Pervin_medium_medium_medium

Automatic bid. Won Week 5 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs with 471 votes.

The backstory: porn actress Taylor Stevens resolved to stand directly behind the New Jersey Devils’ bench in an effort to distract the team. Coach Peter DeBoer glanced at her for 0.1 seconds. End of story. I have no ****ing clue how the Hell I won THIS WEEK IN GIFs. Between myself and JOACHIM LOW IS A JERK, we have a couple of winners in this tournament that probably do not deserve to be here. I’ll probably win this round for no reason.

(15) Hi, everyone. I’ve missed you! I am SHANE VICTORINO.

Special nomination. Finished fourth in Week 4 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs with 120 votes.

As you may recall, Shane Victorino was a member of the inaugural class of the Animated GIF Hall of Fame. He has demonstrated, more than any other baseball player, a tremendous dedication to falling down, stumbling, fumbling, and generally making an ass of himself.

And he just keeps on truckin’. When he gets up, he runs in the direction he figures the ball will be, which is the opposite direction of where the ball actually is. That wide turning radius kills me every time.

VOTE!
