okay, we have had plenty of internet fads, but the question is: which one annoys you the most?

"Most annoying", "Worst" and "Best" threads.

"Most annoying", "Worst" and "Best" threads.

but that is an NSG fad.

not an internet fad.

How about the brutalization and absolute sodomy of the english language from leet speek?

"Chuck Norris" jokes, God damn him and all that he touches.

When anyone "totally Pwns" anyone else.

"Chuck Norris" jokes, God damn him and all that he touches.

In Soviet Union,
Chuck touches YOU.



That ones getting a wee stale.

but that is an NSG fad.

not an internet fad.

No, it happens on pretty much every forum.

As do relationship advice and "waaah i can't get laid" threads.

But okay. I think Chuck Norris wins. Or loses, as the case may be.

How about the brutalization and absolute sodomy of the english language from leet speek?

Leet isnt sodomy.

Its more like Feltching.

retarded nazi children. not really a fad i guess, but they're all over t'interwebs. nasty little shits.

"Chuck Norris" jokes, God damn him and all that he touches.

i never got/still don't get them damn chuck norris jokes. strange american thing that came outta nowhere if you ask me



edit: can religious threads count as an annoying internet fad?

retarded nazi children. not really a fad i guess, but they're all over t'interwebs. nasty little shits.

And retarded religious fundie children too.

waaah i can't get laid (abridged)




QFT.

And retarded religious fundie children too.

oh yeh, them too *nod*

How about the brutalization and absolute sodomy of the english language from leet speek?

um, you just messed up the english language yourself. its suppose to be s, not z.

um, you just messed up the english language yourself. its suppose to be s, not z.

Who made you the expert? Both are acceptable. Also, sentences are supposed to begin with a capital letter, "English" is capitalised, "its" in that context is meant to be "It's" and "suppose" should be "supposed." If you are going to criticise, do it correctly. ;)

In Soviet Union,
Chuck touches YOU.
you mean in soviet Russia, don't you.

Christians :eek:

you mean in soviet Russia, don't you.

Not if your quoting Yakov Smirnov, wich Ive always assumed the deal.
He did his (lame) routine in the 80's.
Still "Union" then.

That fucking dancing banana.

"Chuck Norris" jokes, God damn him and all that he touches.

You win. *nod*

I want to see a porno (real people...not bananas) where the guy is doing exactly that dance while in the act.

I think it just might be the funniest thing ever...provided the man stays in character.

Chuck Norris jokes and Soviet Russia jokes are tied for most annoying.

i never got/still don't get them damn chuck norris jokes. strange american thing that came outta nowhere if you ask me



edit: can religious threads count as an annoying internet fad?
I never got Chuck Norris, (for which I count myself lucky).
If you want to count religious threats as an annoying internet fad, then you may.

"Leet Speak" is despicable, but some of the stuff from the early days, like dial-up AOL was even worse.

"Most annoying", "Worst" and "Best" threads.
Seconded

Actually Yakov Smirnov never refferd to them as Soviets until after the Soviet Union fell, before that he just called them Russians.

Curse you, I was gonna post that.

Erzaehler: Means aboard SERVICE 2101, the war has begun.
The captain: What is that this reaches?
The assembler: Partial us it has placed the bomb (spoken in to the sharp co-ordination if partial us it leads you it inflates) in

The operator: Marsh the main screen in in the way.
The captain: It is you!!
GATES: How ayto'es mine messieurs! be!

GATES: It is the way with the employment in the destruction. The captain: This ayto'es! fall!
GATES: They do not have in a probability they survive they shape your time.
GATES: The hectare hectare hectare the hectare.... (in to the sharp co-ordination as the hectares the hectare that speaks hectare)

The captain: They know that ayto'es making.
The captain: it moves a Zig.
The captain: For the big justice.

Ah, my brother! :D

I would have to say MySpace, L33T Speak, and the Chuck Norris jokes.

Godwin's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law) is the most annoying thing on the internet, fad or otherwise...
Primarily -- as I have just found out -- people have been applying it wrong every time I've seen it used.

I don't think this is a fad, but I REALLLLY don't like the animated smiley ads.

"SAY SOMETHING!"
"Whaaat?"

Cthulhu-Mythos;12003077']http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law (Godwin's Law) is the most annoying thing on the internet, fad or otherwise...

True. I would also have to say that I find it annoying when a stupid internet fad actually gets national attention when it's shown on a popular TV show.

Not l33tsp34k, but just the AOL-retard-laughs:

LOL
LMAO
LMFAO
ROFL
ROFLMAO
ROFLMFAO
LOLOLOLOL

It's sort of a toss-up between chatspeak, emoticons, myspace, Chuck Norris, Soviet Russia, ytmnd, shock sites, and the complete and utter mangling of the Goddamned Vice-Chairman-Elect's English (because kings are out of fashion these days).

Oh, and this whole Leeroy Jenkins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeroy_Jenkins) thing.
Blah!

I think that "hatefulness" is a growing fad and trend on the internet. Sad but true in my eyes. It just seems that there is more and more hateful people coming from all walks of life on the internet :(

Girl in my class used those for her back ground for every slide show presentation. And she always has little moving images. They didn't match in colour or themes and the background would change dramatically every slide and be horrible. Hated them.

No Wai!

Gor and everything Gorean

Any fad popularized by ytmnd.com

Also, slinging the term "emo" at any semblance of human emotion.

Oh, and the acronym "FTW".

Oh, and this whole Leeroy Jenkins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeroy_Jenkins) thing.
Blah!

I know it's silly, but that thing still cracks me up. :D

Oh God, I'd managed to drive that from my mind, but now that you have recalled it, I must change my vote: the FSM is far more annoying than Chuck Norris.
At least that Chuck Norris bullshit came out of nowhere, but the FSM was a blatant, and blatantly unfunny, rip-off of the Invisible Pink Unicorn (peace be unto her) by people who think that misspelling "midget" and talking about pirates is funny.

No Wai!

But its my favorite one. . .:(

MYSPACE FTL!

Chat speak.

The World Wide Web. Bringing the ability to communicate beliefs and information to masses? What was Tim Berners-Lee thinking?

I don't know about annoying, but my least favorite is

PAIN SERIES!!!
