Zabuza is good (with his obscure English history references), but I’m better!
Can’t let you do that, Guy Fawkes.

Stumble It!
Did I ever mention I love this song?
I hope we get more StarWolf submissions. :D
I gotta say, not impressed.
It plays off of this one:
http://www.halolz.com/2008/04/24/i-cant-let-you-brew-that-starbucks/
i love these. the subtitle thing is jsut as good as the one in the pic.
I think this will generate more clones. Anyways, this is a good one!
this is a jeopardy level lol… you laugh, you learn, we all come away better people
You get points for the obscure Vendetta reference, but Wolf stands out too much in that picture. I think it would’ve been better if you had tried to make him look like he was part of the picture.
@Selv, yeah that would be cool

i just hope this doesn’t lead to more clones because it can only go down hill from here
lol, wtf is a guy fawkes? French people are so retarded!
>:O
I thought the Starbucks one was wittier. This one was pretty good, but I can see a meme forming in the distant future.
Oh boy…I don’t like where this is going………..OVER 9000 bad memes later.
I like this just because it’s a pun AND a historical reference. Maybe if we only accpeted one of these a year the joke could stay funny.
@ John: Obscure ENGLISH History references…
Basically, him trying to suicide bomb the King gave us November 5th, our (original) version of the 4th of July Fireworks and fires and stuff… the joke would work better without the Guy I think, but still pretty damn LOL.
fawke youuuu
@Crest: Yeah… It would have been more smooth-sounding with just “Fawkes”
Why all the “I can’t let you do that” ones lately?
Video game characters always makes British history better.
ahhh yess
guy fawkes wanted to blow up parliment
Guy:IM GOING TO PLANT THE BOMB
Although someone tipped off guards and they found and caught him…star wolf must have been on duty…then he was executed
I hardly think it’s obscure. I mean, it was only a plan to blow up parliment. The man was hung, drawn and quartared. His head was outside the tower for over a year. The idea of burning a ‘guy’ on a bonfire is named after him. Theres not a Brit alive who doesn’t know Guy Fawkes. Just because the US doesn’t have it, doesn’t make it obscure, just american ignorant.
Man, that sounds really accusatory, it’s not meant to be, but I’m not keen on my history being degraded. Especially when we have so much more of it that america.
As for the pic, I like it. The fawkes/fox pun is cool. Nice to see a clever one going on the British reference.
Good, but not as good as Starbucks
Someone set us up a bomb o.O?
@L L + P
Just becuase it’s well known in England and obscure in American doesn’t mean we’re ignorant. There’s plenty of obscure American people, facts and dates you Brits would have no clue about but that doesn’t make you ignorant. A little compassion and empathy will get you a long way my friend. ;-)
Remember, remember, the fifth of November!
Extra bonus points for referencing obscure (to us Americans, as L L + P pointed out) history that inspired a semi-obscure book that inspired an underrated movie!
lol, I love wierd references.
It’s not obscure to me because I watched V for Vendetta
Lol, thanks guys.
I’m American, by the by; I just thought this was a classic reference.
@selv, yeah I know. I couldn’t figure out a shadow that would work with the old timey background.
@Crest and Boreas, I was told it was pronounced “Ghee”, kinda like G in girl and a long e sound.
Crap! I’m trying to think of a barrel roll joke here… can someone help me?
Really there’s not much to a barrel roll joke, unless you’re playing donkey kong or something
Barrels of gunpowder?
Was the Starbucks one the beginning of a new meme?
This one was pretty funny, but I still like the Starbucks one a bit better..
FAWKES! THERE’S A BOMB IN THE BASE!
Do a barrel (of gunpownder) roll!
I’m sorry, but this one blows the other one away. Full of win.
Warning: meme under construction
I like them both, but this is much more win than the Bucks one…
Wolf is everywere making sure people can’t do things.
Hehe, that was the LAST thing i expected on halolz. Still great though. I need to think up one of these…
5 stars
@smashpro1,
barr-rolls of gunpowder?
Someone set up us the bomb. (someone had to say it)
wtf is a parliament?
I stand by what I said when I said French people are retarded.
@John
First off, It’s English.
Secondly, No one appreciates your flaming of the French.
Au revoir, mon ami.
@ John: … what is a parliament?
It’s a British version of Congress (if you ask what a congress is I’m gonna have to ask where your from)
@ Zabuza: I wasn’t around in the 16th century but I’m fairly confident we still said it Guy like “Guh-Eye” (that was hard to work out >_>). Ghee Fawkes woulda flowed better though, I agree, so I see where it was coming from.
@ Crest : When i got taught about Guy Fawkes in school, i remember our teacher telling us that’s where the word ‘Guy’ came from, so i doubt it was ‘Ghee Fawkes’. Seriously if it was, then who was smoking what when they decided that ‘Guy’ will be pronounced ‘Ghee’
Well, I heard about the story from a teacher who was French. Perhaps that’s why; regardless, it’s how I thought of it.
Doesn’t really matter.. it works both ways.
@Memoriam, haha, i just thought of that! nice
–
also, whats the big deal? personally i didnt get the ref right away, (never really liked history) but i figured it out and it was good! still like the starbucks one (a little) better though
What? Britan is a monarchy retard. Its not democratic, we invented that.
Actually, John, the democratic system started with the ancient Greeks.
Britain is a parlimentary system with a figurehead monarchy.
Don’t bother saying that, John won’t be able to figure it out.
They’re exactly the same as the US but they’ve got a Queen that doesn’t do anything important = parliamentary system w/ figurehead monarchy.
Unfunny pretense of idiocy is unfunny.
And if it’s not a pretense, wow.
*facepalm* oh John, what are we going to do with you and your lack of knowledge of political systems.
Anyway, 5 stars for the witty history reference, but damn this picture at the same time for the spawn of meme’s that have come from this and the starbucks picture.
I’m not a f**king idiot. What am I supposed to think if they put a Queen up?
This is still heroic.
