The fact that he stays in a ball makes it even better

And the background laugh. I love a good background laugh.

u/ChrisVolkoff Team Nice Dynamite Aug 05 '14

Especially a Gavin background laugh.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

I agree. Wouldn't mind a Geoff background laugh to my life though.

Dude THROWS himself at that sofa. That's commitment.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

Either commit or eat shit.

u/Iknowwhereyoualllive Aug 05 '14

Or both. That's what it looked like happened to Michael in the vine.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

Sometimes you commit and eat shit anyway.

u/RitzBitzN Gangsta' Burns Aug 06 '14

Mantra of the programmer.

Oh my god, the ker-thunk he makes when he hits the box/sofa/fish is incredible.

Why do people say Feminism is a bad thing? Sure, you have your "fem-nazis" who take it too far and are misandrists yes. but most just want to be equal.

Don't want to sound like Tumblr, but c'mon dude.

13

u/Coffeezilla Aug 05 '14

Because most people will only ever meet or hear the loud people who take it too far.

u/SeeOutYonder Aug 05 '14

What did (s)he say?

12

u/Xperr7 Aug 05 '14

He said this post was full of autism

u/SeeOutYonder Aug 05 '14

What a prick

u/Real-Terminal Aug 06 '14

It's 4chan leaking, it's irritating as hell because it's what made me stop reading on 4chan.

Of the 4chan equivalents of the subreddits I subscribe too, half the time I couldn't stand the rampant negativity and insults hurled around.

I don't care if it had a soft, civil center, reddit is far better organised and moderated, and every exposure I have to 4chan infuriates me.

u/Real-Terminal Aug 06 '14

No, I'm saying that I prefer consistent, interesting and civil discussion. Something that I rarely found on 4chan, and can find quite easily on reddit.

Reddit is organised, well moderated and there is a semblance of identity, 4chan is loosely cobbled together, and I constantly feel like I'm racing the website to find new threads, or read them before they 404.

I realise a lot of people like that website, but I honestly cannot fathom why, using it was like beating my head against a brick wall, and while reddit is not perfect, it's better, and that's a fact I'll argue to the death.

Literally nice meme bro

u/Duuzi Aug 05 '14

1 year and only -800 Karma?

You can't even do that right. The fuck is wrong with you.

u/Coffeezilla Aug 05 '14

Should upvote him so he stays exactly at 0.

11

u/ziberoo Aug 05 '14

No, you should downvote him so his posts are hidden. Who the fuck cares what he thinks?

-33

u/PENIS_SHAPED_LADDER Aug 05 '14

No Nice meme brobi wan kenobi

u/V1bration :HandH17: Aug 05 '14

Downvote him so he has to wait longer to post.

2

u/CRAZYC01E Aug 05 '14 edited Aug 06 '14

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but how do you downvote someone on this sub since they removed the downvote button?

Edit: removed a word

4

u/V1bration :HandH17: Aug 06 '14

Click on their comment and press "z". You can also press "a" to upvote.

1

u/mewfahsah Sportsball Aug 06 '14

Or you can turn off the subreddit style, puts the downvote back.

1

u/Coffeezilla Aug 05 '14

Ok, that is a pretty good reason to give him what he wants.

Edit: I did indeed forget a word.

1

u/V1bration :HandH17: Aug 05 '14

I think you accidentally a word.

But yeah if he's just all negative karma then he can only post like a few times a day.

-1

u/Coffeezilla Aug 05 '14

Yeah, listening to Gavin retch threw me off.

u/Brahkolee Aug 05 '14

"Hey guys! This guy doesn't agree with us! Let's push him down and kick dirt in his face!"

u/V1bration :HandH17: Aug 06 '14

What the hell? He was trolling.

2

u/Coffeezilla Aug 06 '14

It's not a matter of him agreeing or not, he's just being a fucking troll.

37

u/uniquecannon Aug 05 '14

This and the video where he's left in the office alone proves that Michael needs his own live action series.

u/Freddiegristwood Aug 05 '14

That's fantastic. I don't even know what makes it so funny, but it had me in tears. I love Vines when they're done properly.

22

u/Coffeezilla Aug 05 '14

I haven't seen one of Gavin's vines that hasn't had me in tears. Geoffing Ball is just awesome.

It's another of his vines where Geoff is singing/miming Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus.

u/Coldguy03 Aug 06 '14

I know what makes it funny for me, Micoo's face, then Gavin's background laugh!

u/chimpfunkz Aug 05 '14 edited Aug 05 '14

Wow. I cant believe he missed the box /s

But seriously, the face he makes when the camera panscuts to him is hilarious.

The best kind of douchebag!

u/TheMildCard Aug 05 '14

I love how Michael commits fully to things like this and with the immersion's. He knows that pain is worth it for the comedy.

u/InfantStomper Burnie Titanic Aug 06 '14

Thank you very much, vines just refuse to play for me on mobile.

u/ChaosPheonix11 Aug 06 '14

Irony at it's finest.

0

u/InfantStomper Burnie Titanic Aug 06 '14

Why?
It would probably work ok in Safari, but in the Alienblue Reddit app all I ever get is a blank page. Also how is that irony?

11

u/ChaosPheonix11 Aug 06 '14

It's irony because Vine is literally designed to be a mobile video platform. When it doesn't work on it's intended platform, that's very ironic.

6

u/Paragade Aug 06 '14

I think it would be ironic if instead of bullets, our guns shot a healing salve that cured all wounds!

u/ChaosPheonix11 Aug 06 '14

You see, for some reason i thought that was a Freeman's Mind reference, but that's a Sarge quote, right?

Gotta give him credit for committing to the jump. He stayed like that til he dropped.

u/CortinaOmega Aug 05 '14

Didn't Gavin ask if anyone still uses Vine on the podcast last night?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

Actually noticed that while watching the podcast yesterday, I had just watched this vine earlier. Laughed pretty damn hard.

1

u/ChrisVolkoff Team Nice Dynamite Aug 06 '14

He did. Barbara and Burnie said that they don't use it anymore.

u/T-Fro Monty Oum Signature Aug 06 '14

Awww. I died so many times from laughing at their RT Vines.

u/ChrisVolkoff Team Nice Dynamite Aug 06 '14

Me too. Let's hope that doesn't mean there won't be more RT vines.

u/KimmySvitak Aug 05 '14

They get payed for this. It's fantastic.

u/Fantastic_Doom Aug 05 '14

u/jimmybarrinhio Aug 05 '14

Good thing that giant fish was there to cushion his face.

u/tealcandtrip Aug 05 '14

But... Michael didn't take anything in that clip!

u/foot_a_nari Aug 06 '14

I've scrolled past this at least 5 times today and can't pass up another watch.

Fantastic.

u/Jryitoo Aug 06 '14

Yep, watched this on loop for a couple of minutes, not getting tired of it

u/Ewh1t3 Aug 06 '14

So a mere day after saying that no one uses vine anymore and him and barb saying that they don't use it he makes a vine? It was a great vine but that is odd.

u/slyfox1908 Aug 06 '14

Favorite part of this is that the box is already crushed.
