I love the reaction of the striped shirt woman. She knows what she did.

[–]thalescosta 31 points32 points ago

I don't think she knew at all. I think she just kicked the ball without even noticing the guy running towards it.

[–]haloquent 46 points47 points ago

yes....but i think the guy's saying she realized it was her fault...

[–]Switche 11 points12 points ago

I once saw a water bottle standing up in the middle of the sidewalk when I was younger, walking with a few friends.

Apparently one of the friends had the same idea as I did and we giddily slapped each other away as we raced to kick the bottle. I won, and the bottle went flying half way down the block, and I laughed like a maniac out of breath.

It was then when we noticed there was a guy working on his car next to us, hidden by the fence from our approach, who had stopped his work and just glared at me.

In my shame, I walked slowly down the street, picked up the now filthy, dented, but still sealed water bottle, and walked it back, placing it where it originally stood, and gave the best smile I could.

I'm still glad I kicked it though.

[–]thalescosta 1 point2 points ago

Well, at least you won the race. haha

[–]amc-CR 0 points1 point ago

hahahahaha!!!! you sir, made me laugh!!

[–]Granity 0 points1 point ago

It's always worth it.

[–]ErikaLGBT 3 points4 points ago

HOLY SHIT. Out of ALL the times I've seen this gif (at least 10 by now), I never knew what made the ball move off to the side. I always thought someone else had a string that was attached to the ball, and they pulled it. I never noticed the girl kicking it.

[–]LaxnessKamban 24 points25 points ago

I've seen this gif a thousand times, but every time I spend like five minutes studying every ones expression before and after.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

The geniune-ROFL of the guy in the foreground is brilliant! :)

[–]POSTS_GIFS 49 points50 points ago

Not this horse.

[–]POSTS_GIFS 51 points52 points ago

But these guys are.

[–]3yearoldgenius 27 points28 points ago

Almost perfectly synched. 9/10

[–]MyNameCouldntBeAsLon 3 points4 points ago

you want r/cinemagraphs then

[–]Disagreed 4 points5 points ago

Just so you know, if you add another forward slash in front of the r, reddit will automatically make it a link. /r/cinemagraphs

[–]MyNameCouldntBeAsLon 0 points1 point ago

many thanks!

[–]3yearoldgenius 1 point2 points ago

Those are surprisingly relaxing to watch.

[–]CTRL_ALT_RAPE 0 points1 point ago

WTF? don't they get tired?

[–]QuillRat 4 points5 points ago

Andy Carroll's going to sue you.

[–]crackshot91 2 points3 points ago

Holy fucking shit that is goddamned adorable.

I hope it's okay, though. Landing on the back leg like that can't be good. :(

[–]0rangeNinja 32 points33 points ago

Video.

Took me a while.. x.x

[–]CONGART 2 points3 points ago

I wonder what program it was that emailed him.

[–]Shumaa1 2 points3 points ago

It'll be one of those "Internets most hilarious clips" programmes

[–]Drinks_TigerBlood 0 points1 point ago

Probably Tosh.0

[–]pittofdoom 30 points31 points ago

Moral of the story: all it takes for a woman to bring a man down is a swift kick in the balls.

[–]Chrischn89 2 points3 points ago

I like the way you see things!

[–]drofenaz 9 points10 points ago

Nice.

Yep. This is a karma whores main squeeze right here.

[–]agentup 0 points1 point ago

OH the irony of "How I feel Trying to Get Karma"'s post

[–]Actually_Doesnt_Care 260 points261 points ago

I hate the bitch who is drawing all the attention to her by standing on top of him like that; she didn't even see anything happen and is suddenly involving herself as if she was the cause of it.

[–]DaddyDanceParty 90 points91 points ago

Reading your comment and looking at your username is confusing me.

[–]beeztrain 24 points25 points ago

he cares.. he's just saying that

[–]DreamcastFanboy 2 points3 points ago

I hate people who feign nonchalance.

[–]brainburger[S] 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah? I rarely notice them.

[–]Jdude57 9 points10 points ago

Reading your username makes me wonder why you're not having a Daddy dance party.

[–]DaddyDanceParty 34 points35 points ago

How do you know I'm not?

[–]CTRL_ALT_RAPE 4 points5 points ago

I care, more than you will ever know ಠ◡ಠ

[–]Guitarable 27 points28 points ago

This is the top comment everytime this gif is posted.

[–]Broduski 8 points9 points ago

Because the whole world realizes she's a bitch.

[–]Kombat_Wombat 11 points12 points ago

I can't tell if people are being serious in saying this. Really? She's a bitch?

[–]Broduski -1 points0 points ago

Yes, I would say it's bitchy behavior to prop your foot up on a fallen friend to try to attract attention to yourself.

[–]Kombat_Wombat 2 points3 points ago

It's way excessive to call this woman a bitch.

[–]Cormophyte 1 point2 points ago

I, for one, applaud the new Queen of Flatfaceistan.

[–]SrsSteel 0 points1 point ago

First you prop your foot on a fallen friend, then you take Poland.

[–]john_nyc 0 points1 point ago

From the looks of it they are complete strangers...the lady kicking the ball out from under the guy is bitchier in the sense she could have hurt the guy.

[–]haloquent 35 points36 points ago

They're just goofing around. in my opinion having a girl stand on you is more fun than laying in the dirt by yourself, at least it is instantly proclaimed a joke....nothing worse than falling on your face and having no one laugh at it

[–]primitive_screwhead 33 points34 points ago

Relax. It's just some crazy shit that happened, not a karma grab.

[–]Wackydude1234 5 points6 points ago

I said this exact same thing last time this was posted here...

[–]Actually_Doesnt_Care -4 points-3 points ago

Great minds think alike.

[–]redmachined 1 point2 points ago

That girl is the living embodiment of Reddit.

[–]Olukon 0 points1 point ago

I hate the fact that that bothered me, too.

[–]sbanus 0 points1 point ago

Good to know that we who despise our own hypercritical nature are not alone.

[–]LastThursday 2 points3 points ago

It's Charlie Brown in his early twenties.

[–]nohiddenmeaning 3 points4 points ago

r/new hast gotten sloppy lately.

[–]brittneyeng 1 point2 points ago

I remember playing with one of these as a kid and the exact same thing happened, it was one of the funniest moments of my life.

[–]CorraTerria 1 point2 points ago

Props to the obviously caring friend who rode his back at the end.

[–]Yona32 2 points3 points ago

This one never fails to make me laugh.

[–]Rainfly_X 3 points4 points ago

I know this is /r/funny... but really? We're reposting this? Is this what it feels like to be a long-term user and/or old?

[–]Guitarable 8 points9 points ago

I think we're just going to have to accept the fact that Reddit is exploding with new users and we're going to have to get used to seeing repeated content because they outnumber the users who have been here a while.

[–]brainburger[S] 0 points1 point ago

Ahem. I am the OP, and I bet I am the longest-term user in the thread. I hadn't seen it, and found it funny, which qualifies it as a submission. Maybe newer users upvoted it, but there have always been successful reposts.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I too have seen this many times, but I'm actually OK with it being reposted; it makes meh smile.

[–]silverain13 1 point2 points ago

Hey! Have a look through the reddiquette.

[–]merpes 1 point2 points ago

Quiet, you.

[–]Rainfly_X -2 points-1 points ago

I'm not sure which part of reddiquette you're talking about. I voted OP's post down and voiced my opinion that this video is old as shit. Are you implying I should have reported it, thus wasting moderator time for almost no reason?

(note: I didn't downvote you, someone else beat me to it and I figured I wouldn't dogpile)

[–]Notacleverredditor 5 points6 points ago

No, I think he's talking about the "Don't complain about reposts" bit.

[–]Rainfly_X 2 points3 points ago

Oop - didn't scroll down far enough. My monitor cut it off very cleanly between the "Thou shalts" and the "Thou shalt nots", as it were, and I completely missed that lower section without realizing I'd missed anything at all. Suffice it to say, I feel very sheepish about that.

[–]silverain13 1 point2 points ago

It's ok. I've just been getting very tired of the "repost!" posts. They bother me WAY more than the reposts themselves. Yesterday I reread the reddiquette for a different reson and found that point and discovered I finally have a reason to call people of these posts.

[–]Rainfly_X 1 point2 points ago

I know how you feel. Normally I'm in the opposite role, actually, rolling my eyes at the cries of "repost!" because it's new to me. I'm not at all used to being the one incredulous that an old gif is new to so many people. There's no good etiquette or behavior, really, for handling reposts.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Reddit needs built-in report consolidation.

[–]brainburger[S] 1 point2 points ago

I am the OP. I have seen lots of reposts over the years. I don't personally repost material that I have seen, but if I see something new to me and think it worthy of a submission, then I just go for it. It will only be voted-up if enough people appreciate it too.

[–]Rainfly_X 1 point2 points ago

Yes, the one time I complain about something being a repost, it becomes a big enough deal that the OP personally replies to me.

/reaches out to shake your hand

Hi there, my screen name is Rainfly_X, but you can call me Bad Luck Brian.

Seriously, though, sorry for hassling you. I wasn't trying to be a dick, I was just really surprised that this gif was making the rounds again. It seemed very weird that there were still people on reddit who hadn't seen it, and I was a bit too quick to attribute malice (or rather, shameless karma whoring, which is like malice after it's been really really watered down and given a funny hat). Hope you have a nice post-independence day.

[–]brainburger[S] 0 points1 point ago

US independence wasn't such a great day for my country, the UK!

It's cool. I think there are always people who haven't seen something. I actually think that if reposts could somehow be blocked totally, then reddit would not be as good, because there would be even less of a shared experience than now. I joined before there were subreddits, and then nearly everybody seemed to be having the same experience of reddit together. Somehow there seems to be more memes and in-jokes now though!

Anyway, I happened on /r/redditrepost recently, where repost cops are banned on sight :)

[–]SuperGiraffe 1 point2 points ago

saved until someone finds the vid; the laughter is always the best.

[–]joeyignorant 1 point2 points ago

lmao, i could watch that all day

[–]hungrydrunk 0 points1 point ago

Story of my life.

[–]TheMediumPanda 0 points1 point ago

It's one of the few gifs I don't mind seeing reposted again and again.

[–]derekkered37 0 points1 point ago

Scumbag in the back doesn't even see what happened then goes stands on him.

[–]lnickelly 0 points1 point ago

poor guy.

Thanks. Laughed good and hard. Needed it. Now I'm crying.

[–]Isthian 0 points1 point ago

Welcome to peanuts the live action film. Priceless.

[–]ninjaface 0 points1 point ago

I will be conducting an experiment with this gif to determine if people will just continue to upvote this shit indefinitely.

In a few weeks I will post (RE, re,re,repost) this pos and see how much karma can still be harvested from the overused gif.

[–]smokecat20 0 points1 point ago

White people haha.

[–]philosarapter -3 points-2 points ago

This again?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

I think most redditors would consider this an acceptably hilarious repost.

[–]macutchi -4 points-3 points ago

I would have falcon punched that bitch in TWO!!

[–]Casual_Liar -2 points-1 points ago

A suffered a similar and perhaps more painful experience in a intense game of dodgeball a few years ago. It was a life a incredible game, the juniors vs. the seniors at the towns highschool. I was a junior fighting my heart out, dodging everything in sight. Beside me were two guys who were great athletes and also gay lovers. Eventually it was down to us 3 vs 5 seniors. Then shit hit the fan. A senior threw a ball with the fiery fury at the gay couple, but one of them deflected it with their ball. The deflected ball however flew with a monstrous momentum and struck me in the face and knocked me outcold.

[–]CONGART 2 points3 points ago

You're bad at this.

[–]onelazykid 0 points1 point ago

I concur, he is bad at making up believable stories.

[–]psytrancedsquid 0 points1 point ago

He is only casual, cut him a break

[–]CONGART 0 points1 point ago

I could casually lie circles around him.

[–]Casual_Liar 1 point2 points ago

You're probably right. This one did have a bit to much detail, and some of it was a stretch. I try to push it a little in a different direction each time to see what people like or would believe. It's a trick the carnies at the carnival told me to try when tricking people. They said it's what their psychic does, so i figured i give it a shot.

[–]xxx_blade_smokah_xxx -3 points-2 points ago

Someone needs to punch that bitch upside the mouth.

[–]Acurus_Cow -2 points-1 points ago

Gets me every time!

[–]Upvote_and_STFU 5 points6 points ago

[–]egutz89 -2 points-1 points ago

this is hilarious i can't stop watching

Not that guy? I don't see how you missed that...

[–]mockjiggah -1 points0 points ago

hey kid, the world hates you!

[–]Biron5k -1 points0 points ago

I'll never get tired of that gif.

[–]Juicelayer88 -1 points0 points ago

It took me a solid 5 minutes to finally stop watching that and laughing.

[–]CallMeAnEngineer -1 points0 points ago

I would have promptly rose to y feet and broke fucking necks.

[–]Knewtworiddet -4 points-3 points ago

This my favorite gif on the internet.
