That puts you up there with this one hit wonder who worked in a Chip Shop in New Malden, Surrey (UK):

" Does Pullin' a Brad have a specific thread it was mentioned in? "
The term actually originated back to their days at Gamespot, but it didn't become prominent until Quick Looks became a feature on Giant Bomb. "
What bought it up? "
Gamespot had a weekly live show called On the Spot in which theyd play games live and so on, Brad died a couple times when he showed some games (y'know, cause its Brad). When Justin Calvert was showing a game he nearly died and said "nearly pulled a Brad!" "
Adding it now, any original footage from the show? "
Apparently i got it slightly wrong, Brad was playing Ultimate Ghosts 'n' Goblins and died alot and then Justin said it, i found a link to it happening just finding the timetamp...

@NekuSakuraba: 
http://uk.gamespot.com/video/6154424 
ok so Brad plays Ghosts n Goblins and starts at 18 minutes in
Justin Calvert says "so forgive me if i do a brad" at 28 minutes in while playing Ape Escape: Million Monkeys
so now the question is when did "do a brad" become "pull a brad"?

I think the meme documentation should stop although it's funny. For comparisons sake it's like playing a game with a walkthrough by your side. Laziness sets in and a lot of content can be missed (I did this in my second playthrough of Grim Fandango, and I regretted it a lot because I missed so many things from the first). You can't experience a site like GB without looking around and finding good stuff from other people. Some people will just read the answers and say "oh well" and go somewhere else without giving GB / WM a chance. 
 
p.s. Yes my post count is stupidly low and maybe you think I shouldn't express an opinion, but that's because I f'd up my registration when I subscribed, and I thought there was an account username + a profile thing going on and I signed up with the other name. I'm leveling up quickly enough anyway so I'm not bothered.

@mekon: Of course, someone may need a walkthrough only for a small portion of the game. Similarly, someone might hear something on the Bombcast or whatever and wonder "What's the deal with that?", so I think it is helpful to have them documented in some form. You can look up the one thing you want to know about and then leave. You are not required to read any more than that. Resist the temptation.

Bro, don't let your post count get in the way of voicing your opinion. If you gotta say something, just say it; so long as it isn't something amazingly stupid, no one'll mind.

@LordAndrew: I agree about a walkthrough being useful, I don't have the time to sit through the really awkward puzzles if I'm getting frustrated. I just think that if people asked questions about memes as they appear in posts and were rewarded with answers in the forum, then it would encourage people to use search. I think a lot of people have found themselves in Wikipedia for half an hour, initially looking at something like "Amiga" and ending up knowing about Babylon 5 or other stuff.

"Uh uh uh uh uh" became a meme because The New Yorker ran an article in which they described the Bombcast as "charmingly garrulous" and quoted Ryan from the cast describing AC2 and how much he loved stabbing dudes in the face and neck and how one attack had you stab a dude to death.  And when you wrote it out instead of listening to it, it made Ryan seem like a fucking psychopath.

No need for credit - just toss it in however you want.  I'd write out the full quote of Ryan from the third column in the New Yorker, that's really what made it hilarious.

Duder was around before The Big Lebowski. One notable film example is Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (probably not that big a surprise).

This is a great thread. Only been on GiantBomb for a month or two and i'm glad i caught up on all these. 
 
I watched the E3 2010 thing recently (im working my way back through the podcasts) and had read about the $775m thing 
 
That was hilarious, and she kept going on. Best line was ''i declare that an illegal amount of money". 
 
But the most funny thing i think i've heard on the site was the video of them talking about the 'Never' woman from Nintendo's E3 2009 press conference  - i had to watch it three times - and GameCop; "shouldn't you be stopping a rape?" 
 
thanks for collecting all of these for recent converts to the GiantBomb way of life

People always used to post this image in the comments whenever the lasted episode of the P4 ER gets corrupted and goes straight to the "Duder, it's over!" screen.

Consider yourself lucky that the spiders didn't become a meme, and hope the meme guide doesn't become a meme.
