Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Ellen Degeneres, Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, Spock, Chris Kattan

[–]1940classic 13 points14 points ago

Chris Kattan was my childhood crush. The terrible things I wanted to do to him. Like kiss at the playground....

[–]pearcewg 1 point2 points ago

James, is that you?

[–]starbucksnut -1 points0 points ago

That's the funniest thing I have read all week!

[–]TheBrainofBrian 44 points45 points ago

As a 26 year old guy, I just want you to know this is what I was talking about when I kept asking girls what was so appealing about them.

[–]voidsong 2 points3 points ago

And please try applying the same idea when they look at people like justin beieber or whoever the kids like these days.

[–]AliceFishyWishy 26 points27 points ago

Whenever I watch their (or the Backstreet Boys) videos I imagine the wardrobe assistants going, "No, no that shirt has to be at least two sizes bigger than his actual size!"

[–]ZommoZ 47 points48 points ago

So looking back, how obvious was it that Lance Bass was gay?

[–]Lt_Sherpa 111 points112 points ago

I'm guessing all five of them are named Lance Bass?

[–]JafffaCake 5 points6 points ago

I just spit everywhere I laughed so hard.

[–]Urban_Savage 0 points1 point ago

I don't believe you.

[–]Coridimus 1 point2 points ago

This is a healthy thing to do.

[–]Coridimus 0 points1 point ago

I was just thinking this. I recall so many girls ogling over his "dreamy eyes!". lol I find it endlessly amusing!

[–]Direnaar 0 points1 point ago

His name is LANCE. But I think we all got it way after 18.

[–]Zebra_herder 0 points1 point ago

When I was 11 my best friend's favorite member was Lance Bass. We fought for years over whether he was gay or not. In high school it eventually faded from memory. Guess who's right now, bitch?!

[–]piero1255 10 points11 points ago

That dude on the far left looks like he's grabbing onto his wiener

[–]JoeyBlaze 19 points20 points ago

He prob wishes he was grabbing Timberlake's wiener.

[–]Kmfb 6 points7 points ago

This pic is just tearing up my heart.

[–]shippfaced 19 points20 points ago

These are much better: http://www.marcellachamorro.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/nsync-1.jpg http://stillnsync.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/seliger_bbb_2000_011.jpg

[–]tobiasfunk3 4 points5 points ago

I like J.C.'s landing strip.

[–]gberger 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, Jesus Christ is pretty stylish.

[–]EONS 0 points1 point ago

That's years after their peak.

[–]shippfaced 0 points1 point ago

I think these are from around the time of their 2nd album which would be when they were wildly popular.

[–]moleware 4 points5 points ago

WOW. The whole time...we actually were right...

[–]gmoney1393 8 points9 points ago

One of them was successful after the band... one announces for family feud. The others disappeared of the face of planet earth

[–]heavypettingzoos 9 points10 points ago

I don't see Steve Harvey or al Borland in there...

[–]JafffaCake 4 points5 points ago

Poor Richard Karn, he will never be anyone but Al Borland.

[–]RunUpToHortons 6 points7 points ago

Being the same age as OP and owning the same poster, I'm glad they stopped making music.

[–]ickylickkiss 8 points9 points ago

Justin is still pretty amazing.

[–]CheetoX23 3 points4 points ago

The dude on the top right looks so much like Dylan Klebold here...

[–]spartag00se 12 points13 points ago

You know Dylan Klebold by name but not Joey Fatone? Your 90s trivia knowledge is inconsistent!

[–]CheetoX23 1 point2 points ago

Dammit, you got me. I tried to steer as clear from those guys as I could.

[–]therealdohr 3 points4 points ago

Lance Bass looks like the guy from 30 rock

[–]Myamaranth 4 points5 points ago

KENNETH the immortal

[–]But_No_Irish 2 points3 points ago

I'm glad your judgement has improved.

[–]Stingerc 2 points3 points ago

I remember my friends saw them perform at a big club on South Padre Island during Spring Break on 1996 or 97. Apparently they got booed off the stage, and they were opening for a Blues Brother cover band. I just remember my buddies telling me it was some cheesy version of the Backstreet Boys.

[–]UsernameCensored 1 point2 points ago

Who are those doofii?

[–]Coridimus 2 points3 points ago

Thank you for using the proper plural. :)

[–]ThisGuyOnEarth 1 point2 points ago

It's the cheerleader effect, you can merely see them all standing still here.

[–]pokeylope 1 point2 points ago

I remember writing a letter to the Tarzan Dan Hit List (on YTV, Canada) about how N Sync were a bunch of posers and would never top the Backstreet Boys.

Ahhh, to be a 13 year old girl again.

[–]nicque 1 point2 points ago

I feel weird.

[–]ACE_C0ND0R 1 point2 points ago

That's because you liked what you were told to like at that time.

[–]Niman 1 point2 points ago

As a 25 year old man, I remember telling each and everyone of you: "No, they are not!"

[–]zombehbrainz 1 point2 points ago

How is it that no one knew that Lance Bass was gay? Holy hell.

[–]Lower_Expectations 1 point2 points ago

Lance looks like a little girl... And WTF JC?!

[–]goodytwotoes 0 points1 point ago

Wow. Ruined my teenage everything. I memorized their dances.

[–]UltimateTool 0 points1 point ago

I found them to be sexy when I was a 26-year-old woman, too.

[–]DeFeet 0 points1 point ago

Spock? How did you get in there?

[–]catsconcert 0 points1 point ago

They say that memory is the first to go.

[–]1zzy_5tardust 0 points1 point ago

I think it was the 90s goggles we were wearing...

[–]sike_drummer 0 points1 point ago

My girlfriend is 26. Here's what happens when she plays the music she liked when she was a kid.

N sync comes on

Her: "Yay nsync!" Me: shakes head...facepalm

Tbf though, much the same happens when I play the music from my yoof....ah... the folly of ruth.

[–]RatedK 0 points1 point ago

OK, I give up....where are the supposed "guys" in this picture?

[–]Jonasaa15 0 points1 point ago

Shirts are essential i guess..

[–]r00tbeer 0 points1 point ago

This is why I don't revisit childhood pop culture. Horrible, embarassing crushes...

Except for Devon Sawa.

[–]Encratis 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one asking myself how I didn't pick up on Lance Bass?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

As a man... I never found them sexy.

[–]lannaweeds 0 points1 point ago

Ughhh... the 90's hair.....

Edit: and the 90's shirts... kill it with fire.

[–]orkid68 0 points1 point ago

[–]EtherCJ 8 points9 points ago

While this is normally annoying as hell. At least this one is sorta funny.

[–]AnthillNapalm 4 points5 points ago

I like the part where Lance is female.

[–]hazleapricot 1 point2 points ago

That's why I was a fan of these guys.

[–]underdoglady 10 points11 points ago

Based solely on that picture, I bet I could score meth off of at least 3 of them.

[–]hazleapricot 2 points3 points ago

I chuckled. I really liked Brian though. Very sad when I found out he's married.

[–]lannaweeds 1 point2 points ago

Back Alley Boys

[–]thepulloutmethod 1 point2 points ago

I always thought the one on the far right was a giant bag of douche.

[–]TomPalmer1979 3 points4 points ago

I always thought the five on the right were giant bags of douche.

[–]ContactSc 0 points1 point ago

I have no idea who those people are but they look really angry.

[–]Space_Masters 1 point2 points ago

That's because they're from the backstreets.

[–]nexxus-s 0 points1 point ago

You spelled gals wrong.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]r00tbeer 0 points1 point ago

Well now you have no upvotes, that's just as bad.

[–]fuzzycuffs -2 points-1 points ago

Don't some Europeans still dress like this?

[–]smufmcfudel -3 points-2 points ago

"As a 26-year-old woman, I remember these guys being far sexier..."

You spelled successful wrong, which leads to the rest of false assumptions.
