[–]Adamalama9 138 points139 points ago

I have no idea what I'm watching, why it's happening, or where in the world things like this are done.

[–]iVoid 46 points47 points ago

But you like it, right?

[–]Adamalama9 51 points52 points ago

Yes. But I don't know why.

[–]iVoid 44 points45 points ago

Probably because.

[–]bromanvt 35 points36 points ago

The best kind of probably.

[–]CommonGeneric 10 points11 points ago

and for a good because

[–]aboothemonkey 5 points6 points ago

upvotes for you all because i couldn't stop laughing.

[–]PJae 375 points376 points ago

Rosa Parks wouldn't stand for these childish antics

[–]Dr_Explosion 382 points383 points ago

She'd probably sit for them.

[–]Ricekrisper 79 points80 points ago

She is an African-American woman.

[–]l30 48 points49 points ago

She WAS an African-American woman.

[–]proud_to_be_a_merkin 22 points23 points ago

Her name was Robert Paulson Rosa Parks.

[–]rotidder4lyfe 4 points5 points ago

Rosa Parks her rear end wherever she sees fit.

[–]RockemSockemBrobots -1 points0 points ago

Not sure if workaholics reference or...

[–]Llevel 2 points3 points ago

Fight Club.

[–]saveatreeburnbibles 0 points1 point ago

Still wrong. She was black. She wasn't from Africa.

I would be European-American if that was the case. See how stupid that sounds?

[–]ForgettableUsername 25 points26 points ago

Oh... That Rosa Parks. I thought we were talking about Rossa Parks with two s's, the well-known Dutch author.

[–]byegone 2 points3 points ago

The one without the garnet. I don't like them, they wet their nests.

[–]ForgettableUsername 4 points5 points ago

Gannet, I think. Garnet is a gemstone which doesn't, so far as I know, make nests.

[–]Josh_The_Boss 1 point2 points ago

No it's Gannon. Gannet is the evil boss from Zelda.

[–]Juicefromconcentrate 1 point2 points ago

No thats... wait you fucked it up. dammit

[–]byegone 0 points1 point ago

[–]UncleRobbie 2 points3 points ago

Upvote for Book Shop reference.

[–]moondizzlepie 13 points14 points ago

This made me laugh for some reason.

[–]oldnewport55 0 points1 point ago

And what does that have to do with this? As an Afro-american man I will not Lay down for this kind of racism!

[–]panky117 2 points3 points ago

so she'll cook for them too?

[–]Lordscoot 0 points1 point ago

No my good friend. She would sit on them. not sit for them. on them.

[–]LordGrey 406 points407 points ago

I don't understand. Is this a thing?!

[–]Gunpla00 130 points131 points ago

its like the evolution of planking i believe...the next core step

[–]elegylegacy 196 points197 points ago

Oooh Long Johnson.

[–]coghlan 80 points81 points ago

Oooh Don Piaaaano.

[–]orionxx 37 points38 points ago

Why I eyes ya

[–]wheresmyhouse 28 points29 points ago

All the live long day.

What are the odds that 4 people would have got that? I saw that on America's Funniest Videos close to ten years ago.

[–]elegylegacy 7 points8 points ago

South Park did an episode about it.

[–]wheresmyhouse -1 points0 points ago

How long ago?

[–]Leo-D 4 points5 points ago

It's from the current season.

[–]ridik_ulass 0 points1 point ago

that explains why all the videos now have laugh tracks on it.

[–]adawdsdaw 1 point2 points ago

What are the odds that 4 people would have got that? I saw that on America's Funniest Videos close to ten years ago.

What do you mean? Who hasn't seen that video...

[–]K3TtLek0Rn 0 points1 point ago

I always thought he says why I oughta

[–]NosferatuHeftyDance 1 point2 points ago

What happened to Travyonning?

[–]McBurger 1 point2 points ago

Trayvonning? Is that where you be black and walk through a gated community at 2am with a can of Arizona and a bag of skittles?

[–]NosferatuHeftyDance 0 points1 point ago

It was this http://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/yk845/treyvoning/ So you got the gist of it.

[–]Gunpla00 0 points1 point ago

i can see that being right

[–]Doxep 0 points1 point ago

No, this is way older than planking... I don't know if this was already posted on Reddit, but it's at least 3-4 years old.

[–]derusion 42 points43 points ago

This video is 2 years old, so it was a thing.

[–]incomodo_a_la_gente 24 points25 points ago

I did this when I was on high school (4/5 years ago). Another variant is stopping the bus to tie your shoes in the door step.

EDIT: found this video (recorded with a potato)

[–]JasonEay 5 points6 points ago

What's the video?

[–]pseudolobster 16 points17 points ago

Two boys are waiting for a bus. The first boy pretends to board the bus, then grabs the other boy's shoulders and rides him piggy-back away from the bus. Then, the first boy goes back to the bus as it is driving away, gets it to stop, and repeats the process over again.

[–]readparse 25 points26 points ago

Yeah, but it's not the first boy the second time. It's a new boy. So it's a total of four guys involved. I also thought it was the first boy the second time, but it's important to get to the bottom of this very important work that we're doing here, so I have examined it very closely :)

[–]misterxy89 58 points59 points ago

So it's stupid then? Gotcha.

[–]Josh_The_Boss 3 points4 points ago

But that's what makes it funny.

[–]greatunknownpub 15 points16 points ago

Stupid doesn't always equal funny. Like this time.

[–]ElectronicDrug 2 points3 points ago

Actually it's 4 different people.

[–]gustoizm 2 points3 points ago

[–]bstockton 22 points23 points ago

Wow, just got it. He's stopping the bus so he can get on the bus' step to help himself get on his friend's back. At least I think that's the prank.

[–]thingsomething 1 point2 points ago

Yes, although I prefer Stopping a bus to tie your shoe.

[–]cdgalanis 0 points1 point ago

That shit would never fly on a CTA bus (Chicago). The driver would close the doors on you and run over your foot. I've been yelled at for pausing to take my bus pass out of my backpack before boarding.

[–]bricardo 2 points3 points ago

Yes. A childish thing.

[–]mr612 2 points3 points ago

Kind of, there's also the prank similar to this where the bus stops and the person ties their shoe on one of the steps.

[–]HarmonicMinorShred 4 points5 points ago

Another video of the same thing with different people.

[–]mandrilltiger 1 point2 points ago

I think the idea is that they stopped the bus not to get on but to just get the step up so they could piggy back the other person.

[–]waffleninja 0 points1 point ago

This gif has been around for years. Saw it on reddit a couple years ago.

[–]TheDroopy -2 points-1 points ago

I hope so

[–]thepizzlefry 142 points143 points ago

This would not be acceptable in San Francisco. You would get bitch slapped by a gay yuppie, a stoner would beat you over the head with their djembe and a schizophrenic chinese woman wearing 6 pairs of sunglasses would spit on your face and swear at you in Cantonese. There are few things that bring San Franciscans together more than mutual hatred for people who slow down a MUNI bus.

[–]resident_gay_man 49 points50 points ago

a schizophrenic chinese woman wearing 6 pairs of sunglasses

Oh God, I know the lady you're talking about. She used to ride the 30 Stockon?

[–]HKsNosferatu 25 points26 points ago

I recalled she had a bedazzled sweater too. I understood some of the cantonese ramblings - she was straight up crazy.

[–]Milkman95 2 points3 points ago

Are you guys talking about the lady that talks to herself? And laughs alot?

[–]cargocultpants 21 points22 points ago

It's possible to make MUNI any slower than it already is?

[–]klparrot 17 points18 points ago

Not really. In 2010, Muni vehicles had an average speed of less than 9 mph, making Muni the slowest public transit system in America.

[–]zacwest 12 points13 points ago

Don't forget that Muni defines a minute as up to 119 seconds! That way they aren't "late". And if a bus arrives late, it is counted as the next scheduled stop being early or on time.

[–]iama_brick 0 points1 point ago

Why is Muni so fucking inefficient?! Man, I'm glad I moved to south of SF. Samtrans are just so much better.

[–]therealpersona 1 point2 points ago

It still beats walking from caltrain to north beach.

[–]conversionbot -4 points-3 points ago

9 mph = 14.48 km/h

[–]klparrot 3 points4 points ago

[–]alcakd 0 points1 point ago

Never thought I'd think that.

[–]stayonmysidetonight -1 points0 points ago

There was one bot that would convert imperial to metric and end his posts with "Yee-Haw!". I liked him.

[–]joshing_uno 0 points1 point ago

Absolutely not. I'm fairly sure that the drivers are trained extensively in all manner of procrastination. Add to that the number of self absorbed assholes, mentally disturbed, punk ass teens, the wheelchair bound, and lost tourists in SF, and you've got an amazing recipe for late.

[–]PADDINGTONBeer 2 points3 points ago

BACK DOOR!!

[–]longtime_lurker_83 0 points1 point ago

It's a good thing it's in Mexico City. What's the worst that could happen... oh, yeah... shit, just remembered...

[–]Sthr33 46 points47 points ago

That is mildly inconvenient.

[–]cmilla 9 points10 points ago

So funny! I bet he raises his hand in class and just says he's stretching.

[–]vinniS 203 points204 points ago

the double trolling is impressive

[–]Skizot_Bizot 101 points102 points ago

Yeah at first I was like "lame"

Then out comes the other person and I'm like "oh poor other guy gonna miss bus now"

Fooled me too lol. Clever trolling.

[–]MrNameless 92 points93 points ago

Prank =/= Troll Troll Troll Troll Troll

[–]kerms 14 points15 points ago

Words change, man.

[–]delabass 49 points50 points ago

Come to reddit, where an image macro is a meme!

[–]tonsilolith 17 points18 points ago

Really, anything can be a meme. Except Milhouse.

[–]holy_repost_batman 12 points13 points ago

Milhouse is not a meme is a meme.

[–]buster2Xk 0 points1 point ago

Anything can but most aren't. And when people try to make them one, you get a forced meme, like arrows to the knee. Damn, people tried way too hard to make that funny...

[–]JoshTheDerp -1 points0 points ago

I actually read that in his voice.

[–]xebes 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, they also get misused by ignorant retards.

[–]GenOmega 2 points3 points ago

See the /r/Battlefield3 subreddit. Apparently using C4 is automatically trolling now and Jihad Jeeping is just a form of said trolling. Back from BF2, I remember C4 being the thing that got me points and Jihad jeeping actually being a tactic to get rid of tanks AND actually having a decent pun to its name since one faction of players was the MEC.

[–]Tordek 0 points1 point ago

Literally.

[–]ADD_attack 0 points1 point ago

I think the bus driver would be pissed.

[–]NoSleepForMeEVER 17 points18 points ago

At first I thought the first guy was getting kidnapped but then they did it again... Lol

[–]ForgettableUsername 23 points24 points ago

That makes sense, people do get kidnapped this way.

[–]dru1138 4 points5 points ago

it's the most common form of kidnapping actually.

[–]DOWNVOTE_AND_REPORT 8 points9 points ago

What willful piggyback bus stopping?

[–]ForgettableUsername 15 points16 points ago

Exactly. Happens all the time in urban centers. People minding their own business get ruthlessly taken away while trying to board public transportation.

[–]dru1138 6 points7 points ago

it's tragic really.

[–]ForgettableUsername 1 point2 points ago

Oh? Well, yes, I suppose it is.

[–]DOWNVOTE_AND_REPORT 0 points1 point ago

Yeah it's like the competitive fares

[–]ForgettableUsername 1 point2 points ago

There ought to be a law.

[–]DOWNVOTE_AND_REPORT 0 points1 point ago

Or union

[–]Sacrosanction 0 points1 point ago

This isn't trolling, this is a prank.

[–]Black-Box 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if it was trolling or they people just wanted a easy way to jump on someones back. I mean all they had to do was walk on than walk off the bus to be considered trolling.

[–]CalPolySLO 20 points21 points ago

Why????

[–]607607607607 13 points14 points ago

teenagers

[–]vegeto079 4 points5 points ago

Because people like bus drivers don't deal with enough shitheads as is, including having to drive in very busy streets, stuggling to get places on time while everyone is an asshole on the road.

No, they need this, it's going to make their day because it's so funny. I'm glad teenagers provide this service to the bus drivers.

[–]LastDawnOfMan 5 points6 points ago

Good job, kids. Way to make sure bus drivers won't stop for kids who desperately need rides on buses in the future.

[–]Wolfszeit 2 points3 points ago

Do you think this prank will make the busdriver drive past kids who are waiting for the bus?

Hah.

[–]Larry_G 20 points21 points ago

this is some deep humor

[–]squiggilysk33t 22 points23 points ago

It's a piggy bus ride.

[–]mellow__yellow 10 points11 points ago

Damn youths

[–]leahyrain 17 points18 points ago

Am i the only one who laughed?

[–]CharmanderUsedEmber 25 points26 points ago

I think it's hilarious. I don't understand all the hate.

[–]omgdinosaurs 8 points9 points ago

Agreed. This is pretty funny. At the very least, its something different and not your typical recycled dumb meme.

[–]AsskickMcGee 12 points13 points ago

The best part is, it's a funny, original prank that only mildly inconveniences the victim, which is hard to pull off. Pranks often either extremely offend/scare/inconvenience random strangers or are way too nice and not funny at all.

[–]omgdinosaurs 4 points5 points ago

Yea. Its harmless. People need to lighten up

[–]kingofbigmac 0 points1 point ago

Haven't seen the hateful comments yet. I shouldn't scroll down more.

[–]SchadeyDrummer 2 points3 points ago

I laughed hard, out loud, by myself. upvote.

[–]skreed 1 point2 points ago

I did but I'm not sure why. Then I kept watching it and laughed again.

[–]kingofbigmac 0 points1 point ago

I laughed and still am.

[–]robbyiballs 0 points1 point ago

These kids are screwing it for the rest of us.

[–]he_ded 2 points3 points ago

That driver must be like, "fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again?"

[–]halfveela 2 points3 points ago

There are so many better people to fuck with than an exhausted transit worker...

[–]BlastMeBagpipes -3 points-2 points ago

This isn't even funny. :(

[–]delabass 17 points18 points ago

Correct. It's hilarious!

[–]geoffreynt -4 points-3 points ago

I don't see the point other than to frustrate the bus driver and make other people potentially late for wherever they are going. I see something like this happen, and I immediately want something really fucking bad to happen to those kids. Fuckin' kids, just go play around a dumpster and die.

[–]ByJiminy 18 points19 points ago

Well, the point is the same behind most pranks: To have fun by annoying the uptight and cranky. Based on your response, they were successful.

[–]RedditRage -2 points-1 points ago

Yes, because getting pissed off at shitheads causing one to being late for work, missing a bus transfer, or worse, is merely being "uptight and cranky". Based on your response, you are one of these shitheads, congratulations on your success.

[–]ByJiminy 6 points7 points ago

He asked what their point was and I told him. Where did I say I supported this kind of thing? Take a deep breath, calm down, and realize not everyone on the internet is your enemy. It'll help your blood pressure.

EDIT: You're right, though. It's not uptight and cranky to want kids to die for a harmless prank. It's psychopathic.

DOUBLE EDIT: It's not really psychopathic. Just internet hyperbole.

[–]jacobholmes 0 points1 point ago

Dude it lasted all of 3 seconds.

You're acting like they popped their tires or something.

[–]RedditRage -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, that makes it okay. I'm sure you like kids fucking with you when you're trying to do your job. Oh, but I bet it's okay with you, just a harmless prank, as long as it's someone else and not you, right?

[–]JasonEay 1 point2 points ago

That's the most concise trolling definition I've ever seen.

[–]99drumdude -1 points0 points ago

can someone please explain wtf im looking at.?

[–]goblinpiledriver 29 points30 points ago

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like the kids are messing with the bus driver by faking like they want to get on, but then turning and leaving via piggy-back ride.

[–]99drumdude 26 points27 points ago

yeah ive been studying this and i think thats what they are doing too.. little rascals!

[–]SCOTT_MESCUDI 5 points6 points ago

It wouldn't be cool if they just got on and walked off I suppose

[–]6Sungods 1 point2 points ago

I would like for you to continue this study and write a thesis on it. I will read it.

[–]99drumdude 1 point2 points ago

you gib me monies??

[–]6Sungods 1 point2 points ago

No but i will say kind things if people ask me about you. :)

[–]99drumdude 0 points1 point ago

O: otays.. SOO. my studies have concluded that two swagfag yolo-ers tried to troll a bus driver by decoying as an innocent pedestrian wanting to ride on the bus but then jumps on his buddies back and repeats a second time before the driver catches a hint of the predicament a drives off

[–]6Sungods 1 point2 points ago

I approve of this message and acknowledge you as a certified yologist.

[–]99drumdude 0 points1 point ago

life well lived.

[–]HarmonicMinorShred 0 points1 point ago

the thing is that they need the bus for prank, the steps on the entry give them a boost so they can hop on the other guys back more easily.
