This threads seem to pop up every single day now and I personally think they are being way overused. They almost always have the same repeated pictures and are just not creative. Would you guys rather have them slow down so we don't get them as often but the users actually spend time to make a fresh new one?

Dystopian-X makes the best ones but about 80% of them don't get so much as a grin out of me.

There are like 5 million of them and because there is so many they lack creativity, originality, and the unexpectedness. I think OT needs to take a break from YLYL threads for a while.

As much as I love me some good YLYL's, you can't justify having 4 in a single day (like today). They shouldv'e contributed to the legendary YLYL thread that was already in progress. A good YLYL takes a while, and there should never be two at once unless the other is lacking or a troll YLYL (EG: posting on 1 pic on the OP).

People are making way too many of them, which to me says that they're lacking in originality in making threads. A good YLYL is funny, but people, you DON'T have to all try to make them. Come up with your own ideas; YLYL isn't even original to GameSpot. :|

Just like every other thread on here. If there is more than one, it's annoying.

And it's not just the YLYLs. About a 60% of this board is made up of recycled threads at some point anyway.

Dystopian-X makes the best ones but about 80% of them don't get so much as a grin out of me.

Yeah, winning the Funniest User OTcar in the past makes me more than qualified for judging OT humor, and is in no way used as a way to drum up a feeble argument against naysayers. :D

I just hate when people make a YLYL when there is already one active, they should either wait until the other one is dead or contribute the pictures they are going to use to keep the thread going.

Anyone wanna save up some pictures, and use 'em at once on a specific day with me? o.o I've only made one ylyl so far, but it seemed somewhat popular. If we can get some people who were already planning on making their own thread, to sorta... just post 'em all at once, it'd cut down on the amount of threads a little.

I don't think I've laughed at one in 2 and a half years.

Though, that could be the depression. Oh the depression.

Every forum needs a funny pictures thread. This is one of Acemaster27's Laws of Internet. I believe the problem with the current YLYL threads are that only the TC posts any pictures. The first post will contain a great many funny pictures, but then no one else will add on and collaborate, and a YLYL thread will only for about 100 posts. Funny picture threads should be such that there is only one going at a time ever on a forum, and they should get to around 500-1000 posts. Many users should be contributing images. That said, I'd like to think that my only YLYL thread was creative and successful. It was the vuvuzela edition.

Weren't the original rules supposed to be that if you lost you couldn't post a pic, but if you didn't laugh then you could post a pic? This rule is almost never followed. I see "Lol i lost, Here are 50 more pics". If that isn't the rule, then the rule should be that you can't post without posting a picture.

For mine, I was pretty much the only one posting. It got ~50 pages.

Rule 21 - Original content is only original for a few seconds before getting old

Rule 22 - Copypasta is made to ruin every last bit of originality

I agree with this. I hate when people post their opinion of the thread, and then not post any pics. If you don't like the OP, post something that is better.

Well, since I've seen a few good ones and many repeats, I have to say it would be great if they were more creative. I haven't laughed at most of them lately, but it could be because I'm down right now.

to be honest it's perfectly okay to have ylyl on the OT really we got to realize that things must be done so that they don't get old and overused, I rather enjoy the ylyl, but after a good one there should be a rest period, and well honestly the only way half of these could not be funny is if you honestly don't pay attention to them. I think that in the spirit of a ylyl you should read every post and try to stay serious, but you shouldn't just skim through it and lose all the deaper jokes that you could have laughed at ... i don't think you honestly win, if you scroll through the pics and avoid reading then you're not really playing ...

Yeah way to many. I say they should put up a restriction for awhile, until more creative images can be found. As many have said, Dystopian has made the only good ones in recent memory.

that'd be the death of ylyl then. :( I think a better idea is to keep the rule of having just one open at a time, and restrict the days that a ylyl thread can be made. Something like... a saturday. o.O this way only one gets made a week. =D

And people would just go in there and post all their funny stuff when they feel like it. Keeping it there!

I like this idea. I could have the thread ready soon if mods give this the green light. : >
