Same.

I kept dozing off in Art History.

The only example that worked for me was the second. There's a cheeky humor to the GIF that could be fun in the context of celebration. I can imagine this image doing well in Stand Your Ground or the charts section, as one stan lords victory over a rival base.

I like the gif but there were at least two examples that didn’t quite fit in for me.
I think the last two. Otherwise it’s good. I have seen it around ever since you submitted it.

So basic, but good. I commend you for not caring about the size, but that completely hinders my ability to use it. I can think of several instances in my post history where this would've sufficed, but the lack of compactness would've left it for the birds. BUT THEN AGAIN, all my uses would've been for bragging rights so it's oversized nature would just emphasize my overgrown ego.

It's cute and versatile. I like it and I think ATRL would as well.

There's so little happening in this GIF that I missed the motion at first. It's very understated—not something that I associate with ATRL at all. You seem to be using the image as a winking punctuation on a post, but the cat's wink is more sleepy than sassy, so it lacks that visual punch you're aiming for. Your entry looks great, though; it's probably my favorite layout of the week.

It’s okay. A little boring I have to say.
Is this a tribute to CrazyCat?

It's quirky subtleness seems as though it would limit it's usage around here, but you provided amazing examples. I still want to use this for my avatar one day too.

It's cute. Kind of shady, but there's not really much else to it than a cat with glasses and the occasional lick. I can see it being used though.

I didn't love this GIF upon first glance, but a closer look changed my mind. Something about the wide-eyed smile plastered on Judge Judy's face just made me laugh out loud, especially in some of your examples. The sarcastic tone implied by the image is so versatile; I could see this all over ATRL.

Not bad at all. But not great either. It’s a bit underwhelming but I liked your examples.

Adding the fabricated examples with actual ones, which include a good mix of yours and other members, was a great selling point for this obvious instant hit recipe of a gif.

Many Judge Judy gifs have come and gone in ATRL. This is shady and I can see this being used... but I can't help but think I've seen this used before. Not the same scene, but something similar. Maybe it wasn't Judge Judy?

I absolutely love Ja'mie, so I wanted to like your entry more, but something about it is just not quite right. Having all the girls run away at the end of the GIF sort of undermines the fighting you intend to emphasize in your examples. One option would be to cut it shorter, leaving just the fight—an image that I can actually imagine doing rather well across the forum. As it is, the GIF might work better as a sort call to clean up the discussion in a thread ("Oh shoot, the mods are here!)" or perhaps a taunt to a retreating rival, though obviously the opportunities for use would be less.

nnnn;; I love the gif. But I found it hard to understand why you used it in your third example..

The custom quote titles in the examples were nice, but overall a bit lackluster.

Some of the examples don't make sense/go along with the gif. Also, there have been better drag gifs that have been used in the past and are still used today. I don't see this being used.

Originally posted by Supaspaz

This GIF didn't click with me at all until I took a look at the examples. The shadiness is unexpectedly effective, and the absurdity of it being from a children's television program gives it an extra appeal. I could easily see two members locked in a stan battle using this image in response after response to each other. Your presentation is great, too.

Originally posted by Domino

Great layout. Although half of the pics weren’t showing up on my laptop.
However, I don’t see the gif as being something that ATRLers would necessarily adapt.

I kind of love it. I always knew that bear was one shady son of a bitch.

Sorry, I don't find this GIF funny at all. It looks like a scene of domestic abuse, and I could never enjoy something tied so closely to violence against women. That issue aside, however, the image is also simply too on point. He's literally dragging her—that doesn't seem like a particularly creative visual response. The only example where the GIF really added anything was the ARTPOP/Prism edit.

Yassss I love it. But some examples didn’t really fit, to be honest.
Your layout was impressive.

I get the point of the gif is to exemplify a drag... but this is just pure domestic violence. I don't condone that. Also, you gave a pretty big description when I only wanted the examples to do the talking.

Originally posted by Supaspaz

Conversely to some of the other entries this week, your GIF actually suffered from the examples you presented. It's sort of fun on its own, but I still don't understand how you would expect members to use it. The image doesn't add anything particular to the posts you included. There seems to be a joke in there somewhere, but I can't figure out what it is.

Originally posted by Domino

I will be honest. I never thought you would submit such a perfect gif.
It’s definitely my favorite one. All examples made sense to me. It is so versatile.
Great job.

Is that Jim Parsons? It gives that simplicity that some members really love, so I can see this being used and abused. Fun!

Choosing a Disney GIF this week was smart for your brand, but that's the only positive thing I can say about this entry (besides that your banner looks great). It might have worked better a couple of seasons ago, when *dead* GIFs were all the rage on ATRL—including a very popular image of Pocahontas diving off a cliff. I haven't see anyone use them in ages, though. As a result, you feel passé this week, instead of like a trendsetter.

Originally posted by Domino

I can hardly see this gif happening. It’s just so random. And that necklace example.. how often does someone say that word really? Didn’t click with me...

Eh, I prefer the infamous gif of Pocahontas jumping off a cliff as the dead gif. This just seems like a knockoff.

Originally posted by Supaspaz

I was about to tear this entry apart for having possibly the worst GIF choice of the week, but once again, your sense of humor completely won me over. The image is bizarre, and yet it completely works in the examples you've provided. I'm not sure it would ever catch on across the forum; if it did, though, I almost wouldn't be surprised.

Originally posted by Domino

This entry is a little too rainbow-ish for my liking.
However I can see this gif semi-smashing.

Too much explanation when I specifically said to let the gif do the talking. Also, I just don't get it all together. I don't see this working or catching on.
