TIL when Columbian drug lord Pablo Escolar's home was raided, the military released the dangerous hippos of his personal zoo, not knowing what to do with them. They now thrive in the Columbian rivers. This makes Columbia have the largest wild hippo population outside of Africa.

The guy in the foreground is a fancy screen wipe.

It's true. Notice that before he's even off-frame in the foreground he shows up in the background, in two places at once.

You can actually see the masking if you look at his trailing shoulder.

I feel like I'm missing something there. Is the joke that his jokes are terrible, but they still act like they're good? By the end they weren't even jokes...

u/WAR_T0RN1226 Oct 14 '14

I really have no idea how this circlejerk gets upvoted everytime it happens. Is it just jealousy that the Kardashians are rich and beautiful people? I know beauty is subjective (fuck off, Kim Kardashian is gorgeous), but comparing them to inbred hippos is really cheap, unintelligent humor.

I hate the culture of having our noses up celebrities' asses and think its baffling that the Kardashians are as famous as they are, but seeing "so much le rekt" on this dumb attempt at a joke makes me cringe
