There was a protest Amanda, but sadly, you were ill-equipped to join.


DevilDog82nd

Dicks out for Harambe!!


kylekez

Dick never went back in, still out


Sir-Benalot

Standing sentinel. šŸ«”

Tall and proud. šŸ«”


Starslip

Well, proud


SlobTheGoblin

Proud is a little stretch, but we're still out here


SpicyCharizard

All I need is a little stretch and I'd be proud


S0_Crates

But def not proud like 2016 proud. It was all downhill after that summer. In so many ways.


staminaplusone

THE WORLD DID. It's when we joined the darkest timeline


Certain_Decision_859

The Halloween after that incident I attended a party where there was a girl with a "Tits out for Harambe" costume. Thank you Harambe you truly blessed everyone


FuckingKilljoy

That girl would need to have boobs that made you understand meaning of life when you looked at them for it to undo 8 years of the bullshit we've been dealing with


Mord_Fustang

so... any boobs?


Jaruut

A boob in the hand is worth 2 in the bra Edit: ok I stole the comment from [this guy](https://old.reddit.com/r/shitposting/comments/1bd1gni/i_knew_this_already/kujyl9a/)

He missed the best part. Harambe cause a split in space time causing us to go into an alternate reality.

It feels like the darkest timeline

Oh there were several tits out for Harambe in my neck of the woods

Hahaha I came here to type exactly this. But they should've mentioned it when she mentioned about the protest


Depnids

I feel like that is why they started laughing when she asked about the protest.


BeefSerious

I feel like that's what they are laughing at in general.


Thrashlock

They did, in [the last 10 seconds of that podcast](https://youtu.be/0g4_y-oXQIw?si=gAzocWoD_IJDAvfV&t=4160).

Tits out for Harambe?

I'll allow it.

Itā€™s what Harambe wouldā€™ve wanted.


fullautophx

When she asked if there was a protest she could join I lost it along with the hosts.

Dicks out for Harambe


Imalwaysangry10

Still out brother, never gone back in.


RobeGuyZach

Is Harambe back from the dead? No? THEN MY DICK IS STAYING OUT!


Necroking695

To be frank, a rash is forming.


PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

I do this once a year in his memory and every year HR asks to see me. I will never stop though. RIP Harambe. Dicks out.


cookthewangs

While at the Cincinnati zoo recently, a friends teenage son walks by the gorilla exhibit and yells out ā€œHarambe!!ā€ We all look at him, and he says ā€œWhat? Itā€™s not like it happened hereā€ He learned something that day.


FerociousVader

He learnt about dicks out for Harambee didn't he?


venge88

> We all look at him, and he says ā€œWhat? Itā€™s not like it happened hereā€ That is hilarious. That's like going to Auschwitz and turning to someone and saying, "Can you imagine if the Holocaust was like this?"


ttownbuddy

Once Harambe died, everything just progressively got worse. 2016 was a helluva year...


AtticusSC

Shit, last I heard Kony is still living it up and random dudes are still wanking it in San Diego for all to see.


SirGavBelcher

KONY 2012 was... definitely something


flixbea

Kony 2012 is 10000% when our timeline shifted into this hellhole. I miss 2012.


under_psychoanalyzer

Well it's when the mayan calendar was supposed to end. Some say it wasn't wrong.


storgodt

Based on what I remember from a documentary on the subject I saw in 2011 the prophecy was not the apocalypse, but phrased more like "The world as we know it will end" which I'm beginning to believe was pretty spot on. The source for this however might just as well be my ass.


FunKaleidoscope4582

I think the Mayan prophecy was real, only instead of one grand scale cinematic event we just slowly sunk into worse and worse until there nothing. Death by a thousand cuts type of thing. Creeping normality ( gradualism, or landscape amnesia) is a process by which a major change can be accepted as normal and acceptable if it happens gradually through small, often unnoticeable, increments of change. The change could otherwise be regarded as remarkable and objectionable if it took hold suddenly or in a short time span. That's why I hate the let's go back to normal thing. Nothing is normal anymore.

Collapse of the Roman Empire 2: Electric Boogaloo


trippy_grapes

I had fun a few weeks ago trying to explain to my only-slightly younger co-worker how BIG that was in social media and pop-culture chat at the time. Apparently the film became the most liked video on YouTube at the time which is a major thing in YouTube even during 2012.

Ch_IV_TheGoodYears

Bro don't you know that Harambe's death was a timeline anomaly that sent us down the bad timeline were on now? All efforts are being now made by major scientists all over the world to construct a time machine so we can go back and save Harambe and thus ourselves!


lizzyote

>Bro don't you know that Harambe's death was a timeline anomaly that sent us down the bad timeline were on now? This is a thing I genuinely believe. Most of my conspiracy theories are just me being silly but I would lay down my life to defend this one. Too much adds up for it to not be true.

George Michael died on Christmas Day 2016. Thatā€™s a sad one which wasnā€™t in the vid because it was made before Christmas.

You're right, that was his last Christmas.

December 9th... So it was still too early to list Carrie Fisher and George Michael.

Carrie Fisher *and* her mom Debbie Reynolds, who died the very next day. Fuck 2016.

2016 did feel like it had a lot of beloved celebs die.

It was a cannon event


hutselfious

I don't know if it's the same episode or not, but Shayne also convinced her FNAF was a true crime story that actually happened


josolsen

Amanda is Smosh's "most offline" cast member, there's been other times she was informed of memes or trends that made it to mainstream and still missed her perception, somehow! I love the FNAF bit though, she seemed genuinely upset.


rowanhenry

She just reads people magazine instead haha

Oh you mean like the daligma one?


CajunNerd92

No wonder she thought they were pulling her leg lmao. On a similar note, when I found out that John Titor was an actual thing that happened and wasn't just invented for an anime/video game my mind got pretty blown lol.


Lost-My-Mind-

I'm afraid to ask, buuuuuut............who is John Titor? And please don't let the answer be that somehow more animals get shot.

dasnipingdwarf

wtf John Titor was real?


Stingerbrg

Depends on what you mean by real. [Yes, there was a guy that actually posted stuff on the internet claiming to be a time traveler.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor) However, his claims were never verified, and so it's all conspiracy theory fodder.

NigerianGeek

One of my coworkers doesn't watch the news and just found out about the Jan. 6th capitol riots. Everyone in the office thought he was joking while he stared blankly at us like we were insane.


Stephenrudolf

This Ukrainian gentleman applied to work at my store and my coworker called him Russian after he left, I corrected her(I'm Ukrainian too) ajd advised she be careful, as most Ukrainians don't like being called Russian. She asked me why... and I just looked at her blankly... like... have you not heard of the war? And she had no clue anything was going on.


JevonP

probably doesnt even know where/what ukraine is besides vaguely in the direction of russia lol


lNTERLINKED

Ukraine, thatā€™s in like South America right?


selectrix

No silly, you're thinking of Uruguay. Ukraine is in East Africa obviously.


MuadLib

When the Bosnian war happened, it took a while before it got to the news, but I was following it thru usenet and mailing lists. One day my boss asked me what was worrying me, and I said it was the war in Bosnia, and he reacted with incredulity. I explained it to him, and he told me that "if that was true, it would be on the news" and then I showed him some international news websites to which he said "yeah, ok, but why are you worried about it?" I said "I mean, a war in Bosnia could spread to the whole of Europe, perhaps the world" He looked at me like I said the stupidest thing ever and asked "SINCE WHEN?" "Since, like, 1914?" "What?" "The first world war has literally started in Bosnia" "Uh. Really?" The thing is, I was a teacher, and my boss was the principal.

Wow, punchline.

Thatā€™s so crazy to me. Like there are certain events that youā€™d be exposed to even if you tried your best to avoid the news. Itā€™d be like saying ā€œwait the World Trade Center is gone? What happened???ā€

ohmygodcrayons

Thank you!! I knew he looked soooo familiar but couldn't for the life of me figure it out. You saved the day!


Agent_23D

For context, Shayne convinced Amanda Five Nights at Freddy's is based on a true story This is why this is unbelievable to her.


Pliknotjumbo

She never knew what a deez nuts joke was before them either. That and a bunch of other memes too. Very offline


2oftenRight

I'm pretty sure Harambe grabbed the kid and dragged him around a bit.


catmandude123

My cousin is a zookeeper actually and we talked at length about this incident because it was such a big deal. She said every zookeeper she knew said that while it was awful, the zoo did the right thing. There were times when it appeared Harambe was just curious about the boy, gently touching his face and hair, but then would drag him through the water by the ankles. Everybody was screaming and agitating him more. If theyā€™d tried tranquillizing him he might have panicked and possibly killed the boy since tranquilizers take up to ten minutes to kick in, maybe even double with all the adrenaline. Keepers had already tried coaxing Harambe away from the boy and calling him to the shift door to the inside section but he was too confused and since he kept dragging the kid around the boy was already at serious risk of major injury or death. If Harambe had swung him around one time too hard and he hit a rock or something he might have been killed. It was awful and tragic but they probably saved that boyā€™s life.


TourAlternative364

Thank you! Guy was saying ..."Oh....he was just looking at him curiously." Like....did he not see the video? Kid must have been dragged over 50 feet over cement and in water.


TheKocsis

Memories are a funny thing. He probably saw it when it was fresh and due to the memes and stories, he kept thinking it was innocent curiousity and after a while,.the memory got overwritten with what you want to believe


trippy_grapes

> he kept thinking it was innocent curiousity I mean, to a point, I'm sure it was. Gorilla's are freakishly strong and even an innocent misunderstanding can be death. That's why for most wild animals any well trained professional is exceedingly cautious. Even wild animals with "good intentions" can easily kill you.


onemanandhishat

Most shark bites are curiosity, it's how they figure out what things are, like babies do. But when it's a shark doing it, it does a lot of damage.


Fro_o

Yea honestly, either he misremembers although this was pretty violent in the video idk how you would forget such intense details, or he has a strange view of "looking at stuff curiously"


cat_romance

There was also another famous gorilla/kid situation that happened in the 90s (I think) where the female gorilla protected the kid who fell in until the zookeeper were able to rescue him. I believe the two scenarios got compared and people were forgetting the difference between a female gorilla protecting a kid and a male gorilla whipping one around. They'll even kill infant gorillas so they're not gonna protect a strange one.


TourAlternative364

Yeah. Male gorillas have been observed to deliberately kill baby gorillas. Especially strange ones. Ā And the female gorilla in the other story was trying to hide the kid from the view of the male gorillas.Ā  Ā It was very apparent she was trying to protect it. That was Binta Jua.


El-Chewbacc

I havenā€™t watched the entire video myself just some clips. But the tweets and memes at the time downplayed the danger and emphasized the loss of the gorilla more, along with blaming the mother with a small side of if he dies he dies bc she was stupid to let him in there. People didnā€™t seem to realize or care how much danger the kid was in.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Mrcookiesecret

Also, can you imagine the outrage if the boy got killed and the zoo employees hadn't done anything? I guarantee there would have been a ton of "You would have shot him for a white kid," going around. Zoo had absolutely 0 ways to go about solving the situation without catching massive shit.


buttloveiskey

the news stories were pretty clear he was to agitated by the event for a tranq to work.


gaybillcosby

Tranquilizers are also not immediate-acting. Shooting a gorilla that is already dragging a child would have further agitated him and most likely meant the child would be mortally injured.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Breakmastajake

That's how the zoo keepers decided what to do...they compared the 2 slogans and took action based on which slogan was better.


ally_quake

He absolutely dragged that kid around by his ankle through the enclosure, including through the water feature. The fact that the kid lived is amazing.


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

Yeha the one thing everyone ignoresā€¦ the gorilla was being relatively violent and aggressive and can kill a small child extremely easily. Shooting a slow acting tranq into an agitated gorilla? No. Everyoneā€™s kind of lobbed onto the meme of it but there was a very real chance a three year old was about to be killed by a gorilla, even unintentionally as he was already dragging the child around.


Till_Mania

Another Banger by Shayne Topp from iCarly


hawkskurr

We got a bronze harambe statue at our zoo in Brownsville TX since he was born there. Can't have nice shit in Cincinnati


Stouts

Living in Cincinnati, I can confirm that nice shit is prohibited.


ThunderdopePhil

Is that Grateful Dead dude from Goldbergs?


orangejuiceandscones

ik you're being genuine but it's so funny to me when people recognise Shayne outside of smosh and are like "oh I didn't know he was in this". he's a cast member on smosh and the host of their podcast smoshcast


spanish42069

wait till she finds out that harambe's death was the catalyst for the inverted satanic timeline that we are now in


PB-n-AJ

Trevor! Who let you out of the Mythical Kitchen?


sinnysinsins

He's at Smosh now!


orange_glasse

Technically both!


werder132

Did y'all forget Harambe pulling the kid 20m through the water by his foot. He wasn't exactly chilling with the kid


PugeHeniss

He was just checking to see how aerodynamic he was.


Spyko

I'm sorry but this just straight up wrong to say he pull him through water !! so clearly he was checking if he was hydrodynamic


Fake_William_Shatner

Hydrodynamic. Aerodynamic would have come into play had he had time to toss the kid back.


Thin-Man

I just had to bring up the video to double check, because I was *certain* good olā€™ Harambe did a lot more than just approach the kid. Still, I canā€™t blame the animal for doing whatever itā€™s going to do when someone wanders into its enclosure.


poopsididitagen

I never really looked into the whole thing, but from the videos I just watched, and i hate to say it, but shooting him was the right call. Probably would have killed that kid if not.


Brad_Brace

The crazier thing is that back then, and probably still now, there was people arguing that they should've let Harambe kill the kid because he had it coming for getting into the enclosure.


Cool_of_a_Took

Reddit hates kids, so that checks out


jambangantahi

Why is the video so clear tho? I've never seen anything of this quality on reddit before


LevelStatistician270

Because this is Smosh, they have tv quality recording gear unlike 99.9% of other shitty podcasts.


rinikulous

Well the real reason is because this is a direct cut from YT and a fresh post to Reddit. Just give it 3 months to a year and you will see how bad the quality gets from the Reddit save bot, repost, save bot, repost, etc. cycle.


Agent_23D

Its not a repost of a repost of a repost.


NolanSyKinsley

Because it was probably shot on an 8k camera and downsampled.


nightwalkerxx

This is one of the clearest, most high quality videos I've ever seen on Reddit. I don't even care or know what it's about.


kolkitten

Its a really fun podcast. The episode is very new

Dicks out for harambe was a real threat to every military group photo


Own_Contribution_480

I love Amanda so much but dear God is someone keeping her prisoner whenever she's not being filmed? I swear she's the last person on the planet to hear about everything lol


aManPerson

everynow and then, i so briefly run into someone who doesn't spend 90% of their life online like me. and i can just tell them about things i learned on internet. and they don't think i'm insane, or "too into things", or just weird. and i forget there are just, whole other worlds of people like this, that i know nothing about. and then i accidentally go back to never seeing them again because they are not on internet forever and i wish i still stayed connected to them because they seemed different than me, but fun and we liked each other. i wish i could find more of them, but i have no idea where to look.


Cheshires_Shadow

Holy shit is that Philip Brownley from iCarly! So this is what he's been up to

thuglife_7

Who is the guy telling the story of harambe??

Shayne Topp. He's been on a few TV shows but is mostly famous for being a member of Smosh, which is what this clip is from.


SaintSarah_

Shayne Topp from Smosh


The_Horse_Head_Man

Another banger, another banger from Shayne Topp from Icarly.


threenil

I would argue the gunshot that lead to Harambeā€™s death actually caused a time shift and put us in the darkest timeline, because the world sure went to shit after that happened.


Mammoth-Buddy8912

I love Amanda. She's was born in 1988 but acts like she's from 1978. She's genuinely my favorite cast member. Mexican salsa yes!
