You know what'll be funny? When OP's picture will be tagged with a 9gag mark.

LOL!

Well it would've be funny had it not had the 9gag mark..

Yes. YES. This is the one we downvote.

would you mind repeating what he said so us slowpokes can know?

[–]Paranoism 1 point2 points ago

Danke.

[–]SpaceManAndy 149 points150 points ago

Oh, you've struck a nerve with me! In high school there was this girl that was rather on the bitchy side. I said something funny one day, and I shit you not, (her back was to me) she laughed, turned, saw it was me that said it, and stopped laughing. If something is funny, it's funny. It doesn't matter if you like the joke teller.

[–]ruggala 38 points39 points ago

Co-ed frisbee game in high school. One guy friend slaps a girl's ass. She turns around, thinks it's me and starts getting mad. Then the other guy admits it was him. She is no longer angry. It's not even like those two were dating or anything.

[–]dheisman 22 points23 points ago

Well she clearly wanted to be dating him. :-P

[–]ooNegativeONEoo 6 points7 points ago

For what it's worth, at least the guy jumped in and took the blame, instead of throwing you under the bus. She may have shifted her mood, but there was no guarantee of that at the time.

[–]vnkid 12 points13 points ago

I wish I could traverse time and space so I could pop on into these situations, tell these bitches off, and then disappear again.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

Next season on Doctor Who...

[–]Nizzler 51 points52 points ago

HAHAHA!!

turns

........

[–]toSTONEiGO 5 points6 points ago

yes, but the only good things from 9gag are the things they took from elsewhere, and then they pretend they made it. all their OC is shit.

[–]DWill88 1 point2 points ago

Truth. The memes they try to create are shitty, and they're almost always wrong. E.g. using the Aliens Meme to express their confusion about getting homework on a Friday. Fuck. You.

[–]CleverPunName 10 points11 points ago

You should have slapped that hoe

[–]sammwwise 0 points1 point ago

When I was in high school there was this kid I was friends with. I told him a joke one day and we both laughed. Then he turned around and told a huge group of people my joke, they all laughed, and he took credit for the joke. The joke was still funny, but the guy was kind of a dick for not giving me any credit for it.

[–]Pancro 0 points1 point ago

That would kind of be awkward.

[–]sammwwise 0 points1 point ago

It was but he did it a lot so i was used to it.

[–]thedbp 7 points8 points ago

http://canv.as/p/pgy6r/reply/1190460 the day reddit reposted canv.as nice!

[–]ComradeDoctor 0 points1 point ago

There have been plenty other times.

[–]KharlanTree 25 points26 points ago

So, where a funny picture gets posted determines it's humor value? Interesting...

[–]Aleitheo 15 points16 points ago

Nope, seeing it has the watermark slapped on it makes you think of how the site often steals other people's content without care for the owner.

[–]TheQueefGoblin 2 points3 points ago

Where do you think half of the stuff on Reddit comes from, if not from random sources?

[–]jberth 5 points6 points ago

I hate 9gag as much as the rest of you, but I have to point out that Redditors do this all the time too.

[–]Aleitheo 11 points12 points ago

On 9gag they don't care who made the original and often claim they made the content themselves, even going as far as claiming they are legion and all that crap.

On Reddit people moan when you rehost content somewhere other than the authors site (big hate of blogspam) and whenever someone finds out that someone is falsely claiming they made something, everyone hounds on them and starts pushing the original.

[–]Crystal_Cuckoo 1 point2 points ago

On 9gag they don't care who made the original and often claim they made the content themselves

Again, Reddit does this too. Remember the dude who received a letter with $100 for his stolen Charizard trading card? Turns out it wasn't him who received it, but stole it from another Redditor who posted it on /v/ (or /b/, I can't remember). Yes, there was an outrage about it but it doesn't hide the fact everyone ate it up at the beginning.

On Reddit people moan when you rehost content somewhere other than the authors site

Doesn't stop people from continually doing it though.

[–]Aleitheo 2 points3 points ago

Actually by having people hound you to the point where you delete your account, many are discouraged from trying such things.

On 9gag, people don't care at all. If anything when you bring up the fact that it was stolen, people attack you.

That is one of the big fundamental differences here.

[–]jberth -1 points0 points ago

Yes, but the worst Reddit rehosters have 50k+ link karma. So it's not like they care that people moan in the comments.

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points ago

Just because Reddit doesn't slap a watermark on it doesn't mean Reddit isn't equally as bad at permissions.

[–]DocBarleycorn 6 points7 points ago

Everybody copies, alters, shares and captions images. It's as old as the internet. Seeing all the obnoxious 9-gag watermarks is like buying fruit covered with stickers that read "Shipped by Joe's Shipping! At Joe's, we know what you want!". It's lame and pointless and make people hate Joe's.

[–]Aleitheo 4 points5 points ago

No, the fact that Reddit links to other sites rather than rehosts content, dislikes blogspam, reminds people to link to the original author's site rather than rehost on imgur and most importantly, jump on anyone claiming to make something they did not is what means Reddit isn't remotely close as bad at permissions.

[–]Kosard 1 point2 points ago

ill put your comment back on the positive side, some times reddits logic gets flawed by a troll or two and it just spins out of control!

[–]ooNegativeONEoo 0 points1 point ago

Objectively, it shouldn't. But you're not a robot, apply the human element. Say you hear a catchy song on the radio and you think you've discovered a great new band. You use the lyrics to look it up at home and it's a Nickelback tune. Shouldn't matter, but it will. That'll leave a little shit in your stocking, won't it?

Of course for the purposes of this example, you'll have to pretend that Nickelback could make a likeable song, and that they don't have such an instantly distinguishable "White trash without the edgyness" sound.

[–]DiscordianStooge 1 point2 points ago

Funny. I like songs from artists I otherwise hate. I don't pretend not to like the songs.

Still, l upvoted for the awesome Nickleback description.

[–]ooNegativeONEoo 0 points1 point ago

Yeah. I was gonna put in a disclaimer that I understand some people can be very open-minded, but you're kind of the exception, not the standard.

[–]DiscordianStooge 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure if you're right or not. I don't consider it being "open-minded." I hear all of the talk about the "hive-mind," as if there's no reason to dislike Nickleback besides Reddit doesn't like them.

On the other hand, I guess I've never really gotten the whole "guilty pleasure" thing either. I like some things that aren't high art. I'm not embarrassed by it, though.

[–]livingjoey -1 points0 points ago

I like how you're being downvoted even though you're saying the exact same thing the current top comment said.

[–]Nizzler 5 points6 points ago

There can only be one Chosen One... and the hive hath spoken

[–]chrismikehunt 8 points9 points ago

No.

See the problem isn't that stuff is funny till you see it is from 9gag, no no no.

Its that stuff from 9gag ISN'T funny.

The picture should read:

"Huh.......really??"

"Oh 9gag watermark, makes sense"

[–]rocker5743 1 point2 points ago

The stuff from 9gag is from here and all over the internet. Stop bitching because some other site reposts the same shit this one reposts.

[–]yupitshim 1 point2 points ago

So you've already laughed at it once before?

[–]gold_cajones 1 point2 points ago

what kind of kitty is that... I need one to laugh with me.

[–]Paranoism 1 point2 points ago

someone starts talking about 9gag on a non-9gag website

Instant war.

[–]Povidius 1 point2 points ago

When I see a kitten so cute, I instantly rage at the thought of anyone doing anything remotely harmful to it.

[–]mattatmac 2 points3 points ago

9gag takes content from reddit... that takes content from other sources...

reddit makes some original content, but certainly not all of it, i'd even dispute that most of reddit's front page is original content. Lighten up.

[–]I_am_salad 22 points23 points ago

Reddit has a habit of leaving sourcing up to the poster. Reddit posters usually either link to the original or at least have it in the comments.

9GAG steals the image and tries to claim ownership by way of watermark. It's not just that the users are assholes, it's a systemic problem.

The problem is not lack of originality, it's lack of accreditation.

[–]anisenayati 1 point2 points ago

exactly what this guy just said, to the top with you please

[–]N05f3r47u 0 points1 point ago

It's salad! He always belongs at the top!

[–]omfgitsasalmon 1 point2 points ago

It's like eBaums World 2.0

[–]almighty_bucket 0 points1 point ago

the ebaums of the next generation

[–]Crystal_Cuckoo 0 points1 point ago

Usually? The top twenty posts on /r/funny as of writing are hosted by imgur. I'm not defending 9gag but Redditors too are shocking when it comes to crediting their sources.

[–]I_am_salad 0 points1 point ago

Redditors at least are requested to do so. 9GAG pretty much claims the materials as their own by watermarking.

[–]Crystal_Cuckoo 0 points1 point ago

True, Reddit isn't as horrible in claiming the content as their own by placing a watermark on it.

[–]pietpiraat 0 points1 point ago

Redditors only really credit webcomic writers, anything else is fair game.

[–]CptReynolds 0 points1 point ago

"Lighten up" and "Reddit" in the same sentiment. Do you see the problem here?

[–]xnerdyxrealistx 3 points4 points ago

You missed a golden opportunity to watermark this as 9gag! That would've propelled this joke into legendary status.

[–]HireALLTheThings 1 point2 points ago

That is hilarious and adorable.

[–]bobawesome 0 points1 point ago

[–]fancy-chips 0 points1 point ago

What is 9gag?

[–]TheBigYello1isTheSun 0 points1 point ago

As idiotic as it sounds, I consider the type of people who are 9gaggers to be generally annoying. I know a Romanian chick who is generally not funny, and laughs hard at the most absurd shit, like toilet humor(no pun intended) which I hate more than anything. When she discovered 9gag, it was like the entire Romania discovered internet humor and memes that day, and my news feed became nauseating. Maybe it's just coincidence, but rage comics that got down voted to hell here, are cult classics over at 9gag.

[–]knocklessmonster 0 points1 point ago

For me, it's "Oh crap, there's a watermark!"

Not that it ruins the joke, but I don't like watermarks on works that aren't original..

[–]BabyBananaTree 0 points1 point ago

Haha.... Das meeeeeeeee.... Not:(

[–]kzong 0 points1 point ago

Except your post isnt better than the crap you see on 9gag, congrats

[–]Aun_vre -3 points-2 points ago

[–]shadowray 2 points3 points ago

I agree with you...

[–]almighty_bucket 0 points1 point ago

that's really fucking meta

[–]WillNotConform 0 points1 point ago

I've never actually never seen anything funny on 9gag. Just really, really lame garbage.

[–]SirNiglet -1 points0 points ago

And you care why? Please clear this up for me. Do you feel that images with a reddit watermark should not be posted on other sites?

[–]Ksianth -2 points-1 points ago

9gag is a place for attention whores, for stupid little kids that think they are perfect, intelligent, funny, for smartasses who think they know everything and for dumbass wannabes who brag about the games they play or the music they listen. And you know what is funny? People saying "there is a bitch site called reddit and they steal our posts" now thats HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
