Dumped

Creepy hyper-realism + Old childhood cartoon = Creepy.


The text says:

This image was taken from a split second frame in a corrupted bootleg of the Spongebob episode 'Dumped.' Other than this image, the rest of the video is comprised of incomprehensible jumbles of colors, static, and black screens. The audio seems to be a heavily distorted version of the audio from the original episode, with loud, droning buzzes occasionally interrupting it.

The bootleg tape itself was found by five urban-exploring teenagers in a trash can within an abandoned mental institution. Of these five individuals, two have committed suicide, one has gone missing, one refuses to comment on the tape, and the last hastily agreed to give paranormal investigators the tape shortly after being interviewed about the suicide and the disappearances of the other three persons.

The current whereabouts of the tape are unknown, and many who stare at this image for a long enough period of time claim to see Spongebob blink.

  5. "Of these five individuals, two have committed suicide, one has gone missing, one refuses to comment on the tape, and the last hastily agreed to give paranormal investigators the tape shortly after being interviewed about the suicide and the disappearances of the other three persons."

    ... So wait... Two committed suicide, and one ran away... So wouldn't it be the disappearance of One person since the other two were found dead?

    1. No. Two committed suicide. One has gone missing, one refuses to comment on the tape, the final one gave the tape to paranormal investigators. That makes 5. Two suicides +1 disappearance = 3. Only 2 of the people are known to be alive. 3 + 2 = 5.

  7. It blinked while I was reading, really freaked me out.

    I slammed the lid of my laptop shut and ran away with my arms flailing around in the air.

  8. Ooookkkaaay, that's weird, it would only appear to blink when I stared straight at it....when i would blink rapidly, but never long enough or close enough to miss it blinking, its eyes stayed open, or when i would look out of the corner of my eye, even if I really tried to look for it blinking...

  9. Didn't take too long to guess it was a gif. I haven't waited for it to blink, but I did drag it to my desktop, gave it a click, and saw all it's frames. Woo. Big deal. It isn't even realistic.

  10. I saw the blink as well was semi freaked till i right clicked and saved.just to find out it's a gif file.Encase your wondering thats a image format that allows you to add in animations.Ie like a pre timed blink.

  12. I like how there's "residue" from what looks like a clone-stamp tool of some kind near where his mouth should be. Don't know why, it just amused me for some reason

  17. Strange... I downloaded this gif and viewed it with quicktime and got 25 seconds of black screen... D:

  18. I sat there for a minute waiting for it to blink. Didn't see anything. But I did notice that the white (Or rather reddish-pink in this case) part of his eyes almost had a glow to it, it was changing from white to a light red to pink and back to white...

  19. I don't think it's working properly. Sometimes it blinks, other times it doesn't.

  29. "Blink" doesn't look like a word anymore

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think it's set to play the blink frame at different intervals. Sometimes after 10 seconds, then 30, etc. etc.

    You can do that you know.

    Also, bad shoop is bad.

  31. OH CRAP I SAW IT BLINKKKK DXXXXXXX

    ReplyDelete
  32. I SAW IT BLINK! wait... it was just me

    ReplyDelete
  33. Heh...right when the GIF came into action, a door slammed in my house, so the video actually came off as frightening. However, I fail to see how obviously MS Paint'd eyes equal "hyper realism".

    ReplyDelete
  34. everyone saying that it blinks it doesnt he just glares at you closing his eyes just a little thought it was really dumb

    ReplyDelete
  35. LOL TY fireworks! saw all the frames in this...the first frame is held out for like 2500 seconds, then blinking animation, and then it's held out for like another 60000 seconds xD

    ReplyDelete

  37. the blink freaked me out a bit, but i could swear he blinked totally, when opened in another window, i stared the fuck out of the eyes, which alone gave me chills, it wouldnt blink, past 10 seconds it didnt, when i was about to close the window, it did blink but i caught up and noticed it DOES NOT CLOSE the eyes completely which freaked me for real.

    plus: when trying to post this comment, it automatically chose "audio" recognition, and guess what, fucking SPONGE BOB talking if fucking weird languages.FUCK THIS IS FUCKING CREEPY look:

  38. Regular cleaning and lubrication of your chain will helproad bike carbonprevent your drivetrain from wearing out. You should clean and lubricate the chain when it is dirty, dry or begins to sound noisy. If you ride every day, you should clean and lube the chain at least once a month.
    Chain Lubricants
    I don’t recommend using either motor oil or 3in1 ICAbike01 oil to lubricate the chain.carbon mountain bikeMotor oil is too heavy and won’t fully penetrate the rollers, and 3in1 oil is vegetable based and will gum up the chain. I also don’t recommend using wax lubricants because while they don’t collect as much dirt, they are a lot of hassle to apply correctly, and wax is simply not as good a lubricant as oil. I do recommend mineral based chain oils like Finish Line Cross Country or Phil Wood Tenacious Oil because they do the best job of fighting corrosion and don’t wash away when they get wet.
    For cleaning, first shift the chain into the smallest sprocket on the rear. For average dust and dirt, wipe the chain clean with a solvent soaked rag. The easiest way to do this is to hold the chain still at the rear derailleur cage while firmly wiping the lower run of the chain. Then move the chain backward and wipe again until you’ve wiped the entire length of chain. Wipe between the rear sprockets using either a rag or a sprocket cleaning tool. Then clean all of the front chainrings on both sides.
    Chain Lubrication
    Shift your gears into the middlebike carbon fibersprocket both front and rear. Remember that oil does a good job of spreading itself, so try not to over-apply the lubricant. Lubricate the inner circumference of the chain, on the side that faces the sprockets along the top of the lower run of the chain. Run the chain backwards while dropping oil down both sides of the rollers.
    Shift through all of the gearszipp 404to spread the lubricant evenly through the drivetrain. Then use a rag to wipe off any excess oil.
