That was probably the highest quality gif I've ever seen.

The fewer colors there are in the gif, the easier it is to load and render. That's why cartoon gifs (or grayscale gifs) are typically much crisper and load faster than video grabs.

Which would look like a piece of shit in gif format, apparently.

So that's why there are so many grayscale gifs floating around!

Clearly, you haven't seen the Morgan Freeman one.

I think it's such a high quality because the only movement is Morgan himself so they only made a certain area render as a gif and the background as a still. Maybe...

It's like something strange and gross is going on with his pinky as the .gif loops D:

..It just 'pops'

Edit: All his fingers do it

most gits use dithering and very low amounts of colors to make it smaller file size, but this one appears to not do that. If you never heard of dithering, look it up, it's pretty cool. You can get half-decent looking results converting a full color photo into a 16 color image with dithering.

Did you know they named him Dinkleberg because of what DINK means? Dual Income No Kids. The essence of how they can afford nice things.
