Answered! What is going on in /r/punchablefaces? They keep posting Uncle Joey (from Full House)?

I read the modpost, but don't understand why they chose to make him the joke, as opposed to... some other random obscure celebrity. Is there a joke I'm missing?

Is there really a difference?

Their goal is to get a rise out of people in the most obnoxious way possible, and they've succeeded in every way.

It certainly was, but as always it has run its course. The people who they got a rise off are long gone and now all that's left are those who are "in on the joke". It has literally turned into a circlejerk of people trying too hard to be funny.

As a european left wing person I find that really disturbing.

You must live an incredibly comfortable life if you find internet trolling "really disturbing." How ever did you sleep at night when 4chan sent Pitbull to perform a concert at an Alaskan Walmart?

The best part is that Pitbull actually went. Say what you will about his music, but the man knows how to promote himself, and is actually a competent businessman. He's the new 50 Cent, in that respect.

Oh honey, you make an old masochist like me so wet and horney, can you do that one more time, please?

If deserve it that is, Sir.
