True History of LOLcats (Boing Boing tv)

[Alexfantastico26]

Walruses are a scourge upon mankind.

[CONKER17]

this is BS

[bonoboperson]

that history of lol cats may be true, but i like the internet ones better. the whole point of lol cats is to catch cats doing something at just the right time so it looks like they're doing something funny. it just isn't very funny when its drawn, because 1, it loses that magical touch and 2, its just too "set up" if u know what i mean. same goes for real lol cats that are obviously set up instead of caught. if this video is telling the truth, then i thank the creater for the start.

[1998skaterboy]

Why do we want to know the history? Let's just watch somes lolcats!!! Still, OK vid.

[branlego]

Lol

[planetery]

Internet humor: FAIL

[XzXP3t0rXzX]

HAHA NICE!!1

[hotelmario510]

They aren't L-O-L cats, they're lolcats.

[54spiritedwill54]

Awesome :O

[eyecat14]

tuna is yummy perfect NOw i can has chezeburger!

[ueberRegenbogen]

You think this is serious? Now THAT's scarey!

[TheREALgordonliu]

whatever that means.

but yes, Caturday was invented by people on 4chan.

cat macros as a whole are a product of 4chan, DeviantArt, and somethingawful, as well as several other online communities.

No. cat macros are NOT the descendant of the "hang in there baby" poster.

that is just the lie that the creater of ICHC uses to try and justify his complete theft of original art.

It doesnt matter. One day ICHC and anyone else who has cashed in on this concept will be sued in terrible ways.

[semo2010]

@TheREALgordonliu I love how this has become a well established field...

[waymard15]

..... O__O

O...K...

[Str8upWizardCJ]

@TheREALgordonliu so true, but pointless. OT is O

[lordofallwerewolves]

Sorry dude, can't give this one a passing grade. Although I did like those comics, that "old man" was getting REALLY boring.

[jalis666]

fucking fail...-_-'

[piepiepie27]

LOL!

The LOLCats phenomenon has exeeded other anthropomorphic, animal based image macros in both breath and depth.What was once a droll portmanteauhas developed into a dynamic movement fusing the social networking cosmos with animella culture,Tuna is yummy.

LOL!

[wormdemorgoth]

tuna is yummy XD

[psychoracer200]

u dont say it like L O L u said it like lawl cats freagin idiot

[wobistdeinfisch]

I always thought it was L O L cats.... I think it's a potato/potahto thing...

[Tesla7zap]

What is Fredrik Reinfeldt (Swedens prime minister) and Bono doing in that video XD

[sudisamrie]

I saw Bono.

[deefiant07]

LOL I love watching this stuff when im stoned. That old mans shadow is kinda creepy though.

[MeatyDoughnut]

OH MAN YOU'RE SO COOL

[bstmanversusskeletor]

ZOMG SO ARE YOU!

[superpheonixfire]

[Dustpelt9]

[Dustpelt9]

lol.

[ChuteToBen]

tuna is yummy, i agree. and im colour blind

[werewinterwolf]

someone here has won 5 internets out of this video :3

[balderdash707]

that was pretty funny

[culwin]

I would have rather seen a real video on the real origin.

[DorothyCatalonia]

The real origin isn't interesting. Some perverts on an anime website decided to start posting cat pictures on weekends to get a break from all the mock kiddy porn.

[trinculoid]

I thought it was real at first. The comics actually looked authentic.

[pinkCAKE]

4chan?

[monthlyvideocash]

Love this video! It's amazing that everyone is not taking advantage of monetizing their videos.$10 a month, every month! Yo! This video could make a fortune.

[Mawfles]

That would've been really cool if it was real, but the grandpa looks to fake.

[sigilvii]

ahhahahaha! i has a corm!!!

i liek corm.

[Blitzingtakin]

Shooped. I can tell because I have seen many shoops in my time.

[lmfa0m4n]

[Blueheart2245]

This crap was funny... However, if it isn't an original, then tisk tisk... Sad.

[T4KUZA]

Fuck this stupid meme and all the losers that think it's funny/cute/cool. FUCK ALL OF YOU FAGGOTS.

[Darganot]

Agreed, I can't believe this stupid shit is still going.

[666tacoboy]

[baggins55]

g4tv came out with this video way before this shit, they copied g4, get ur own ideas before umake a vid about it u fags.and the g4tv one is way better then this shit.

[DoucheNuke]

Hey, idiot? Yeah you. G4 did their cat segment way after Ape started his comics in June. Look it up, whore.

You'd know that if you didn't type before thinking. Effin' youtard.

[VictoriaAlis]

[DAJ01]

[duba3988]

[twentyfourohone]

[SORRYFORTHEREVIEW]

[xFL1PPYx]

[midnightrayuk]

why is this on the front page? 4:35 of my browsing time I wish I had back :/

[olepee]

that was probably the least funny thing i've ever dug up on youtube

[Floreum]

Nah, there's worse.

[angelV1]

(:3=

[flawns]

there is a warez group called locatz or lolcats :O

[ilikecurling]

i'm starting to think this old man isn't real

[MaicoMoon]

Thanks for that newsflash, Captain Obvious.

[PantherCuts]

Lolcats are believed to have originated from 4chan sometime around 2005.

Also, this video had disproportionate production values to the level of humor.

[ManofMystery80]

it did originate from 4chan... but the real origin of lolcats isn't really the point here, this is a joke if you haven't noticed

[ManofMystery80]

also this isn't a very funny joke... this was rather lame

[MaicoMoon]

It was very funny and creative. Not for the simple minded bretards of 4chan.

[boyutal]

LOLcats!
