So, who created the amazing Vinny Status Confirmed .gif...

...and can we look forward to a new one featuring scenes from The Martian when available? I just saw the movie tonight, and there are a couple of moments (it being a movie about space and all) that would be EXCELLENT for this purpose.

I have no idea what you're talking about. You need to tell people about the topic of your threads.

I found this on google, I assume it's what he's talking about.

@advenger: That's the one. My apologies. It pops up so often in comments I assumed it was fairly commonly known. My bad.

This was mostly just a goofy way to mention the movie. Anyone see it? I thought it was a really fun watch.

Honestly, when people started cheering in the movie I immediately thought of that exact gif.

I don't know if a new one is really necessary, considering Vinny is to the Eastside what Jeff was to early Westside: he's kind of going to be in everything for a while.

Oh, I remember that! Yeah, that is a good GIF.

I can't tell you who created it, but it is a work of art. It has been around for a few years, perhaps even five or so.

I had no problem knowing what you were talking about.

I see that gif at least once a month. It's a fantastic gif.

My favorite .gif. I was in tears when I first saw it.

It's the "face = tick" at the end that really brings it home.

It's all about Jeff Status now.

Vinny confirmed is now Bakalar confirmed for East.

@mlarrabee: That's a good point. I am just as happy with the Bakalar one for it now. There's a brief spot from Time's Square in The Marian that would be perfect!

it's from neogaf iirc

Is it that old? I first saw it shortly after Curiosity landed, and assumed that's where it came from

I definitely agree.

yeah it used to be posted in the neogaf thread all of the time

Isn't there a website that generates these automatically?

@pkmnfrk: the gif was floating around when I first started coming here in 2010, so yeah, it's that old.

That's literally impossible. The footage is from August 2012.

@bisonhero: I'll admit I could be mistaken, I may have my years and the time frame mixed up but I remember it from around the time I started coming here.

The community makes a ton of great .gifs but I don't think making a random thread about a random .gif is great.
