Why do people have to make shit up in these memes? Is what really happens in real life just not enough for people? It’s alway got to be some dumb or cute trope to fluff it up.

Dude is fit as fuck. Let that be what it is. He doesn’t need to be a grandpa in the story if he isn’t one, and clearly no one offered him a seat in an empty train.

The original image os from Rio de Janeiro's 2016 Olympics when the metro line to the west zone was inaugurated and only tourists can used it.

I'll have you know that was my grandfather and he will be missed dearly.

he lost his grip after that last picture and in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

I don’t think anyone here is offended.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can be offended if it makes someone feel better.

Well, I’ve never! The audacity of some people!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

This is OUTRAGEOUS! I am shocked and appalled.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I came here just for the offense

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

God I don't miss that novelty act

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Actual comedians are out there grinding on the daily, going to clubs and bombing, thinking about their act a million times a day, tryna work out timing and intonation and how best to fit the punchline in the sentence structure, how to reduce filler, all this weird shit that has never once crossed your mind because why would it, you're not a comedian. And that's a shit joke, because it's not ingrained in you (or OP) how to make a good joke. Nobody's getting offended here, it just wasn't funny - or idk, maybe you're projecting and you got offended when people weren't laughing at a poorly made meme, so you responded with your own poorly made meme?

Let's face it, this entire thread has not illicited even a smile, let alone laughs. Memes are great for scrolling, but let's not confuse them with jokes.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you sound like Dane Cook after an hour of..well...being Dane Cook.

you can't gatekeep humor. I can't fucking stand pretentious self-centered pricks like yourself.

humor isn't here for YOU, it's not here for ME. humor is here for them, the people who need it most. the ones who hate the day, you, themselves. the ones consuming the humor, even the ones telling the humor. IMO you're a humorless prick, and that's the only reason why your probably so insufferable be around.

I'm going to give you the best advice you'll ever hear, so listen up.

if you don't like the jokes I'm tellin, then get the fuck out! you paid nothing to be here. your tickets were free, as in feel free to fuckin leave.

Humor? Your idea of a joke is adding text to a photo. You're not funny, your jokes stink, you have two left hands, nobody read your self-righteous rant.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

here, no text.

you big fucking baby

nobody read your self-righteous rant.

stop, you're somebody to somebody.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why do some people get so upset about something made up for the sake of humor? Not everything has to be true to life, dude.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Not upset. How about this… You don’t get to tell others what they are or are not, cool?

And try reading my original comment and this time, try and get the context. It might help a bit.

So to you- I sound mad because I’m claiming that I’m not mad…

You said “bro” which to me, makes you sound ignorant. So if we’re both correct…. I’d rather be the one that is mad.

[–] Ookami38 0 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm ignorant of a great many things, bro. We all get mad. Just own it, bro.

Also, if you wanna be a pseudo intellectual at least spell "do" right.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

I’m laughing my ass off at how seeming impossible it is to convince an internet rando that I know better than they do when it comes to my emotional state.

Like. I get that you’re a troll- bRo… but man… I’ve seen better trolls on desks in HR offices.

DO better. Then be better.

Side note- I never was trying to say the word “do.” Maybe learn how to read.

I said TO you, as in- from YOUR perspective.

[–] Ookami38 0 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Fair regarding to.

The reason you appear mad is because you keep replying, so vehemently adamant that you're not even the slightest bit upset, and yet you're spending so much energy to deny it. Thou dost protest too much.

Keep being mad bro

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Fucking hilarious!

So let me get this straight so I understand the new rules of Internet interaction.

I say a thing. Someone gets to tell me I’m mad. And the only way to say that I’m not mad is to not respond. But if I do respond, new people who have nothing to do with the discussion (trolls)… get to tell me that I’m mad. But I can’t ever indicate that I’m not. So in essence, others know more about me than I do. Nice built-in automatic win button you got there... Bro!

Holy shit this has got to be the dumbest thing I think I’ve heard in a long time! Seriously…. Did I stumble into r/teenagers?

So now- since you’re responding to me, by your rules, I get to claim that you’re upset now. U mad bro? Why u mad? Awww bro… cheer up bro! If you stop responding. You’ll not be mad. Just don’t respond to be happy!

Bro.

Oh and it’s “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

Pseudo intellectual indeed.

[–] Ookami38 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

No rules, mate. That'd be silly.

But yes, generally people only so staunchly defend a position such as "I'm not mad" when they have some reason to portray themselves as not mad. Maybe ego, thinking they're above it, or they actually are mad and feel silly getting mad over some Internet BS.

If you're not mad, why not walk away? What do you gain by staying here? Day 1 of the Internet, don't feed the troll.

For what it's worth, my motivation here: this is HILARIOUS bro.

Also, it was paraphrasing. If it was supposed to be a direct word for word quote, I'd have used quotation marks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

k… you can go away now. lol.

(The “lol” is there to emphasize the calm and humorous disposition of my emotional state that it may please the angry edgelord)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You sound pretty butthurt bro.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Yep. I get that now. New rules of the internet. Random kids get to hijack your conversion and tell you how you feel about things just because you respond to trolls.

Like I’m doing now.

Go on and tell me how much more angry I am.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The tone here and your original comment says otherwise, but whatever. Maybe perturbed is a better word.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or some unbelievable shit happens and you just don't believe Anything, not saying it's likely but you're coming in with the idea of yes I am absolutely right on this and nobody can tell me otherwise

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So you’re telling me that you believe that a man was offered a seat on a completely empty train…

You ACTUALLY believe that?

Know that it’s safe to just… not believe everything you see. Just as safe and probably more so than believing everthing.

Don’t believe me?

So… ’m a prince that lives in Africa and I need you to send me money to help me out of a tight situation here. Do so, and I will reward you ten times over!

[–] wedeworps 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I personally do not believe that it happened, but I also do not believe that it didn't happen. I simply have a lack of belief

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong 2 points 20 hours ago

Aye. Whether or not it happened is completely irrelevant to the meme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where do you get that the train is completely empty? Look in the reflection, every seat is taken and people are standing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There's empty seats right behind the dude lol
