The only thing I noticed at first was the kid popping out, and I'm thinking wth is with this title. Annnnd then it happened.

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 396 points397 points ago

He broke the pigmentation speed barrier

[–]NovaDeez 236 points237 points ago

That's why it seems like black people are so fast, anyone who can reach a certain speed instantly becomes black.

[–]BulletBilll 267 points268 points ago

So if someone goes too slow do they turn white? Were MJ's moonwalks considered negative speed?

[–]Klexicon 281 points282 points ago

Negative speed turned him white. The logic checks out. Cased closed. We can all go home now.

[–]ConstantLies 20 points21 points ago

The case is not closed without a proper study and a larger population. We'll need control groups of black individuals for moon walking and not moon walking. Furthermore, we should test the hypothesis that white people moon walking turns them asian.

[–]ProbablyFaded 6 points7 points ago

only because he was moving in the opposite direction of "positive" velocity. speed is speed is speed

[–]BulletBilll 0 points1 point ago

Yes, I am aware that there is no such thing as negative speed just as there is no such thing as negative length. I was saying a joke.

[–]Thydamine 42 points43 points ago

What if there are no black people...

just fast white people?

I think it's about 88mph. Then you see some serious shit.

Whoa, that's heavy.

Great Scott! I think you may be on to something there!

[–]JJTV23 2 points3 points ago

She also grew a penis

[–]MEHtheUnicorn 0 points1 point ago

What you don't realize is that the kid actually did some black magic ( I see what you did there) and turns him into a black man.

[–]brbegg 33 points34 points ago

Black-shift.

[–]HDTV_FTW 11 points12 points ago

Any faster and he would have gone plaid.

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 2 points3 points ago

What's the matter colonel sanders? Chicken?!

[–]leex0 27 points28 points ago

i didn't read the title at all and was perfectly amused by the little kid. and then i saw the title and saw the other cool thing. It's like a two-for-one!

[–]LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCK 10 points11 points ago

Well the kid is the focus of the gif. But last time it was posted the top comment pointed out the jogger turning in to a blackman.

[–]HogBacon 70 points71 points ago

[–]scruffy01 85 points86 points ago

What does Samuel Jackson have anything to do with this?

[–]coopteleville 113 points114 points ago

Um, no. That's Denzel Washington.

[–]TREADMILLFROMHELL 131 points132 points ago

dude, that's racist. Will smith does NOT look like Denzel Washington.

[–]sarice19[S] 87 points88 points ago

wait wasnt that louis armstrong?

[–]jbagz 276 points277 points ago

RIP.

[–]ImArchMageBitch 33 points34 points ago

Guys it was clearly Wesley Snipes.

[–]zekerep 24 points25 points ago

I though it was ludacris.

[–]ManOfAluminum 78 points79 points ago

This whole thread is ludicrous.

[–]yourmindin3D 1 point2 points ago

i beg to differ its clearly Damon wayans dont you see the distinguished features?

[–]arl5240 6 points7 points ago

No you're confusing him with Marlon Wayans

[–]PostSincerity 3 points4 points ago

It's so sad about his Tour de France titles being stripped.

[–]bkhinn -4 points-3 points ago

lol that's Will Smith, you fool.

[–]Zentaurion 5 points6 points ago

You mofos need to educate yourself about Malcolm X.

[–]haespee 1 point2 points ago

I Love this gif!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

i didn't notice the black guy until the third time i watched this

[–]Jjizzy 0 points1 point ago

did he swim so fast the turned white?

[–]agobayer 176 points177 points ago

I must have watched that kid 10x before i saw the guy running

[–]thejokerxx00 118 points119 points ago

[–]Sneets 21 points22 points ago

Is there a source to this? WHAT WAS HAPPENING?!

[–]misterraider 2 points3 points ago

Funnily enough, this was the exact face I made when I thought that was Sandra Bullock and then realised it wasn't.

[–]Cthulhu_Bloop 0 points1 point ago

Hah, that's pretty close to the face I made actually. I kept waiting for the little kid to start running and turn black or something... then I noticed the runner.

[–]paraprosDOPEan -3 points-2 points ago

This is a good gif to have handy.

[–]imbapwnn00b -4 points-3 points ago

Can someone please cut out the other two girls in this gif?

I have no idea how to do it.

[–]RedPhalcon 66 points67 points ago

[–]goingTofu 227 points228 points ago

Almost the same title and only a day or two apart...

This is the best downvote gif I've ever seen.

Also, probably the only good thing to come from Battleship.

[–]speedyjohn 17 points18 points ago

[–]schwerpunk 2 points3 points ago

I'm really chuffed that, despite these gifs being about reposts, every single one of them is new to me. Though I'm sure they've been posted many times before.

It kind of makes me reconsider the 'it's new to me' people who upvote reposts.

No clue, it's a popular gif that I added arrows to

Battleship was a good movie. I liked it anyway.

that was better than I thought it would be.

[–]Joobydoo115 5 points6 points ago

This is good. I'm saving this one.

[–]Nashvegas 38 points39 points ago

So you can repost it?

[–]hobesmart 2 points3 points ago

yes, and now here's an upvote for you.... just walk away and tell no one of this plan.

TIL Brad Colbert was in Battleship.

I need to get around to watching that.

For those who don't know what movie it was, it's Battleship.

Making that gif the first time that movie entertained anyone.

I like your username... Now I feel bad that I'm not as clever...

[–]Neebat 3 points4 points ago

So, it hasn't been in any subreddit I read for the last 5 months? And when it was, it only got 65 points? In other words, most of the people here never saw it.

Fine with me.

[–]Banana_Party 0 points1 point ago

I just feel so taken advantage of...

[–]rubynibur 0 points1 point ago

Interesting to see the life of a repost.

[–]am02773 0 points1 point ago

All of these titles suck fat faggot dicks though

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 11 points12 points ago

It's a pretty common pattern that the top post from /r/gifs, a non-default sub, almost always shows up on the front page of /r/funny within a week.

[–]stutteringgeiser 7 points8 points ago

And that top post on r/gifs was actually the top post in r/videos the day before.

I sat there watching that fucking kid for 10 minutes before I finally got pissed because I didn't get the joke.

[–]willyolio 11 points12 points ago

i kept waiting for the kid to turn black...

[–]depotman 11 points12 points ago

Nothing ruins the fun of a post more than seeing in the comments that it's a repost. My laughter turns to shame.

[–]LP99 17 points18 points ago

It's ok to have a life and not have every reddit post ever committed to memory.

[–]desertjedi85 4 points5 points ago

My laughter turns to shame.

Why? Just because others have seen it an whine that it's a repost, doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.

[–]ledler0321 40 points41 points ago

God Damn Repost. You karma whore. At least leave more than two days before posting it again.

Some people browse r/all, meaning this is the third time in a week they've seen it.

[–]desertjedi85 -1 points0 points ago

Calm down, I'm on your side.

[–]vertigo1083 2 points3 points ago

No, it wasn't. Karmadecay doesn't grab everything. This was #1 on Saturday night.

[–]desertjedi85 -3 points-2 points ago

Saturday night? You mean when a lot of people go out of their houses and do things and not sit on Reddit so they can complain 2 days later that something was already on the front page?

[–]vertigo1083 0 points1 point ago

Who's complaining? You we're wrong, and I pointed it out. No need to try to be a condescending asshole about it.

You can be a Repost White Knight all you want.

When it's done over and over and over again, people are going to point it out and someone like you comes along with some shit like:

"WELL I DIDN'T SEE IT, SO THERE CAN'T BE ANYTHING WRONG", as if the entire website revolves around /u/desertjedi85;

You look ridiculous.

[–]desertjedi85 -1 points0 points ago

Idiot. It's back on the front page for a reason. People don't upvote things because they've seen it and didn't like it.

[–]JewboiTellem -1 points0 points ago

You both suck.

End of discussion.

[–]yourhouseisonfire 7 points8 points ago

Reddiquette:

Please don't:

Complain about reposts. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone has. Votes indicate the popularity of a post, so just vote.

Edit: Seriously, though, I find the whining about reposts to be way more annoying than the reposts themselves. Just stop.

[–]peg_leg 0 points1 point ago

I've got to keep that in mind for later. I might want to repost it.

Impossible, once you go black you NEVER go back.

White guy running equals black guy walking.

[–]Hoominaga 11 points12 points ago

Dude, at least wait an entire week next time.

[–]desertjedi85 11 points12 points ago

Over 1,000 people upvoted it. That should make you realize that people are not here all the time, every day.

[–]Neebat 5 points6 points ago

Right now, over 4000 people upvoted it.

In fact, it hasn't been in any default subreddit for the last 5 months. And when it was, it only got 65 points. In other words, most of the people here never saw it.

Fuck the whiners.

I didn't even notice! Lmao

[–]schwerpunk 0 points1 point ago

The title is funny, but the lack of capitalization, and the fact that this is a blatant repost (I'm told), leads me to deduce that OP is not a cool person. He probably stole his title from the comments section of the last repost.

Why are people always complaining about reposts? Sereously, do all of you complaining about it search reddit before posting anything? I mean, that would actually be a good thing to do but I don't expect people to be that not-lazy. I feel dissapointed too when I click an all blue fresh link on another exciting day of exploring reddit, only to find out I have already seen the cat/boobs/batman-or-other-super-hero-that-is-now-in-cinema-related-content but come on guys. There are probably a few people who try to harvest karma by posting stuff they know is reposted.. But I refuse to believe they are a majority.

Most reposters probably just find their content somewhere on the internet and go 'hey this is nice content, let's post it on reddit!'. So no need for hating. If anything reposts will automatically get less upvotes because more people have already seen it. So there is your punishment. Also this comment is probably been posted by someone at some time in reaction to something, and thereby some kind of repost.

Edit: spacing

With all the times it's been reposted I'm surprised that still no one has pointed out that this .gif starts in the middle, as in the runner is behind the black guy on the street. It's not even funny.

[–]CharlieTango 4 points5 points ago

Thats because it doesnt need to be pointed out... We all just watched the same gif
