[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;39650454]For the same reason that commercial that was once funny becomes annoying after the billionth time seeing, and for the same reason why "Call Me Maybe" went from "medicore" to "most annoying thing on the planet."[/QUOTE] Every meme is like that to me. It makes no sense to me that memes even become memes at all, seriously, a joke isn't funny after the second time hearing it, let alone the fifty billionth.
I don't understand how I missed this meme completely, I've never even heard of the Harlem Shake before yesterday.
[QUOTE=Y'all.;39650539]because its everywhere. i mean, even cartoon network and nintendo did harlem shake videos. when silly memes like this get that popular it becomes hard to ignore.[/QUOTE] I dunno, I'm also having trouble finding them physically annoying other than repetitiveness. I mean if something is usually just ridiculously stupid I'm just like "okay."
Man these hipsters are butt hurt!
[QUOTE=danelo;39650599]Man these hipsters are butt hurt![/QUOTE] I dont care if that was a joke, that was dumb.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;39650400]4:26 "Harlem is actually really hardcore if you really think about it. There's a whole bunch of gangs and fights and everything, and that just looks like some silly stuff." Who in their right mind would be proud of gang violence?[/QUOTE] who said they were proud...? jesus lol [editline]20th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Manibogi;39650479]I'm not saying that's bad, the problem is when some people take it a bit too far.[/QUOTE] THEY'RE taking it too far?
[QUOTE=Mr.Cthrobot;39650443]Why do people hate this "[B]meme[/B]" so much?[/QUOTE] Bolded the answer for you. They get overposted and tiring quickly.
Oh man the edginess in this thread is giving me paper cuts.
[QUOTE=Tetsmega;39651093]Oh man the edginess in this thread is giving me paper cuts.[/QUOTE] that's funny because it seems to be full of dull idiots
I don't understand what the deal is here, I for one love the Harlem Shake. Can't get enough of the randomness, you guys are all just hating.
Dance is part of the Harlem culture, and the Harlem Shake is a large part of that. If someone sparks a series of videos that is taking a part of your culture, turning it into something it isn't and then misrepresenting it it's understandable that you'd be upset.
[QUOTE=danelo;39651163]I don't understand what the deal is here, I for one love the Harlem Shake. Can't get enough of the randomness, you guys are all just hating.[/QUOTE] I'm not trying to be mean here but after being here for almost three years I'm surprised you don't understand how Facepunch works yet.
Jesus Christ it's just a bunch of videos of people doing a goofy dance to some music. Holy shit the people in OP's video need to chill the fuck out.
[QUOTE=danelo;39651163]I don't understand what the deal is here, I for one love the Harlem Shake. Can't get enough of the randomness, you guys are all just hating.[/QUOTE] Dismissing people who don't like what you do and labeling them "haters" is pretty dumb. Oh, and you're going to some of the harlem shake threads here just to defend it with empty and asinine remarks haha that's fucking bad.
[QUOTE=Tetsmega;39651488]Dismissing people who don't like what you do and labeling them "haters" is pretty dumb.[/QUOTE] isn't that exactly what the people in the vid are doin tho
[QUOTE=danelo;39651163]I don't understand what the deal is here, I for one love the Harlem Shake. Can't get enough of the randomness, you guys are all just hating.[/QUOTE] I really can't tell if this post is in jest or in truth.
[QUOTE=Wolverunder;39651366]Jesus Christ it's just a bunch of videos of people doing a goofy dance to some music. Holy shit the people in OP's video need to chill the fuck out.[/QUOTE] I mean you can't really blame them for getting upset especially the older people. They grew up when the real Harlem shake became big and it was an actual dance that meant something to them probably. Compared to the new Harlem shake which just uses the name and has random goofy dancing. So of course they'll be somewhat insulted.
I found the real Harlem Shake. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2Xhsk4R.jpg[/IMG]
Oh my god the video had so much shutter roll, clearly filmed with an iPhone [editline]19th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Manibogi;39650292]For those wondering, here's a 2011 video explaining the actual harlem shake: [video=youtube;4_cO0Y6jJoA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_cO0Y6jJoA[/video][/QUOTE] And here's a video explaining how those 30 second harlem shake videos are done, not that hard to figure out though. [video=youtube;VRZIkd4rQhM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRZIkd4rQhM[/video]
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;39650400]4:26 "Harlem is actually really hardcore if you really think about it. There's a whole bunch of gangs and fights and everything, and that just looks like some silly stuff." Who in their right mind would be proud of gang violence?[/QUOTE] it isn't that they are necessarily proud of that aspect, they are offended that other people are taking the name of their home and construing it as something that it isn't.
[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;39650062]"wow im so offended wtf disrespectful" shut up[/QUOTE] let my try and explain things from my perspective. my name is bernie. remember when "do it like bernie" reached it's peak? i hated my name during that entire time because everyone expected me to know how to "bernie". and on top of that, it's just another internet dance trend that's going to get left behind by the next month or so. there's no innovation among this.
I bet FilthyFrank heavily regrets doing this.
[QUOTE=16bit;39652418]I bet FilthyFrank heavily regrets doing this.[/QUOTE] He does. [quote]“And then I tried to just make it the most stand-out, flashy track that would get anyone’s attention.” Meanwhile, the man most responsible for all the euphoria seems to be having second thoughts. “I’m thinking of just deleting the Harlem shake video,” Filthy Frank tweeted Sunday. “It’s just so pointless and attracts useless people.”[/quote]
why do people take silly people doing a silly dance to a silly song so seriously? that's like, as basic as viral videos/memes gets [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60og9gwKh1o[/media]
stop fighting over this the videos are dumb most of these people are right dancing is pretty much the biggest form of expression most people have, its hard to understand, your moves are what describe you, in this case (it being called the damn harlem shake) where you're from. the people in the video dont understand they're just dumb jokes, but its because fights and shit actually break out over moves, they take it as disrespect. image is everything i know it sounds stupid but its the truth, i understand it, but i don't care about it
