[–]kycube 157 points158 points ago

What's even creepier is that that's Adam inside of a Jamie suit. Srsly.

[–]SmilinBob82 37 points38 points ago

I was going to say, that looked more like an Adam dance. Then again, I don't think I have ever seen Jaime dance.

[–]mdjubasak 16 points17 points ago

I beg to differ.

[–]Zbeeble 10 points11 points ago

He only dances when fully submerged.

[–]Chaoangmoh -5 points-4 points ago

TIL people still watch Mythbusters... the show which badly needs a statistical analyst.

Jamie looks like a total douchebag dancing like that (-:

[–]Rule322 2 points3 points ago

It's real science. They also know that the difference between marginal and substantial differences. Science doesn't mean that you try it a lot, it's doing research, saying: Hey, look at this! And then other people try and reproduce it. A scientific fact is reproductible by a different team under the same circumstances, not marginalising every fact you see.

[–]totallymadeupfact 5 points6 points ago

Jaime is actually a professional dancer on the side... little known fact.

[–]jooes 6 points7 points ago

He's an actual diver too. He had a shop in the Carribean or something, and like over a thousand dive hours...

And he has a degree in Russian Literature..

He's pretty much the real life "Most Interesting Man in the World".

[–]ZachGwood 2 points3 points ago

I thought thats what was going on here. I came in search of this comment. Thanks.

[–]AvatarJack 0 points1 point ago

What episode?

[–]Art_Vandalay_Cancer 4 points5 points ago

The episode is "Mission Impossible Mask" from season 9 episode 1. They test if a realistic facial masks be used to bypass security measures as shown in the Mission: Impossible television series. Was a nice episode!

[–]WormSlayer 1 point2 points ago

I was a bit disappointed with that particular episode. Rather than Jamie and Adam having full-face casts taken, the sculptors used some generic heads.

[–]DracoObscura 0 points1 point ago

Well, in their defense, if you're trying to bypass security of some sort with a face mask, doesn't it make more sense to assume that you don't have access to a full-face cast?

[–]WormSlayer 0 points1 point ago

The idea is that you take a cast of the person who is going to be wearing the mask. Then the finished latex will snugly fit the unique contours of their face.

[–]DracoObscura 1 point2 points ago

Ah, I misunderstood the thrust of your statement. And I now agree with your initial point

[–]RockyMurray -2 points-1 points ago

I thought that was digital or something. Thanks for explaining it! I couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong, but I know Jamie is too much of an asshole to have that much fun.

[–]thhhhhee 22 points23 points ago

Why the fuck did you post this?

[–]Rantingbeerjello 9 points10 points ago

More importantly, why the fuck are people upvoting this to the front page?

When did we start celebrating not reading things here?

[–]ExponentialMang 0 points1 point ago

Especially when this submission clearly does not belong in r/wtf.

[–]Dipndots -1 points0 points ago

Thank you. I was about to post the same thing. I don't like how much BS that's on Reddit these days.

My reaction to OP's GIF

[–]Goldcut 0 points1 point ago

I was about to say...where's the increasingly /b/tarded version?

[–]185139 53 points54 points ago

THIS ISNT WTF!!! Seriously what the fuck is up with r/WTF lately. None of the stuff lately has been WTF.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

I'm not sure what's worse about this subreddit. It's content, or the fact that in EVERY FUCKING TOPIC THERE'S SOME FUCKING TOP COMMENT ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE /r/wtf IS GODDAMMIT SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[–]xTRUMANx 2 points3 points ago

Just unsubscribe. Try it out. You could always subscribe again if you want to.

In fact, I'll unsubscribe too and see how I like reddit sans /r/wtf. I doubt I'll miss it. Haven't missed /r/pics. And if I ever get bored, I'll just come visit without subscribing to it. I don't subscribe to /r/askreddit because it's pretty shitty imo, but I do go there every other day when I'm bored with the subs I'm subscribed to.

What have you got to lose?

[–]QuestionableRag 2 points3 points ago

What have you got to lose?

Something to bitch about.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Considering that I didn't realise that wasn't Jaime until someone pointed it out, I'd say it is pretty WTF.

[–]Teekoo 1 point2 points ago

How else would they know the context?

[–]ElBobo 1 point2 points ago

And to add to that, it's just a criticism of a post because it has too many words. 'Murica!

[–]ilikeCRUNCHYturtles 5 points6 points ago

Lately? When does the current state of a particular subreddit become the permanent state of the subreddit? There are newer people every day and what they post will not always live up to the r/WTFness standards of the people who have been here for a while. Same thing goes for r/trees.

[–]Zig-Zag 0 points1 point ago*

We're actually working right now to put together new guidelines for what gets posted in r/trees. Apart from that, and those guidelines should be coming sooner rather than later, you wouldn't believe some of the things us mods remove from the new queue before it even has the chance to see the light of day. It could be a lot worse, let me put it that way.

EDIT And let me give credit where credit is due, the Ent Rangers who help us monitor the new queue are an incredible help in catching some of the more... retarded shit.

[–]ilikeCRUNCHYturtles -2 points-1 points ago

Good to hear. I would not have noticed because I stopped visiting the subreddit over a month ago. Perhaps I will make my way back there soon.

[–]Zig-Zag -1 points0 points ago

I would not have noticed because I stopped visiting the subreddit over a month ago.

:(

Things are changing for the better, I hope. We're trying to get stricter, but to an extent some of what makes it to the front page (and still abides by the guidelines already in place/will be in place) is going to be inherently ridiculous and/or juvenile. It's a big ol' community of people who smoke weed for crying out loud, what do you honestly expect? It's going to be silly!

[–]ilikeCRUNCHYturtles -1 points0 points ago

haha this is true. It just got a little old after seeing the DAE like [Radiohead, nutella, workaholics, ratatat, arnold palmer iced tea, etc] posts for the billionth time. Maybe there needs to be a list of food, bands, movies, etc that r/tress members have posted about numerous times before that have already been acknowledged to be loved by the community to avoid further reposts. I dk, like you said, it's a bunch of stoners doing silly stuff, maybe I shouldn't take it so seriously.

[–]shanoxilt 0 points1 point ago

If you think that's bad, /r/shaskel never had a chance.

[–]scottzophrenic 0 points1 point ago

What the fuck was that?

[–]shanoxilt 0 points1 point ago

The one who will bring darkness to the world.

[–]scottzophrenic 0 points1 point ago

I still don't understand. [5]

[–]shanoxilt 0 points1 point ago

Lady Shaskel will doom the Gropagas.

[–]scottzophrenic 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if you people are serious or not. It's kind of interesting, but I don't know what to make of it.

[–]shanoxilt 0 points1 point ago

Join us and together we shall rule.

[–]rudebuthonest 0 points1 point ago

He just wanted to reap Link Karma, he could of just posted it on the comments of the original link but people love fake internet points.

[–]awesomedave680 0 points1 point ago

Did you happen to see the man cut in half by a train?

[–]Scuttlebuttz93 0 points1 point ago

go to spacedicks, problem solved

[–]JoelMontgomery 0 points1 point ago

Apparently it is actually Adam, so that may add to the wtf levels

[–]MILKB0T 0 points1 point ago

There should at least be a rule that joke submissions are deleted.

[–]zobee 0 points1 point ago

This is in response to an r/WTF post though.

[–]beerMonger11 -1 points0 points ago

This may not be wtf, but dear sweet Jeezus is it funny. New favorite GIF.

[–]vlf_fata -1 points0 points ago

you're so brave.

[–]185139 7 points8 points ago

its more like wtf is this doing in r/wtf

[–]lagasan -3 points-2 points ago*

It's not an option to submit to /r/reddit anymore, so /r/WTF has become the catch-all.

Wha, I didn't say I supported the practice! Don't hate on me cause of what others do :/

[–]ExponentialMang 4 points5 points ago

Is this scarier because people are becoming increasingly more lazy and can't even be bothered to read a few sentences? That we have the ability to do great things, but not the motivation? If so, I would have to agree; that is more frightening than Cthulhu.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]drwilhi 6 points7 points ago

TL;DR

[–]Alienwolf117 0 points1 point ago

Or maybe OP is scared of the emptiness of space and something that scared someone more than OP's greatest fear makes OP scared to read that and instead dances like a hooligan

[–]NimbusBP1729 0 points1 point ago

[–]ExponentialMang 0 points1 point ago

This submission earlier.

[–]AlanLolspan 0 points1 point ago

It's . . .mesmerizing.

[–]NecDW4 0 points1 point ago

Adam in the Jaime mask?

[–]BTAA4TD 0 points1 point ago

That hat is useless.

[–]fetzy 0 points1 point ago

At first I was wondering why you posted this... Then I scrolled down a bit, saw the other post, and said eh, i don't want to read this. I looked at the title and it all made sense...

[–]Dyztopian 0 points1 point ago

Its funny cause its true.

[–]21nipples 0 points1 point ago

NO NO NO NO NO

[–]Cespenar 0 points1 point ago

No seriously, ya'll need to watch this while listening to the Men At Work's, Land Down Under. It will change your lives.

[–]distractthepaladin 0 points1 point ago

I'm thinking the Bloop is from a large mass of algae or bacteria or some such goop, slowly generating gas underneath it which periodically escapes in a big bubble through a hole or from an outer edge.

[–]Luxniom 0 points1 point ago

It's finals weeks all over reddit!?

[–]ZedFish 0 points1 point ago

The real myth is how his hat stays on through all that...

[–]Skeezer1991 -1 points0 points ago

And read he did not

[–]cfinch12 -3 points-2 points ago

Made no sense at a [6] till I went back and actually read the title.. Realizing I just did this comics point not old about the comic, but with that comics title... Therefore I'm too high to explain how I came to this but comiception was the basic joke there.
