Planking is actually still a thing?

I don't think I've ever seen someone planking either.

[–]pungkow 30 points31 points ago

Planking is out. It's all about Faith Hilling now.

[–]youfuckstookallnames 19 points20 points ago

Yeah, but tomorrow it'll be all about Taylor Swifting.

[–]NotaMethAddict 15 points16 points ago

OHHHH LONG JOHNSON!

[–]islesrule224 -1 points0 points ago

[–]TheFluxIsThis 1 point2 points ago

It isn't. OP just saw this picture and figured that even though it hasn't been a thing for several years, it must be that NOBODY has seen it before.

[–]Kelsomatic 1 point2 points ago

At my school it just became a thing. One day on the morning news they did a stupid little segment about planking, that had clips of numerous people "planking". I put quotations around it because they were just laying on top of two desks or things like that, which takes no fucking skill. Now people in my school randomly "plank" in similar ways. It's like facepalm city.

[–]Psirocking 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, planking was cool when it was creative/dangerous. Then it just became "look at me, I'm in a photo-but lying down on the floor!"

[–]VadersGonnaVade -2 points-1 points ago

My friends and like to plank on the top of things we climb when bouldering/rock climbing, but it's just us joking around really.

[–]ericcoolkid 22 points23 points ago

5 second films are really great

[–]suddenly_ponies 35 points36 points ago

[–]Todomanna 7 points8 points ago

Not any more.

[–]jimx117 3 points4 points ago

Must've been flexing his toes.

[–]AsskickMcGee 8 points9 points ago

This is precisely the sort of thing that The Oatmeal rightfully chewed out funnyjunk.com for.

[–]aManPerson 6 points7 points ago

i dont know why they gif'd it. doubt it even saved 1 second

[–]wlfbck 3 points4 points ago

also repost from a week ago.

[–]Kreetch 10 points11 points ago

And thousands of times before that

[–]PLECK 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I usually roll my eyes when people complain about videos posted as gifs, but I have to say, the comedic timing really is pretty ruined here.

[–]Mad_Physicist 0 points1 point ago

Dude, what about that sick caption?

[–]MabyLater 0 points1 point ago

Well that was 4 hours on that site...again...

[–]thenameschris 0 points1 point ago

YES! I came here to say this. Why the hell would someone post a Gif of this when the video is only 5 seconds?!

[–]fawker 9 points10 points ago

because karma

you get much more upvotes for images

are you new here?

[–]thenameschris 2 points3 points ago

Yes true, Images do get you more karma. And no not new here, just didn't think.

[–]RedAtTrain 1 point2 points ago

because i reddit at work, and youtube be blocked. train=training, if you were wondering.

[–]thenameschris 1 point2 points ago

That's a good point. I never thought of YouTube being blocked.

[–]taint_odour 34 points35 points ago

Is it 2010 again?

[–]Erynsen -2 points-1 points ago

oooolong johnnnnnsseeennnnn

[–]Thricey 54 points55 points ago

How is this getting upvotes?

[–]etskinner 0 points1 point ago

[–]iHaveAglove 15 points16 points ago

Because people have clicked the button giving it upvotes more than the people clicking the downvote button.

[–]Thricey 10 points11 points ago

You must go on /r/explainlikeimfive/ That was well explained.

[–]dunchen22 19 points20 points ago

I think what's really funny about this is it's from a 5SecondFilm, but our attention spans are so short we have to shorten that to a 3 second gif.

[–]CanadianMutton 16 points17 points ago

To be fair, when you factor in the intro and outro, 5 second films are like 9 seconds long. Who has that kind of time?

[–]jillyboooty 1 point2 points ago

with intro n outro, 5sf are 9 secs. lame.

Made your comment more efficient.

[–]pungkow 12 points13 points ago

[–]bunglejerry 14 points15 points ago

How often do you see someone planking in person? I never have, even once.

[–]Illadelphian 6 points7 points ago

I never even heard of this until the internet told me it was a thing. I don't believe it's real.

[–]BearSauce 5 points6 points ago

Terry Bellefleur?

[–]duncan12457 2 points3 points ago

here's the original I subbed to these guys a while back

[–]Windowsfanboy 5 points6 points ago

Am I the only one who doesn't give a fuck about what other people do? I don't kick people in the dick for planking, or for any reason, actually.

[–]shaloham 3 points4 points ago

So Trapped_in_Reddit is finally busted, and with his method revealed, people are actually thinking "wowow, what a great idea!"

This place is going to turn into YouTube with all the copy+pasted top comments if this shit doesn't end soon.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I hope that's not true. If this is the catalyst for Reddit turning into another giant pile of burning shit on the internet, I will be disappointed.

[–]Derpson45 1 point2 points ago

[–]skipdog172 5 points6 points ago

AHHH, planking. I guess I forgot about 'another random thing that reddit pointlessly hates for no reason'.

[–]thesorcererssstoned 6 points7 points ago

[–]landl0rd 1 point2 points ago

When you see someone what?

[–]mtn_dewgamefuel 1 point2 points ago

That fad died about a year ago. Just saiyan.

[–]ADeeZy 1 point2 points ago

where's the credit for 5 second films??

[–]Umpalumpa47 1 point2 points ago

This is literally what that video is of, why is this getting upvoted???

[–]cerealkiller155 1 point2 points ago

The guy looks like a young Adam Savage

[–]AmericaTheHero 1 point2 points ago

Who points with two fingers?

[–]Tebasaki 1 point2 points ago

Pointing with two fingers makes it extra pointy.

[–]Wargall 1 point2 points ago

I, too, hate things that are popular. Upvotes please?

[–]cervesa 1 point2 points ago

As old as the dinosaur.

[–]Jinksywinksy 0 points1 point ago

There was no need to point with two fingers damnit.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I like the double finger point.

[–]Lasallexc 0 points1 point ago

I have never seen someone planking.

[–]terminaljive 0 points1 point ago

I feel the same way when someone uses the term "YOLO".

[–]CarlWheezer 0 points1 point ago

You don't like things that are made popular by the Internet? You must hate reddit.

[–]TheBrohemian 0 points1 point ago

Who is that blonde guy? He looks like Matt Barr.

[–]SBN_Deltrese 0 points1 point ago

NO ONE PLANKS ANYMORE

[–]RzK 0 points1 point ago

When I see someone planking..... oh wait... no one does that anymore

[–]Psythik 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for not reposting that stupid gif from The Office again.

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

Ah, the two fingered point. Twice the shame.

[–]bagzilla 0 points1 point ago

Don't you think you should use your scientific prowess for something other than eradicating planking, person who has obviously found a way to travel back to last year?

[–]jimx117 0 points1 point ago

Funny, I say the same thing when I see someone pointing with two fingers instead of one!

[–]CptOblivion 0 points1 point ago

I really don't understand why people hate planking so much.

[–]C4ndlejack 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I hate it when people do things that have been done to many times before.. like posting .gifs of 5secondfilms. See the irony mate.

[–]metalguitar103 0 points1 point ago

Doing god's work.

[–]FuschiaKnight 0 points1 point ago

Why are you a douchebag? But seriously, who cares? Ignore them.

[–]schniggens 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what you do.

[–]LeszekSwirski 0 points1 point ago

Actually, the tracking of the hand for the "No" is pretty good.

[–]Sidence 0 points1 point ago

I never thought of turning 5sfilms into gifs, because, well, they're only 5 seconds long.

[–]kabukistar 0 points1 point ago

When the fuck do you ever see someone planking, besides on Reddit?

[–]ArsenalOwl 0 points1 point ago

You get irrationally angry and resort to unprovoked violence?

[–]ADertyBatch 0 points1 point ago

YES 5 SECOND FILMS!!!!!!!

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 0 points1 point ago

[–]SemiSeriousSam 0 points1 point ago

Who planks anymore?

[–]SOADA 0 points1 point ago

Do people still plank?

[–]makkawaffel 0 points1 point ago

I went to boot camp in late 2007. I was planking before it was cool.

[–]Grimmbles 0 points1 point ago

TIMELY! Hey how do you react when fools claim the world is round? Or when a raptor tears your loincloth? I bet you regulate on them fools too!

[–]khangy -1 points0 points ago

planking is an effective core workout idiot.

[–]mediatitan -2 points-1 points ago

Why the f do you care what other people do for fun?

[–]Kage-kun -1 points0 points ago

OBJECTION!!

[–]amolad -1 points0 points ago

I also do that when I see someone pointing with two fingers.

[–]Kreetch -1 points0 points ago

I seriously doubt you have ever kicked anyone who is planking...

[–]IvyLeagueBro -1 points0 points ago

Ryan Dunn! You're OK!

[–]rcrnni -2 points-1 points ago

This is the only reason I have seen "planking" in the past year.

[–]TipsTheJust -2 points-1 points ago

Am I the only one that thinks his head looks like it's on backwards when he says "NO!"?

[–]asldkfououhe -2 points-1 points ago

would be a lot funnier without the text

great general rule btw

[–]Disastro -3 points-2 points ago

Ryan Dunn for jack ass look alike
