It is seriously uncanny how much Office Clark looks like DocEvil, they really nailed the zeitgeist with that casting.



Reminds me of the old meme of goons swearing that celebrities were secret goons because they used phrases like "comedy gold" or referenced current events that the forums had also been discussing earlier in the day, The Daily Show especially had some people that were genuine truthers about a person in the writer's room being a goon.

I don't follow goon history much but I vaguely remembered hearing a goon got an acting roll in a major motion picture and when I saw Hot Tub Time Machine a few years ago I 100% thought it was actually DocEvil in the movie. Like I thought it was actually him until a few months ago.

(Turns out the goon movie was called Project X)

there is some evidence that q of qanon fame came from these forums, so you're not far off

and even if that isn't true it's an undeniable fact that 4chan came from here, and the radicalization which happened on that platform could've easily affected the race. Not sure if that's "proof" per se but it's good enough for me

some obscure reference
I remember back in the day reading about a WoW Addon that goons used to auto respond to trigger words in general chat like curse words so that everytime a pubbie said 'drat' or something, then everyone in the guild would automatically respond with some variation of 'Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" and since it came from all seperate accounts it wasn't 'technically' spamming the chat.

I hope someone who participated could elaborate further.

it wasn't the funniest one, but the meta-joke where Abe (correctly) complained about the unfunny non-g0m burns, so g0m just took one day to encourage everybody else to burn Abe on his behalf stuck with me

Oh man I remember this. After reading about the add-on on I tried WoW for a few days and used it and the whole chat of the zone would instantly break down into frothing rage and people screaming at others to ignore the auto-replies.

I'm 90% sure it was this add-on
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info8283-Reportedbyweasel.html

But I know the version I used was more elaborate. it had a bunch of pop culture references in place of the simple "reported" message and some kind of script cycled through them. It was always stuff sorta like:
"x, reported! "YOU SHALL NOT SWEAR!!" -Gandalf the white"

E: ooh I found this thread about it and other similar stuff

...of SCIENCE! posted:

Bull loving poo poo.

I don't have any links since I don't give a gently caress but there was this account which I believe was simply called "Q" and would post these short messages that had the same structure as a short letter (or one of the so called Q drops) except every letter was just Q in upper or lower case. It was a small kind of thing for a time and the poster got a lot of attention and maybe that tripped some switches in their brain, about using mystery and the letter Q to gently caress around with people. Not to mention that 4chan, who Q has always been totally associated with, is a spinoff from this site.

It's far from proof but it's also completely believable. Personally I don't care at all whether it's true because it's just fun to imagine. Believe whatever you want, goon sir

I don't know if it was the same goon each time, but there was a period of time that every few weeks there was a goon who would post a thread about how doggystyle smells. Then, goons would always try to get more info about whether it they were actually talking about anal or if the partner had a hygiene problem followed by more completely aloof answers from the op.

The replies were usually worth at least a sensible chuckle.

That was Lord WaffleBeard or something. For 3-4 years they pulled the gimmick of confusing doggy = anal; and goons would respond in kind, "well, not necessarily"; for pages.

Like once a year, for several years, the post would be made and the debate would continue for half a dozen pages. It was a weird and silly gimmick, but I admired the determination to keep it going once a year for years on end.
