4chan GET Encyclopedia

From lurkmore wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search


A GET is a post that was, for example, posted as the first reply of a post (2GET) or to mark milestone posts, especially in /b/, such as 10,000GET, 100,000GET, 11111GET, 23456789GET, etc. The desirability of achieving a GET originated on 2chan and rapidly adopted by 4chan. When a new posting milestone is near, /b/'s already high rate of posting increases tremendously, as the /b/tards scramble to score a GET. GETs often create new memes, which is the primary reason that they are considered desirable. GETs were originally only left to /b/, however, interest in GETs increased on /a/, probably due to the board having enough posts for high-number GETs to occur, and has since spread to other boards. In true /b/tard tradition, when a GET is seen as shitty it is blamed on the mods, as unreasonable as that might be.

The concept of GET originated on 2channel, where 2GET and 1000GET, the first and last possible replies to a thread, are the ones considered desirable, but is modified on 4chan due to 4chan being primarily imageboards rather than text-based message boards. On the text boards, 2ch style GETs are sometimes seen.

GETs on boards other than /b/ are noticed and celebrated as well, especially on the larger boards such as /v/ and /a/, though they rarely get as much attention as /b/'s GETs. Sometimes, boards will try to "steal" GETs from each other, with their memes. /b/'s 10M "HazukiGET" is sometimes considered to be stolen by /a/ - in turn, /a/'s 1M MilhouseGET is considered to be a /b/ or /co/ theft, and so on. Much myth surrounds these since the distinction between board userbases isn't nearly as clear as some would like you to believe - and if /b/ with its massive force tries to steal a GET, it's over anyway.

failGET

A failed attempt at a GET is known as a FAILGET (or failGET), a term which is also used to describe a GET that wasn't interesting in the least (the post just sucked). Conversely, an awesome GET is sometimes called a WINGET (winGET).

It is standard to respond to failed GET attempts, such as an Anon trying for 2GET and being the 3rd post of a thread, to call out Anon's failures and to humiliate him for failing so badly at life.

modGET

At some point, code was added to 4chan to automatically sticky GETS, this feature caused consistent controversy whenever it was used, which led Anon to yell MODGET, especially when they thought the GET was a failGET. Though it seems auto-sticky has since been disabled, likely due to moot realizing how idiotic that is, Anonymous still claims modGET every so often.

First GETs

/b/ was reset several times during 4chan's initial, chaotic incarnations. The first GET did not arrive until April 2004.

100 on /jp/
Cirno, with the image from 6666666 on /a/. Failed at getting 99. 99 was a text post of "Don't you think you're overreacting? We appreciate a new board but the reason all that was in /a/ was because it has its own community. Stuff happens on /a/ that you can't quite get anywhere else, and if you want to talk about vn's or something it was the place you were most likely to find someone with a shared interest"
999 on /jp/
Overdrive animated gif from Touhou, in a Cirno thread. The user's name was ➈ ➈ ➈ ➈ ➈ ➈ ➈ ➈ ➈. Close enough that he should stop trying until it's time for 6666 and 9999.

"I has a flute" Since 100KGET was an off-topic, utter /b/tard failget that was promptly deleted, it was agreed upon in the aftermath to nominate a picture of Shirou Emiya holding a sword drawn by tripfag Velox edited into Chikane Himemiya holding a flute by tripfag Kebinu as the 'honorary' 100K get.

April 8, 2007. Slyde Get. A random reply by Anonymous containing only the text "Slyde", referring to an obscure Marvel Comics villain who has a following on /co/ due to a highly amusing appearance in a somewhat recent Spider-Man issue, in which he tries to act like he's Spidey's arch-rival and utters lines such as "Did you not see the Slyde Punch?". Due to Slyde's popularity on the board, it was considered a WinGET despite its ordinary nature.

April 30, 2007. Slyde Get 2. Unlike the first Slyde Get, this one was a deliberate attempt by the tripfag "███████Tripfag████████ !REDREDLOGo" (800K was also the first time the /co/mrades actually flooded the board in pursuit of a GET). It contained the text "SURAIDO GET!" (Engrish for "SLYDE GET", thus implying that Tripfag is a weeaboo), and a picture of Slyde being shot in the head during the Civil War: War Crimes one-shot, which is the 4th and most recent time that Slyde has been killed. While the GET received a somewhat mixed response (as it depicted the death of a /co/ favorite), it was mostly considered another WinGET. Especially in light of it defeating a TrollGET attempt (a picture of Iron Man, who's widely hated on /co/, and the text "All hail", which ended up as /co/'s 799999th post. This FailGET was considered highly appropriate. The other near-miss, at 800001, was a picture of Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition, with no text. This was considered awesome because, appropriately, no one expected it. Some argued that it would've made a better GET than Slyde, but others felt that its appearance immediately after the GET was even less expected and thus more appropriate.

'Does Marvel know at all how much Sally Floyd is hated?
Like, has someone stood up at one of those editor panels at the convention and yelled into the mic "THAT FUCKING WHORE NEEDS TO DIE!"?'
Upside-down 616 GET (the number of the Marvel universe). Sally Floyd is a dumb bitch reporter that told Captain America he's a bad superhero because he doesn't have a MySpace, or watch American Idol or NASCAR. She, along with Captain America's non-response to her bullshit, also represents the fact that Marvel writers have forgotten that Captain America was unfrozen decades ago, not yesterday, and thus is well aware that it's no longer the 1940s.

April 07, 2005 @ 06:27. 1 million get on /b/ was an image of a sketch of Sae Sawanoguchi, from the anime Magic Users Club, in sexual bliss.
Seconds later, the post was deleted and mods stickied another post with the picture of a budgie in a jar, originally named 'Bonzai Budgie' but quickly dubbed 'Bottle Budgie'. The post number was also changed to be 1000000 with many users believing the original 1M GET was false in preference of this.

September 16, 2006. 1M GET on /a/ was an image of Milhouse in a tuxedo, standing triumphant with the text "MILHOUSE GET". Widely considered the greatest get ever or the worst get ever, depending on if you were trolling or not.
The gigantic red "X" and word "NO" that was subsequently edited over the picture thumbnail has contributed to the widespread belief that the GET was fixed by the mods. The thread was stickied and remained at the top of /a/ for days, igniting a shitstorm of argument. It was mainly Haruhi fans, who know nothing about computers, who created conspiracy theories about the mods cheating them out of a GET by using a fake MySQL failure just before the GET happened (Haruhi got 1000001). Dozens of calls went out for the picture to be deleted as Milhouse was not only not a meme, but also off-topic; the mods ignored these calls, which all but assured it was a modGET.

June 05, 2007. failGET. During the flood of /co/ by /a/ and several other boards just before the get, the actual 1M Get wound up as a deleted image (believed to be of Myron Reducto from the cartoon Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law) simply stating "Reducto Get" next to it. Later the members of /co/ decided they wanted to pretend they had a good get and created a new image. The image comprises of a newspaper with a picture of supervillain Hank Scorpio reading " Supervillain Seizes 1M GET", with the theme tune for Hank Scorpio (from the credits of the Simpsons episode Scorpio originates from) posted with it. This new GET has been called the RETCON GET, the term used for changing or adding information, used heavily in most comics.

Comments consisted mostly of rage and cheer from the native /ck/ as they were relieved that /b/ did not get the GET. Considered an epic GET since it was stolen from /b/ without /v/ or /co/ having to spampost. This may be the first GET where two boards successfully collaborated in order to steal it from /b/.

March 27, 2007. Photograph of a woman with a mouth full of Nilla Wafers cookies. As the get neared, posting increased to such a furious pace that the entire ten pages was wiped clean in under fifteen seconds, and the get itself survived less than five seconds on the board before it too was pushed off. Multiple sources providing screenshots confirmed the get, at which point /a/ erupted in furious protest. The get had usurped attempts by at least four different factions (Haruhi fans, Touhou fans, Jun Watarase fans and Death Note fans) to claim it. Most infuriated were the latter group, who had hoped to secure the get with an image of the famous "JUST AS PLANNED" scene from Death Note, the anime version of which had just aired earlier that day. (Some trolls cracked that this was in fact "JUST AS PLANNED" to deny them the get.) Most of the vitriol was directed at the mods, featuring unusually harsh language; (one /b/-type image somehow squeezing in among a flood of anime images, a MySQL error just as the get happened, etc.) and, even worse than Milhouse, the image was a photograph, not even drawn (it wasn't even an amusing image to begin with). Most users believed /a/ gets could not possibly get worse than 2M; as usual, the power of FailGET was tragically underestimated.[4]

Many Anonymous considered this as a WinGET since the many epic FailGETs in /a/, though there was some limited dissent, especially among those attempting to score the GET for Jun.[5] It was followed immediately by a post containing a pic of Slowpoke and text claiming it to be a Mod GET. It was to moments later with another Slowpoke pic and the text "Damnit".[6] Given that missing a GET by exactly one post is just as impossible to time as the actual GET, SlowpokeFailGET most likely really was the work of the mods.

"conti get". Approved by Anonymous but considered a Semi-FailGET. Firstly, newfags assumed it was a Gurren-Lagann GET because of the wallpaper's style (although GAINAX produced both FLCL and said show); /m/orons also tried to say they stole the get, despite Canti being a ROBOT that isn't necessarily placed in the MECHA category. Secondly, the OP was using Windows Vista along with his real name "Phil" present on his desktop (thankfully "Phil" didn't use a tripcode). Thirdly, Canti's name wasn't even spelled correctly.

However, the irony is quite delicious. (Kittan was "redeemed" later in the day by 6111111 "GET": a topic consisting of a screenshot from the infamous episode 4 depicting Kittan and his 3 sisters waving their rear-ends around, accompanied by text linking to the post itself.

New Dracula GET. Image of Graham Jones from Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow with the text "NEW DRACULA GET".

Due to recent Naruto chapters of him fighting village-destroyer Pain, a flash of Gaiafag mobs invaded /a/ with this forced meme featuring Naruto wearing Kamina's glasses, thus the deeper shithole /a/ already is. 19000001 was also GARUTO get. True get was Imoutits at 18999999.

January 13, 2007. One of many threads posted in the great flood; the picture was of an owl fancifly carved out of a watermelon with the macro "HOLY SHIT - THIS IS AWESOME", accompanied by text "random get!". Considered to be not a great GET, but not a bad one either. Also noted that 18999999 and 18999998 were the Cockmongler and :3chan respectively.

January 30, 2007. Second DESU GET was got in a Suiseiseki flood. Picture was of Suiseiseki (obviously) and text was a flood of "desu" (obviously). Significant because it's the first repeat GET in 4chan history, not counting minor GETs. [56]
19969661
February 02, 2007. A picture of some CounterStrike terrorists, with the text "These men are mooninites." This was a test on the terrorist->mooninite wordfilter, and was a win (though the post that pointed out that it was a special number won more). The relevance of the number is that it is indeed an upside down reverse palindrome GET.

February 03, 2007. Naked Asian chick. Fail get. Upon taking a closer look, 20000001 was the same exact picture as 20M get, except it had the text "THAT FUCKING CAT!" next to it. Due to the large amount of MySQL errors around the time, some believe 20000001 was actually the real 20M get. Not even stickied. Upon being clicked, the image was really an image of Naruto. The post's full image when clicked.

February 22, 2007. Picture of Natalie Portman, with the text Portman GET. The fail of the get is masked by the fact that seconds after it was posted, it was sage'd off of 4chan due to the massive spam.

February 25, 2007. Text in a grouphug.us style topic, simply stating "I think I might like the cock." Debated as to whether or not it was a win or fail.

March 04, 2007. In a thread which was trying to get 21.6M get but ended up getting the 21599950th post. But on the 3rd post in the thread, someone replied and that which just so happened to be 21.6M GET. There were debates on whether this was a fail get, but the majority of the thread were saying it was a Win GET, most likely because of the irony. [57]

March 14, 2007 at 18:42:18. It featured a fat woman with the accompanying post "FATGET". OP was banned soon after, and "FATGET" was wordfiltered to "I AM A HUGE FAGGOT. PLEASE RAPE MY FACE." in large bold font with the <blink> tag. Generally accepted as lesser win, at the least.

22800000
March 24, 2007 at around 2PM GMT. OP posted a picture of what can only be assumed was himself, and the post made directly after that were the words "WELL TEN". While this is still a 'meme-in-progress' most /b/tards know that the perpetuation of such faggy memes will cause insta-death. Considered epic fail.
23000000
March 26, 2007 at 14:07:18. Morons think this is a modGET due to the numerous MySQL connection failures occurring directly before the GET as well as screenshots of what appears to be a sticky without a picture, because they are morons and don't understand the internet. Also, Pokemon GET. An hour or 2 after, the OP of the GET was banned, due to the fact that moot and the admins are trying to return /b/ back to its former glory.

"Epic Fail get," a picture of Epic Fail Guy with the text "I REALLY WILL." Due to it being epic fail guy, this was automatically considered a fail get. Wasn't even stickied. Ironically, an attempt at 24M GET which ended up being 24000001 was an Epic Fail Get.

26000001 was considered the true GET. It was an image of Slowpoke with text: "Hi guys, am I late for 25M GET?" It was an enjoyable because Slowpoke was not only late for not only late for 25M but one post late for 26M.

Most of which /a/ secretly enjoyed, so the internal raid was fail. It is unlikely that 28M was /a/'s doing, as /a/ at the time was busy spamflooding itself with Lucky Star threads and would likely have chosen same for /b/'s consumption.

June 16, 2007. A fairly controversial GET of the anime versions of the Power Puff Girls surrounded by Cartoon Network American characters with the Anonymous text, "Shit. Getting closer".

Although the text implies that the image may be CP, the image was not deleted due to it being impossible to tell. Mixed reaction, with about 1/3 of /b/tards claiming WinGET, 1/3 claiming FailGET, and 1/3 claiming "35600000 is NOT A GET you fucking newfags!" [64]

August 12, 2007. DraeneiGET. Fanart of a topless female draenei (a race of World of Warcraft) with the text "am i a meme yet?". Regarded as an even bigger FailGET than 35M.

August 17, 2007. FaithGET. A picture of Faith, the bipedal dog, with the text "36500000GET." As is the norm with GETs these days, it was first considered a winGET, then a failGET, and then just a fucking argument. However, there is also an argument if the 100k/500k GETs are even considered GETs anymore.

August 21, 2007 Tuesday at 08:25:36. An obvious newfag and/or gaiafag trying to be epic with a GET. But he failed even worse than EFG by putting "36900000 get?" Questioning his attempt and courage at trying to make a GET. He also failed again when he posted an object used by virgins.

August 22, 2007. A picture of Slowpoke with the text "OH THE IRONY". It was instantly considered a failGET by everyone except the usual newfags that think everything is "EPIC."

August 26, 2007. Just the letter "u" as part of a reply for "sux" in 3 separate posts to a looking up picture of a guy wearing only a skirt and having his cock dangling.

A picture of a BOX FULL OF AIDS with the caption "I BELIEVE THIS IS YOURS". /b/ doesn't realize that modgets don't actually exist because /b/ is full of a bunch of children that don't know anything about 4chan. Almost all of the old school 4channers have left 4chan because of this. Either way, it cannot be considered a FailGET due to the fact that it is strangely appropriate for the current state of /b/.

As a matter of fact, this also broke 4chan and all of servers had to be fixed immediately after the rush of /b/tards trying to get this non-get. /b/ really lost the game on this one. By the way, you just lost the game.

40404040
September 23, 2007. EFG's feet, which was the third part of an EFG combo. This is coinsidered a triple-failGET, because 1. it's EFG, 2. it's a combo, and 3. 3-piece combos don't count as real combos and are rightfully considered fails. What made this GET humorous, however, was this. The objective stated by the OP was a "3-hit fortune combo". This, effectively, was what EFG got.

hij/a/cked GET. A picture of Kira from Death Note in a thread which proclaimed "The 50555555get will be fail." Originally called a failGET, but upgraded to a semi-decent get after the newfags settled down. The thread also marked the return of Yami, who got 50557755, a collection of five fives.
