Why in the fucking world is this in /r/wtf?

[–]TheCarlos 39 points40 points ago

Wow That's Funny!

[–]aldude3 13 points14 points ago

But it isn't even funny.

[–]goforglory 1 point2 points ago

That's so WTF about it. You're all like "wtf why is this in wtf?", then your simple mind clicks.

[–]aldude3 0 points1 point ago

I thought was "I remember that this was one of the first youtube vids that I have seen" then proceeded by "Why is this here?"

[–]babystroller 5 points6 points ago

Also, why is gore in /r/wtf? Gore is gore. If you fall off of your bike you bleed, maybe need stitches. What's wtf about that?

[–]New_Wav 1 point2 points ago

Well some gore is pretty "What the fuck how did that happen?"

But I see your point.

[–]BALTIM0R0N -1 points0 points ago

Because it's become a catch-all that reddit.com used to occupy, I think.

[–]ofd1197 0 points1 point ago

[–]BitterDivorcedDad 106 points107 points ago

Try /r/funny

[–]MangoPenguin 65 points66 points ago

Or /r/gifs...

[–]sprawld 6 points7 points ago

Or /r/reposts

[–]down_vote_magnet 3 points4 points ago

Yes. The reason OP posted this here is because it's been reposted everywhere else already and they were trying to find a subreddit they could add it to.

[–]97bluelights 7 points8 points ago

It seems like people have been putting gifs in r/funny more often now, and once there is so much, others feel comfortable in doing it, and soon r/funny is filled with gifs... kinda bothers me...

[–]trouttfish 4 points5 points ago

I feel that

[–]Predator_ 0 points1 point ago

Or /r/mildlyinteresting

[–]farewelltokings2 6 points7 points ago

It made me say wtf, but not in the way it was intended.

[–]pabechan 15 points16 points ago

Therefore, /r/funny.

[–]KegsOfMoreVomitspit 9 points10 points ago

its not even funny though

[–]RaidensReturn 5 points6 points ago

/r/gifs is more like it

[–]Zonked420 1 point2 points ago

Or even r/primus. This is what plays on screen during southbound pachyderm at their shows.

[–]Tatortotts 40 points41 points ago

WTF? Try fucking /r/gore or some shit, this is too fucking crazy for this subreddit.

[–]markymark89 25 points26 points ago

i keep thinking its going to do something wtf worthy, but spoiler alert, no no it doesn't

[–]distastefulconfusing 9 points10 points ago

Elephants can't jump....or is that the irrelephant part?

[–]Lohlein 8 points9 points ago

Why do you think it belongs in /r/wtf?

[–]Forgetful_Rock 0 points1 point ago

If this picture didn't make you make the face of the reddit alien in the top left corner. It doesn't go here.

[–]Brewe 7 points8 points ago

The trunk isn't behaving physically correct.

[–]w3sticles 2 points3 points ago

That's the only thing remotely wtf about this.

[–]Matemato 6 points7 points ago

http://fanten.dk/

[–]DerpEnough 2 points3 points ago

Why can I hear it bouncing?

[–]JizzPoweredSteamboat 3 points4 points ago

You actually looked at this and said "oh my god, what the fuck!?" Seriously man?

Someone said this before, but I'll say it again. This subreddit is turning into a place where soccer mom's go to look at off-beat stuff. Boy that's wacky!

[–]ddfitz 3 points4 points ago

Just wanted everyone to know, this isn't real. It's CGI in case you didn't notice.

[–]turnleftdale 2 points3 points ago

Never post again.

[–]UnrelatedWhale 2 points3 points ago

Whale

"THIS IS ANIMAL ABUSE THEY DON'T BELONG IN CIRCUSES" - PETA

[–]__circle -1 points0 points ago

This really makes you think about how elephants are not at all designed to jump on trampolines. Their bodies just couldn't take the stress.

[–]noisyturtle 0 points1 point ago

Fuck you physics, I'm an elephant.

[–]kovahdiin -2 points-1 points ago

Now, someone put the words deal with it, and some sunglasses on the elephant in that gif and it'll be golden.

[–]boozewald 0 points1 point ago

Primus sometimes has this clip on loop in the background during their concerts during the song Southbound Pachyderm

[–]knottyben 1 point2 points ago

S-S-S-S-SOUTHBOUND PACHYDERM.

[–]ratleaf 0 points1 point ago

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THIS SUBREDDIT? :(((888

[–]bmaeh 1 point2 points ago

outta control! try r/spacedicks!!

[–]NancyTheGrimm 0 points1 point ago

The longer i stare at it the higher it seems the elephant jumps...

[–]VGcatsfan90 0 points1 point ago

I sat waiting for something to happen...

[–]Hiflon 0 points1 point ago

It can jump fast as well

[–]333kyary 0 points1 point ago

Maya?

[–]sideflanker -1 points0 points ago

relephant

[–]niceShepherd 0 points1 point ago

It's funny because "irre" means "crazy" in german... But anyways: Why is this here?

[–]mobu 0 points1 point ago

In a way it's really WTF. We were expecting something totally wtf quality and we got this. WTF is this gif doing here??!

[–]godsonlymistake 0 points1 point ago

There is a very elegant TV ad based on this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6iq4pqpK8w . The elephant seems Pretty celebrant.

[–]TyPainless 2 points3 points ago

You forgot the NSFW tag

[–]knoxblox 0 points1 point ago

I'm surprised no one posted this yet.

[–]Veract 0 points1 point ago

Apparently /r/funny + /r/gifs is the recipe for /r/wtf nowadays? Maybe if I check in /r/aww I'll start finding the sick shit. Idk.

[–]Vay_King 0 points1 point ago

[–]rawrzz 1 point2 points ago

There needs to be a serious moderator crackdown here, holy shit....

[–]Knabinemisto 1 point2 points ago

This doesn't belong here.

[–]Extreemguy19 0 points1 point ago

I'm going to walk up to one of my friends and say "hey wanna see an elephant jumping on a trampoline inside of an abandoned warehouse?" and see what they do.

[–]arms_of_a_bear 0 points1 point ago

This is why there is a downvote arrow, I guess

[–]Mrkickling 0 points1 point ago

[–]Chevy_Cheyenne 0 points1 point ago

This gif made me strangely happy :)

[–]Anhedonique 0 points1 point ago

I don't mind people posting non-wtf and reposted material in r/wtf I'm more concerned about 600 other people upvoting this.

[–]Schrute_Facts 0 points1 point ago

That problem remains that people are upvoting links that are in the wrong subreddit. The Downvote is here for this reason- but it's not being used enough/correctly.

[–]theycallmealex 0 points1 point ago

This is from some sort of childrens story, is it not? I remember my band director telling us a story about elephants bouncing on a trampoline because it was her two year old sons favorite story

[–]Gavekort 0 points1 point ago

You want some source with that?

[–]onlyhereforthecake 0 points1 point ago

I think I just watched this for about half an hour...I'm really high...

[–]kittenkat4u 0 points1 point ago
