Dat muscle memory

[–]FXOfrequency 101 points102 points ago

The saddest thing is that the "now" was 9 years ago :(

[–]WhyAmINotStudying 56 points57 points ago

Fonzie: Then/Thenner

[–]walruskingmike 56 points57 points ago

Wow, I never got that.

[–]AngryScientist 114 points115 points ago

[–]Limitedcomments 15 points16 points ago

It is just amazing how I have watched and rewatched this series this much and still keep finding these brilliant little things.

[–]am_animator 4 points5 points ago

ham water soup...

that episode is so much better when you couple the fact that the network was demanding they "appeal more to real families." damnit fox.

[–]iamnotaclown 2 points3 points ago

hot ham water

[–]Skwerley 32 points33 points ago

Fucking...Wow dude. Wow.

[–]dclowd9901 14 points15 points ago

Dat show.

[–]Sampsonite20 18 points19 points ago

And this is why Arrested Development is awesome.

[–]DrHeinous 3 points4 points ago

i watched all of the episodes for the first time 2 weeks ago. can't wait for the new season on netflix

[–]annoyinglyclever 1 point2 points ago

read that in Ron Howard's voice... I miss the show so much.

[–]RuafaolGaiscioch 1 point2 points ago

Knew it was gonna be the shark

[–]desmarais -1 points0 points ago

I don't get it. :(

[–]KuramaSutra 29 points30 points ago*

Happy Days is known for coining the phrase 'Jumping the shark' because Henry Winkler (The Fonz) performed a stunt in the sea, where he jumped over a shark on a water ski.

'Jumping the shark' is now known as the point where a show has gone past it's prime and is no longer as funny or good.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Reddit.

[–]groovy2shoes 14 points15 points ago

You are correct. The reverse point, when a show reaches its prime, is known as 'growing the beard', thanks to Riker growing his beard after the first season of TNG, coinciding with the show getting that much more awesome.

[–]falling_sideways 8 points9 points ago

I hadn't heard it before... But I like it. I shall spread the word until "grown its beard" grows its beard.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

TNG?

[–]JackCraic 7 points8 points ago

The Next Generation, Star Trek.

Also, that's not a thing. No one says that.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

"Growing the Beard" is most definitely a thing.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Cheers mate

[–]daroofa 1 point2 points ago

Happy Days went on for another 100 episodes after Fonzie jumped that shark.

[–]KuramaSutra 0 points1 point ago

There's a ton of shows that keep going long after jumping the shark.

[–]DrTom 1 point2 points ago

Here you are!

[–]Igloo444 10 points11 points ago

There are tons of hilarious, subtle jokes in Arrested Development that are easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Yesterday I was rewatching the first episode from season 3 and caught this line:

Lindsey: "We're super rich again! And I'm going to buy a car... the Volvo!" (hands Michael a page she just printed)

Michael: "No, you're not going to start spending money-- and this is not a Volvo."

Lindsey: "Oh, that's from sitting on the copier." (hands Michael a different page)

[–]Lostinservice 6 points7 points ago

This is by no means a subtle joke.

[–]walruskingmike 0 points1 point ago

I love that one.

[–]Hero_of_One 0 points1 point ago

So wait... He sees his sister's vulva and doesn't freak out? (season finale spoilers excluded)

[–]logifal 13 points14 points ago

Fuck man. You have like 15 submissions in the top 50 in /r/all right now.

[–]sjs 3 points4 points ago

By definition he posts things that many redditors tend to like. And due to reddit's growth there is a constant stream of new people to see them. Add those who were around but did not see the older posts and you have a large audience and proven content. It's a recipe for "success".

[–]perfectmachine 222 points223 points ago

I actually don't hate what you're doing, irepostoldlinks. If hundreds of people who haven't seen these yet are amused, who cares if it's a repost?

[–]TerrenceFartbubbler 136 points137 points ago

There are literally DOZENS of us

[–]Shellface 17 points18 points ago

seething with the anger of a couple of suns

[–]glasswing -3 points-2 points ago

I don't mind reposts, but this is the sixth time I've seen this one guy on the front page, in one day. I'm staying to get annoyed.

[–]ForestNine 10 points11 points ago

Why do you care who posts them? If karma is so unimportant as everyone claims, it shouldn't matter who is getting "credit" for the reposts - if they're funny / old enough to get people to upvote them to the front page, then whoever posted them is doing a public service.

[–]fadedspark 3 points4 points ago

If you've seen him that much, He just has good taste. I for one haven't seen ANYTHING he's reposted thus far, which means they can't be THAT old.

[–]benhop 0 points1 point ago

Tens and tens.

[–]msk105 -1 points0 points ago

DOZENS!!!

[–]eldergamesmanship 22 points23 points ago

I'm one of today's lucky 10,000!

[–]give_me_a_number 8 points9 points ago

That was actually rather heartwarming. Who doesn't like a healthy dose of knowledge every day?

[–]redsox44344 3 points4 points ago

62

[–]black19 25 points26 points ago

So far, every single one of these posts have been new to me.

[–]cheechw 2 points3 points ago

These links are a year old. Which means I haven't seen any of them. So I'm happy with what he's doing and I'm going to keep upvoting the ones I like.

[–]Honey_Baked 2 points3 points ago

I actually haven't seen any of these yet.

[–]timofo 1 point2 points ago

I don't mind reposts that much but feel nothing but sympathy for the reposters

[–]AllMyExesAreCrazy 3 points4 points ago

So if I make an account name that explicitly says my links are all reposts then I will get upvotes?

"Knights of new" are fucking retarded.

[–]Eist 2 points3 points ago

If you've seen it, downvote. If you haven't seen it, appreciate and upvote.

It's that simple.

[–]blaackyy 0 points1 point ago

If this repost wasn't here, it would simply be replaced with something else that's entertaining and everyone wins!

[–]aazav -2 points-1 points ago

The thousands of people who have.

[–]ReservationAtDorsia_ 15 points16 points ago

If there are ten times more annoyed people than people who enjoy the links then they wouldn't get to the front page, your argument is invalid.

[–]jimmick 1 point2 points ago

It's a bit sad though, to browse someplace that's ok with regurgitating itself, I'd like to see innovation and original stuff...

[–]LowCarbs -1 points0 points ago

By that logic, it would be okay to recycle all the good content ever posted on the site until Reddit is just an archive of everything that has ever been on the internet. If you know you're reposting, it's just annoying.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]BumbleSting 6 points7 points ago

I hadn't seen this before, and I'm sure many other people haven't either. If you have honestly seen everything that was ever on reddit then give up now, because reports are everywhere.

[–]Thovar 8 points9 points ago

He still has it.

[–]postsboobsinreposts 32 points33 points ago

[–]Limond 8 points9 points ago

Half of that picture I really like.

[–]DandyPirate 1 point2 points ago

The top half?

[–]Specken_zee_Doitch 1 point2 points ago

Scumbag gravity and elastin.

[–]cohrt 1 point2 points ago

i've seen worse

[–]Skwerley 3 points4 points ago

For some reason, this makes me really happy.

[–]silversapp 0 points1 point ago

Could be because it's funny.

[–]wendell_short_eyes 3 points4 points ago

More like then and almost 10 years ago.

[–]yethegodless 14 points15 points ago

Shouldn't it be then/then? Arrested Development stopped filming over six years ago, and this wasn't exactly a late episode.

[–]themadscientistwho 15 points16 points ago*

The new season is coming out this summer. EDIT: Sorry, they are filming this summer, episodes are scheduled to be released early 2013. Thanks to Downy17 for pointing that out.

[–]stryder3323 11 points12 points ago

... My life just got better.

[–]brlito 4 points5 points ago

Whoa this summer?! In like a month or two!?

Aw man I'm so excited.

[–]GoBucs11 8 points9 points ago

It's actually next summer..still exciting though.

[–]brlito 7 points8 points ago

Awww ):< you pigfuckers got me all excited.

[–]Wammis 2 points3 points ago

Not sure if put down or just excited by beastiality.

[–]tonuchi 2 points3 points ago

Actually it is like early next year.

[–]themadscientistwho 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, they are filming this summer, episodes are scheduled to be released early 2013. Thanks to Downy17 for pointing that out.

[–]Downey17 2 points3 points ago

Pretty sure they're filming this summer.

[–]cwilsons 7 points8 points ago

Every picture of you is when you were younger.

[–]MidAmericanNovelties 2 points3 points ago

I used to do drugs... I still do. But I used to too.

[–]txn9 2 points3 points ago

nice to see that tribute in the new shows

[–]Jimothyscrye 2 points3 points ago

I want an oil painting of that.

[–]dandollar 1 point2 points ago

Now/Then

[–]smeaglelovesmaster 1 point2 points ago

Left/Right

[–]wanderer11 1 point2 points ago

So when does Arrested Development season 4 come out? Also, when does the movie come out?

[–]tonuchi 3 points4 points ago

Next year.

[–]gh5046 1 point2 points ago

No matter how many times I see this I always watch it loop several times.

[–]Wammis 1 point2 points ago

Here's the Fonz in another form of then and now.

[–]MoonJive 1 point2 points ago

Best part about Henry Winkler? I hear he is just the nicest guy on the planet.

He did a stand up job of defending Louis CK on The View when those caddy hens wanted to tear him a new one for being anti-woman.

[–]fonzinator 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to get him, eventually....

[–]Muskafan2 1 point2 points ago

Perfect every time.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

"He's very good".

[–]TheOneKnightOfNew 1 point2 points ago

We're all gonna be like 3 little Fonzies! Now, What's Fonzie like? C'MON YOLANDA! WHAT'S FONZIE LIKE?!

[–]Uncle_Father_Oscar 0 points1 point ago

He's cool.

[–]highschoolblows 4 points5 points ago

If you can repost old top links, so can I. http://i.imgur.com/nrrmD.jpg that's me with winkler.

[–]bongolemon 1 point2 points ago

Always good to see a relevant username.

[–]helllomoto 0 points1 point ago

Holy fuck how did I not notice that

[–]too_toked 0 points1 point ago

He's still got it

[–]CrowbarCheese 0 points1 point ago

More like Fonzie now and then.

[–]hellogoobly 0 points1 point ago

More like "Then/10 Years Ago"

[–]Abscurat 0 points1 point ago

This is pure genius. Thank you, Arrested Development!

[–]ANALRAPIST_FUNKE 0 points1 point ago

I'm okay with this.

[–]bibdrums 0 points1 point ago

That just made my day.

[–]NELCgeek 0 points1 point ago

By "now" you mean almost ten years ago?

[–]nschug 0 points1 point ago

The arrested development joke where he jumps the shark is my favorite joke ever.

[–]edahs 0 points1 point ago

you mean Fonzie then and then?

[–]khisk 0 points1 point ago

I never realized that was the Fonz, but it all makes sense now, not to mention Ron Howard directed a good portion of arrested development so that makes sense.

[–]Vanceatot01 0 points1 point ago

I watched this for hours

[–]Uncle_Father_Oscar 0 points1 point ago

Which episode is this from?

[–]TheLaughing_Man 0 points1 point ago

TIL. That in the first season of Happy Days, the Fonz wore a powder blue Members Only Jacket.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

rockin the members only jacket :D ive got the same one.

[–]Fonzie8819 0 points1 point ago

When was a camera setup in my bathroom?

[–]tsdguy 0 points1 point ago

How does he have the time to use the rest room when he spends all his time hawking reverse mortgages.

Maybe we can have dueling reverse mortgages with Fonz, Robert Wagner and asshole extraordinaire Fred Thompson.

(I enjoy the logical discordance when watching a proto-Tea Party, ultra conservative Thompson shilling for a GOVERNMENT BACKED financial product).

[–]bdawg923 0 points1 point ago

Wait holy shit he's in arrested development

[–]TimMitchell 0 points1 point ago

I can't believe this shit. 4 days old, 35k karma, and 10+ posts on the front page. What the hell Reddit, seriously.

[–]ig_88 0 points1 point ago

you mean fonzie 10 years ago when this episode was made?

[–]DutchessPDX 0 points1 point ago

I never understood Fonzie. He was 30+ year old dude hanging out with high school kids. How did this make him cool? He would date HS girls and lived in an apartment above someone's garage. This is the epitome of not cool.

[–]dubineer 0 points1 point ago

Fonzie gets an up vote every time.

[–]Fonz-ehh 0 points1 point ago

Someone called?

[–]devilz_devilz 0 points1 point ago

i watched this for so long

[–]giddyupbugger 0 points1 point ago

It's sad to think that they would never cast someone that looked like him today in a similar role. He'd have to look like some sort of generic ken doll.

[–]not_funny_end_thread 0 points1 point ago

It's almost like you understood the joke, then made a post about it.

[–]cohrt 0 points1 point ago

wow never knew they were the same perosn

[–]wizy57 0 points1 point ago

AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY

[–]Mousi 0 points1 point ago

Barry Zuckerkorn is Fonzie? WTF? I can't believe this..

[–]stevo_stevo 0 points1 point ago

Thats it Otto! This is not happy days, you are not the fonze!! eyyyyy Mr S.

[–]aazav 0 points1 point ago

Reposted, now and then.
