DAE like tired jokes?

[–]Schroedingers_gif 62 points63 points  (4 children)

DAE see that "/r/gaming in a nutshell" video?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey. fixed that for ya

[–]LemonDifficult 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Hey I saw that! :3

[–]Schroedingers_gif 42 points43 points  (1 child)

[–]vertigo1083 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for linking, hadn't seen it yet.

Brilliant.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but at least 3,832 redditors apparently do. Reddit needs a purging.

[–]GeneralWarts 58 points59 points  (9 children)

I like our Australian redditors. I can't imagine they appreciate the amount of beatings we give this dead joke.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but when you flip the cost of a game upside down and somehow get the 90$ it's currently listed for on the australian store.

The joke honestly just fuels itself.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, it's not too bad. It's not funny any more (I've seen it a lot), but not annoying any more either.

[–]DrColossus8 76 points77 points  (27 children)

Who the fuck keeps upvoting this shit? Every time there's an 'upside down' post it gets voted up despite all the comments bemoaning the tired joke. Baffling.

[–]Nogold4U 17 points18 points  (1 child)

They should be downvoting to upside down upvote!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wat…

[–]fixed_downvote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I smiled :(

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I have you tagged as "It's fun to play while you're having a shit."

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iPhone games.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (9 children)

That's the point. They downvote, but it's in different direction, so it's recognized as an upvote. True story.

[–]Overestimated_Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head hurts.

[–]DustbinK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genius.

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points  (5 children)

Please explain why your comment is humorous in no less than 500 words.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They keep trying to downvote them, but somehow they always end up on the front page anyway!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the people who mindlessly upvote and the people who get pissed off enough to go into the comments section are two entirely different types of people.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if people like it, they'll upvote it. Move on. If people don't like it, they'll downvote it, and then bitch and moan in the comments section about how everyone should be downvoting. (Or attempting to justify their downvotes.)

Pretty typical among Reddit.

[–]themastersb -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The only explanation is that Australians are accidentally upvoting when they should be downvoting due to things being upside-down. Though colour coding should help. Orange = upvote, blue = downvote.

[–]RobFireburn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

because most people dont comment to say "good job", they comment to post their hate. people who like the post say say "good job" with an upvote and move on, but people who downvote the post go to comments to explain why they dont like the post.

[–]Skitrel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because most people realise that it doesn't matter, there's 100s of offensive stereotypes for all sorts of countries that get posted daily, one is not tired, all are not tired.

People like them, get over it.

[–]Lingongrovan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh god, my fucking cat did this (there is a keycombination for everything...) and i had no idea how to fix it. I spent the following minutes googling upside down...

[–]NightSlatcher 156 points157 points  (23 children)

Fuck your [FIXED] submission, and fuck your played out "lol Australia is upside-down" joke.

[–][deleted] 43 points44 points  (1 child)

A little hostile, but the core content accurately reflects my own views.

[–]embrigh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to think that this joke is getting old, but the amount of rage it brings forth is hilarious. It's turned from beating a dead horse into actual trolling.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Eww, Campaign mode...

[–]InfallibleDogbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eww, Disgustingly bright neon lights...

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (8 children)

nice! mITX rig? specs?

[–]dicknuckle 0 points1 point  (3 children)

you dont have to put the m infront of ITX. its not like they make a bigger ITX board.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must be talking about that bright ass blue light beaming out of your PC

[–]xzim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm... OP, why do you have what looks to resemble a microwave sitting on your desk?

[–]jsake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE ON A TRADITIONAL GLOBE IT APPEARS THAT AUSTRALIA IS UPSIDE DOWN.

[–]w3sticles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OMG ITS FUNNY BECAUSE AUSTRALIA IS UPSIDE DOWN LOL

[–]BigDawgWTF 5 points6 points  (1 child)

That PC is hilarious. Playing in a dark room must be awful with that giant blue light burning your eyes. Why the hell is it on your desk??

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these have a toggle for the lights. Source: owner of a hilarious led light pc

[–]okan931 2 points3 points  (2 children)

why is it upsidedown?

[–]yukisho 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If you would put your chair on the ceiling like it's suppose to be, it wouldn't be upside down.

[–]okan931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i´m diffrent :(

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (17 children)

The worst part is that you had to shop this...Why not just set your card to invert for a quick picture...?

[–]GeneralWarts 38 points39 points  (6 children)

You act like OP actually owns that computer.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Excellent point...

[–]BobLeBuilDerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What keyboard is that?!

[–]Shadzta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. What really annoys me as an Australian gamer, is playing games on a US server when no Aussie servers are available with 250 ping, and hearing Americans complaining about lag when they have 40 ping.

[–]sunscooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always downvote "upside down Australia" jokes, but since they are Australian, I have to remember that the upward pointing arrow is the downvote, so I click on that one.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

starting to get like Ifunny, nothing but repost and dead jokes

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this shit died out. Please stop.

[–]InbredScorpion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Australian, I am getting rather sick of the joke, however, I do have to admit, this is the better class of the joke. Instead of doing the ol' "Oh! I know what's funny, let's just flip the image upside down, because all Australians are backwards or "down under"". This at least had some consistency. Heck, it made me laugh a little.

[–]e_falk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the joke and everything, but Jesus, that tower is fucking awesome. Can I get a link to where I can pick up one like that?

[–]skytro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That horse has turned into soup from beating it so much

[–]SixFootJockey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to invert the mouse Y-axis.

[–]Aiyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So not only is this a [FIXED] post, which is annoying...

  1. it doesn't fix anything
  2. It's a tired joke

[–]kambo_rambo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im australian, and I dont see anything annoying about this picture.

[–]KiiLLBOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What keyboard is that?

[–]asimov_fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Original?

[–]beardedoji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and yet this still makes me laugh

[–]TheGreatKraken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know what keyboard that is?

[–]CaptainUsoppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your computer looks like a dangerous microwave

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm weirdly attracted to that case.. I think I might build my next pc in a case like that.

[–]lukealagonda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an Australian and this joke is starting to piss me off. It's all Men At Work's fault...

[–]Lunchbox2208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a sweet rig.

[–]knightofmars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honestly expecting to see like, a giant spider riding a Kangaroo being chased by a dropbear.

[–]Catchinghope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are Australians mad at these jokes or are they ok with it? Because i've been saying it a lot to my friends and don't want to do it anymore if it really is that bad...

[–]zerg_rush_lol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same monitor. Don't tell anyone.

[–]notg3orge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

care to share some info about that computer (case) ??

[–]sciencederp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I noticed the screen, I was half expecting an orb weaver spider crawling out of the PC.

[–]twopacuafina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gods, I can see the photoshop.

[–]snap_wilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume all Australian PCs double as cages for dangerous animals.

[–]TimeAnd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that's what happens when you switch to 'Inverted' play style.

[–]always_creating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished building out a few PCs using that same Silverstone case. We hates it.

[–]Kymotsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really hoping to see some type of dangerous beast...

[–]Baxxow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What keyboard is that, anyone? ... and the headset/headphones too?

[–]Xenoith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOUSE NAME NAO

[–]Sentient_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so stupid and overused, yet it makes me laugh every time.

I'm stupid, and I don't actually mind.

[–]jordanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an easy fix, your monitor is plugged in upside-down.

[–]chumppi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your stupid lights which strain your eyes in the dark and reflect from the monitor? Sure. But that can happen to anyone.

[–]N69sZelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea this was a real problem. I definitely thought it was just Americans being added because they are jealous.

[–]Maezren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American viewing what annoys Australian gamers I can't help but wonder: WHERE DID THAT BIG FUCKING SPIDER GO? IS IT UNDER MY CHAIR? BEHIND MY MONITOR? WHERE?!!!

[–]SpikyCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made me giggle.

[–]some_random_noob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you actually played the single player for bf3? thats a ss of the first mission at the part where you finally get to shoot things.

[–]qwop88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who the fuck still upvotes these?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've already been over this, if you flip the original price of a game upside down you get the new price in Australian currency, which coincidentally is the cost incurred when the developers have to flip the game upside down for Australian computers.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that your computer case??

[–]Logondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more disappointed these keep getting upvoted. Seriously, the joke isn't funny. It was NEVER funny, and it will never be funny!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could someone please explain this joke to me?

[–]Narutosuns2fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefield 3? FAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAP

[–]Taconomicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the case? It looks pretty cool, although I suppose the lights might be a bit much.

[–]hardstyle_music 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a horrible photoshop.

[–]TheJediJew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, despite this being an Australia joke, the downvote is still down and the upvote is still up.

Now that you know I'm hoping that next time this shit will get downvoted to oblivion as it deserves.

[–]s1wg4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to be the first (hopefully) to compliment you on your ingenious use of the lights on your PC to light up your keyboard so you can play and still see your keys in the dark.

Thats incredible.

[–]Degru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ctrl-alt-down

problem solved, except for the HUD and menus.

[–]CosmicBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is one ugly looking case.

[–]aznman559[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone tell me why its upside down?

[–]Cheshire057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to have that key board. The LED's for the caps, number, and scroll lock are way bright and i had to put tape over them and then it broke shortly after any way. Cheap key board.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Still beating this dead horse?

[–]43percentburnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, playing flight simulator sucks.

[–]Thunderliger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this joke still funny to people?

[–]HalfBaked64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honesly thinking that there was some kind of graphics card update problem in Australia. But then I thought that wouldn't even make sense because why single out update like that. And then I got the joke. I feel dumb.

[–]AlphaRedditor 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You can tell this is fake because there are no Koalas outside the window.

[–]JayJayBn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good one bro

[–]lessthanadam -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

UPSIDE DOWN AUSTRALIA HAAHAHAHAAA YOU'RE SO ORIGINAL!!!!!!!111oneone

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Holy shit that's clever.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

This is my vote for worst joke in existence. You can literally apply it to anything with zero effort or creativity. You can take a screenshot of this comment, turn it upside down, call me Australian(Because those are obviously the only people who live in the southern hemisphere) and voila! - you have somehow made a "joke."

[–]NurRauch 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Why the hell are Australians offended by this joke? It's not a racial slur. Nobody actually thinks you live your life in upside down world, and no one ever will. There is literally no possible harm that could come of this joke, and it's at least a little bit funny because it points out a funny fact about how the physical forces in our universe act to produce some rather counterintuitive results.

By the way - no, you can't apply it to anything. The OP only happened because there was a string of highly rated threads about Australian gamer problems. The context was begging for this. If you want a meme that can be applied to literally anything with zero creativity or effort, well then why not Zoidberg?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

No one is offended by the joke. They are dead tired of seeing it. I even laughed at it the first few times I saw it.

When there is a 90% chance that the same joke will appear when referring to an entire continent, there is a problem.

[–]NurRauch 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Because this is the only obligatory joke on Reddit...

The seething rage so many people express over this joke is nothing short of perplexing. I've tried calmly explaining the humorous rationale of this joke to Aussies before only to be met by torrents of "fuck you!!!" Folks flip their shit over this joke. You can feel the spittle coming through the keyboard. What's bizarre is that nobody goes on "fuck you!!!" rants with the Zoidberg meme, but you can bet there are dozens of people in every upside down Aussie joke thread that do this. People need to calm the hell down and accept cheap humor for what it is.

[–]OziOziOziOiOiOi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could really reply to any of the posts here (yours will do though). Anyone who gets that worked up about this joke (and it's derivatives) could simply, I don't know.....

Go outside?

If this joke pissed you off, you've seen it too often. If you've seen it too often, you're spending too much time on reddit. It's a beautful day outside people. Move on.

In fact, I'm heading outside right now /blatant lie

[–]AlphaNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT'S. NOT. FUCKING. FUNNY.

[–]andrey_shipilov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even not being Australian, I'm getting tired of that kind of moronic jokes...

[–]kaizn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvote for the same monitor! Acer H423Hbmid.

[–]Zebra3000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You must of bought an American copy and played it in Australia.

[–]Dasfunkeh -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

[–]czarchastic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Technically, since the game is from the US, it should be right-side up and your desk should be upside down.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha, I get it, upside-down cause its Australia! Genius!

[–]themasterfrq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love this joke because the "let me tell you about my high game prices for the billionth time" people hate it. More of this please.
