Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

This isn't even that shitty, you've gotten better

Wow. That is fantastic. Those crisp lines..

Did you use a marker..?

This is a nice painting, that means your a BIG FAT PHONY !!

Hey everybody! This guy's a phony!!

David Hockey is more outside the lines and inaccurate then you.

Shitty watercolour for a Royal academy of Arts Exhibition!

[–]saggysocks 16 points17 points ago

Not saying you necessarily stole this post, but the exact same image was posted to r/pokemon an hour before you posted it.

Link to other post: http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/vz45b/nigelkarp/

[–]TehJonno 7 points8 points ago

And an hour before that on /r/NigelThornberry EDIT: With the exact same URL.

[–]CYRlX -5 points-4 points ago

I mean...how is it stealing? Hell the top comment in the one you linked to claims that guy stole it.

It's not like he said "hey look what I made, I swear to god I made this and it's never been posted before"

[–]CYRlX 0 points1 point ago

So no explanation as to how this is stealing, because none of you can explain it. You're all just so obsessed with Karma that the idea of someone else getting it and not you pisses you off.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 250 points251 points ago

[–]iUptokeEverything 168 points169 points ago

You ruined his plan of posting each individual one for karma.

[–]slightly_inaccurate 58 points59 points ago

Like re-posting ever stopped anyone from gaining karma.

[–]fuckYouKarmaWhores 5 points6 points ago

I feel like I should say something about them

[–]vwllss 21 points22 points ago

It's not even the same magikarp. Why does everything have to be someone at fault?

[–]Artahn 19 points20 points ago

Because internet.

[–]brumbrum21[S] 5 points6 points ago

thank you

[–]fnkey 8 points9 points ago

Only Se7en_Sinner is allowed to post reposts.

[–]Humble_harpdarp 2 points3 points ago

He only posted this because he's mad someone beat him to it.

[–]alexgeek 1 point2 points ago

Charmander is Quagmire though for some raisin.

[–]_Kata_ 0 points1 point ago

Hahaha, like that would stop anyone from reposting them individually.

I have no idea about Wartortle

Weedle is SpongeBob

Venonat is Bender

Slowpoke is Peter Griffin

Krabby is obviously Zoidberg

Jynx is Shoop da Whoop

Dragonite is Optimus Prime

[–]VelocityRD 22 points23 points ago

Wartortle is the LOL WUT pear.

[–]FarmerMayhem 9 points10 points ago

Spearow is Professor Farnsworth.

Jigglypuff looks like it's Degrasse-Tyson.

You missed out Homer Simpson Wigglytuff.

*edit: and Kingler appears to be "Hey Arnold".

*second edit: Nidoking is Hank "Propane" Hill. Gaben made me laugh, though.

[–]vwllss 9 points10 points ago

You both missed the incredibly obvious Goldeen as DOVAHKIIN

[–]demerztox94 0 points1 point ago

Aww sweet, thanks for pointing that out.

[–]bobsmith93 6 points7 points ago

  • Jigglypuff is Neil deGrasse Tyson

[–]DeadlyWolf844 2 points3 points ago

[–]Menospan 2 points3 points ago

Call me crazy but Jigglypuff looks like Neil deGrasse Tyson

[–]equalizing 0 points1 point ago

Nidoking is Hank Hill

[–]OBrien 0 points1 point ago

Pretty sure Zapdos is Dr. Robotnic.

It might be intended to be another Nigel, but it sure as fuck looks like Eggman.

[–]wetsocksmcgee 2 points3 points ago

They're different I say! Care to compare (them to one another)?!

[–]WellFutile 0 points1 point ago

agreed

[–]plainsnailing 7 points8 points ago

I spotted Quagmire in there, as well as Zoidberg. Good job

[–]CancerousJedi 1 point2 points ago

Homer Simpson, poker face, Degrasse-Tyson faces are also in there. Oh, I just read down one more comment, they're all there.

[–]DeadlyWolf844 1 point2 points ago

Who is sandslash suppose to be?

[–]jimii 6 points7 points ago

Now that's dedication. If only the kid would channel it towards something that isn't completely fucking pointlessly retarded...

[–]Roboticide 26 points27 points ago

That could be said for the larger part of Reddit, but we're all here.

People have free time, and it's there's do what they wish.

[–]Rofldile 11 points12 points ago

Who regulates what is meaningful and pointless anyway? It's subjective. Additionally, as John Lennon stated, "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted".

[–]Blizzaldo 7 points8 points ago

Says the person commenting on a Reddit thread.

[–]YoshiWrangler 1 point2 points ago

Like channeling it towards getting on Reddit pages and reading comments and posting an insulting comment about someone else's post, right?

[–]divinesleeper -2 points-1 points ago

I like how he tries to justify his waste of time at the bottom.

[–]publ1c_stat1c 0 points1 point ago

Mew kind of looks like the reddit alien.

[–]WONDERFULLY_CLUELESS -1 points0 points ago

Anyone else notice that Dragonite's head was a transformer?

[–]atafies 5 points6 points ago

That gif is always appropriate.

[–]Volkamar 33 points34 points ago

TIL about r/NigelThornberry.

[–]Bentstraw 8 points9 points ago

I know. Repost stuff from small subreddits and get TONS of karma...

[–]CYRlX 1 point2 points ago

Honestly, if people didn't do that, I wouldn't see a lot of things. I don't want to sub to a mile long list of subreddits to see everything.

[–]TheTalkingCamelAnus 5 points6 points ago

Here, have an UpBlargh

[–]highwindscloud -3 points-2 points ago

Magikarp uses splash attack on dead horse!

[–]allouttaupvotes 13 points14 points ago

Am I the only one who actually likes this meme...?

[–]flounder19 8 points9 points ago

[–]divinesleeper 4 points5 points ago

"Boy, that escalated quickly."

[–]Shardwing 3 points4 points ago

[–]Ryuuken1127 -3 points-2 points ago

I'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but this might be worse than r/stopgirl

[–]NotaMethAddict -3 points-2 points ago

Wait until you've been around here longer and you've seen it a million times.

[–]cyxy 4 points5 points ago

I'm tolerant of most memes, but the Nigel Thornberry meme has never been amusing to me.

[–]Flamefury 5 points6 points ago

The only time it worked for me was when it was an animated gif with fluid but unexpected transition into the face.

Static images never did it.

[–]pearlbones 0 points1 point ago

I think a dead horse might be the only thing Magikarp can beat.

[–]JewBoySandler -1 points0 points ago

It's been beaten!

[–]MrKenta -2 points-1 points ago

MAGIKARP uses Splash attack on enemy RAPIDASH!

[–]dchubbs 4 points5 points ago

What's the point of splashing??

[–]VerbalRadiation 1 point2 points ago

I just started playing Pokemon...

is there srsly anything splash is good for?

[–]Rowannn 1 point2 points ago

If you use it, then next turn switch to your starter, it turns into a giant mega death ray of deathness. Itude.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Jumping over mountains.

[–]VerbalRadiation 0 points1 point ago

Ahhh ok thanks!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Haha, Man, I'm kidding.

In the pokedex entry in pearl/diamond, it says "After hers and years, a magikarp's Splash is powerful enough to jump over mountains. It still remains useless though"

Just get the fucker to level 20 and enjoy.

[–]VerbalRadiation 1 point2 points ago

Also, he reposted it from /r/Pokemon

Edit: and /r/Pokemon took it from /r/nigelthornberry

[–]CuffsMcgraw 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I was the one to post it on /r/nigelthornberry :(

[–]TehJonno 0 points1 point ago

You deserve more internet points!

[–]wetsocksmcgee 4 points5 points ago

Damn! It's everywhere!

[–]RacistGibberish 2 points3 points ago

This isn't really related but I really hate the Pokemon Jynx

[–]benjimoe 6 points7 points ago

Splash isn't super effective on anything though.

[–]Peanuts4MePlz 30 points31 points ago

Have you ever had a Magikarp vs Magikarp battle..?

It's quite tense.

[–]FirmerFilly 8 points9 points ago

The world will never be the same after the....splashing that occurred.

[–]FirmerFilly 4 points5 points ago

Who knows, 9gag will probably pick it up

[–]shinnen 4 points5 points ago

Yes. It's a real struggle.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I see what you did there

[–]Justicles13 2 points3 points ago

It's not intense until they start using Struggle.

[–]HiddenUnicorn 10 points11 points ago

Incorrect. Have you every seen it at work on a group of girls in white t-shirts?

[–]Droksid 1 point2 points ago

Oh, you got there first. Great minds and all that.

[–]mttwldngr 1 point2 points ago

No.

[–]SuperHorribleGaming 1 point2 points ago

[–]Mecha_Derp 1 point2 points ago

Way to take the post from r/Pokemon an hour after it was posted.

[–]ravikarna27 1 point2 points ago

WTF this was an hour old before you reposted it.

[–]Ryuuken1127 1 point2 points ago

Forgive me, but when did this become a thing? (posting Nigel's face on everything)

[–]CarolineJohnson 0 points1 point ago

When everyone realized how funny Nigel Thornberry is.

[–]cats_in_hats 1 point2 points ago

HOW THE FUCK HAS THIS GOT MORE UPVOTES THAN THE ONE POSTED 3 HOURS AGO?! YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID! THIS IS A REPOST!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

You seen mad, bro.

[–]brumbrum21[S] -1 points0 points ago

yea he mad

[–]minecrafter26000 -2 points-1 points ago

Well think about it. The image was reposted 1 HOUR after original posting or "long-time repost" This shit is just getting ridiculous. and the 1 hour repost gets MORE upvotes. Seriously fucking stupid.

[–]Das_Weinmachine 1 point2 points ago

Simple economics would state that being the original poster need not make it the most popular. If someone reposts at a more convenient time for say, people 18-28 who are at this point bored of working at on reddit, the repost is going to have more upvotes and go higher on the home page, creating a snowball effect.

Also, "Ad Hominem" argumentation style is when you attack the opposing person and not the argument itself; if you want people to even consider what you said at all, don't call your readers "fucking stupid".

[–]minecrafter26000 0 points1 point ago

Okay. Thank you for the intellectual reply and for explaining to me why it was more popular, however I must inform you that I was not calling the readers "fucking stupid" I was describing the fact that a repost got more upvotes than the original. But I wasn't thinking at the time. Thank you again for your explanation.

[–]MaroonMandible 0 points1 point ago

Scumbag OP: Copies post from /r/pokemon, posts it on a more popular subreddit for more karma without giving credit.

[–]Khad 2 points3 points ago

Someone copied it to /r/funny too. It is all over my front page.

[–]OBrien 0 points1 point ago

/r/pokemon had it posted like an hour after /r/nigelthornberry

[–]MaroonMandible 0 points1 point ago

either way, it was taken from somewhere else to get a crapload of karma
