Cone-ing is the new planking

Tubsandtiles · 31-07-2011 10:10am #1

With inspiration from the planking thread I said I would post this one, while planking and owling seems pretty stupid, cone-ing seems to be the new best thing. Well I guess its pretty stupid too but some of the McDonalds staff reactions are priceless..have a look here if you want to know what I'm rambling. The people of America wouldn't be happy when all the McDonalds staff go on strike

Gummy Panda · 31-07-2011 10:52am

There is a lot of retarded people with video cameras on the Internet these days

Potential-Monke · 31-07-2011 10:58am

Thats a pretty stupid fad now to be honest. At least planking was not affecting anyone, but this is retarded.

Son Of A Vidic · 31-07-2011 11:20am

What a sad fúck.

Chuck Stone · 31-07-2011 11:28am

I don't like it. I think it's rubbish. Planking is far superior to it.

The last one is genius....

Tubsandtiles · 31-07-2011 11:48am

I'm waiting for the news headline, "American McDonalds have been at the hand of recent terror attacks" when we all know its a government conspiracy to force McDonalds to shut down in America too reduce the weight problem

That was all indirectly related, the intention wasn't to annoy someone/get killed. Whereas with the cone-ing the intention is to get a reaction from someone just doing their job. I'm all for funnies, but not at the expense of people just doing their job.

Darksaga87 · 31-07-2011 2:31pm

Pfft, owling is where its at!

qz · 31-07-2011 4:03pm

I thought the video was gas, the last one had me in stitches.

partyatmygaff · 31-07-2011 4:20pm

It's relatively funny. Not fad-worthy though.

Parsley · 31-07-2011 8:24pm

do people not know how to pluralise words anymore? ffs. if it ends in 'e', you drop the e and add 'ing' -> coning. Cone-ing? retarded in spelling and in practice.

bluto63 · 31-07-2011 8:40pm

Pretty unfunny tbh...

CiaranMT · 31-07-2011 10:34pm

Not remotely funny.

4 million + views for this shìt?

It's harder to gauge what crap becomes popular than what actually worthy stuff.

Minstrel27 · 01-08-2011 10:37am

Planking was retarded so maybe this has a chance of catching on too.

thezapper · 01-08-2011 5:20pm

Come on people....get a sense of humour, and perspective. All of these stupid fads (planking, owling, cone-ing) are retarded....but for the first 5 mins they are kinda funny....I enjoyed the cone-ing video.....bit of a laugh

*whisper* I don't think it's supposed to be taken all that seriously!!!

Magic Beans · 01-08-2011 9:09pm

They are still planks regardless of what they are doing or how you spell it.

That's the idea of something funny, which these things ain't.

While what you say is correct (drop the e, add the ing), I feel you should understand the meaning of words you use when judging people on their use of the English language.

To pluralise something is to indicate that there is more than one of an object. Adding ing indicates that a verb is currently in action e.g:

work > working > worked
play > playing > played
open > opening > opened

Just thought you should know :pac:
