The seat-landing dude is the one saying “haters gonna hate”. Because he knows he’s cool.

1862

Yeah man you can tell by the way he looks off the side like “Psh, meant to do that, DUH”

1863

But one also has to account for the fact that the reason he landed on the bench in the first place was because he unintentionally hit the sign when he took-off.

1864

Deflection shot.

1865

I guess I’m just a hater. Carry on.

1866

In conclusion, “Haters gonna hate” is not sensibly applicable to that animation.

“I meant to do that” would have been more apropos.

1867

  1. I think the disconnect between what just happened and what is being said makes it even funnier

  2. “Haters gonna hate” should be always be delivered in a nonchalant manner and tone. Perhaps even a bit of an “Oh, well,” shoulder shrug and shake of the head that implies that you know you cannot change the behaviour of a hater (which is to hate). Put it together, and you have the same thing my cat does when it knows I’ve seen it do something completely retarded.

1868

This!

1869

Wouldn’t that be the “I meant to do that” walk?

1870

I dunno? My cat immediately starts to bathe itself. And then looks at me, shrugs, and says “Haters gonna hate.” I’ve had three cats that all behaved this way, so I assumed they all did.

1871

I’m thinking there’s some fundamental disagreement here regarding what “Haters gonna hate” means. As I’ve seen it used everywhere until this page of this thread, it’s specifically applicable to what a person does intentionally (albeit poorly, or in an unpopular manner). Accidental behavior doesn’t enter into it.

1872

PLEASE REFER TO POINT #1. “I meant to to that” is too on the nose. Not my brand of funny. You say something retarded after pulling off something like that, then I’m in. He could say anything. It’s that can’t-do-nothin’-about-it tone that makes it work for me. Don’t make me rationalize and justify what I find funny. I’m afraid about what I’d discover.

1873

Hate to tell you but: Neither do I!

Also, I can not find the animated picture of the strolling Michelin man, or the crowing eagle.

1874

As you’re already projecting your sense of humor onto your cats, I’m inclined to agree.

1875

The Skate .gif is applicable as it’s part of a series of glitch exploits. When the person did what they just did, they did it on purpose. The connection shouldn’t be with what is happening in the realm of the game, but on the act of doing something ridiculous, and he lands all chill, as he did it on purpose through the exploit of the game, and it was pretty funny, and because the guy is so chill looking (With the hat down tilted and his arm over the back in a relaxed pose), so as to say “People who necessarily may not agree that what I did was cool, it was indeed cool to me and therefore their opinion does not matter to me whatsoever,” often shortened to “Haters gonna hate.”

1876

While I agree with the general direction you’re heading, these sentences are miles apart from each other in meaning. “People who necessarily may not agree?” Those are instantly not haters. A hater hates, there’s no “maybe” about it.

1877

What else could “Haters gonna hate” mean?

1878

Regardless of events, facts, context, areas of experience, bodies of knowledge, values, morals, and beliefs, those who hate are going to hate. Even if he’d nailed that trick, a hater would have hated on that skater.

1879

Don’t bother with it, DGS. Haters gonna hate.

1880

It’s a stupid meme that needs to die. It doesn’t really need a meaning. ALL YUOR BASE!
