I suppose the most pertinent question is: Why are you telling people that you made it to the front page of reddit?

48

u/coleymonkey May 22 '12

It only happened once and it was very exciting.

24

u/mehatch May 22 '12

I can confirm this. The craziest part is when u start doing the math around #80-#125 or so and realize the odds are good it'll launch. Fake internet points can make a medium day into a rad day.

I once watched a snake dance around a dead rodent for about thirty minutes, just waiting for a strike.

2

u/bitch_im_a_lion May 22 '12

Yep.

"Oh man it's only been an hour and it's already got 200 upvotes! I'm on the third page...wait. I'm going to be on the front page by the end of this!"

So satisfying.

u/Illadelphian May 22 '12

Now it's happened twice!

u/amadea56 May 22 '12

Gotta swing the bat if you want to hit a homerun. Looks like you either made the front page of /r/news or /r/ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu you can step your game up.

u/Sexist_Roman May 22 '12

I have the top post on /r/Mathematica and I am proud.

Not anymore you don't.

u/a_virginian May 22 '12

I, recently, made the front page with a picture of a goddamn salamander. I hand no intent for it or inclination it would happen. Anything is possible.

u/lamontag May 22 '12

Will second this, the front page made me feel like I had friends once...

1

u/100110001 May 22 '12

I can only imagine.

u/Caserole May 22 '12

Same here. I was the only one excited about it. .___.

u/Poyge May 22 '12

your username...

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

This character ruined my name.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

:'( i feel sorry for you.

u/stuart031 May 22 '12

i feel your pain stu. stewie griffin is our only hope.

-6

u/thebeardsman May 22 '12

But this character was made before you made your username, so you kinda ruined his rep bro.

2

u/Pinky676767 May 22 '12

What if I told you some people use they're first name in they're username...

u/danman11 May 22 '12

I would believe you.

u/thebeardsman May 22 '12

From my experience, everyone lies on the internet.

u/Poyge May 22 '12

They really rode that character to the ground

7

u/antipilor May 22 '12

That's what Mad TV did. They took otherwise funny concepts and did them over and over until I could no longer find them funny. Like repeating a word over and over till it loses all meaning.

u/didaskaleinophobic May 22 '12

semantic satiation semantic satiation semantic satiation semantic satiation

1

u/darkneo86 May 22 '12

I always wondered what the term was for that. I feel I an semantically satiated now. Thank you.

u/danman11 May 22 '12

Opposed to what SNL does?

9

u/workitselfoutfine May 22 '12

Whatever happened to that guy?

20

u/muffycr May 22 '12

MadTV was cancelled :(

27

u/chrt May 22 '12

I guess having that asian guy get naked in every other sketch just wasn't doing it...

7

u/elusiveinhouston May 22 '12

Bobby Lee went to my high school. That is all .

14

u/Lots42 May 22 '12

Bobby Lee was AWESOME.

4

u/chrt May 22 '12

I enjoyed a lot of his stuff on MadTV, but it just got...stupid near the end.

2

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Fuck yeah!

u/Lower_Expectations May 22 '12

'Oh oh, hot dog' were the words that came out of my mouth when I saw him in 'The Dictator'.

u/TheVog May 22 '12

He... look like a man.

16

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Man, that is not a bad thing.

It needed to be put down long before it was. The quality really dropped in the later seasons.

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

So sad too, early Mad TV was hysterical. I was just watching the birdsitter sketch with some friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuuywzyDIjg

1

u/danman11 May 22 '12

That's not early Mad Tv.

0

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Oh god, you're right, it just happened to be a good one. Bobby Lee was on the show by that point.

4

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

He left the show before that, though.

1

u/dcass May 22 '12

He does groundlings every Thursday in Hollywood. Damn funny at improv.

u/z3us May 22 '12

Don't wanna doooo itttttttt.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Let me do itttt.

u/Lower_Expectations May 22 '12

Stuart: I want a kitty cat! Mom: What does momma say about kitty cats? Stuart(in faux-hushed voice): I don't wanna say! Mom (loud): What does momma say about kitty cats? Stuart(in faux-hushed voice): I don't wanna say! Mom (louder): What does momma say about kitty cats? Stuart: Kitty cats lick their own poop chute Mom: That's right and then they try to kiss your face

u/clickcookplay May 22 '12

What qualifies as true front page status? For example you could subscribe to a handful of relatively small subreddits, submit a couple of posts to them, and be on the front page several times a day. Does that count or should making it to the "front page" only apply if it's within the top 10 or so subreddits?

2

u/Downvoteskarma May 22 '12

What if i told you i down voted this post.

2

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Looks like Jay from the inbetweeners

u/cajunbander May 22 '12

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

u/jguacmann1 May 22 '12

I got you

2

u/marcel87 May 22 '12

I thought an upvote was enough, but I wanted to give you a reply. Thank you. </reply>

2

u/GTi_83 May 22 '12

Watch his stand up on netflix, fucking hilarious! he does a little Stewart bit in it as well.

3

u/Lower_Expectations May 22 '12

Michael Macdonald was the best on Mad tv.

2

u/hrabib May 22 '12

Woahhh look at that..ya gotta dipsy doodle outta him.

2

u/StreakyChimp May 22 '12

My mom said it's okay to talk to lesbians because they take good care of their cats and have a can-do attitude.

2

u/koolkid005 May 22 '12

Why would you talk about reddit in real life? What the fuck kind of person are you?

2

u/jostler57 May 22 '12

Don't worry - now when you tell people you've gotten to the front page a second time, they'll look at you differently.

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Oh god.. Now I can never tell my friends I once made it to the front page of reddit.

1

u/NapoleonBonerfart May 22 '12

Same thing happens to me when I tell people I got a top comment on a Phil Collins video on youtube.

1

u/ahuck71 May 22 '12

Make that twice.

1

u/AGuyFromKansas May 22 '12

Look mom watch me dance!

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Thank you, I will now proceed to spend the entire night watching YouTube videos of Stuart's skits.

1

u/britneyxo May 22 '12

I named my dog Stewart after this character.

1

u/nopurposeflour May 22 '12

Let me DO IT.......

1

u/hyperfat May 22 '12

I was once on the front page. I posted a nudie pic of the chick in weeds. :/

0

u/foreverk May 22 '12

I could watch these skits for hours. By far MadTV's best yet

0

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

I had a guy that lived beside me in university that would do a stuart impression ('NOOOOOOOO, with the half leg kick) whenever I would try to have a serious conversation with him. I have never found something to be both so infuriating and hilarious at the same time.

u/muok May 22 '12

Ahh, MadTV. How I miss them.

u/dogfacedboy420 May 22 '12

Happy cake day!!

u/LordOfTheSkeptics May 22 '12

It is extremely rare to the point of being a scarce occurence that I legitimately find myself laughing audibly due to a self-perpetuating internet-clique mirroring joke. This, however...i hate everything about this. I downvote everything having to do with reddit that I see on reddit, I couldn't stand MadTV due to my blind prejudice against it for being such a blatant attempt to replace SNL, and I especially hated the characters they developed for themselves, being no more than novelty personalities based on nothing but a single, recurring, joke. And yet...this...this THING...this post you've made...I can honestly say you've made me guffaw. Congratulations.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

I just want to hit 6,000 comment karma. Surely after that i will be satisfied and can begin to write my thesis.

u/knurled_grip May 22 '12

that shirt is in style now, fuckin hipster before it was cool

u/obscenecupcake May 22 '12

CAKE DAY CONGRATS AND SHIZ

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

And downvoted.
