pain of being downvoted to oblivion. Do you see???

CarnyWife · 8 months

I feel like a celebrity for knowing someone who made it to the front page. I owe you a beer for this, right?

JankstarrK · 8 months

I always find myself just sending like 20 imgur links to all my non reddit friends and theyre always like where the fuck do you get this shit?

When I introduced a friend/guitar student to reddit he found I horror story I wrote about him and got really pissed and stopped taking lessons. :) Good times.

This just happened to me when I tried to explain sudden incest to my friends and cousin :(

QuadsNotBlades · 8 months

Where I first came on reddit, i was like "a list of new stuff.. and some vague categories... not interested." I kept using my rage comic app and then I discovered "let's not meet" several months later, and decided to give reddit a second chance... now i am hooked.

[deleted] · 8 months

Very nice

[deleted] · 8 months

I have never succesfully introduced a friend to Reddit. I only know that people are on Reddit because they all of a sudden say that Reddit is what is left of the internet.

kingskeepmarching · 8 months

Funny, I saw this on tumblr first.
