Getting Dunked On: The New #1 Threat to People Everywhere

Because we live in the Twitter era, stuff can go viral at any moment. And that stuff could be anything. Usually, it’s something that 99.9% of people wouldn’t have even noticed if they saw it once. But it’s the whole viral part that makes you stop and say to yourself, Hey there’s that thing I know. From memes to catchphrases (YOLO), from planking to Tebow-ing, from “Gangnam Style” to “The Harlem Shake”…like I said, it literally could be anything. The next thing that goes viral will probably be a thing that you didn’t even know was thing until it became a thing…make sense?

Well, the next thing I hope goes at least a little bit viral (maybe dopes like me posting stuff about it will help a little) is dunking. Yes, it has to do with dunking a basketball. But no, it’s not about LeBron posterizing Jason Terry…well, maybe it is a little bit…but really it’s about regular everyday shmucks banging on one of their poor unsuspecting shmuck friends. Now, I think this is a little bit viral already…if that’s possible…I guess something is either viral or it’s not. Ahh, screw it! On to the GIFs!

1st, we have the GIF that might have started this whole idea, which was so aptly titled on certain GIF websites as “You Can Get Dunked On Anywhere.” It laid the foundation for everything else to follow. And as we see, you don’t even technically need any kind of hoop…just a dunker, someone who’s willing to be in on it, and a victim.

But if you want to get fancy, you can also dress up, get a larger group to be in on the prank, and use some nicer props. The trashcan worked in a pinch, but this one gets an “A” for choreography.

If you find a willing participant who’s foolish enough to be on the receiving end of a facial, even better yet.

And if dunking isn’t your thing, you can always play some defense. Even Gumby can get in on the act.

Wherever you are though, watch your back, watch your front, and watch your side…or else the next person that gets dunked on could be…Y…O…U.
