Browsing through an old sup bro? post (sup bro in da club) I came acros "sup ho". It made me wonder about some of the gimmick accounts that had potential but just flamed out. Discuss your favorites.

BadAdviceGuy is a great idea but his posts haven't been well executed. Except for when he told ManyBeers he should post more.

Must have been during the mass purging of gimmick accounts. Not sure why, darynisright was always on topic!

I love that one. I wish I'd thought of it. The one where he told the guy the car was a bargain at twice the price was great too.

random image was good. a few times it was actually a funny pic on its own. but mostly it was the transisions ppl then had to try and make after the thread gets completely derailed by a pic of hulk hogan or a teenage girl pillow fight.

As long as theres no more gimmick account threads this won't happen.

Anyway, I'd rather read any gimmick account than some of the posters I've been seeing lately.

I think it is extremely difficult for a gimmick account to go over well when they are being analyzed as much as they are right now.

08-10-2005, 02:52 PM

Now OOTer will make der post on OOT, ja?

don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind another Gimmick Account Uprising. I thought the first one in the "gimmick accounts locked" thread was absolutely hilarious.

I was always fond of the Cliffs Notes gimmick since it made me chuckle and served a good purpose as well.
