There was a lot to love in Week 19 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs. Baseball was as silly as is always is, South Carolina’s Ace Sanders ripped off one of the most impressive punt returns in recent memory, and we gave one last look to the brilliant ineptitude of the NFL’s replacement officials.

This Week In GIFs results: Tommy Hunter scores decisive victory
In Week 19 of This Week In GIFs, Tommy Hunter’s still-life home run celebration took 33 percent of the vote to secure the win.
... TOMMY HUNTER.
As I noted on Friday, it took me a minute to figure out whether or not this was a “real” GIF -- in other words, one that hadn’t been doctored. It isn’t, of course.

Is the pink-faced orc from Return of the King. Just standing there not moving while shit rains down around him and everybody else freaks out.

If anyone were to ask me, I would suggest that Hunter does indeed fall short of the legendary Dan Majerle GIF here, but that it’s a completely deserving winner.
Thanks for another fun week, everyone. Tune in Friday, when we’ll be voting on Week 20. To check out the rest of the THIS WEEK IN GIFs archives, click here.
