If this thread is good enough to be best of'ed, pretty much everything in that sub should be best'ofed. THis This is just what they do there.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

Yep, this isn't original or that great to anyone who actually frequents /r/photoshopbattles. This kind of thing (and other internet fads) happens in almost every thread. Kind of a shame this is getting attention considering there are some really great, creative photoshops that pop up every day in that sub.

Although I got nothing against the guy, I like him much better that way.

I agree. Unoriginal content is killing this subreddit. All non-default subreddits should be banned.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

Not sure if you're joking or not...if you look at rules in the sidebar, you'll see that this sub is for non-default subreddits only. Stuff from default subs goes in /r/defaultgems.

u/Mr_A Dec 14 '12

I am joking. Banning all non default subs from here would leave bestof with no subreddits.

u/RandomName01 Dec 14 '12

I'm sorry. I have only very recently discovered r/photoshopbattles and I thought it was good enough, which it apparently isn't (considering your comment is the top comment). I just won't submit any photoshopbattles-threads again.

Might as well just delete your reddit account

u/pootertime Dec 14 '12

Eh that's ok though, at least it turned more people on to the sub. I just subscribed!

u/buckhenderson Dec 15 '12

they have a "best of 2012" going right now, if you want to see some good stuff.

u/awesomefutureperfect Dec 14 '12

A former friend of mine once told me that in order for anything to gain popularity, the content has to be watered down to near non-controversial rehash, otherwise the work will only get a niche audience that views a submission as poignant. Of course controversy gets attention, and some will say that there is no such thing as bad publicity, but popularity means acceptance, and controversy generally involves provoking mores with (an) outspoken advocate(s).

People are not doing that sub justice. It's not all memes all day.

Stuff like this happens there also: http://i.minus.com/ibsvNCdH3ieeHO.gif

Subbed. You're awesome.

u/dariusj18 Dec 14 '12

That sub is just a flamewar over what is and isn't a cinemagraph.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

The comments in that sub are just a flamewar. The submissions are almost always excellent. So just don't go to the comments, or if you do, know what to expect. But the content is to die for.

1

u/dariusj18 Dec 14 '12

Yes, sorry, you are correct. It is a wonderful sub for content.

u/cul_maith Dec 14 '12

Cheers for that. Definitely subscribing now.

Is that from Chernobyl by chance?

u/LiterallyKesha Dec 14 '12

That's because you only get directed to the "battles" that end up with frontpage posts like these and they are usually commonly wide-audience type images because that's what appeals to the larger vote givers. Hang around the sub and you shall see than this crap.

4

u/landragoran Dec 14 '12

agreed. the sub itself is fantastic.

u/M4rtinEd3n Dec 14 '12

I am still wondering why they forgot this gymnast with the mean face but put Psy, some random santas, Queen. Gosh!

u/Meh567 Dec 14 '12

This made me realise i need to get on with more important things than reddit, thankyou.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

Me too. But I probably won't...

u/davekil Dec 14 '12

more like r/mspaintbattles

u/TheAdoringFan Dec 14 '12

Yeah they were all pretty shit to be honest.

21

u/leif777 Dec 14 '12

this is crap compared to some of the shit they're done

4

u/DanceswithCleverbot Dec 14 '12

Yup. I don't really find it funny, probably because it doesn't feel even remotely spontaneous. More like, oh, empty seats, eh? We should fill them. Because that's obvious.

The one with the arctic cat was much better.

11

u/The_dog_says Dec 14 '12

This is the third time that a "fill in the seats" thread has been bestof'd from there. We get it, they do this.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

The thread's not even finished yet!

u/PseudoKhan Dec 14 '12

Am I the the only one who isn't impressed by this shitty photoshop bullshit?

u/robotshoelaces Dec 14 '12

It's not a roller coaster!

And roller coaster is two words!

1

u/lenaro Dec 15 '12

Yeah seriously. Those boats don't even have wheels.

1

u/robotshoelaces Dec 15 '12

They actually do have wheels but that still doesn't turn a flume ride into a coaster.

4

u/bunsonh Dec 14 '12

So basically, /r/photoshopbattles is exactly the same as Fark circa 2000. Got it.

u/drinkup Dec 14 '12

Well aren't you a special snowflake.

u/Sacharified Dec 14 '12

Wow people can copy and paste 'meme' pictures, so exciting!

u/LamboMerci Dec 14 '12

ITS NOT A ROLLERCOASTER GOD DAMMIT

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

It's not a rollercoaster... It's a boat...

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

Bestof is a flaming pile of shit. Can't believe I'm just now unsubbing.

u/Greatdrift Dec 14 '12

It's a splashboat ride, not a roller coaster.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

ROLLER COASTER???? ROLLER COASTER??????

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

This is not a roller coaster.

u/dewnok Dec 14 '12

"fills" meaning "now fills"

u/ConfusedNarwhal Dec 14 '12

I feel like the one where they filled the stadium section was a lot better.

u/yParticle Dec 14 '12

I was mildly bothered by the fact that the Pterodactyl could be holding the mistletoe in its beak with just a little judicious use of the erase tool.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '12

Nothing in that sub is worth extra exposure

1

u/king_of_blades Dec 14 '12

And they still haven't learned no to use jpgs in threads like this.

u/equationevasion Dec 14 '12

Can't believe they didn't take the opportunity to go for a 'which seat shall I take?' Rebecca Black joke!

u/Justinyoder Dec 15 '12

Props to whoever put the Jurassic park guy in
