When you realize that furries organized a better event than Tumblr users.

[@joelcoates9985]

When they said five to seven thousand people would come they might've meant LITERALLY 5 to 7000.

[@cinnamonflavord]

"We will all sigh together"

[@UnprofessionalProfessor]

The irony of singing "We Are the Champions," while getting extorted is palpable.

I wanna see TwitterCon

[@MrRandomGuy13100]

"We're all going to sigh together, okay? 1 2-" "Give me back my money."

[@inactive07228]

Dashcon, rainfurrest, fyre festival, tanacon, let’s see what other events end up in ruins

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

The “They say dress for the job you want.”-Guy was kinda cool and chill though. Witty and snappy response to having a camera shoved up his face.

[@galleryofrogues]

“A group of tumblr users come up with a brilliant idea”

[@shgh2695]

When 4chan didn’t even have to do anything to make it fail

[@caevman3203]

“We’re all gonna sigh together” is something the annoying 9th grade teacher says after assigning a project just before a holiday

[@aldenfriend9625]

“They say dress for the job you want” that’s the best way to handle that situation lol

[@OopsOlliePopp]

Coming back to this video a few years later and gotta be honest. The lady screaming “what if they want more money” may be annoying but shes the only one who seemed to catch on 🗿

[@Farrowstrike]

"lets sigh together"

[@CrabbyMcCrab11]

A Gay hispanic man being called a straight white male is the most tumblr thing i have ever heard

[@heckaboo]

Can't wait for Internet Historian to make a video on the failure of Twitchcon in a few years' time

[@FMCybear]

"we're all gonna sigh together okay? one, two, three.."

[@murphyjack90]

"We are all going to sigh together okay?"

[@TheSantaCompana]

That ball pit really tied the room together.
