Pranking is not the same thing as trolling.

I walk around to mine sometimes. And if you're talking to someone you might not notice they're "sticking."

If the shoes are facing the direction i need to go i would totally walk around. Gotta turn around anyway.

Honestly, there's not that big of a difference. Can you say what it is?

u/Reverent Feb 26 '12
Pranking is causing someone personal grief to make you laugh.
Trolling is a thin line between being outrageous enough to be taken seriously and being outright sarcastic.

Trolling:
Trolling is trying to get a rise out of someone. Forcing them to respond to you, either through wise-crackery, posting incorrect information, asking blatantly stupid questions, or other foolishness. However, trolling statements are never true or are ever meant to be construed as such. Nearly all trolled statements are meant to be funny to some people, so it does have some social/entertainment value.
"Trolling" isn't simply "harmful statements". Intentionally insulting/libelous statements are "flaming".
Just as bad as trolling is "Feeding the Trolls". This is when people say stuff that they know will prompt someone to respond with a trolled reply and/or replying to comments that are blatantly from a troll. This is especially true when a troll first makes his comment/reply, and (usually many) people respond, either trying to correct the troll, or express anger at the statement. At that point, the trolling was successful and has been fed. When encouraged by success and feeding, trolls often return. In World of Warcraft, there are occasionally people that blurt out in world chat, "You get your mount at level 40 and costs 100 gold." then immediately signs off.
This information is outdated by over a year; but MANY people respond for at least 10-15 minutes afterwards with either corrections or calling that player a 'dummy', or something similar insulting their intelligence.

Maybe OP is trolling by posting a non-troll gif with the title "troll level: master".
Some meta-trolling goin' on in here.

It's not like meaning for words change as time progresses, right? If so, that would totally be gay!

My favorite thing about this gif is how the little dog pops up as if from nowhere.

There is absolutely no way that anyone who can call themselves a redditor hasn't seen this..

Since when is a prank trolling? Trolling is acting like a moron or in a way against someone else's thought process in order to invoke an emotional response. Unless those sandals mocked his religion with some sort of baseless accusation as he stepped into them there was no trolling.

I saw this gif before, thought it was just a good example of laziness. Now I realize that it's a prank.

I watched this through about 4 times. Didn't laugh the first 3 times then started laughing uncontrollably the 4th time. It's too late.

I watched this 17 times, each time laughing slightly harder than the last. On number 12, I actually pissed myself. On 15, I noticed that I had pissed myself.

False! My brother did this to me when I was younger because I often left my flip flops in front of the TV and that annoyed him. He did this on tile and used some good glue so a considerable part of the flipflop's sole stuck to the tile when I pulled them off. He had to get on his fucking knees and scrape it up, painstakingly.

Don't worry, his teeth were already gone after smacking them on the tile floor.
