need some help with forums history/culture. what the heck do people use this one for :gary:

It's from Star Citizen, where Gary Oldman plays one of the characters. It's ripped from his in-development model in kind of a facial T-pose. Relevant front page article: https://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop-phriday/oldman-star-citizen/

It can be used for all things Star Citizen, all things Gary Oldman, to indicate hype or desire for something (often implied to be misguided), or just as a reply to something that visually resembles that facial expression.

E: Oh, and another important keyword for this smiley is parp, which is an onomatopoeia for airhorn noises.

:chaostrump: animated, face, gems, diamonds, emeralds halo, rainbow, colors, sonic
Maybe also add politics for political-adjacent smileys?

Midjack posted:

:chef: static, face, yellow, knife, cook, white hat, toque
101 should be added for smileys like that. Both :chef: and :catholic: don't come up on search for 101 right now. E: :byoscience: is another one.

Midjack posted:

:coal: static, black, pointed, pointy, nose, typo, sunglasses
Definitely should also have cool.

:goku: orange goku pants animated

This one is from an ill-fated attempt of the user Spoonful of Bromide to promote their awful webcomic and hire an artist for it. Don't remember the author of the original Goku pants post, unfortunately, but they submitted that crudely drawn picture as an application for the artist job, essentially, which caused OP to melt down.

It’s a wh40k gbs megathread injoke.
It depicts a "scrunt", a gross and inept creature

Suggested additional keywords: scrunt, heck, garbage, slam sector

I didn't know there was more to it. Thanks.

:peace: static, orange, pufferfish (NOTE: needs specifics, word is too common)

This is from the food and video games 'peace thread' (now in CCCC) where some of (ex-)FYAD posters and other people chat. It's based on the egg-themed av of the poster pog boyfriend, where the anthropomorphic yolk was replaced with a yellow pufferfish due to their visual similarity. Later pog boyfriend got bought the edited image as an av.

The original av in question.

:riot: static, technical, games, psyduck, moba (NOTE: I may be way off on this one)

The character is Jax from the MOBA game League of Legends (LoL for short).

:pants: animated, banner, lookin like a fool, coal, cool, politics, political cartoons (NOTE: needs specifics, word is too common)

It's the donkey from the Democratic party's emblem with his pants on the ground. The pants are 'health reform mess'. The cartoon was created by Mike Luckovich. It's a very hacky political cartoon, to say the least.
