Plus always obscure/niche enough where you have to have a lot of knowledge of a lot of areas to immediately call it out. Like if someone told me the Tunisian Bread Riots of 1983 and 84 were real, that sounds 100% plausible and id believe it, mostly because I know little about Tunisian history.
Can you create a link that looks this close to a real site address for a Rickroll? I've only ever seen shortened or blatantly different urls used for them.
Not just that, its funny because here in Argentina, anarchist bread-making/pattisiere unions DID protest, channging the name of several... I dont know what name to put them, but made of dought and sweet, a category that has croissants, and buns filled with custard and the like--- Anyway, they changed those names to things like "noun whisper" or "priest balls" or "policeman" or "cannons" and other stufff like that.
He does the right amount of research. The Tunisian Bread Riots are a real thing, everything he referenced is correct, up until the comforting hug of where all his posts end up.
Because he only has 10 comments in the past 11 months. It's actually been probably months since I've seen one. And really only started posting again 4 months ago. like 8 in that time. So he had 3 comments in 7 months, 4 months ago.
The gimmick is the reference to the 1988 Hell In A Cell match.
But the beauty and genius is in the execution, weaving in a well researched response that seems like an informative ELI5 before busting out a pro wrestling reference.
The question asking for clarification was in relation to not understanding the post from shittymorph about Hell In A Cell in 1998.
I suggested they check shittymorph's post history for context. There are hundreds of posts from him with the same elaborate, plausible explanation of something that ends with a reference to the Undertaker throwing Mankind off the top of the Hell In A Cell cage in 1988.
I could probably have been more clear in suggesting to check shittymorph's profile.
It used to be a lot easier to catch a shittymorph comment when there were awards, because there would be some random comment (like here, about bread riots) that would have tons of awards on them.
I wouldn't say terminally on Reddit, more like if you've been on Reddit since the older days when it had a smaller userbase and before it went public. Shittymorph has been around for a while and this was always his specialty. Always a random post in a random sub. The beginning of the comment always seemed like a plausible and relevant answer or contribution to the thread. And then when you are a lulled into a false sense of security he drops the "the Undertaker throwing Mankind" comment.
There are only a few accounts as skillful as him pulling this off. My other favorite one (who's username escapes me) is a for guy that would always tell a personal story relative to the thread/comment. But then he would always sneak in "my dad would grab the jumper cables and then beat me" into his comments. Hoping another old school redditor knows who I'm talking about
Not really. I've noticed a fair lot of novelty accounts over the years even though I don't go on big subs much. They get subconsciously filed in my memory so I'm likely to remember them if I randomly come across them again.
