We just got hosed by a novelty account.

I kid because I love.
206
This thread isn't meta enough, could you please explain your own joke?
91
I think he just did.
39
I still don't get it.

We love you too. Here have the vuvuzela of victory BBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ (As a South African I am culturally obliged to show my affection this way)

"Reddit now sucks because it's become a bunch of memes" is now itself a meme.
264
not only that, but this was submited by a meme novelty account.
123
Yo Dawg... it's memes all the way down.
45
Is a novelty account still a novelty account when it has been a member of the community for longer than you have?
And yes, this applies to me too. I don't consider JokeExplainer a novelty account.
21
i consider an account a novelty account if the majority of their posts reference their username, it doesnt really have much bearing on how long they've been doing it for.
and what does my or your membership have to do with it? if i made a new account right now that would make all novelty accounts not novelty accounts anymore? i must have super powers.
50
Oh man! I didn't get what 36" duct tape strips had to do with this thread until I read your username. Great novely account!
Edit: I'm an idiot that doesn't proofread.
6
to be fair, that would be one really lame superpower.
2
I'm thinking more that someone who's been a part of the community for so long, with a list of replies like his, is really not so much 'novelty' any longer. To have 'novelty' it must possess of the quality of being new.
0
CaptainObvious, I've missed you.
1
I hate the reverence redditors show to reddit, I really do. But this needs to be said: JokeExplainer created a novelty account before novelty account was even a reddit vocabulary word. He was one of the first novelty accounts that was good. He's up there with 911_was_an_inside_job.
Haven't you even seen a comment that says something to the effect of
where's JokeExplainer when you need him?
JokeExplainer is his own reddit meme.
12
i never once implied it was a bad thing. it's not like im smear campaigning here, i just thought it was funny since the last one on his screen shot made fun of "worn out memes and novelty accounts."
3
And what a fun-sucking meme it is.
2
what? there are always people who are genuinely glad to have the joke explained
2
It has come full circle...
1
In fairness I think it's just a novelty account, not a meme novelty account... unless that just means he's famous
1
Hating on novelty accounts is mean. I think I'll go now... Sorry we couldn't play pirates.
1
"X is now a meme" is now a meme.
WHAT HAVE I DONE
25
Nice try, Millhouse.
23
you just yodawged that shit...
1
I was gonna say, he forgot the "Why Reddit is worse than it used to be" post...
6
or "this is why we cant have nice things" post
5
I know I shouldn't, but I love it whenever someone says this is why we can't have nice things.
1
Or "is this what reddit has become?"
1
I believe that is this post. also something something M Night Shamalan
1
""Reddit now sucks because it's become a bunch of memes" is now itself a meme" is now itself a meme.

Yo dawg i herd you like memes, so i put memes in your memes and explained it using a meme
3
this is the only acceptable meme
2
Yeah...and I'll even take rickrolling (heh, or veiled anti-semtism) over this meme any day of the week..

BZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
How'd you like them apples?
2
Saw this one at 7:12 AM. Now to make it another 16.5 hours or so without another...
2
This post definitely begs the question. I guess we're creatures of habit. And puns, semantic arguments, and tired memes apparently.
14
That phrase doesn't mean what you think it means.
37
It does now. I heard a journalist on BBC Radio 4 use it 'incorrectly', so I'm concluding that its meaning has changed.
30
I could care less.
25
Its meaning is in the process of changing. Since people rarely use it to point out when someone is actually begging the question, it's only used by people who mean "to raise the question", and it either means (to the people who hear it) "to raise the question" or "I say things when I don't know what they mean."
9
All hail the BBC!
3
pretty sure greyskullsoulsmasher was baiting the pedants here.
3
And DJPho3nix and the 51 people who upvoted him bit hard.
1
Oh god not this again. How about you try researching where that phrase came from, realize that we clumsily translated it from a Latin phrase that itself made little sense and recognize that the English phrase makes much more sense when read literally. Its changing for a reason.
2
I always thought it to be a colloquial verson of res ipsa loquitur. "The thing speaks for itself". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Res_ipsa_loquitur
1
This is one of those things we were taught in school. Like putting two spaces after a period despite using a computer and a non-monospaced font.
I wish I never read this. Then again, it stopped me from using the phrase, and now "could care less" has a friend to hang out with.
1
I saw Steven Pinker discuss the purpose and uses of language today on a TED talk. This seems prescient. Despite Pinker's absurd hair and the fact that he must be terribly boring at parties, he is one person with an informed opinion about language.
And that is just the most ridiculous website I've ever seen. I think philosophers and logicians have more precise ways to explain exactly what they are discussion then an apparently outdated and changing phrase that is ambiguously defined at best these days.
1
He got ya.
1
I'm busy fisting. Your argument is invalid.
1
Thank you.
-1
Brilliant, thanks for that. I think wikipedia explains it a bit better than that link though.
-2
I've undertaken a bit of a personal crusade to correct people who use the phrase incorrectly. Sometimes I link to the site I used this time, and others I use the wikipedia entry.
-2
http://bit.ly/8XG1wT - LMFAO!!!
-2
Or....maybe...people just bitch and whine when the "reddit" experience is primarily what YOU make of it?
Like...the ol' "stop-fucking-bitching-you-fucking-crybabies-god-I-hate-you-why-can't-you-just-enjoy-nice-free-things-or-make-better-things-oh-wait-I-guess-it's-easier-to-sit-and-bitch-well-fuck-you-I-like-this-site" argument goes...
ahem.
-4
Cause we're still better than digg, right? /s
11
I've unsubscribed from all of those subs in the link (or in general didn't subscribe to r/zachanner), so my homepage at least has some form of "dignity".
8
I didn't subscribe to zach whatever either, but I still see his posts all over. I'm glad reddit wants to help someone with a disability realize his dream. But that's not why I come to reddit.
11
then click the down arrow. Flying Spaghetti Monster bless democracy!

As we all know, most people are idiots. Once a population of intellectuals becomes saturated with them, Democracy fails. Case in point - America.
It is not my intention to be pretentious, only honest.

Actually after I posted this I just went through and got rid of all my subreddits, then went through the list and signed up to ones that weren't filled with durr hurr.

I only found this submission by visiting r/all, so I must be fortunate! Get rid of all of the high population subreddits that you don't absolutely love.

Sadly, the alternative is Digg. Because of the same things this snapshot post is complaining about, I logged into Digg today for the first time in two years. There are no Keanu photos, no Zach Anner crap... just links to cool articles and videos.
What pushed me over the line was the box ad for Zach Anner. I've finally had enough of the bullshit here, at least for now. I'm actually enjoying being on Digg... I can hardly believe I just said that, but look at Reddit lately!

GODLIKE!!!
3
Maybe it's my subreddits, but I completely missed the Keanu craze. What happened?
2
It's too long to accurately summarize, but basically there was this picture of Keanu sitting on a bench, looking melancholy, and the whole blagoblag decided to obsess over it, fueled by their sudden realization that Keanu is a decent human being.
5
They should have sent a poet!
2
You forgot Keanu Reeves, Back to the Future, and Futurama. It's seriously getting hard to keep putting off work when Reddit keeps upvoting the same tired shit.
92
The one that I actually intended to include but forgot to 'shop in was "Does anyone else inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide?" (submitted to askreddit and not dae, of course) or "Who else likes things that are good and hates things that are bad?"
I guess I can save those for the Fall edition.
83
What about the "Men of Reddit: Do you like boobs?" and accompanying "Women of Reddit: Why won't all of you have sex with me all the time?"
49
"Women of Reddit: Why won't all of you have sex with me all the time? Is it because I'm so nice?"
FTFY
55
I think the "I'm too nice for women to sleep with me" thing has been lampshaded by reddit enough that most people don't bother putting it out there.
2
"Am I the only one who likes drinking beverages and eating food?"
"BP, Oprah, and Sarah Palin team up to cause an end to net neutrality. Please upvote!"
Looking forward to the fall edition ;)
20
My reference to an upcoming fall edition was intended to be facetious.
22
whoosh I know, that's what the little winky-guy was trying to convey.

Sorry pal, yer on the hook now for a quarterly edition.

You also forgot the r/atheism "Lol, hilarious exchange between Richard Dawkins and Niel DeGrasse Tyson!! Bet you've never seen this clip before!"
1
Futurama is in the reddit logo. He's got that one covered.
39
He forgot three of the most important ones. Keanu, Back to the future, and futurama will fade (also, I just combined those three in my head for an AWESOME movie).
What's missing are the "Why is reddit so slow?", "Stop posting about this stuff that is eating my boring front page", and "Reddit sucks now, because of all the stupid shit you people post. Look at how I do Reddit, because I'm better than you"
-3
"Why is reddit so slow?",
I think they've mostly fixed that..
"Stop posting about this stuff that is eating my boring front page",
"Reddit sucks now, because of all the stupid shit you people post. Look at how I do Reddit, because I'm better than you"
Maybe you missed the OP's link..?
3
And of course "Hey Reddit, does anyone else remember [really popular childhood toy/book/TV show/TV personality]?"
6
Ooh, lawn darts!
3
It's in my head!
1
Did you miss the "Nostalgia" post?
2
Keanu is SO two weeks ago. Like Zach Anner will be very, very soon. (Say, in two weeks.)
3
Whoa, good news everyone; where we're going, we don't need roads.
1
Seriously. Usually when I'm bored at work I go on Reddit. I've found myself just kind of sitting there staring or actually going back to work because everything on Reddit is retarded at the moment.
1
WHAT TIME IS THE SHOW TONIGHT?
1
Nah, he got the Futurama logo - that's good enough.
0
Needs more Zach Anner to really capture how irritatingly prevalent that nonsense has been
62
He's the Lady Gaga of Reddit. He's everywhere all the time, and there's no escaping him. But even though I heard Bad Romance so many times I kinda started liking it (I know, I know) I'm not conceding to this fucking kid. Get the fuck off my internets.
36
He's the Lady Gaga of Reddit.
Does that mean 95% of reddit is secretly attracted to Zach, too?
6
Or that about half of Reddit thinks Zach has a penis.

For some reason, my front page shows all the posts I've hidden, complete with "unhide" links.

hipsters have been liking gaga for awhile, so i think you are safe ;)
5
Hear the Grum remix of lady gaga! Now you can be hipster AND non-hipster at the same time!
1
Lady Gaga has talent (just like how most other dedicated musicians have talent even though they never make it), and her songs are catchy, but I still don't waste my time listening to it when there's so much better stuff that the record companies aren't shoving down everybody's throats. Do I have to turn in my anti-"anti-establishment hipster" hipster card now?
0
Turn off your TV, there's no Lady Gaga. Turn off reddit, there's no Zach Anner.
3
You're right about the latter. Lady Gaga is seriously everywhere though. It's hard to go anywhere public - grocery, gym, anywhere - without hearing her music sooner or later. She's all over the interwebs and the magazine covers too. Thank god she hasn't started acting...yet.

For one she's not here with me right now.

I thought Lady Gaga was the Lady Gaga of reddit?!

I've managed to avoid 100% of him. Yea downvote and hide!

Thank you JokeExplainer. I bet nothing changes though sad to say.
46
It's easy to effect change. Just downvote or hide everything that's same-old-stupid-shit. I find that after I've been away for a few hours due to sleep my front page is full of approx 80% crap. I then dutifully go through and downvote or hide as appropriate, I find that at this point there are usually 5 or so submissions left on my screen. I then hit refresh and go through the process again another few times. Usually within 3-4 refreshes and 35-40 downvotes/hides I have a front page which is actually worth looking at. Through the rest of the day I just do maintenance as I spastically hit refresh instead of doing real work.
31
Yep, that's my favorite part of Reddit. Laboriously manually filtering through content on the internet to find the interesting ... wait...
41
What you find interesting and what other individuals find interesting is not necessarily the same. This can be quickly seen by the number of upvotes these submissions obtain.
There's always the option to unsubscribe from most highly trafficed sub-reddits, subscribe to lesser-known subreddits, and/or make your own sub-reddit that is more directly relevant to your interests... whether be on a different topic or a more narrow one.
r/gamingnews can be taken as one example of a sub-reddit created to narrow down the topic of gaming to only certain information.
3
Yes, and either:
(a) Some stuff is objectively more informationally valuable, and most people prefer to ignore it;
(b) Most smart people prefer stuff that is subjectively more informationally valuable, and that stuff gets ignored by most people.
Either way, the Crowd is your enemy.
6
What you find interesting and what other individuals find interesting is not necessarily the same. This can be quickly seen by the number of upvotes these submissions obtain.
Usually there are approximately 2 people who like something for everything you dislike.
2
You should go over to Digg... You don't really have to filter through anything, all the content is hand picked especially for you by one or two power users, and a few ad agencies and corporate interests.
1
Wah wah wah....don't like...what everyone likes?
Then....downvote, hide it and re-arrange your front page reddits. You cock.
Oh, or is that just farrrr too much effort on this free site?
-1
Wow. Humor is not your strong suit, Buddha.
3
Reddit won't change, so you change your Reddit yourself.
i.e. unsubscribe from the bigger subreddits (politics, music, gaming) and subscribe to the smaller ones (libertarian, listentothis, pokemon). Notice the quality go up.
Although I really have no problem with Reddit right now. I like Keanu Reeves and Futurama on my Reddits. :)
2
This looks just like r/circlejerk
30
I really, honestly can't tell the difference between some bullshit self posts and circlejerk until I check what subreddit it's in.
I still come for the porn and to downvote memes, though.
18
You must admit that r/circlejerk has really gone to shit the past few years.
7
Why don't you complain about it in r/metacirclejerk?
4
The problem with r/circlejerk today is that the people who were mocked there at the beginning discovered the subreddit and themselves begun posting to it.
2
PROTIP: Everyone's front page is different depending on what subreddits one subscribes to.
Those people who have only the boring default subreddits subscribed to will be able to take similar 'snapshots' as above, while those subscribed to subreddits with topics they actually enjoy will not.
That is all.
29
True, the larger a subreddit (pics, wtf, askreddit) the more of the peanut gallery involved. There is both slapstick AND intelligent discourse to be had on here if you know where to look.
7
I don't know dude. I'm subscribed to a few smaller subs and while there is good stuff, they're still filled with crap you don't care about, junk that repeatedly gets posted, and an even smaller hivemind band of douches. Also, you can't escape certain people in those subreddits, and there's always at least one or ten you'll constantly disagree with.

I am sad to say I am tiring of reddit. Its used to be great but those days are gone now. It used to sift through all the crap and give me the random hard to find information I wanted but now everything has become continuous reposts, stupid pics and what used to barely qualify as reddit worthy material. It just panders now to the average joe. RIP Reddit 2005 - 2009
19
Sub-reddits. Learn to use them.
9
Wow you can't be serious pretending like you know reddit since 2005. People were saying it was dead years ago when 911wasaninsidejob left. They've been saying it was dead when we had the Sears thing. They've been saying its dead since we had that r/atheism fiasco. Reddit is fine, its actually marginally better than a couple of years ago, just stop upvoting the stupid memes and pun threads and unsubscribe from the useless subreddits.
edit: Oh and when comments were introduced. People were convinced reddit was dead that day.
8
I'll keep saying it: Reddit begun to spiral when comment karma was introduced.

I had sex with your mother, and I will now be rewarded with comment karma for making this fact public. This is how the system works.

In an unexpected and insightful turn, JokeExplainer explains the joke that is our souls.
17
No Atheism stories in the front page?
15
he's smart enough to unsubscribe from r/atheism
57
Not by the looks of his subscribed subreddits.
11
Wow, almost like...we could just unsubscribe from reddits we don't like...instead of constantly bitching about content..

Indeed, I often forget about the obsession with non-belief here until I read the comments on r/science posts

Nothing in r/atheism is any of these things.

It's that kind of smug douchebaggery that made me want to unsubscribe in the first place.
2
The hypocrite is strong in this one.
-2
I never see them on the front page because I don't believe that subreddit exists.
6
That was 2008. Even when logged out there are no atheism stories in the front page anymore. Kind of refreshing when I think back to how every other submission was a Dawkins or Hitchens quote.
If anything, we have pertinent topics about fundies doing something crazy that's making trouble for the rest of us but for the most part its nothing close to what we had not too long ago.
1
Except he's logged in.
2
I know that. I don't see your point or how that changes anything. He has it as a default subreddit just like a person who's logged out has it as a default subreddit. The point was that whatever configuration he has, the lack of atheism articles are not due to that but rather the default behavior. It wouldn't be funny to put mock atheist articles because its not really a problem.
1
I don't know if you know why this is so funny.
edit: guys, you're hurting my feelings with all these downvotes :( what'd I do?

I think I know someone who might be able to explain why...

It's funny because it's true.
Awww, I just made myself sad.
13
Everybody at Reddit likes to pretend that they're here for the science and programming articles, but the top 50 submissions are consistently pictures of cats, facebook conversations, 3 minute long gifs of people falling over, "DAE breathe?", and Apple-bashing.
Remember how last week everybody here loved Keanu Reeves, and the top 20 submissions were pictures of him and articles about how cool he is? Now everybody loves Zach, for whatever he did, and now the top 20 submissions are videos of him, for some reason.
This isn't a social news website.
12
Everybody at Reddit likes to pretend that they're here for the science and programming articles
Those people are the vocal minority.
The grand majority come here for "LULZ FUNNY PIX", upvote, and go back to facebook. I don't know how accurate the subscription counter is, but apparently the pics subreddit has more subscribers than reddit.com. That should say something.
7
Not everybody, thank you very much.

it's like you are reading my mind bruh

Reddit has become a joke and this picture explains it.

WHY THE HELL DO YOU JUST HAVE ONE TAB OPEN?
8
I loved the BZZZZzzzzZZZZzzz submitted by 'letsdrivethisjokeintotheground' XD
8
I was really disappointed that there wasn't a "letsdrivethisjokeintotheground" subreddit
...yet.
2
where the hell have you been? Do you know how many jokes we've been having to explain waiting around for you to show up?
I try to use this account to interpret jokes that some readers would actually benefit from having explained. It's actually pretty rare to come across a joke that a.) is difficult to understand, b.) that I actually understand well enough to explain, and c.) hasn't already been explained by someone else. I think the only reason I'm reddit famous is because people confuse me with joke-explainer.
Besides that, no one is really complaining that the novelty account users don't comment frequently enough.
Wow, so you're also JokeExplainerExplainer.
You're confusing him with joke-explainer-explainer
Trace busta busta busta!!
With a tear explainer-explainer-of-jokes slowly walks off into the sunset. I can even spot a piece of cloth that holds his valuables hanging from the end of a stick.

THE META - IT BURNS!
[deleted]
I'll die now.
No no no, you're thinking Joke-ExplainerExplainer.
Interpretations and incarnations of the Joker have taken two forms. The original and currently dominant image is of a fiendishly intelligent psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor. The other interpretation of the character, popular in the late 1940s through 1960s comic books as well as the 1960s television series, is that of an eccentric but harmless prankster and thief. Batman: The Animated Series blended these two aspects, although most interpretations tend to embrace one characterization or the other.
Poker is a game which people play with a normal set (or deck) of 52 cards. Poker is a gambling game which involves some luck, but also some skill. In poker, players make bets against each other depending on the value of their poker hand. Bets are usually made with plastic or ceramic discs called chips. Bets may also be made with real money, but chips are more often used because they are easier to handle and count. At the end of the game, players either swap their chips for money, or the chips are counted to determine the order of winners.
8 minutes. You're quick.
What? I don't understand...can somebody help me out here?
Yo dawg, I heard you liked explaining jokes...
At least he's impervious to the power of the brains.
I believe you're smart enough to explain most of the jokes that are flying over people's head. If you don't want to continue I'm sure you could find someone to take over one way or another.
Where is the complaint department exactly?

He's up to his old tricks again boys!
See, this one fails on point "b". I have no idea what you're talking about.
Hey you get bonus points for using Readability! I love that shit!

Well. There goes your no link karma record. Good to see you posting! =P
You are Karmanaut
I've tried, but I'm not very good.
You're one of the few quality novelty accounts. Stick around to let us know why these accounts exist, but don't overdo it.
You should explain the having a pregnant thing. I was trying to find the source before and couldn't.
I haven't used this account for a long time. I like to dream my presence has discouraged one recurring retarded joke. But you're right, I've never seen someone asking for novelty accounts.
That's not true in your case (or joke-explainer's case, whoever's the real deal.. we don't care)

But...But you complained about novelty accounts in that thing you just posted
Very meta.
Can you explain the joke behind your submission? I'd really love to laugh, but all I see is a cliched spoof.
I ask myself "Where the hell is JokeExplainer?" several times a day. I give him all the upvotes I have to give and still he's not around when we really need him.
Wasn't there also a JokeMisunderstander or something? I want that guy back too.
Everyone always leaves me. =(

I'm sorry, what was that last part?
Did you suffer a mild stroke in the middle of your comment?
Your edit made my day.
Have you ever had an accurate progress bar?
I totally agree. It's ridiculous to think that is 47%. It's probably more like should have have anyone else this, at least.

So many tragic whooooshes gone unexplained.
he needs to appoint an official task force to help him out.
The original is actually joke-explainer. JokeExplainer registered on 2008-04-16, whereas joke-explainer registered on 2008-01-21.
I still don't get it. Why would someone put so much effort into making this "joke" about a site they are annoyed with? Why not just find a new site or activity to fill your time?
JokeExplainer is a long-standing novelty account that goes around explaining jokes. I was referring to his absense, not this site. This site is my crack cocaine.
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. Absence too.
I was referring to JokeExplainer's actions, not yours. This site is my opium.
And is regularly explaining jokes. Not a new novelty account.
You dont' know who this guy is do you? He's an original man. Turchenko was just taking notice of his sometimes leave of absence.
I dunno, to me turchenko's comment made it seem as though he had never noticed jokeexplainer before just now... but -9 in 12 minutes, that's a record. I guess I'm the only one who saw the comment that way.
Nah, I read it that way too. Only difference is that the fear of downvotes has paralysed me into silence.

what I meant was that I hadn't seen him around in a while. I was fully aware of his existence beforehand.
Yeah, I see that now.
