They can be overused, but they can also be funny. I think that's the point of this thread. How can we accommodate the people who like gifs and accommodate the people who hate gifs. I think there's a middle ground that most of us can agree on. I like the idea of having pro-gif posts where people can let their gif flag fly.
Although I am confused by intensity of the gif hate. I get the technology complaint. Some people visit Videogum on phones or net-books or izunes that can't handle lots of gifs, but I don't understand how they hinder discussions. Like, if I see a gif that I don't like or don't think is funny, I don't think it prevents me from posting a funny/insightful/brilliant comment (this never happens, I'm speaking in hypotheticals). I'm not trying to cause a ruckus, I've just seen that posted before and I don't understand it.
A weekly gif roundup is an awesome idea. I also think the Thursday night TV open thread should continue with the gifs, there's only so much you can say about comedy shows other than quote them, and gifs are basically moving picture quotes.
In the season 2 episode "Sandwich Day" Jack moves to the 12th floor. I don't remember what the 12 floor looks like, but I do believe it was supposed to look weird and/or creepy.

For the tl/dr crowd: the producers want Catherine Tate for the job, but she's doing a play this summer so it might not be.
I'm glad he apologized AND confirmed he is NOT a Nazi. At first I was all "he's sorry, but he's still a Nazi, so I'm still mad." But then I was all "Oh, he's NOT a Nazi, that's a relief!" Now I watch Anti-Christ knowing this is a perfectly normal guy, who is NOT a Nazi.
I don't want to click on any of the above links, especially that "bug chasers" link. I'll assume we'll be catching these bugs:

I can't add much to That One's eloquent response. i will say that I don't think Trump is racist. I think he picked an issue that he knew would get him press for his TV show. "Is Donald Trump running for President? He can't announce until after the season finale of Celebrity Apprentice™" I don't know if that makes it better or worse. Worse, probably.
I watched this last night. Is it real? This can't be real, right? Is there a Geordie Shore? Do real English people call it that? Are there any UK Monsters who can confirm any of this? I'm going to take a nap now.
