Proboscis Luke

    Proboscis Luke started as a a post in r/copypasta and had since been a niche joke within the Star Wars fans.

    When I was a kid I had a surreal and terrifying experience watching a VHS of the special edition of Star Wars: A New Hope with my mom. I believe this was the late 90's (1998?) but I can't give an exact date so I apologize, however I was approximately 11 or 12. Basically we were watching the part of the film where they're in the Death Star. At one point when confronted by stormtroopers, Luke's nose suddenly extended grotesquely into a strange flesh-colored elephant's trunk. It then flailed around making elephant trumpet sounds scaring the stormtroopers off. I vividly remember this, and I was absolutely terrified. My mom was really jarred and confused and trying to calm me down. Leia then says "that's enough Proboscis Luke" and his nose returned to normal. The film also continued on as normal. Every subsequent viewing of our VHS was completely normal, as with every previous viewing. We had already watched the film multiple times prior to the incident so that precludes it being some strange edited copy which would be weird in and of itself.

    Meng Hao walked into the McDonald’s. “Give me… a Happy Meal!”

      It was review by ‘Zackarotto‘ which parodies a Xianxia battle scene in a fast food joint for the web novel I Shall Seal the Heavens. Web novel enthusiasts often use it as a satire to poke fun at how Chinese web novels are written.

      Meng Hao walked into the McDonald's. The cultivator taking his order gave a derisive snort, but Meng Hao did not really care, because he had repressed his aura down to the Single Patty Realm, and a fool would not be able to tell his true level of burger eating.
      
      "Give me... a Happy Meal!"
      
      The cultivator's face flickered before he finally regained his composure and laughed. "You couldn't afford a Happy Meal. Get lost! Don't you see that there are Double Quarter Pounder Realm eaters waiting behind you?"
      
      Meng Hao slapped his bag of holding and threw 80 billion spirit McDonald's coupons onto the counter, causing an earthquake which demolished half of the restaurant. Everyone dropped their jaws. None could see how this was possible!
      
      "I'll take that Happy Meal with a side order of fries, " Meng Hao said. He was as calm as the ocean in a painting of an insanely calm ocean. "And let me see your manager!"
      
      The cashier cultivator coughed up a mouthful of ketchup. He simply could not handle Meng Hao's killing intent, because he was only at the Quarter Pounder with Cheese realm himself. Even though Meng Hao had suppressed his aura, because he had cultivated the Heavenly Burgin' Qi, this was enough to kill people a few levels higher if he truly wanted.
      
      It was then that another man which a much more fierce aura stepped forward. "You dare make trouble here?"
      
      "P... Patriarch Hamburglar!"
      
      Patriarch Hamburglar was 99 cents of the way into the Big Mac Realm, plus tax! Meng Hao was pushed back two feet, knocking over a soda machine. Powerade Mountain Berry Blast geysered outward, killing several onlookers.
      
      Of course, Mayor McCheese saw all this happen through the window.
      
      Meng Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood, snorted, constricted his pupils, and then his expression went calm. He unleashed the aura of 64 patties, condensed down to a 2 patty stack that could fit into his mouth!
      
      Mayor McCheese coughed up a mouthful of cheese. His pupils constricted.
      
      "Is this... Seeking the McRib stage??"
      
      Meng Hao had the gentle air of a scholar, but it wouldn't stop him from killing several people in a McDonald's.
      
      "Burger Devouring Scripture! I'm Lovin' It!"
      
      With the first keyword of the Burger Devouring Scripture, everyone below the early Quarter Pounder With Cheese stage exploded into purple mist. The light of the immense heavenly burger shone down with the contours of a golden arch as 9 illusory burgers floated around Meng Hao's body, which is probably an important xianxia number that matches the number of lakes in some sacred Chinese province I've never heard of. But that was only a fraction of Meng Hao's power. He waved his arm, bringing forth thirty more cultivation techniques that hadn't appeared in over 400 chapters!
      
      "Heavenly Tribulation Fries! Eastern Everburning Egg McMuffin! Fruit Smoothie Guillotine! Soul McCafe Mocha Incarnation!"
      
      Meng Hao's expression was the same as ever as he slapped his bag of holding, and brought out his karmic ketchup packet, Fry Cook Lord medallion, seventeen different wooden time spatulas, a five-coloured resurrection coupon, the silk burger wrapper, various souls of lightning McNuggets that he may or may not still have, and his mask of the legacy of Ronald McDonald. Oh, and the image of a flying Chicken Snack Wrap dragon appeared. Remember that? It was basically his Main Thing at the start of the novel, but quietly faded into irrelevance. Until now!
      
      All of this takes some time to describe, but actually happened in the space of only a few breaths.
      
      "What! Impossible!"
      
      Meng Hao wanted to summon the parrot as well, but it was too overcome with eroticism by the purple fur depicted on a nearby poster of Grimace, and was busy drilling out a glory hole straight through the poster, and the wall it was pinned to, with its strong parrot erection.
      
      But it was more than enough. The Hamburglar's soul flew out and was absorbed into his mask! He screamed as his body was destroyed completely.
      
      Meng Hao brushed off his robe and swept up his spirit coupons and everyone's bags of holding which probably didn't have any cool sh*t inside unless I write him into a corner later, and anyways, don't worry about it for now. He surveyed the rubble that was all that remained of the McDonald's.
      
      "Guess I'll be taking that Happy Meal... to go!"

      Ninja – “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset

        AKA ‘It’s just a game’ copypasta was a tweet from the streamer Ninja responding to a discussion on hyper-competive gamers ruining the gaming scene. The quote is often used a copypasta in competitive gaming discussions.

        The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice. 
        
        There’s always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle.

        I am not crazy! I know he swapped those pawns! I knew it was d5. One after d4

          By u/TheWaterUser, its the Chicanery copypasta but changed to chess specifically for en passant.

          I am not crazy! I know he swapped those pawns! I knew it was d5. One after d4. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got those idiot chess.com mods to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That queen side castle! Are you telling me that a king just happens to swap with a rook like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He blundered through a Sicilian Defense! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own ranked match! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was rated >900, always the same! Couldn't keep his pieces out of the middle! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Claiming "en passant"! And he gets to be a grand master!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-
