He must have leveled up.

[–]The_Poop_Phantom 201 points202 points ago

Huh?... Runner is evolving!

[–]friday6700 196 points197 points ago

Runner has evolved into Kenyan!

[–]x755x 82 points83 points ago

Level 100 already?

[–]Neelpos 47 points48 points ago

I think Kenyans got nerfed to 99, Jamaica got bumped to 100, something about the Olympic Update.

[–]x755x 2 points3 points ago

No, that's Sprinter. Runner max is still Kenyan.

[–]nastyjman 42 points43 points ago

[–]derpthebass 8 points9 points ago

How the hell have I not seen that before.

[–]Nocturnhabeo 9 points10 points ago

Not sure seeing as it was one of those staples of the internet for like 5 years.

[–]TheHugeBastard -2 points-1 points ago

I agree.

Final evolved state, Jamaican!

Kenyan has evolved to Bolt!

[–]nameless88 34 points35 points ago

Well, yes, in layman's terms. You see, white people have a speed limit. What we're witnessing here is a white person actually going faster than they're supposed to go. Since white people can't be fast or good at sports, nature takes the only logical course and makes him black instead. It's sort of like when you break the sound barrier, there's a sonic boom. Well, in this case, he's breaking a racial barrier, which causes the dramatic change of skin color. It's really quite fascinating, and this might be one of the only instances that we've actually been able to witness this phenomena actually recorded.

One of the best ones I've seen via Youtube:

"Sir, we've found the victim hung upside down in a freezer, dressed like a clown, stabbed with No. 2 pencils, and gummy worms stuffed down his pants."

[–]JPBoricua 21 points22 points ago

That gives a whole new meaning to breaking the color barrier lol

[–]chubbybabybody 28 points29 points ago

So then it's called evolution? OHOHOHOHOHO

[–]wipeout4wh 5 points6 points ago

Whoosh.

[–]ha_nope 10 points11 points ago

After viewing in gif explode you see that the first frame is with the kid already out and the black guy walking as he pulls in a new person appears, the runner. it would make more sense if you saw it so go here http://gif-explode.com/ and put in this link http://i.imgur.com/6FHm8.jpg

[–]Staafmixer 2 points3 points ago

No shit, Sherlock

Or http://gif-explode.com/http://i.imgur.com/6FHm8.jpg , for the lazy.

[–]HairlessSasquatch 5 points6 points ago

If only it was a black runner changing into a walking white guy. The possibilities would be endless

"LAW ENFORCEMENT EVASION MANEUVERS" morphs into inconspicuous white guy

[–]Skython 4 points5 points ago

just reverse the gif. added bonus of epic moonwalk skill.

[–]P2D_ItsME -1 points0 points ago

presumably if he can morph from white to black he should be able to do it the other direction as well. so, the possibilities you discuss still apply

[–]King_Pumpernickel 2 points3 points ago

I didn't notice the white to black guy because I kept wondering what the hell was so interesting about the kid in the hat.

[–]munch112000 0 points1 point ago

EDIT: Found her

this comment made me feel weird

[–]thieving_magpie -2 points-1 points ago

Boner joke, etc.

[–]fatLOKO4 -1 points0 points ago

more importantly, how did said transformation slow him down?

[–]smittyjones -1 points0 points ago

i'm mostly surprised the black guy is walking.

[–]Diggleborf -1 points0 points ago

that kid. has one of the most punchable faces i have ever seen...next to mine

[–]MathewMurdock -1 points0 points ago

BLACK MAGIC MOTHERFUCKER.

[–]JellybeanTheDog -1 points0 points ago

This is the first thing to make me laugh out loud in days.

[–]homestargunner -1 points0 points ago

Just a poorly made gif...or is it?

[–]MackDeeZee 0 points1 point ago

It's is. Watch her mouth. Words don't line up. It was chopped and glued.

[–]Ska-jayjay -1 points0 points ago

By definition, any video that loops, is glued.

[–]MackDeeZee -1 points0 points ago

Are people that dense. It's clearly gypsy magic.

[–]iimadoki -1 points0 points ago

I have figured it out! The gif starts when the black man starts running, so while we were concentrating on the kid, it created an illusion where the gif started when the white person was running!

[–]ned_krelly -1 points0 points ago

He was running so fast he phase shifted?

[–]j00jy -1 points0 points ago

It's a mutant.

[–]Learned__Hand 0 points1 point ago

You see, the white guy's mom realized at that exact moment that his conception was technically a rape, and therefore her body must have aborted him retroactively at that moment, changing the space time continuum which resulted in her, instead, getting pregnant by a black guy she had had subsequent intercourse with.

I mean, its pretty obvious.

[–]smokecat20 0 points1 point ago

He's part of the shape shifting reptilian race that built the first microprocessors inside the great pyramid in Giza using alien technology to overthrow the current leaders into the new world order with help of the black pope.

[–]TheVoices_InYourHead 0 points1 point ago

....mah.

[–]Bezzie1223 1 point2 points ago

The recording started with a African man walking and a white man was running at the end of recording gOd get your facts right

[–]liberalis 1 point2 points ago

The photobombing kid did something. Threw paint maybe.

I'm as concerned with the kid behind the reporter.

[–]someweirdguy 0 points1 point ago

The runner committed a crime, the rest of the gif was recreated using police data gathered on the suspect

[–]bleunt 0 points1 point ago

We see the white guy running. Then the gif cuts to 3-4 secs later where we see the black guy he was running from.

[–]WangFuAdam -2 points-1 points ago

Hahaha I've seen this gif so many times and I never noticed that

[–]irunthepeg -3 points-2 points ago

Pretty sure Justin Bieber aka Harry Potter is casting a spell when he pops into frame.
