I see threads all the time regarding that it's "oldsmoboat" as in the style of threads he posts or one of his pet peeves or?

Chris, care to input?

This is an honest question, no?

Oldsmoboat's Law (paraphrased): The more a thread's Topic Title/Summary emphasizes how funny the content is, the less funny the content actually is.

If you title your thread "OMFG, FUNNIEST VIDEO EVAR!" likely it is just plain dumb.

EDIT: Lol at the second definition.

Blown head gasket. :( Wanna fix it? ;)

It means to be a man among men.
It means to not tolerate second best or ignorant metrosexuals.
I must admit that the second part is REALLY hard around here but I try to keep a stiff upper lip. I will not acquiesce to ignorance nor thread titles that say funny when they are clearly not.
I hope this helps you.

Just to clarify, by "That poster" he meant the guy who posted the definition on urbandictionary.com.

Not me :D

I could've sworn there was another picture that looked more professional looking that represented the law.

Sounds like it would be refering to Oldsmobile cars. Since they are a lot like "road-boats", just drive an old Oldsmobile and you'll see what I mean. But hey shows what I know about internet lingo.

I think the first two points contradict each other... :p

I've been wondering if there needs to be an additional correlary to oldsmoboat's law.

Any thread that is actually funny is in fact a repost.

The creator of "oldsmoboat's law," which states that "The thread title said "Funny Video" but the funnay was not found." This implies that a thread with the word "funny" in the title will not be funny. Wants desperately to be a mod but is just an old crank with an unusually hot daughter.

That is the only part I saw. :shocked: Where are teh :camera:'s?
