Imgur: the other Troll Mecca

Mr. Horse and I love the website Imgur. Imgur, in conjunction with Reddit, is probably the greatest source for memes if you are at work and don'tt dare go on /b/ on 4chan. It is a treasure trove of Soon pics or potential Soon pics. But having spent lots of time on Imgur, I can say that not all of it is great. Half the shit is the same thing over and over again. Some assholes post shit trying to garner praise. Like the frequent asshat that takes a picture of their cat or dog and claims they literally just rescued the animal, just so people can post "awwww, you are such a hero!" Other people, like assholes who work at fast food restaurants take photos of tables that have been completely trashed with the caption "fuck you if you do this." People do the same when someone parks in two spots at the grocery store. Fuck you if you think we care that some asshole with no skills working at Burger King has to clean up some spilled French fries and napkins. Other people post pictures of their girlfriends or sisters in a seemingly innocent photo, like with a cat on her lap, knowing full well that the commenters will all respond with perverted comments. "Pussy on pussy! LOLOLOLOLOLOL"

But with so little effort by many users, it is often too much of a pain to come up with a clever comment. Hence, a fad on imgur that is one of my favorite fads on the Internet: the posting of specific animated gifs that express the commenter's feelings. There is a collection of maybe 30 animated gifs and as soon as someone posts one of the retarded common posts, people just respond with one of the appropriate gifs. And the gifs are fantastic, making the post enjoyable regardless. Even though it is the same gifs every time. Like you know exactly what gifs are gonna be posted in comments to a particular post before you even open them. But it's still funny because it is so meta!

Here are my favorite gifs, catagorized by what sort of post they generally respond to.


In response to people who post pointless shit:





And when it goes beyond pointless or stupid to making people to regret the Internet was ever invented



In response to "Nopes": Hands down my favorite imgur posts are "nopes." Because when you see them you mutter "nope" and quickly click away. Get it? Usually scary spiders or insects that they photographed. Like this:



God, fucking nopes are scary. Well, whenever someone posts a nope, you are guaranteed to get the same fifteen animated gifs post in response. These are the best.







But fortunately, when someone posts a nope, there is a well-known solution. You have to kill it with fire.





Finally people posts pictures that are seemingly innocent, but your standard Internet pervert out there inappropriately finds it pretty hot. Like when someone posts this picture:



These girls are way too young. If Brought made a sick comment about them I'd probably tell Gap to delete it for legal reasons. They are WAY too young. But their positions... And that girl's face... And that other girl's face... And where is that arm going... Oh geez, nothing good can come of this. Oh god, some trolls posted these...



Or hands down the greatest gif on imgur:




Watch...






See! It works!

Or...





Every time!
