It's an arm/leg illusion.

Is that her leg? Or his wide open legs?

Is that his finger? Or...

Exactly, to induce tittering in the cheap seats...

Looks like things aren’t going great for 50 cent these days.

What's up with the increase in anti-liberal & right wing type trolly posts (not sure how best to describe them, but this is an example: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=103437202&postcount=1533) all of a sudden?

It seems to be Bootup's ambition in life to suck all the laughs out of the You Laugh, You Lose threads.

Is there no way to stop non-funny political posts - from both sides - going up on YLYL?

I fount that one to be funny, not funny-haha, but funny. Funny is such a funny word in itself isn't it?

It's not the funny peculiar thread though, is it. It's just starting to boil my piss at this stage. After hours is infested with all that imported from America political nonsense, I go on to this thread to see some funnies, not baiting pictures about liberals and the alt-right.

Here's the rub, and it's been mentioned before, Humour is subjective. I can't stand some of those "When you see it" pics, as, to me, there's usually nothing to see. Others find them great craic however. :rolleyes:

Are you telling me someone's actually going to laugh at the Trump post?

Get the politics out of the thread. It's ruining the buzz of it…

Yes you will find people will laugh at anything! Where does it say that you can't post political stuff within this thread? :rolleyes:

It doesn't say it anywhere but do you seriously think Bootup's continual alt-right memes are adding anything to the thread?

Oh ... my mistake so but there has been leeway towards funny political posts which have not been question.

I don't pay much attention to them tbh but I get your frustration.

I was talking about YLYL not the cool pictures thread ... no mention of no politics in the OP of that thread?

Silly me. My haste to make a funny has resulted in an alt-funny (Which is not allowed due to it being alt-somethingorother):eek:

I took it to be either:
a) people are so thin-skinned these days, or
b) a play on those things you see going around that women were plumper in days on by.

Probably the first one, though.

I saw it as an old 4:3 CRT monitor vs 3 16:9 monitors in a kind of super wide setup.

The hair follicles get smaller in the wider picture implying your seeing more of the image. If it was thinner skin the hair follicles would be the same size.

Then again I could be over-thinking it.

This is the first thing that I thought when I saw it too.
I reasoned that I was overthinking it anyway

I hate the bad jokes that are supposed to be funny because they're plastered across a picture of a dog.

Get them out of the thread just for me please.

Do you understand the concept of humour being subjective?
If we go down the road of removing what is and isn't funny to every individual there will be nothing left.

Scroll on by or unfollow the thread. This site is not here to please just you.

We don't really want to start restricting what people post in the thread. Can I suggest instead that you use the ignore function

Add "user" to ignore list

It's appears the Simpsons mashups are making a come back - I don't get how they are funny but apparently some people like them.....and that's OK with me

degrassinoel

It's just a bad mspaint assembly of two random episodes of the episodes of the simpsons then? So there's literally nothing other than that to the picture?

Should that not be in the WTF thread then?

Hercule Poirot

I've never understood any of them, not a single one, but if someone finds it funny (and some people do...somehow) in it goes!

I believe he did. Sure it's all guess work till he confirms it himself.
