))<>((  //Back and forth. Forever. Reference to a scene from You, Me, and Everyone We Know (see clip). A child gets involved in a creepy discussion with someone online, and the symbol ))<>(( represents the child’s saying he wanted two people to “poop back and forth. Forever.” Gross, I know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQoJo81lujk

2012.  The impending disaster that the Mayans correctly predicted will destroy us all and our cynical, profane Western ways in 2012. Gabe frequently and rightly points out our impending destruction of which we, corrupt and decadent as we are, should be looking forward to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon

Andrew, don’t interrupt! Spoken in reply to trolls or overly-zealous nitpickers. From an edited clip (see link) about kids explaining how to use the web and one of the kids, Andrew, speaks over another child.  http://videogum.com/archives/webjunk/old_videos_explaining_how_to_u_096881.html

Bad idea jeans // good idea jeans. A tag given to bad ideas or good ideas. From an old Saturday Night Live sketch: http://www.hulu.com/watch/10310/saturday-night-live-bad-idea-jeans

Because ______ (EG, because jokes//because feminism). Frequently used sentence structure, omitting “of” for humorous effect.

Because that’s something that people do. A variation of this is often used to express sarcastically something that is, in fact, NEVER done by real people. http://videogum.com/archives/soap-operas/gossip-girl-all-the-world-is-l_059052.html

C’mon son! “It’s kind of like the black “Really? with Seth and Amy” from Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, except, you know, with a budget of $11.” http://videogum.com/archives/vlogging/ed_lover_has_a_vlog_now_096821.html

Clever girl. Frequent Gabe-ism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx6X_VLtfIc

Da Cake Eatur //”Iz u relly a skwirel?” Now-banned commenter who’s schtick, originally, was as a semi-literate buffoon with a gun-wielding monkey as an avatar. Sadly he began to change his profile name frequently and adopted increasingly less funny personas. Then his flouting of commenter rules resulted in his being banned. “Iz u relly a skwirel” was one of his more famous comments. http://videogum.com/user/37472-da_cake_eatur

Did you eat a clown for breakfast? A terrible line from The Lake House, oft-parodied. http://videogum.com/archives/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time-the-lake-house_080212.html

Don’t you TEST ME, hlebtastic. An indignant reply by commenter An American Patriot that thereafter was bandied at trolls or provocateurs. http://videogum.com/archives/friday_fight/friday_fight_what_do_we_fight_about_when_we_072912.html#comment-3815171

Eating the marshmallow. A clip demonstrated a study of children. The kids were told if they could refrain from eating a marshmallow for a few minutes when left alone in a room that they could get a second marshmallow. Children who couldn’t wait, the study showed, often grew up to be adults with poor self-control, wrecked lives, and criminal records. The video was very cute though! Commenters use it to refer to someone who has poor impulse control. http://videogum.com/archives/science/kids-participate-in-meaningful-psychological-studies-the-darndest-things_089721.html

Monsters’ Ball. “This week’s five highest rated comments as voted on by you, the lowest rated comment as voted on by you, and the editor’s choice.” At the end of each week, usually Friday around 5:30-6:00 EST, Gabe posts the comments of the week. Originally the votes were open to unregistered voters, but now they are limited to registered voters only. Tallies are counted from essentially Monday morning through the time MB is posted, so comments on Monsters’ Ball itself are NOT eligible for MB of next week. The first Monsters’ Ball: http://videogum.com/archives/monsters_ball/monsters_ball_the_weeks_best_c_073821.html

Mysteries are all around us. A common Gabe-ism. http://videogum.com/archives/hate-watching/the_jeff_dunham_show_is_the_wo_097221.html

From http://videogum.com/archives/photo/the_twilight_new_moon_premiere_101491.html?img=11&gfmt=e The poster Gabe was mocking actually read “Stupid Lamb,” which is a reference to the Twilight series: http://bestuff.com/stuff/and-so-the-lion-fell-in-love-with-the-lambwhat-a-stupid-lambwhat-a-sick-masochistic-lion

That’s your boyfriend/Whoops that’s your ___. Originally thought up by Lindsay and her friend Stephanie as a humorous put-down. This is one of the oldest running jokes on Videogum.  http://videogum.com/archives/thats-your-boyfriend/thats-your-boyfriend-fat-guy-who-licks-things_008924.html

We should all be so lucky. A tag Gabe uses for people who have out-of-the-mainstream fetishes or hobbies but, you know what?, those things make them very happy. I’m not sure if this is the source, but there is Kylie Minogue song with a similar title: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzv6a25m-1w

You mad. “For those of you who don’t know what this is, you should really know what this is, because it’s hilarious. A few years ago, Bill O’Reilly invited Cam’ron and Damon Dash to have a debate about the effect of hip hop on young people. Naturally, it was awful. But at two different points during the “debate,” Cam’ron just laughed and said “you mad” to whoever was talking, which is simultaneously the best and worst thing ever. Best because it is so funny, and you can take it with you as a funtimes reference. Worst because obviously it is so rude. Enjoy.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oLGjhpY9jM See also: http://videogum.com/archives/monsters-ball/monsters-ball-the-weeks-best-comments_081332.html#comment-4367441

Ya BURNT, Wes! From a video (see clip) where a kid washes his head with vagina wash and his father says “Ya BURNT, Wes!” as if he had fallen for the greatest practical joke of all time. It’s now used as sort of a “Gotch!” statment. http://videogum.com/archives/pranks_and_stunts/kids_wash_their_hair_with_vagi_096761.html

Yogurt cup//Yogurt cup stuck on your head. Referring to this video where a squirrel got a yogurt cup stuck on his head.  http://videogum.com/archives/cute-as-balls/lets-paint-exercise-and-get-ou_078922.html
