I like you.

[–]OleicAcid 12 points13 points ago

I appreciate this. The ability to quantify my reasoning for being angry at reposts is invaluable.

[–]Robtom_5 3 points4 points ago

Agreed, but if the repost was 6 or 7 months prior then there is no harm visting a golden oldie. Its just when you have 3 of the same link on the front page it sucks

[–]jazloc 14 points15 points ago

Why do you people care so much about resposts? Not everyone sits on Reddit all day and has seen every single image ever.

[–]DidntActuallyLaugh 73 points74 points ago

Woah, man. Be careful that you don't hurt the bot's feelings.

[–]edgarallenbro 14 points15 points ago

/r/funny is FAST gratification. Most people that I know that read mainly /r/funny are the kind of people that just look through all the pictures as FAST as they can. Like they just sit on the cheezburger network and scroll through all the pages as fast as they can to see everything and chuckle at it. The content cannot be created as quickly as there is demand for new content, and so reposts are inevitable.

Since it doesn't take as long to laugh at a funny picture in this subreddit as it does to read and respond to an article in another subreddit, to the average sophisticated, the complaints about reposts seem frivolous. However, to people who scroll through countless images each day, unexpected reposts are a major annoyance in comparison. Very similar to the distaste towards [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG_VgqmfayA](reruns) that many older generations are much more familiar with.

[–]Riddla26 4 points5 points ago

Still doesn't explain why actual new funny OC gets downvoted to oblivion in /r/funny before it even gets past the /new queue though.

My theory - subbers in /r/funny WANT reposts. They want stuff they've already seen and know is funny or amusing, they're scared of change and OC makes them feel outside their comfort zone.

At least, that's how I justify my downvotes.

I'M FUNNY DAMNIT.

[–]poon-is-food 2 points3 points ago

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar, I will be linking to this comment in future repost arguements.

[–]Doxep 4 points5 points ago

I don't usually care, but some stuff gets reposted every week...

[–]Inquisitor1 1 point2 points ago

Becuase it's a news site. Even if the news is a funny picture, it's new only once, after that you only want to see it in the archives. Imagine if the tv news started reporting on the Iraq war again. Just repeating what they reported in the past, but now. Some people would see it for the first time, but it's still ridiculous. And because of the clutter it brings.

[–]Zorblax 0 points1 point ago

I thought reddit was more of a community, where /funny was something you browsed if you wanted to see something.. funny to have a laugh at. For mostly all subreddits I find it a lot more interesting to see what the community is talking about at the moment, and perhaps requesting something it is hard to find on google (because you don't know the name or what to google for), than cutting edge unprocessed matter. Most subreddits take kindly to requests falling inside their domain of expertise. Of course the pressure on content being news is high I can imagine on /news and similar subs, but I do not see why it should apply to all the other reddits which are also consumed for other purposes than being informed of the latest happenings (such as those you haven't seen yet but are old, or old ones you've almost forgotten and get somewhat amused when seeing again)

But perhaps I should begin browsing /funny for the sake of seeing OC news that has never before been on the internet instead of the laughs?

[–]Inquisitor1 1 point2 points ago

NO REDDIT IS NOT A COMMUNITY THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL IF YOU'RE IN IT! Get over it. It's just a website. Anyone can join. It's a place to read it, read submitted stuff, it's the frontpage of the internet, not the facebook stream of the internet.

[–]notcaffeinefree 3 points4 points ago

I completely agree. I'm not sure if I've ever seen the links that this stupid bot posts.

[–]voidsong 0 points1 point ago

I know, everything is a repost. Imagine if we withheld everything that had been done before from all the repost whinners?

Sex? Been done before you were born, repost. Buy a car? How original, nope you get to walk. Medicine? Lol, no.

Societal progress is built on fucking reposts. People only get pissed when they've seen it before, nevermind all the awesome shit that got handed to them that was effectively a repost to the rest of the world.

I guess people need something to get all oldfag/newfag elitist about though right?

[–]c_a_turner 7 points8 points ago

Could be people don't do things "for the karma" since that doesn't matter, but sometimes people find things they think Reddit might like and post them. Then, other people who hadn't seen it upvote, when more people upvote than downvote it appears on the frontpage. So maybe get off your high horse, hit the downvote button, and move on instead of being "disgusted and pissed off" cause other people find something funny that you saw on the internet first.

I like how you'd rather people just downvote than discuss.

[–]HolographicMetapod -1 points0 points ago

Nah, I wouldn't I was quoting the guy above me. Hence the quotes.

[–]hdl1234565 3 points4 points ago

you are taking reddit way too seriously.

you're disgusted by a fucking website man. on the fucking computer! get a grip.

[–]Galifreyan2012 8 points9 points ago

Why is it called a Jeffrey?

[–]BiggerBenFranklin 7 points8 points ago

No one's afraid of a bloke named Geoffrey!

[–]Liammm 18 points19 points ago

But everybody hates a bloke named Joffrey.

Best part of this movie!

[–]AlSpeer 1 point2 points ago

Which movie?

[–]cygnae 8 points9 points ago

Get him to the Greek.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall beforehand as it is a spinoff. Not a direct sequel, but just for continuity's sake.

[–]Kilgannon_TheCrowing 6 points7 points ago

Also, watch FSM simply because its way better, and is standalone fucking hilarious. I actually went out of my way to buy it - its that good. GHttG in comparison really isn't that funny. Kind of boring with some humor interjected here and there.

[–]Snoyarc 0 points1 point ago

GHttG in comparison really isn't that funny

Watch this and say that again.

[–]RaiseYourGlass -2 points-1 points ago

Which was, all in all, not that great

[–]Kilgannon_TheCrowing -1 points0 points ago

Is your username a Protest the Hero reference?

[–]RaiseYourGlass 2 points3 points ago

No, unfortunately not, it is merely a testament to my alcoholism.

Stroke the furry wall.

[–]furrywalls 6 points7 points ago

Thank you.

[–]SmartAssX 5 points6 points ago

Do people actually do Jeffereys?

[–]Leadpumper 5 points6 points ago

It's because they don't sound threatening

[–]BlackZeppelin 3 points4 points ago

I got really drunk on a party bus once. I had to pee really often because a ton of Jack and Coke will do that to a guy. Anyway the bathroom had a furry wall and rubbing my hamds amd face on it felt like an orgasm.

/coolstorybro

[–]Leo-D 7 points8 points ago

Just imagine all the people who've dried their hands on that wall after taking a drunken piss on their hands and thought the same thing.

[–]BlackZeppelin 1 point2 points ago

Worth it.

[–]sSamoo 1 point2 points ago

Why can't everything be this simple?!

[–]HeatSlinger 0 points1 point ago

[–]saladtossing -5 points-4 points ago

After a few more downvotes i won;t have to see how many i've given you! Soooooo close!

[–]TodTheTyrant 4 points5 points ago

[–]pidgeonwat[S] 6 points7 points ago

I've never reposted before.. but I just got a metric shit ton of karma from this and I feel bad about it. Won't happen again.. Just trying something new.

[–]torah_sam 6 points7 points ago

You trying coke?

[–]pidgeonwat[S] 3 points4 points ago

Probably not. You never know, though.

[–]torah_sam 9 points10 points ago

Way better than Pepsi bro. Liked Pepsi when I was younger, don't trust that shit now all about that fizzy coke.

[–]jbredditor 1 point2 points ago

You gotta spend all your karma on something, right?

[–]Leery 0 points1 point ago

Best joke in the whole movie... Or, at least, the only one I bothered to retain.

As a white person I just noticed black people have a good sense of humour. Us white people are sometimes easily offended....just saying

[–]VulpesVel0x 7 points8 points ago

Don't stereotype us blacks!

[–]statusone 0 points1 point ago

Ok you're right. Black people are just as easily offended as white people, and asian people, and every other race. I think this type of equality works.

[–]WeWereInfinite 4 points5 points ago

I'm white and I'm offended by that generalisation!
