[–]ToucanPlayThisGame 52 points53 points ago

Similarly awesome -- that moment when I recognize the (alledgedly) famous person in those "Guess who I met today ..." posts!

[–]PoopinWhileIMadeThis 11 points12 points ago

Do people really have that much trouble with them? I've only had a few that I didn't know.

[–]Dhund 24 points25 points ago

Yeah. The post really should say 'I met (insert celeb name here) today!'

Because a lot of us don't know who the person is supposed to be.

[–]ComebackShane 18 points19 points ago

But then how would we do the old reddit switch-a-roo?!

[–]KelpMonger 2 points3 points ago

Huh? What's this link go t- wait, I don't- oh god... this is gonna be a while. I'm gonna find the end. Don't wait up.

[–]splishsplashsplish 4 points5 points ago

Can't ... Stop... Clicking

[–]Inimitable 0 points1 point ago

Current estimate: 132 links.

[–]uneditablepoly 3 points4 points ago

Fuck... I thought this died.

[–]notyourfather 1 point2 points ago

you're almost there! October 2011 is just around the corner

[–]lugnut92 1 point2 points ago

I DID IT! Opera even crashed once because I was leaving every tab open.

[–]iamthehabs 10 points11 points ago

Not everyone is american, so yes, I sometime have trouble.

[–]Treebeezy 6 points7 points ago

And even we can't keep track of every minor celebrity reddit is obsessed with.

[–]brazilliandanny 2 points3 points ago

Spend some time on /r/starcraft.

[–]MayorEmanuel 5 points6 points ago

It's going to either be Niel DeGrass Tyson or Bill Murray. We don't care about anyone else.

[–]anymooseposter 9 points10 points ago

WHAT ABOUT BILL NYE!?!?

[–]Toerak 238 points239 points ago

OMG... I understood that reference

[–]LastEmperor 48 points49 points ago

Oh wow, same here. Wizard of Oz didn't even cross my mind when I heard that line.

[–]Rountree85 20 points21 points ago

Hold on to your lug nuts; it's time for an overhaul.

[–]Dsullivan777 9 points10 points ago

OH STANLEY

[–]Jeof 1 point2 points ago

Have you met Stanley? He's real nice. {pedo voice}

[–]awesomeman23 0 points1 point ago

Cucumbers have wicked souls.

[–]JMUDukes1750 2 points3 points ago

[–]BigDogSmallCar 1 point2 points ago

I forget exactly what the line was but I remember not getting the reference. What was the reference?

[–]stanfan114 0 points1 point ago

When monkeys fly out my butt!

[–]thelandsman55 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking about that, if we wanted to we could make this an infinitely recursive thread.

[–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out -1 points0 points ago

This is captain reference, "I understood that reference!" is his catchphrase.

[–]teh_sheep 45 points46 points ago

That's the opposite of how I feel while watching Family Guy.

[–]jimpagliap 12 points13 points ago

If they made jokes that were relevant to the plot line then we wouldn't need to understand any references.

[–]IAmAllowedOutside 16 points17 points ago

The irrelevance is part of the joke.

[–]AssassinFlonne 7 points8 points ago

It used to be.

[–]Shezam 0 points1 point ago

Deep.

[–]justbecausewhynot 1 point2 points ago

YAY POP CULTURE

[–]caracal12 6 points7 points ago

But it's usually funny anyways so I can't complain.

[–]Jux_ 21 points22 points ago

What's it like living in 2007?

[–]Joshf1234 11 points12 points ago

PRETTY GREAT, EXCEPT FOR G.W. I THINK I'LL GO BUY A HOUSE USING MONEY FROM MY PLACE OF GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT

[–]CheshireC4t -1 points0 points ago

Excuse me, sir, you got sarcasm all down the front of my shirt.

[–]atafies 3 points4 points ago

It's worse for me when watching Archer; I'm not too big of a movie guy guy so all of his references fly over my head.

[–]anymooseposter 4 points5 points ago

What!? Lana...you mean you HAVEN'T seen deliverance!?

[–]Special_Redditor 91 points92 points ago

CAPTAIN COMPREHENSION!

[–]craftymethod 13 points14 points ago

echo echo echo echo echo

[–]efftony 8 points9 points ago

Cool. Now do that with repair man.

[–]thelibrarina 10 points11 points ago

I'm--Repairman man man man man!

[–]pwnies 22 points23 points ago

Is this a reference to something?

[–]TyroneBrownable 66 points67 points ago

I hope I'm not whooshing myself here, but Captain America says this in The Avengers.

[–]Radth 31 points32 points ago

Whoosh

the reference is actually to - naw I'm just fucking with you, you got it.

[–]diemockingbirddie -2 points-1 points ago

Haha, this is so awesome. See, cause now you're the one who didn't get what he was trying to say.

[–]TheFluxIsThis 2 points3 points ago

In reference to Flying Monkeys, in fact.

[–]mynameisimportant 5 points6 points ago

whoosh

[–]EnsignObvious 21 points22 points ago

As others mentioned, Captain America said this in The Avengers. In case you would like further clarification, the flying monkeys (Wizard of Oz) in the OP's pic was the said reference in The Avengers that Captain America got.

[–]zils 2 points3 points ago

Captain America says it in the Avengers, to Nick Fury.

[–]tesla3327 0 points1 point ago

*Thor

[–]fuckingcaptcha 15 points16 points ago

Saw the picture.

Thought it was mildly funny.

Moved on.

Realized it was an Avengers reference to one of the funniest parts of the movie.

Went back.

Upvoted.

[–]Treebeezy 17 points18 points ago

2nd funniest also included the Cap'n:

"And Hulk?"

"Rrgh?"

"Smash!"

[–]Ihatemakinguplogins 23 points24 points ago

I thought the $10 payoff was awesome. I wonder how many people it wooshed...

[–]relativityguru 14 points15 points ago

My friend when i was watching the movie unintentionally omitted the placing of the bet and for the rest of the week was convinced that they put it in as Captain America tipping Fury for being black because Captain is from the 40s and racist.

[–]SickleandHammer 2 points3 points ago

I thought the same thing, it was a different time...

[–]Overglock 0 points1 point ago

[–]Geo 1 point2 points ago

Movie was full of moments like this. Absolutely brilliant.

[–]friendlyhumanist 1 point2 points ago

Apparently I was wooshed... what are you referring to?

[–]Doughnutcake 6 points7 points ago

Captain says that after what he's seen of today's world, nothing would surprise him. Fury responds with something like "10 dollars says otherwise." Aircraft carrier takes off; Cap'n hands Fury $10.

[–]DustyGreen64 6 points7 points ago

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I totally thought it was Cap being racist but that doesn't make sense now cause they've talked before. Woah! Nice thanks!

[–]ycpa68 5 points6 points ago

While both of these were funny, how can we forget "Puny God"? In my opinion that was the funniest part of the movie, but that's just me.

[–]Saeka 6 points7 points ago

You have just ruined not only the Avengers, but all that is good and holy.

[–]konydanza 14 points15 points ago

[–]I_GET_YOUR_REFERENCE 41 points42 points ago

I LOVE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS

[–]trimeta 10 points11 points ago

I really hope this becomes the new image macro for that expression.

[–]kiwifuel 6 points7 points ago

[–]itsbraille 6 points7 points ago

I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE THEATER AND GOT THIS REFERENCE!

[–]doatdays 4 points5 points ago

Me too!!

[–]BCas 7 points8 points ago

Best scene in that movie. Hands down.

I literally burst out laughing.

[–]Zasslesmiitens 3 points4 points ago

I laughed so hard I teared up XD that line just got to me :D

[–]BCas 8 points9 points ago

The fact that Captain America was so clueless was so perfect.

[–]watership 1 point2 points ago

He's actually my favourite character in the movie.

[–]BCas 2 points3 points ago

Mine as well! I like Chris Evans a lot and he plays the Cap so magnificently!

Also, the Cap is willing to duke it out with Thor...with just his shield. That was so badass that only when Thor started fist-fighting the Hulk was I more impressed.

[–]GeneralBacon[S] 28 points29 points ago

I'd like to thank all of you for helping me get to the front page for the first time! :D

[–]craftymethod 8 points9 points ago

All those orange envelopes. Are you drowning in them?

[–]GeneralBacon[S] 20 points21 points ago

It's like Scrooge McDuck diving into his money.

[–]hkaps 3 points4 points ago

[–]popwhatpopwhat 3 points4 points ago

I understand that reference!

[–]rockmongoose 3 points4 points ago

Did you draw this? It's Awesome!

[–]GeneralBacon[S] 5 points6 points ago

My friend helped me with the Monkeys and the face of Captain America (not my strong points), but the rest was me.

[–]sheldonjp 8 points9 points ago

I imagine some guy with his arms around you guiding your hand as you draw monkeys.

[–]treebright 2 points3 points ago

That's an awfully brief acceptance speech. Do you have anyone else to thank?

[–]GeneralBacon[S] 3 points4 points ago

Thanks to my friend, my computer and my (nonexistant) girlfriend. Goodnight and I just lost the game!

[–]CaptAngua 0 points1 point ago

You glorious bastard.

[–]diemockingbirddie 0 points1 point ago

Did you draw this Captain Man? Where are the rest of your drawings?

[–]qatmandue 0 points1 point ago

Just came here to say "great username."

[–]Phil_Bond 23 points24 points ago

And I understood THIS reference!!!

[–]fargosucks 6 points7 points ago

I read that in Dr. Kreiger's voice, for some reason.

Thank you.

[–]icalledshotgun 9 points10 points ago

I'm sorry, are you addressing me? because your authority is not recognized in Fort Kickass

[–]fargosucks 1 point2 points ago

And remember, SMILEYFACE!

[–]popwhatpopwhat 1 point2 points ago

These Pretzels are making me thirsty!

[–]Arrogant-Basterd 2 points3 points ago

I understood that reference!

[–]insomnipresent 4 points5 points ago

This is why I love hanging out with my best friend - every reference I make, she gets it, and yells "GOOD REFERENCE!" It makes me feel awesome and super in-the-know (even though I'm not).

[–]CrazyMansCola 3 points4 points ago

A reference referencing a movie where a character understands a reference. Holy sweet baby Jebus...

[–]fuckingcaptcha 15 points16 points ago

My god that is a terrible gif.

[–]tesla3327 4 points5 points ago

I Know, It's my first GIF so I don't know a good program to use. The one I use cut off the last second, and compressed the crap out of it.

[–]fuckingcaptcha 2 points3 points ago

Don't worry about it. It's just so low-res and filmed in-theater...you know. Poor quality. For a first gif though and with that source material it's pretty good.

[–]tesla3327 2 points3 points ago

Also here is the video if you feel you can do better

I see what you did there...

[–]virtigo21125 2 points3 points ago

What was this from again?

[–]Notcoolman374 2 points3 points ago

I completely understand. :/

[–]lisabadcat 1 point2 points ago

What's this from?

[–]tesla3327 1 point2 points ago

The Avengers

[–]SOADA -1 points0 points ago

I guess we can say, you understood that reference.

[–]tesla3327 0 points1 point ago

[–]lovinthebeatles 1 point2 points ago

I was the only one that laughed in my theater.

[–]UmmStef 1 point2 points ago

Yay I just got home from that I get it!

[–]Fuligan_Cloak 1 point2 points ago

"When he's not that beast he's just Like Stephen Hawking." /awkward pause/ "Uh, a really smart guy."

[–]FadelessGhost 1 point2 points ago

That awesome moment when your name is GeneralBacon.

[–]Fuligan_Cloak 1 point2 points ago

"Does mother knoweth you weareth her drapes?"

[–]Sayinos 1 point2 points ago

I hope this picture is not a reference... cause if it is I don't get it.

[–]munimula 1 point2 points ago

I just saw that movie yesterday, so now I get this reference! Yay!

[–]paco_is_paco 1 point2 points ago

And I got this reference! I finally saw the Avengers today.

[–]spetholas 1 point2 points ago

upvote cause I only just saw it tonight

[–]Jepperd 2 points3 points ago

I don't get it.

[–]Turel 1 point2 points ago

I almost got this reference, but I was too busy wrestling with my sister.

[–]Senor_Asshole 3 points4 points ago

well at least you didn't eat a bad cucumber

[–]kenneth1221 -3 points-2 points ago

Or bite upon a Jolly Rancher.

[–]SuperShake66652 -1 points0 points ago

Or try to burn a cum box.

[–]Captain_d00m -1 points0 points ago

No cum box for Jakucha...

[–]Major_Tom42 0 points1 point ago

Dude I can't believe I remember that.

That was like one day in July last year, right?

Damn man. Memories.

Not for season 4.

[–]kenneth1221 0 points1 point ago

[–]craftymethod 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if image is a human or monkey.

[–]TheFluxIsThis 0 points1 point ago

This moment in the movie caused the single best delayed laugh I've ever heard in a theatre when I went to see the Avengers.

Sadly, this is why many reddit posts get upvoted so heavily.

"Holy shit! I saw that other reddit post too, am I cool now? upvote"
