Say, this is a good question. Shakey, I swear, if you've somehow managed to extend these awful people's lives with your chicanery...

there's a Rush Limbaugh one

maybe the only thing keeping him alive

it’s a million times better than pasting RIP on all the dead people threads, that’s the really gross shit

wait I forgot we’re not supposed to revive threads for old people because they might be dead and the people clicking on the thread might die as a result

it’s a million times better than pasting RIP on all the dead people threads, that’s the really gross shit

Hard agree

is there even a joke behind "RIP (terrible person who isn't actually dead"? like if it's supposed to be funny, what is funny about it?

these threads suck, original poster otm

If "is this funny?" is the benchmark for ILX threads it's game over, man

The other part of the gag is shakey’s ilx rep as a disrespecter of the recently dead

but that's not funny either

Not saying it is, just confirming that there is a joke there

NA are you funny?

I recommend we drop all of the uses of "RIP" on the board, as it's played out as both a respectful sentiment and an ironic statement when you really don't wish peace to a jerk

we should simply add ⚰️ to the end of an existing thread title to indicate the subject is no longer alive

It’s sad it was a bit

What's the objection to the fake RIP threads?

Personally I think they are funny. If you want to make a fake RIP thread for me, go for it.

Nice trolling!

I think shakey doing RIP Donald Trump etc. is boring and not funny but also who cares?

again, if the bar for donald trump posts/threads is that high then the mods are gonna be here all night

well, considering we aren't supposed to go to actual bars anymore because disease ... maybe this is a great use of mods' and everyone's time

maybe we just need to Nult-ify fake RIP thread titles: like Lisa Kudrow will have rested in peace

too soon

this thread is much worse than the worst RIP thread

ban ban all fake rip threads threads

xp - maybe just build a wall around this thread if you hate it so much bro

ban? fake all RIP threads!

oh I quite like it, it's just not as good as either of the RIP Kanye West threads

fake RIP threads are about as funny as rickrolls at this point, "ha ha gotcha made you think this horrible human being whose entire existence revolves around hurting other people is dead but he's NOT! PSYCH!"

Shakey Mo literally no one has ever found this funny please do the right thing and self-isolate from ILX.

it's Allemande left and Allemande right
c'mon ya fuckin' dummy get your right step right

Hard agree

Hard disagree

not really

this thread is much worse than the worst RIP thread

^ this

I like mh’s idea about the ⚰️ emoji

Has anyone with a fake RIP thread died irl yet?

Shakey started the 'RIP Castro' thread back in the golden age/dark ages of ILX. It rambled on for years, but Fidel finally kicked it over and unfunny joke became unfunny reality.

Correction: Shakey didn't, in spite of his notoriety in such respects. am0n did.

shakey can do it

no one else can

fin

sigh

for the record i'm not making any sort of a personal judgement against shakey, shakey is cool, i'm just fucking sick of the fake rip threads, particularly when they drag on for, like, decades. it's demoralizing.

thank you, carry on

they always make me laugh

shakey is cool

You don't need to go that far

when u read da fake rip thread

I always hoped Shakey was actually the grim reaper announcing forthcoming deaths and the delay in it actually occurring is afterlife redtape because the afterlife is a partisan bureaucracy

The shit Burt heard in those NY cars were his commercials

These thread titles are the worst. Ban ‘em

*gavel* motion denied

fake rip threads are a triumph of science

but if they ever become sentient, they will destroy us all.

its a risk we gotta take
