So Geeky

By JoCo June 12, 2007

Saw this on Waxy – LOLCODE, a coding language based on LOLCats. My favorite example is this HelloWorld routine:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE “HAI WORLD!”
KTHXBYE

Why in the world is this so funny to me?

The O'Rly book is what really makes that article.

Glenn Peters says

Ha, I hadn't noticed the O'Rly book before.

Stupid skimming.

Josh says

It's so funny to you because it is AWESOME. :)

Daniel says

The thing that cracks me up the most is that people have have already written utilities to translate LOLCODE programs into Python and a few other programming languages. It would be hilarious to distribute the source of a program in LOLCODE.

I hate to have to do this to you, but: http://yosh.org/hello1.jpg

Luke M says

I hate to have to do this to you

Obviously. I see that striking a "hipper than thou" pose is causing you real pain. Griefer.

g. says

So you could actually write a song about LOLcats that is also an application?

Daniel Johnson, Jr. says

I keep waiting for LOLMonkeys.

witten says

Luke, I meant that only in good fun. No grief involved.

KTHXBYE

Darias says

Mr Johnson:

It's here already: http://lolmonkeys.com/

PonderousMan says

Sweet god in heaven! And I thought C++ was unreadable...

This definitely counts as a sign of the Apocalypse... but it's still damned funny.

So how long until "degenerative code" becomes the new rage?

Luke M says

witten:

K

MY BAD

Amber N says

Probably for the same reason that I find these LOLBots picture so damn funny:

Just because they are.

manstraw says

this is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. i just can't think of a way to convey just how funny I find this. and i'm not being sarcastic, in case you thought that. now I want a joco song in lolcat.

I CAN HAZ JOCO FUNNY?

HAHAHA

Jonathan Ramsey says

That lolcat humor just reaches into your soul, rips out something important, sprinkles it with glee, then redeposits it... in your soul.

Calvin Spealman says

I honestly can say that I absolutely hate this LOLCODE stuff. Even worse being that so many implementations have been done so quick in my darling language: Python.

We are not amused.

Paul says

Gotta love GTFO as the "break" keyword! I also don't get why it's so funny but I found myself rotflmfao like the LOLrus. Oh dear, this has really gotten to me. KTHXBYE, er... peace out.

Vis Major says

Paul: I agree - "GTFO" is absolutely the best break keyword.

Andrea: I wish there were a real O RLY book.

JoCo: We can haz LOLsong now? KTHXBYE.

Darias says

I'm with Vis, a LOLsong would (soft)rock!

awryone says

This is all so eeky-gay.

Serti says

Speaking of geekspeak...an oldie but goodie, the IRC Bible... the one where Moses fought the Pharoah is classic but they're transitioning their site as well and it apparently remains in the wilderness. :*(

Rich says

Dude, you should totally do a song in all LOLCats speak.

I'M IN UR WEBSITES
DARING UR JOCOS!

danielk says

This LOLcode thing is clearly a litmus test, a device to separate the l33ts from the n00bs. Call the Aliens and let the culling begin.
