I have the same face when people say they originate from Reddit.

[–]i_dont-get_it 10 points11 points ago

I have the same face when people talk about how memes originated.

[–]marler92 48 points49 points ago

4chan if I recall correctly.

[–]OwDaditHurts 36 points37 points ago

TIL people didn't know memes originated from ebaums world.

[–]OCELOT525 7 points8 points ago

TIL people didn't know memes originated from www.billoreilly.com/

[–]atlangler 2 points3 points ago

I was just about to rage, then I realized that you were joking.

[–]OwDaditHurts 4 points5 points ago

I wasn't.

[–]atlangler 1 point2 points ago

but. but. but. they stole all that shit from something awful. there was alot of internet dramas about it a few years ago. YOU CANT BE SERIOUS.

[–]Baconnnnnnnnnn 0 points1 point ago

*a lot

[–]atlangler 1 point2 points ago

I like that it bothered you when I spelt that wrong you didn't care about my other spelling, syntax, and grammatical errors

[–]elint 0 points1 point ago

Erm, yeah, but the nature of the thread is that we're going back in time. Follow the progra. You should have simply just corrected him and said something awful, and then somebody would say dancing baby, and then somebody else would say hamsterdance, and we'd be done.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuckin' fuck.

[–]dietflannel 38 points39 points ago

All I can picture is Bunk and McNulty wandering around that dead girl's apartment muttering "fuck" and variations of it for a solid 4 minutes. That's quality writing.

[–]OmarLittleLives 7 points8 points ago

Then drinking an 18 pack of beer washed down with a bottle of Jameson on the train tracks.

[–]koew 2 points3 points ago

Thanks to you I had to check out some awesome scenes from The Wire all over again, and then I went to check out this and at last I ended up with the season two intro. I fucking love me some Tom Waits.

[–]shamoni 1 point2 points ago

Cheers dude.

[–]scuby22 3 points4 points ago

As you wish

[–]shamoni 0 points1 point ago

Cheers.

[–]kmlux80 1 point2 points ago

My thoughts exactly.

[–]theghostofme 1 point2 points ago

One of the most impressive scenes in television, especially considering that was the only word of dialog spoken the entire time.

[–]tyrannoAdjudica 55 points56 points ago

Man, I hate memes.

[–]reissc 14 points15 points ago

Memes don't exist. Tell your friends.

[–]MichaelFay 75 points76 points ago

4Chan... All I have to say.

[–]panda_foo 24 points25 points ago

YTMND was up there for awhile as well.

[–]monkeedude1212 4 points5 points ago

this was always my favourite YTMND, even though it was never quite NSMB meme worthy.

[–]Subhazard 18 points19 points ago

And SomethingAwful, but let's just say 4chan made them all and let's keep SomethingAwful clean.

[–]HellHaven 10 points11 points ago

SomethingAwful is no longer relevant. It was good site but now the only people who go there are Liberal Fundies.

[–]mhender 11 points12 points ago

Sounds a lot like reddit.

BURY ME NOW SO WE LOOK INFORMED.

[–]Subhazard 6 points7 points ago

Also neckbeards and spergs. The place is shit, don't go.

DONT GO THERE. ITS SHIT.

[–]redbeardo 0 points1 point ago

It at least tell you that in the title of the website. I missed all the .gif collection, comedy goldmine and the choose your own adventures. Also, back when the trolling in World of Warcraft articles were out.

SRS? Like I said. SA is full of Liberal Fundies who get all vagina-sad over anything they don't consider to be PC.

[–]Edso_828 0 points1 point ago

Yup, 4chan pretty much comes up with everything, reddit just feasts of what 4chan shits on a daily basis.

[–]atlangler -2 points-1 points ago

that feel when 4chan stole that feel from krautchan

[–]Pway 25 points26 points ago

Same face as I pull every time one of these retarded threads is posted. Who gives a shit.

[–]msmith84 4 points5 points ago

Upvotes for the Bunk.

[–]Howsmydirktaste 9 points10 points ago

Finished Season 1 last night, love me some Bunk and McNulty. Fuck Fucking Fuck Fuck Fuck

[–]formeorangeme 0 points1 point ago

Great show but you'll tire of McNulty.

[–]Necavi 6 points7 points ago

Everybody comes back for Omar anyways.

[–]DCdeer 0 points1 point ago

I heard the dude who plays Omar is gonna be playing Old Dirty Bastard in a movie.

[–]teganyavo 2 points3 points ago

maybe in season 5 but really that fit his character, if you didn't think he was going to the pawn shop unit like Lester then you're not watching actively

[–]formeorangeme -1 points0 points ago

*****SPOILER ALERT********* * * * * The show really lost my suspension of disbelief when McNulty started biting the dead homeless. That and Omar turning into Superman. I know the show is Reddit Cannon and cannot be criticized. One of my favorite shows, but if they tried that in the first 2 seasons the show wouldn't have lasted.

[–]LeonHRodriguez 0 points1 point ago

--looks up--

"Doesn't hardly seem possible, does it..."

No Marlo, it most certainly does not

[–]teganyavo 0 points1 point ago*

Omar was based on a number of real-life Baltimore stickup boys. One of them actually took a 5th-story leap to escape a shootout and survived

[–]Lohengren 2 points3 points ago

[–]formeorangeme 1 point2 points ago

Agree to disagree.

[–]Quaytsar 19 points20 points ago

For all the people making sarcastic remarks about all memes originating from Reddit (meaning none) and non-sarcastic remarks about all memes originating from 4chan: you're all wrong. Memes don't all originate from one single source. 4chan made many memes, Reddit made many, other parts of the internet made many, some parts of the real world even made some. No one source has a monopoly on meme generation.

Although, due to my limited knowledge of 9gag, AFAIK, no memes have originated there.

[–]TimmaDee 18 points19 points ago

Oh no, of course not, memes originated on reddit.

[–]SourCreamWater 4 points5 points ago

[–]HireALLTheThings 2 points3 points ago

...Is 9gag even a year old yet? I hadn't heard about it until something like a month or two ago.

[–]TheMemeBuster 2 points3 points ago

Who gives a fuck. It's like finding a person eating dog shit then arguing it's cat shit they're eating

Yes yes, we all hate 9gag. Honestly, I could care less.

[–]SeraphicRage 1 point2 points ago

Upvotes for reference to The Wire. Best cop show ever.... As long as you resist the black hole of depression that comes along with following the characters.

[–]Necavi 0 points1 point ago

The Wire isn't just a cop show. It's about the failures of the drug war on so many levels. The characters are minor compared to the overall themes of the story.

All memes originated from Bebo

[–]noly101 0 points1 point ago

If you do the research you'll find out the faces started from all over the internet funnyjunk made forever alone, and me gusta was from a reddit user who posted it one 4chan. Then yeah 4chan made most of them

[–]akki115 0 points1 point ago

The fact that this is taken from "The Wire" makes it more epic!

[–]Denmarkian 0 points1 point ago

YTMND was the REAL meme back in the day.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

i think they came from spaceghetto.st it came out before 4chan

[–]parallelogramjerk 0 points1 point ago

Well, to be fair... It's not like FUNNY ones actually come from reddit.

when a friend tells me the wire is overrated.

[–]Frari 0 points1 point ago

so is 9gag the new ebaums?

[–]robertjchrist 0 points1 point ago

memes originated in a place called YTMND.com

[–]Squishpoke 0 points1 point ago

Implying that Reddit has original content.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Reddit hates 9gag now? What other things can you take from 4chan?

[–]DrEbez[!] 0 points1 point ago

I have this link saved on my phone under "bunk nope motherfucker"

[–]suckthisdeth 0 points1 point ago

it's all from newgrounds right?

[–]Lohengren 0 points1 point ago

Man I love me some bunk

[–]pantallica_51 0 points1 point ago

I imagine him thinking, "yous a Damn fool"

[–]Billy_jack 0 points1 point ago

whenever hear "9gag army", i envision a bunch of kids masturbating onto barney, probably because i used to be on 4chan

[–]wrong_boy 0 points1 point ago

I have the same face when I see people arguing about the origin of memes or discussing memes in person period.

[–]cdude 0 points1 point ago

Number of times 9gag is mentioned on reddit: 9001

Number of times 9gag is mentioned on all other sites I visit: 3

[–]SESender 0 points1 point ago

Oh look! It's the circle jerk that calls itself reddit!

Who gives a fuck where memes come from. If they're funny, they're funny. If not, oh well.

OP's pretentiousness is a whopping piece of shit.

[–]meantism 1 point2 points ago

9/10 they're not. I hate how this website prides itself in "rage faces". You know what this website does? Sap the creativity from people. All you see is the same shit over and over again (not including reposts) all in the same format with the same smugness to them. This website is great once you get passed all the "LE RAGE"

[–]pewpshewtbaby 0 points1 point ago

Your friend is McNutty.

[–]icannotfly 0 points1 point ago

just a humble motherfucker with a big-ass dick

[–]zipandadoublecup 0 points1 point ago

[–]doomed_wizard 0 points1 point ago

How can you make something then use it incorrectly because that's basically what 9gag does (without the making part)

[–]Proc31 1 point2 points ago

Shhhiiiiitttttt

[–]LimpPopsicle 0 points1 point ago

wrong african american from the wire

[–]Proc31 1 point2 points ago

Yeah maybe people are thinking that I got confused but to be honest I was just jumping in with a bit of The Wire that makes me laugh every time. You can't watch The Wire if you can't tell Black people apart.

[–]LimpPopsicle 0 points1 point ago

Well shiiiiiiiiiiiit, my apologies for assuming.

In the words of Denzel, Bunk is mah niggah!

[–]my_irrelevant_story 0 points1 point ago

Didn't a 4chan user declare war on 9gag? It was all I heard about for like 2 days a few months ago

[–]MyOtherCarIsEpona 6 points7 points ago*

The "war" has been going on for months now. 4chan users have been posting the shittiest, most unfunny content they can on 9gag. The problem is, nobody can tell the difference between that and the normal content so it's business as usual.

[–]my_irrelevant_story 0 points1 point ago

Ha, makes sense

[–]DOWNVOTEDBITCH 1 point2 points ago

Except that no one on 4chan really gives a shit except for that one anonymous guy

[–]my_irrelevant_story -1 points0 points ago

Figured as much lol

[–]devilmaydance 0 points1 point ago

I decided to check out 9gag for the first time after reading this, just to see if it was that bad.

Oh. My. God.

[–]Achillesbellybutton 1 point2 points ago

Ha, I was deliberating whether to check it out or not and after your comment, I had to see if it was as bad as you said... It's like all the things that fill reddit with shit. All the pointless rage comics and unfunny joke comics in one website, everyone trying so hard to be funny and reference as many memes as possible as if the internet is an in joke pissing contest.

I wish I'd never been.

[–]poorpinto 0 points1 point ago

Suck a Nigger dick.

[–]Darkling5499 -1 points0 points ago

in regards to ragefaces, about 1/3 came from 4chan, 1/3 came from reddit, and the rest came from a combination of SA/FJ.

[–]boxette -1 points0 points ago

hey that is the same face i make when people think all memes come from reddit!

[–]I_RARELY_RAPE_PEOPLE -1 points0 points ago

Yes, a LOT of things are from 4chan. the thing is...nobody denies that on reddit. Yelling nonstop that reddit steals from 4chan all day and never produces original content is a lie flat out. There's probably a post or two a day, if that, that are taken off 4chan. And each time, everybody knows where it came from cause it's quickly identified.

Reddit has a massive amount of OC, fact.

9gag on the other hand, denies 100% that any other site created the things they take credit for. And they make money off it. And they are gathering a huge fan-base of idiots that are equal to bible-thumpers; "What i learned from these guys, is the truth. I don't care if you try to be nice and tell me the actual truth, i believe these guys."

[–]Elekktrikk -1 points0 points ago

They didn't come from here either, at least not any good ones.

[–]gigantepicante -3 points-2 points ago

Someone literally posted this exact same thing a week ago, except it was Steven A Smith laughing.
