A bunch of kids drinking and smoking weed, all daring each other to ask the ‘best’ question.

KNOWITALL's avatar

Pretty much what you think, Mama.

In my mind, it’s a 15 year old boy who actually thinks he just said the wittiest, most original thing ever.

Someone who has been submitting short stories to publishers and then receiving unanimous rejection slips who still believes s/he can write interesting fiction with the appearance of verisimilitude.

Something that looks like newt gingrinch

spiritual's avatar

A complete weirdo who is also cowardly.

Sunny2's avatar

A late teenager with bad teeth and thick glasses.

What @Mama_Cakes sees. Some sexually frustrated, socially inept loser who secretly feels he (or she) really is smarter than everyone around them.

ucme's avatar

Fat spotty useless cunts, male or female, who constantly dribble saliva when they get really excited.

Coloma's avatar

Bored teens and socially inept adults looking to stir the pot o’ poo.

Pachy's avatar

I totally agree with @Coloma, and the image you link to pretty much works for both.

Troll but I am a roleplaying nerd so what do I know.

Coloma's avatar

Gross! Manboobs..ugh! I just saw this guy in the parking lot at the grocery store that needed a bra. Probably a 42 C. lolol

huzzah's avatar

I don’t have one picture because I know they come in all shapes and sizes. And some of them are pleasing to the eye.

Randy?

This Hot Stamy Girl

The woman on the left, thinks the woman on the right, is having a man at her work/church stand too Close at Hand

This young lady wonders if her married boss is flirting with her, because he says they’re just like Bonnie and Clyde

The woman on the left wonders if it’s OK to continue having an affair with the husband of the woman on the right, even if the man’s husband just announced that she’s Pregnant

Course there’s always This Guy

And This Girl

And Her

A gruesome dark creature possibly not quite human lurking in the shadows ready to pounce on God knows what or Who

SadieMartinPaul's avatar

A 14-year-old or 15-year-old boy who thinks that he lurks at the cutting edge of wit. As he types away, he giggles, grins idiotically, or both. Then, he sits back and reads about the outrage he’s inspired among grown adults, which leads to more giggling and grinning.

—-Randy, Randy—

You newer peeps missed out on one of the best trolls ever. The guy was amazing-ly…stupid but funny as hell. lol

JLeslie's avatar

Someone who finds humor in things I never would find funny. I am not much of a prankster type. I don’t like to make fun of other people or lie. It’s all the same sort of thing to me.

downtide's avatar

I picture them as something like this

You might want to turn your volume down a bit before you play this video. He’s LOUD.

LuckyGuy's avatar

A 14 year old girl.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I know a troll. He’s 50-something. Normal as hell, in an off beat, funny kind of way (my kind of guy!) He’s a lot of fun. Until you mention something innocuous like, you happen to like McDonald’s egg McMuffins. Then he goes full on psycho! We’ve been friends for about 6 years (since Wisdm) and he went full on psycho on me yesterday on fb (even unfriended me,) AND full on psycho on an old HS friend of mine who had majored in organic chemistry. She reported him. We were talking in PM and she said she kind of knew him from other organic websites and he’s been banned from them all. He was banned from here about an hour after he came.
I’ll bet any Wisdmr can tell you instantly who it is!

Kardamom's avatar

^^ Makes me think of the statement, “Hey man, let’s get the band banned back together!”

Paradox25's avatar

Very far right wing women on sodahead. I’m not joking, they were viscious, and much more so than the far right wing guys.

ragingloli's avatar

@Paradox25
And that is saying something. I have seen people on there advocating genocide against gays and muslims, and being completely unapologetic when confronted.

Paradox25's avatar

Some of them could even spell faux.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Dutchess_III Would that be the evil frog?

I pretty much picture what you do, @Mama_Cakes.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Dutchess_III I don’t know why you even talk to him. He’s a douchebag, and he will never change.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I was able to by completely ignoring his rants and his douchebaggery questions. We have a lot of fun, otherwise. You know how he is. But then he went off on me personally (which I never even responded to—he got into it with another fb friend of mine but it was on my thread) so I guess that’s the end of that!

luvlucy's avatar

Someone who is unwell or extremely bored and wants attention or under the influence of friends or drugs/drink ~ very anti-social!

SadieMartinPaul's avatar

@Dutchess_III How tragic is it that a 50-something man has nothing better to do than hang out at a computer and stir-up trouble? A man of that age should be preoccupied with succeeding at a career, paying his mortgage, putting his children through college, etc., etc. The person you’ve described could easily pass (online) for someone in junior high school.

Dutchess_III's avatar

He said he has cancer. Has had for several years, so he says. I haven’t heard from him in months and can’t find him on fb. So, your guess is as good as mine.
