You Laugh, You Lose

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Wuts dat? I'm a newfag who posts old meme because b/tards are stupid niggers who post on old meme threads, I ruse?

Indeed.

No.

The anti-lulz that lie within.

FUKKIN SAVED?? WHY???

You fucking Gook get the fuck out

Part of The Cancer That Is Killing /b/, this meme originated in 4chan's /b/. You Laugh, You Lose threads are what posters with no sense of lulz like to start.

In these threads, gaiafags prove their massive virginity skillz by reposting as many played-out image macros, memes, and other retarded images/copypasta as possible. The idea is to look at all the shitty images and not laugh, which requires absolutely no effort because, as noted, few are even remotely funny to begin with - unless you frequent Uncyc or, God help us, Ebaum's World. These threads are Bel Air combo magnets. The OPs are dick magnets.

Origins

Many claim that You Laugh, You Lose threads used to be entirely different from what they are today. The idea being that you or somebody else posts an image that is seriously offensive. Anyone that laughs at the posted image, loses. Anyone who laughs is no longer considered a functioning member of society and therefore loses. I suppose anyone who laughs at these threads is still no longer a functioning member of society, so not much has changed really.

Variations

• You Bawww, You Lose.
• "You Rage, You Lose". This is /v/'s variant of these. They contain just as much fail.
• "You Fap, You Lose". When a sexually suggestive picture is posted in a new thread. When the OP posts traps you really lose when fapping to that. Since /b/ is full of closet cases this isn't uncommon though
• "You Wat, You Lose".
• "You Save, You Lose". These threads were/are an attempt to dreg win from the ocean of piss. As opposed to the intellectual bankruptcy that typify "You Laugh, You Lose" threads, or the usual attempted reanimation of some dead shit that was never funny to begin with, "You save, you lose" threads were/are more akin to a mashup of /hr/, /p/ & /wg/. Fantasy/sci-fi/futuristic images are popular for some reason, but you will occasionally find epic hi-res artwork, or cityscapes as well.
• "You Fall in Love, You Lose". Probably one of the most retarded variations. People have to post hot chicks, and if you fall in love you lose it. Closely related to "You Fap, You Lose", only with more fail.

Difficulty Levels

. In an attempt to mix up You Laugh, You Lose threads, sometimes the OP will state difficulty levels. In general the higher or lower difficulty the less funny the thread is. Disregard that, they are all fucking the same.
