Threads full of animated GIFS

[FindingNamo]

Remind me of the giant sparkly unicorn animated signature files that filled up MySpace before it was mybracketspace where 4 inches of screen space was taken up to say "thanks for the add" or "thanks for the ad." They always crashed my computer whenever I looked at MySpace and consequently I never joined.

So in conclusion, that is what I am reminded of.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I honestly just thought of the perfect gif from Friends in response, but I can't find it.

[FindingNamo]

Now THAT'S funny. Get me something from The Comeback and it'd probably be my catnip.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

It was going to be of Rachel saying to Chandler, under the Christmas tree, "That's a good story, Grandpa."

All in jest, of course. I feel in some threads we'd been using gifs forever, especially in the Community thread, but the board as a whole seems to have collectively discovered them recently. I can get how they'd be annoying (and the MySpace comparison is hilariously apt) but sometimes a good one in response to something really makes me laugh.

I did find that Friends zinger on YouTube!

The One With The Routine

[FindingNamo]

The description of the grandpa one made me laugh.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I guess that's what I think of the gifs as, just little zingers to make others laugh. And girl, when I learned how to MAKE them! Those are usually little zingers to make ME laugh.

[FindingNamo]

I wonder if anybody has ever made any of any of the oeuvre of auteur Joe Gage?

[Jordan Catalano]

I think in this thread, instead of using gifs, we should just describe them.

(Honey Boo Boo's Mom laughing and saying "Fat is fabulous")

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I would have found a gif that combined fat, fabulous and Joe Gage.

[CJ N2N]

DESCRIBE them?

(Sassy, African American woman shaking her head and saying "Ain't nobody got time for that!")

[Jungle Red]

OH HELL NO!

[Jordan Catalano]

(Lindsay Lohan vomiting on the street with a fan shouting "Oh Hell No!")

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Tara Thornton saying "Aw, hell nah!"

[FindingNamo]

A little baby with chubby thighs says, "Rooood!"

[Jordan Catalano]

(Dame Judi Dench emerging from between Janeane Garofalo's thighs and wiping her face)

[SNAFU]

Guy shooting a bottle rocket from butt has a firey crash in a cascading display of sparks.

[clever name]

Which leads me to post The Gangnam Style guy screaming at the girl's butt.

Re: Joe Gage gifs.

I believe the website gay-gifs.com has a Daily Joe Gage Gif

[FindingNamo]

Gay Gif Givers is one sex trend I can get behind.

(Antoine Dodson says "Run and tell that, homeboy" in slow motion.)

[CJ N2N]

"... one sex trend I can get behind."
Is that funny to any one else? Or is my adolescent mind getting in the way of things again?

[tazber]

If you're referring to the double entendre, CJ, I believe that was intentional.
