I have to admit that was quite comedic.

I just got back from South Korea... I can assure you everyone dances to this over there....

[–]ParrotHere 17 points18 points ago

All the time. To work, on the train, in subway, even when sitting down.

[–]yofog 7 points8 points ago

It's at least partly satirical, surely?

[–]waynestream 3 points4 points ago

In an interview the singer, PSY, said that he just wanted to create a stupid dance and everyone liked it for no apparent reason.

[–]HerpUndDerpx3 2 points3 points ago

Mission Accomplished.

[–]ruderabbit 4 points5 points ago

It's not intended to be ... the singer, Psy, just wanted to make a fun summer song with his signature ... eccentric ... style ...

[–]almighTYler 4 points5 points ago

There was a large article that was linked days ago that implied it was meant to be satirical, though I can't find it again.

[–]yofog 4 points5 points ago

Yes, I only just heard about this on NPR about 2 days ago, and they were interviewing someone (sorry, can't remember) who said there was a satirical side to it. So, I was looking for confirmation of that, particularly now that I've actually seen it, and the bathroom scene.

[–]juizyu 3 points4 points ago

This one?

[–]siborg51 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was another retarded bandwagon. I am not on the bandwagon, that was hilarious.

[–]Clamburglar 0 points1 point ago

y'know, he kinda reminds me of the six flags guy

[–]DerpalSherpa 3 points4 points ago

I know what it is, but still don't get it. I get douche chills trying to watch it. I'm old.

*Why the downvotes?... I'm just saying how I feel and not bashing anything?

[–]kantorekB14 62 points63 points ago

Gangnam Style" is a Korean language colloquialism that refers to a luxurious lifestyle associated with the Gangnam district, an affluent and trendy area of Seoul. The music video depicts Psy dancing at various locations in Gangnam. The song is about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild."

A literal translation of "오빤 강남 스타일 (Oppan Gangnam seutail)" is "(I) Oppa Is Gangnam Style". The Korean word 오빠 (oppa) means "a female's elder brother" but can be also used as a first-, second- or third-person masculine pronoun to designate a male who is elder or older than a female. Based on more recent cultural norms, the term has typically been used to refer to a boyfriend or male spouse. It is used as a first-person pronoun in this phrase. 오빤 (oppan) is an abbreviation of 오빠는 (oppaneun). 는 is a topic marker, which in this case means the implied subject of the sentence is the singer (오빠). The verb "to be" is omitted, as is often the case in such short Korean sentences. Thus the literal translation of "Oppan Gangnam style" is "Your big brother [is] Gangnam Style".

Just to be clear I copied this from Wikipedia, it took about 15 seconds.

[–]BenZen 11 points12 points ago

TL;DR: "Oppan Gangnam Style" means "Your brah's classy as fuck"

[–]sirisaacnuton 19 points20 points ago

"the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild"

So, a lady in the streets but a freak in the bed?

[–]weaselonfire 20 points21 points ago

...in the sheets.

[–]sirisaacnuton 0 points1 point ago

That may be a common variant of the phrase, but it's not the one Ludacris used in the linked song (he needed something that rhymes with "we leave em dead")

[–]grumace 4 points5 points ago

Yeah! (yeah) yeah! Yeah.

[–]rastapasta808 0 points1 point ago

Almost had it.

[–]Login_302112 3 points4 points ago

So it has nothing to do with gundams?

[–]mebbee 1 point2 points ago

Well I thought it was catchy and I'm cool with the whole sexy lady thing...but now I'm being told that it means "Your older brother is luxurious". I'm not quite sure what to think.

[–]Jjajan 17 points18 points ago

Its quite obviously satire.

Gangnam is like the beverley hills of korea. Oppa is what a, like, 20 year old girl would call a 25 year old guy.

He is making fun of the rich 40 year old men telling all of the cute young girls to call them oppa and then try to get in their pants by trying to prove they are young and fun.

Edit: Also, he is big in korea because ( now this is what my mom told me, so I'm not certain) because like 15 years ago when he tried to get in the music business, all of the companies turned him down because he is ugly.

So then he payed their secretaries, or something, to get the scheduling for when the company heads would go to karaoke. Then he would proceed to sing and dance his heart out.

Eventually, one company head enjoyed his performances so much, he was like, what ever, just make an album, do whatever you want (which is weird for kpop because usually the company controls everything about their singers)

[–]dinofan01 9 points10 points ago

Okay thanks. I did some Googling and apparently this broke in late July/ Early August. I barely became aware of it last night. How have I not noticed this? I must have just been ignoring it till it built up and I had to see it.

[–]tosswe44 15 points16 points ago

It's confirmed as satire. Do your homework.

[–]Pxzib 1 point2 points ago

Whether or not he intended the video to be satirical is largely speculated.

I don't even...

[–]dryxon 23 points24 points ago

can we make a gif of this? i'd really appreciate that

[–]ifishintoilets 35 points36 points ago

One does not simply gandalf style into mordor.

[–]cmykevin 17 points18 points ago

Err, so someone posted this on facebook last night with a 9gag wrapper... Did Reddit just give them a taste of their own medicine?

[–]OurNameIsLegion 22 points23 points ago

That's not important. What's important is 'Fuck 9gag'.

[–]Shadrahk 12 points13 points ago

FUCK 9GAG WOOO

[–]Draedgal 1 point2 points ago

Now I know why we hate 9gag since 9fag_expert posted.

[–]dan2737 -2 points-1 points ago

Copying off other people is still as bad, it's not "a taste of their own medicine" and a positive thing just because they do it all the time.

[–]ElGoddamnDorado 0 points1 point ago

Do you see a watermark somewhere or something? I don't see how posting an image on a content aggregate sight with no implied ownership as "stealing pictures".

[–]joke-away 1 point2 points ago

The difference is that it's 9gag's staff that steals, while it's reddit's users.

[–]dWoell 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say the same thing. I_DO_NOT_EAT_SHIT is a proven karma whore.

This is more of an "and what also floats in water?" moment. "Who died and made you king" was the scene with the mudfarmers.

Yea I realized that mid post, I had the picture handy so I used that one instead..my bad

Funny, this was on 9gag over a day ago.

No source

Is reddit doing what we usually flame 9gag for?

Nice!

[–]WoodJaguar 11 points12 points ago

9gag falsifies time stamps: http://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/zacju/9gag_repost_machine_explained/

[–]TheFluxIsThis 13 points14 points ago

I flame 9gag for putting obnoxious tags on the images that get uploaded to them, like they fucking own them.

[–]OurNameIsLegion 2 points3 points ago

Impossible. Reddit would never be hypocritical. Not even once.

But actually, I think the issue was that 9gag goes to these posts and changes the timestamp to make them look like the original site. Reddit cares not.

[–]computmaxer 0 points1 point ago

Why were you on 9gag over a day ago?

[–]RedSeed 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, this isn't funny.

[–]tofman 2 points3 points ago

isn't he from hawaii five-o?

[–]bronerkill 4 points5 points ago

I think so, but I remember him from Entourage actually.

[–]icaaryal 0 points1 point ago

He's most strongly associated with Enemy of the State for me, even though he was a pretty minor character there.

[–]laddergoat89 2 points3 points ago

Oceans films in my mind.

[–]bristow84 0 points1 point ago

Yes he actually plays Danny "Danno" Williams on the new Hawaii Five-0. Actually not half a bad show IMO

Because it is a good satire and the rythm is easy to listen to. Also, the dance is the new Fresh Prince dance.
