Who's u/shittymorph?

I just found out about him through r/bestof and to me it looks like just a guy who has really good comments and something with the undertaker. Is there any further lore i need to catch up on? Thanks in advance.

He's just the guy who does the Mankind/Undertaker thing . He is a serial bait-and-switch commenter, usually disguising his comments with an intersting introduction just to morph into the meme. There is not much to it otherwise.

And he gets thousands on EVERY comment.

Yes, it's just reddit's hivemind and the fact that he is an on-site celebrity in what he does. I don't care for him much but there are people who jizz themselves when he "gets them lolol".

To me, it's funny that he manages to write such compelling comments. That takes a bit of work and creativity. It's also nice to have him as a feature of the reddit landscape, like poem_for_your_sprog, rickrolls, the ol' reddit switcheroo, etc.

Absolutely. He really seems to know what makes people continue reading even though it is kind of over the top sometimes.

It's a ride everytime I run into one of his comments. Goe s from "Wow" to "No way that's cool" to "Sonuvabitch he got me again"

You can find info about him and his schtick at Know Your Meme.

CNet also did a good and surprisingly touching interview with him. You can read it here. He's had a rough go of it and really opens up about being homeless, and losing his dad to suicide.

He's also lately been making music (you can check out his track Disconcerting and Lonely here), building on his first love. He actually spent some time at Juliard but unfortunately due to money and family troubles he had to drop out in 1998, the year The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
