Your "phew" is the only reason I kept on watching.

[–]DickMoveAdam 106 points107 points ago

He could have been a total dick and used a misleading "phew."

My dick was erect in.. actually I'm not sure why it was erect.

[–]Deracination 15 points16 points ago

A gif of people talking? You're looking for a video.

[–]silenc3x 5 points6 points ago

maybe under different circumstances. in this instance I really just needed to point out the blood-filled fright phallus.

[–]Deracination 7 points8 points ago

Bllod-Filled Fright Phallus seems like the name of porn I'd be very interesting in seeing.

[–]silenc3x 3 points4 points ago

Might be time to setup a kickstarter project.

[–]KilianaNightwolf -1 points0 points ago

Also a good name for a metal band.

Fear-ection, nice

FTFY, click "formatting help" under your text box for more info. Standard html = no good.

[–]no_othername 2 points3 points ago

THANK YOU! also, damnit! I was trying to figure out how to link it but just started posting to reddit.

"Hey Dave, long time listener first time caller," kind of thing.

God dammit, now that is going to show in my searches

[–]twistUPaCOMMENT -3 points-2 points ago

well im sorry. i was trying to paint a picture here.

[–]edlorenz7 0 points1 point ago

Just realized that this is a truly diabolical way of tolling someone... get them to click a link to something obscene on Amazon, and now Amazon knows you love ass dildos.

Friends and family using your computer? Clearing the cache won't do it anymore... Go to amazon: "Based on your interests, here are 10 vibrators and a cock ring!" "More items based on recent searches: anal beads!"

[–]pteek -1 points0 points ago

NSFW!

Tag it dammit!

[–]twistUPaCOMMENT 1 point2 points ago

its sfw imo.... also the comment is about a puckered butthole.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

fair enough. don't check on links referring to puckered buttholes while at work.

[–]pteek -1 points0 points ago

Then use it as a wallpaper.

[–]twistUPaCOMMENT 1 point2 points ago

done. thanks for the suggestion.

[–]pteek -2 points-1 points ago

Welcome.

BTW, pics with people watching it or it didn't happen.

[–]twistUPaCOMMENT 0 points1 point ago

pics of people watching my wallpaper?

edit: here

also: here

Close enough.

I was panicking so bad

[–]hanncamp 2 points3 points ago

I kept inching my phone away from my face. The "phew" didn't come fast enough.

[–]jigglesv 4 points5 points ago

Halfway through the .gif I was afraid the OP made it misleading and that the first comment was sarcastic and your comment was sarcastic...I went paranoid parrot...I scared myself .___.

[–]JVNT 1 point2 points ago

Same here.

[–]anonymouslives 65 points66 points ago

It will just come right back up the stairs again. You can't kill damnation, especially by it falling down some stairs.

[–]whats_reddit_idk 11 points12 points ago

Good Halloween reference

[–]anonymouslives 2 points3 points ago

Nice catch, Halloween IV to be exact. The old drunk preacher guy who picks up Dr. loomis says it!

[–]BryanWake 1 point2 points ago

"It don't die like a man dies...yes, we'll gather at the river! The beautiful, beautiful river!"

[–]milleribsen 8 points9 points ago

What if it's a Sysaphus type situation, he'll always walk up those stairs, and fall down for eternity.

[–]karl-marks 4 points5 points ago

What if? I keep watching this gif, and I am pretty sure that is exactly it. Thank goodness.

[–]I_have_a_dog 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but it does give you time to go get a gun. And Thomas Jefferson wouldn't have given me the god given right to own a gun if it couldn't kill a stupid whipped cream monster, now would he?

[–]harebrane 36 points37 points ago

So that's what happens when SCP-087-1 gets drunk

[–]chaosgone 15 points16 points ago

I love that site.

[–]ciny 8 points9 points ago

[–]chaosgone 0 points1 point ago

That's a good one!

[–]wakko_warner 2 points3 points ago

Ok, I'm not easily scared, but that site gives me the fucking chills. I like it!

[–]chaosgone 0 points1 point ago

I agree. Some of them are really creepy.

[–]AreYouEighteen 3 points4 points ago

What did I just read? To many stairs? Couldn't find much info on the site, besides a story of colors and a stone and entities I'm more confused now.

[–]zamadaga 5 points6 points ago

To start off: It's not real, of course.

It's a collective site about a group called the SCP Foundation, think the show "Warehouse 13" except a lot of the things are life threateningly dangerous or scary.

About that particular link about the stairwell: The entire stairwell itself IS the object, in this case. It somehow goes down a much further way down than it appears it should, with some creepy features such as a child crying for help that never seems to get any closer, and a mysterious face that appears makes everyone NOPE the fuck right back up the stairs.

[–]jherazob 1 point2 points ago

The SCP Foundation is a wiki that serves as a collection of reports on fictional artifacts/humanoids, based around the idea of a international agency that contains items that threaten the normality of the world. These items are referred to as SCPs, with each one given containment procedures, a description, and history of experiments on them.

From the TVTropes entry on that wiki

[–]ciny -1 points0 points ago

from what I understood it's a fanfiction site about "the foundation" which is organisation that contains and studies paranormal activities. conspiracy theory fanfiction if you like...

[–]cakedestroyer 3 points4 points ago

I'm too terrified to click, but is that the site that's full of NOPE stories?

[–]liquidMountaun 13 points14 points ago

Not really, although there are some NOPENOPENOPE SCPs. Particularly SCP-1981...

[–]harebrane 0 points1 point ago

You may want some valium before venturing onto that site then, yeah.

[–]cakedestroyer 4 points5 points ago

Are they just text? Because I love the text ones, I just heard that some of them have pictures, and that shit would make me flip right the fuck out.

[–]harebrane 6 points7 points ago

It's a mixed bag.

[–]ciny 1 point2 points ago

I just spent 2 hours on that site. my boss will thank you. Some of the stories are quite fun.

[–]harebrane 1 point2 points ago

It's truly a diabolical timewaster, isn't it? That site contains some of the most horrific or just plain mind bending collaborative fiction I have ever seen.

[–]a11city 0 points1 point ago

what is this? i dont get it?

[–]wavetoyou 0 points1 point ago

i hate you

[–][deleted] ago

[–]relevantusername- 0 points1 point ago

Too bad you were late then.

[–]Scarjaka 24 points25 points ago

I think at some point someone made one where if you watch it twice the 2nd time something scary pops up instead of him falling down.

[–]DistinctlyBenign 5 points6 points ago

I want to see that version now. Anyone has link?

[–]the5souls 26 points27 points ago

Nope.

[–]barbehque 4 points5 points ago

[–]DistinctlyBenign 1 point2 points ago

TY!

Although, far less scary when you are expecting it. :P

[–]barbehque 0 points1 point ago

yeah, wait a few months and post it again, that'll get 'em

[–]ragefrox 25 points26 points ago

this got scary the second right before he falls forward

[–]esmeralda13 9 points10 points ago

I jumped, not gonna lie.. ಠ_ಠ

[–]noisemaker209 16 points17 points ago

Source (It's a lot funnier with the sound.)

[–]ShivaNZ 1 point2 points ago

Agreed. The gif made me smile, the video made me almost piss myself laughing. I love the ending.

[–]utilitybelt -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, the bit at the end where he looks at the camera and his entire body language is "fuck this, I tried" and he limps off is great.

[–]petenice36 0 points1 point ago

butchykid is awesome, stumbled upon this a few years ago before i knew of reddit. the bigfoot series is my personal favorite.

[–]closetkid[S] -1 points0 points ago

loll good find

[–]ciny -2 points-1 points ago

The only way it could be funnier if was finished with this

[–]Bladewing10 79 points80 points ago

/r/funny.

No seriously, /r/funny.

Are you understanding that this shit needs to be posted as far away from /r/wtf as possible?

[–]maaaamilkshakebrings 11 points12 points ago

I agree--this isn't WTF if I just died laughing.

[–]magicker71 1 point2 points ago

It's also been reposted about 3000 times.

[–]OMROKER 23 points24 points ago

This went from... Oh god please no... To..laters bitch...

[–]Pilot824 10 points11 points ago

And to think I was going to go downstairs for some food, Hahaha.. ha... fml

[–]Polite_Insults 0 points1 point ago

Jokes on you, I am downstairs...

Thats okay I don't need to go to bed tonight.

[–]Pilot824 0 points1 point ago

... im subscribed to /r/guns lol

[–]Polite_Insults 1 point2 points ago

Yes my 2nd favourite subreddit.

[–]TaviousRex 19 points20 points ago

The first few seconds i was like "FUCKING NOPE"

[–]lostinsurburbia 14 points15 points ago

It was like a scene from scooby doo.

[–]mach-2 0 points1 point ago

Scooby doo was never this scary though.

[–]justmelike -5 points-4 points ago

^ This right here? I came here to post this.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Righ Rhere?

[–]justmelike 0 points1 point ago

Jinkies!

[–]kingofthehillpeople 4 points5 points ago

This actually happened to a friend of mine who is a mummy

[–]PNut_Buttr_Panda 6 points7 points ago

In the US this is basically "how to get shot in the chest creeping around the house 101"

[–]HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO 2 points3 points ago

Title was a total spoiler.

[–]ohthedaysofyore 3 points4 points ago

Is... he wrapped in toilet paper...?

[–]Pomguo 3 points4 points ago

Man, what is it about shoddy costumes and ungainly movement that sets off some kind of weird primal horror in me? This was as unnerving as the original Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.

[–]Chownado 4 points5 points ago

Mummies have feelings too.

[–]Damadawf 1 point2 points ago

I don't get why everyone seems to think this is scary. Is pretending that it's scary some sort of inside joke I missed in the last 15 minutes while I left the pc to go and take a dump or something?

[–]laudalelemera 1 point2 points ago

This is very old and once a hit on reddit and once again it's popular.

[–]Pnoy1337 2 points3 points ago

The guy who does these videos is BUTCHYKID264 (i think). He usually does a bunch of funny fake Bigfoot videos.

[–]Sven__Hoek -1 points0 points ago

HOLY SHIT, IT'S A BIGFOOT

[–]djalbino 1 point2 points ago

It's ok, he just got tripped by the little girl that watches you sleep.

[–]WwReptaRwW 2 points3 points ago

Timmy, I told you to stop putting butter on the stairs!

[–]FishyPickles -1 points0 points ago

Timmy Timmy Timmy. TIMMY!

[–]Good_Guy_Graig 1 point2 points ago

Yeah thank god for Reddit Enhancement Suite because the closer he got the smaller I made the gif window. That was pretty creepy.. till you know... he fell.

[–]closetkid[S] 1 point2 points ago

ahahahha..

[–]HeyBudHessel -1 points0 points ago

The repost is strong in this one.

[–]LordTacoSauce 0 points1 point ago

I believe it's from the grifter

[–]yourrepostsuckscock 0 points1 point ago

Your repost sucks cock

[–]ThisIsntWTF 0 points1 point ago

Wow! That's Funny!

[–]shmainslie 0 points1 point ago

I have never understood why people are afraid of mummies. I know that there were a bunch of old mummy horror movies which probably instilled fear in some children of certain generation, but the mummy fear must have existed before to have inspired these films.

Mummies are dead, and if they were magically brought back to life, they're still just bones and dried skin wrapped in petrified cloth. Just kick it and it'll crumble to pieces.

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm genuinely confused. What's up with this?

[–]theillinestvillain 0 points1 point ago

Damnit. I was trying to go to bed, and then I saw this. and then he fell down some stairs, and I am still freaked out. Damn you closetkid, damn you to hell.

[–]closetkid[S] 0 points1 point ago

[–]theillinestvillain 0 points1 point ago

I'm over it now.

[–]poopfeast9000 0 points1 point ago

I'm gonna watch a horror movie in theater and never stop laughing because if this

[–]lucw 0 points1 point ago

Hmm I wonder what this could be click first frame back NOPE

[–]Joja92 0 points1 point ago

fuck fuck fuck, that just kept getting scarier and scarier. Fuck basements. You gotta get the fuck out of those things and not look back.

[–]Droidiq 0 points1 point ago

I read the comments first before watching it till the end. Phew.

[–]TheYuppieWord 0 points1 point ago

The second I clicked I was like lolnope and left. Saw that you put "phew" and went back to watch the whole thing. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT BITCH FALL DOWN THOSE STAIRS.

[–]NickyWillz 0 points1 point ago

So THAT'S the thing that grabs your ankle if you don't make it up the stairs in time.

[–]oonix8 0 points1 point ago

Brazzers

[–]newcirclejerkmod -2 points-1 points ago

how the fuck is this in wtf? seriously? if something is walking UP the stairs at you at fucking .0000009 mph, jump the bitch and kill it. fucking pussies.

[–]All-American-Bot 7 points8 points ago

(For our friends outside the USA... 0000009 mph -> 14.5 km/h) - Yeehaw!

[–]ShivaNZ -1 points0 points ago

That's like .... RUNNING up the stairs.

[–]newcirclejerkmod -4 points-3 points ago

uh, except I said POINT000009 mph. meaning, it's moving fucking slowly, dont' sit there and watch it walk up the stairs so it can kill you.

[–]jamierc -1 points0 points ago

0.0000009.mph. All-American-Bot - are you out there?

[–]Skwink -1 points0 points ago

They should put stuff like this in horror movies. The unexpected event would be good.

[–]fauxfoe 0 points1 point ago

YES. The occasional comic relief helps balance things, I think.

[–]RedRota -2 points-1 points ago

This. Is. Awesome.

[–]contradicting_you -1 points0 points ago

Someone should get this to loop on just one step, but seamlessly somehow? I dunno.

[–]CrazyBastard -1 points0 points ago

upvoted cuz still funny even though its a repost

Riddikulus

[–]Blagginspaziyonokip -1 points0 points ago

BLATANT REPOST. Seriously! What da fuck! This was on r/funny a long time ago! The title is even in the same sense as the original post! Fuck you OP, there is no possible way that you never saw the post on r/funny you dickbutt. OP is a fag.

[–]closetkid[S] -2 points-1 points ago

Lol I hope you're joking.

[–]ohaye -1 points0 points ago

Does anyone know the source of this GIF? I know its from a youtuber who did similar parody videos about big foot, and they were hilarious, im trying to find the channel now.

[–]dopeydoe -1 points0 points ago

This may be funny but it is why since I was 6 I run up every set of stairs at night and NEVER look back!

[–]siriusgrey -1 points0 points ago

Ha! OP is Shia LaBeouf.

[–]sdchick619 -1 points0 points ago

Have an upvote sir. Rarely does a post make me have a mini panic attack and then make me laugh me ass off. Well done.

[–]cassarahangel -1 points0 points ago

I made the mistake of watching this on my phone, in my bed, in the dark.

Sleep? Who the fuck needs that?

[–]spades20 -1 points0 points ago

If he didn't fall at the end this would have been actually pretty terrifying. Some how that resolution made it okay to me...

[–]BryanWake -1 points0 points ago

I smacked my dick off the screen the second he fell, pretending my wang was a superhero protecting me from evil. I really need to reexamine my life.

[–]DazzaChuth -1 points0 points ago

PIERCE!

[–]hellohello098 -1 points0 points ago

didn't wait for the phew. couldn't stand it.

[–]l1zrd -1 points0 points ago

That's some scooby doo type of stuff.

[–]TrashAudio -1 points0 points ago

I kinda feel sorry for the guy/girl; looks like they were shooting a scene for a homemade movie and were like "This is gonna be so terrifying" as they were ascending the stairs, and then they just fall at the last second.

[–]TheMindfulFool -1 points0 points ago

That's a wrap, people.

[–]emxly -1 points0 points ago

HAHAHAHA.

[–]TP_monkey -1 points0 points ago

Comic relief at its finest.

[–]JCamx -1 points0 points ago

That was so hard to watch, until the lolz I had at the end.

[–]JRLSprague -1 points0 points ago

Every gif i see get posted on reddit ive had saved in my folder for a long time...

[–]FlyingRabidUnicornPi -4 points-3 points ago

[–]Sprinkles169 -2 points-1 points ago

That looks exactly like my stairs. If I got up, opened my door, and looked to the left, it looks just like that stairwell. It's 3:30 AM and luckily I only found it slightly creepy.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

could i have more downvotes pls sir?

[–]Linz1995 -3 points-2 points ago

Is it me? Or does is look like this...thing is bringing darkness as he walks? (Look at the walls and stairs, they get darker)

[–]farkdog 3 points4 points ago

There are these things called "shadows"...

[–]sapo916 -3 points-2 points ago

By the time that guy makes it up the stairs I'm out of the house with my gun and hiding behind my neighbor.

[–]aceoftrachs -3 points-2 points ago

I wasn't ascared until he fell.

[–]PNut_Buttr_Panda -4 points-3 points ago

I thought he got shot at first. Watched it again he just tripped. I am disapoint.

[–]aceoftrachs -1 points0 points ago

Boo got shot?
