...hate me...
What's with Banderas scenes with laptops?
This is a lie and I hate liars.

Oh, what does this gif mean, specifically, to everyone? I get the basics: we've got Nathan Fillion starting to reply to something or interrupt someone, discovering that he can't find the words, and giving up.
But I swear I've seen this gif used in multiple mutually-exclusive contexts. Is this gif for when someone says something so stupid that you can't even find the words to object to it? Or is it for when someone says something that seems stupid or over-the-top at first, but as you go to refute it, you discover that it has a point and is actually insightful and nuanced, and you can't figure out right away how to debunk it?
This is the context that I imagine.
That's what I've always taken it to mean.
No reason it can't be used for either depending on context? This is the depth of a great gif.

Someone said something so incomprehensibly dumb that no words will ever be able to convey just how stupid it was. And lo, the GIF is used.
I would never expect to see it as the latter of your options.

"Outer space isn't real, it's a conspiracy by the government. You don't know, you haven't been there."
I still watch it
According to the previews, Allie's new BF apparently beat the crap out of her....again >_<

"Firefly was a fantastic TV series cancelled in its prime, and Serenity was a great movie that did the series justice."
I kid. I love both Serenity and Firefly.
The head's expression is what is being communicated.

I honestly don't get it when this is posted in every food thread.

and that plane pic.
That picture is Tony Kornheiser a writer/radio/television personality most famous from the American ESPN show Pardon The Interruption (where the picture is taken from). In this picture, the text below Tony's face "Why" (a text fragment from a longer sentence) perfectly matches the look of disgust on Tony's face.
It's just a funny fucking picture taken out of context.
The plane picture is from a thread about somewhere lowering the age of consent in some foreign country, and the first post was a picture of a plane taking off. Thus, a legend was born.

Heh... I thought it was Alan Sugar after hearing some stupid stuff on The Apprentice or something.
There was this gif of a shirtless black man smiling and he's doing something that to me looks like conducting an imaginary orchestra in his head. I can't find the gif because I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.
There was another gif of this white dude that is just making weird contortions of all the muscles around his mouth. It had a complementary gif of him doing the same thing next to a girl while making awkward body motions with the girl looking disgusted. I have no idea either what message is trying to be conveyed there.

I don't quite understand Bish gifs. Not that they are overused, it's just me being a relatively new member and haven't seen what he did to gain such popularity.
Hope I don't get banned for being too honest.

Can someone post the Citizen Kane clap.gif? It's always misused in context to the scene in the movie.
