Have you ever come across a gif that unexpectedly and strongly impresses you?



I was looking up "screaming man" gifs and this was one of them. I have no idea what the details are here but this guy has my attention all the way. (And not just because I find him attractive.)

    I can't think of a GIF, but definitely memes. But I can't think of any in particular at the moment. I should go to bed, really. Good night, friend!

    Always my best to you, too!

    Going to bed now would be good for me.

    I want that bottom sandwich. Even if it were just a loaf of bread, it looks great.

    I don’t if impressed me is the right word but this one is my favourite.

    Yes! I've seen this GIF before here on the site - - probably from you! Certainly is memorable (A "yikes" to me, even though I assume she's just asleep.)

    That's hilarious!! I mean, as long as the child is just asleep and not injured in any way, of course.

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly continues to receive great praise for such qualities as its direction and its editing, and it's easy to see why.


    The guy in your GIF is Kevin de Bruyne. You're welcome, Welbz :) I don't like him much because he keeps treating his teammates that way, but he's an excellent midfielder.

    Thanks for adding more info for me about Kevin, Danilo_G! :)  I trust your take on him - - I don't like him so much now, either -- wondering if this GIF may be a typical quasi over-the-top type of reaction he does a lot for drama's sake. I thought it might have been an extreme moment of frustration for him that was caught on film. I have no idea who he is nor even what sport.  :)


    I don't even know if I have seen "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" -- shame on me - - but I prefer the cat's interpretation of the actors!  :)

    To be fair, it's a pretty common sight in this strange sport called football/soccer. If there's one reason I like football, it's because of the necessary team play, the psychological aspects, and the need for strong leadership. Do you see that little blue-and-white armband beneath his left shoulder? That means he's the team captain, with added responsibility in terms of communication. And I guess that's one way of doing it, haha. But not in the team I like...

    That was fun to read! Thanks, Danilo_G! And thanks for your help.

    That's funny! I haven't seen that movie, either. I've tried, I think. Just have a block when it comes to that genre, I guess. 

    That GIF is hilarious!

    I think it's safe to say most Westerns haven't aged too well, one way or another, but I still have a soft spot for the landscapes in particular (and the horsies). You've also got these "revisionist" Westerns, which tend to be more critical about certain conventions - assuming you prefer movies that don't revolve around shooting people and stealing women!

      Wait! Did someone say “stealing women”?

    Randy's unceasing encouragement for steeling women.

    Some lovely landscapes. I worry about the treatment of the horsies, of course. 

    I enjoyed "Legends of the Fall" and "No Country for Old Men". Do those count? Shooting people and women stealing... I vote yes! 

    :)

    I think those count - No Country for Old Men definitely does; the first example I could think of myself :)

    I still can't think of anything specifically. Other than GIFs I've made with my phone using photos I've taken myself! I'm not that exposed to GIFs and MEMEs or they don't make a big impact or something, I guess. 

    That kid is cute, the one in your GIF.

    I come across GIFs most of the time just for fun as I try to add things here on answerMug.  :)

    Yeah, I find him cute, too.  :)

    impresses impressed. And no commas needed. As for the question, yes.

    I removed the commas, thanks.

    I left the present tense of "impresses" because this GIF continues to impress me every time I watch -- it's always in the present tense for me.
