+Anas Rachidi But that's not right. I shouldn't be able to change pronunciation because it sounds better, this is why English is a fucking stupid language.
The thing is if you have to spell it Jif to say how you're pronouncing it, then maybe reconsider how you're pronouncing it. Also, Jif is peanut butter, not repetitive video files.
The year is 2021. I saw this when I was in middle school. I have graduated college with a degree in mechanical engineering, have a steady partner, am making decent wage, and are about to buy my first real, adult car. I have experienced heartache, loss, depression, euphoria, accomplishment, distress, and apathy all at different points in my career as a human being. Tonight, I discord messaged my college roommate, my best friend, who I met under incredibly unlikely circumstances, to play Apex Legends (not sponsored) because I am sad and haven't talked to him in a while due to personal issues. He told me he'd call in a few - he's finishing up another game. Out of nowhere, for no reason at all, I thought of one line. "You don't want to touch those. They were sent from... god?" Here I am again. Thank you, CH. Despite current and past events, your entertainment, while fleeting in the moment, lasts a lifetime. Goodnight.
"Alright...Alright...Alright" "Enough!" "Ok...Ok...Ok" "No seriously...stop now" "I cant...I cant...I cant" "Oh god. what have we done?!" "Help me...Help me...Help me"
I know your comment is old but unless you are telling you think PETA (pronounced "pee-tuh") stands for People for the Eethical Tuhreatment of Uhnimals, or you think it's actually pronounced "peh-chae", you should stop using that argument because you know for damn sure you don't actually pronounce every acronym based off what it stands for.
Chunky Coffee that's different, at least the letters in the PETA acronym match up with what it stands for. "Jif" makes no sense. The J is utterly and completely random.
Evan Bell Actually it does, it's called democratie, Laws can be changed if they are voted by the people, and us the people of 9GAG and UA-cam are saying it's pronounced "JIF" so the minority like you are the ones irrelevant.
Anas Rachidi LOL! THE PEOPLE OF _9GAG_?! WHO THE _FUCK_ DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, AND WHERE DID YOU GET THE NOTION THAT YOUR PEOPLE ARE RESPECTED ON THE INTERNET?
+Bingoliath here's your answer; since Steve Wilhite created gifs, he gets to choose how it's pronounced, and he pronounces it "jiffs", but according to dictionary.com, it can be pronounced either gif or jiff. So we're all right.
You idiot I was making a point, let me spell it out, I replaced all the "Gs'" with "Js'" so maybe you could get the idea about how you can't just interchange letters. Clearly you missed the point.
Samuel Lacey the creator said it is pronounced with a j because it was named after the penut butter, yes it's a dumb reason but it was confirmed multiple times it's with a j
ExploitedYouth87 All major dictionaries will tell you that GIF can be pronounced with both a hard and soft G, though those of us who work in computer industries have been pronouncing it with a hard G since the late 1980's.
***** I think it's funny when people try to say that. If that's true, why is PETA pronounced "peeta" and not "peta"? The E stands for "ethical", not "eethical". Another example; UNICEF, pronounced "unisef", but the C stands for children.
***** So what if there isn't an H? Isn't it the actual sound according to you? And congratulations, you're the only one who pronounces PETA like that so clearly the acronym rules are ones you've made up yourself.
For those of you who don't know, GIF can be pronounced "Gif" or "Jiff", both are recognized as correct. The original creators of the format pronounced it "Jiff" where the g is soft, like in Geoff, but it is also correct to say "Gif" with a hard "G" like in "Graphics".
It stands for GRAPHICS Interchange Format. Not Jraphics Interchange Format. Next you're going to be telling me it's called a gaypeg. You wouldn't give someone a jift, you'd give someone a gift. I don't care what the creators of the format want to call it, pronouncing it "jif" sounds stupid for so many reasons. If they wanted it to be pronounced like that, they should have made the format .jif instead of.gif. /endrant
Fun fact! the creators of the .GIF made it because it was a wordplay of this saying they made to go along with it, 'Choosy animators choose .GIF' originally it WAS J so yeah, you're right.
no, he was awake/asleep for an unknown amount of time, who's sums are twenty four hours. The only other thing we knew is that he was asleep toward the end and woke up on the twenty-four hour mark. for all we know, he was awake a majority of that time, fell asleep five minutes before the 24 mark, then woke up right at the end.
Goddammit I always wondered why I got an A grade in English Literature but only B in English Language. All this frigging time, if only someone had told me. You know I always used to ace spelling tests, I could correct the teacher, but I sometimes got only 19 out of 20 rather than top score... now I know why! Thanks dude, I'll go look this up on Wikipedia.
Actually I say ji-raff not ji-rarf or even ji-rahf but I take your point. But for instance as I answered the other guy there are words like GET and GIVE where a G followed by an E or I is pronounced as ordinary G... and thinking about it another one is GIFT. Which is only one more letter than GIF. The originators may have been Japanese (didn't know that) but to native English speakers given the pronunciation of GIFT GIF is going to have a G not J sound.
Do I really have to list all the definitions I can find that fit perfectly well with my usage of the word? - "meant to be humorous or funny : not serious" - "amusing; humorous" - "lacking serious intent; concerned with something nonessential, amusing, or frivolous" - "Playfully jocular; humorous" - "not meant to be taken seriously or literally" But please continue making excuses as to why my joke went over your head. Here, this IS a serious remark: Find a new career, writing isn't your thing.
I say "lol", not el oh el... But maybe I'm just weird. Still, by definition an acronym is pronounced like a word. What you're thinking of is an initialism. It's a nitpicky difference that people rarely bother about, but SCUBA is an acronym, while, say, CEO is an initialism. You learn something new every day :D At least according to the creators it's pronounced with a soft G, as an acronym. And yeah, I agree that the soft G sounds so much more natural.
The bit where Sam throws out gifs for Josh to become is the silent predecessor of Game Changer’s Noise Boys

Tyler Ross It's pronounced Giff, Josh isn't pronounced Gosh so why would Gif be pronounced Jiff?
Leafeix I know, I'm making fun of the fact that they said it was Jif.
Are you drunk or is your G key fucked?
Victor Morales No, I'm making fun of the fact that they pronounced gif like Jif

@@iamtheiconoclast3You’re right, they only said GIF.

Replacing the g in college with a j doesn't make a difference in the pronunciation.

Josh is and always will be my favorite

Well, sorry.
jif...
JIF???
JIIIIIIIIFFF!!!!?!?!?
Yo it's DASHIE
+Marty Mcfly My name's Jiffff
+Marty Mcfly Ik its stupid, but that is actually how it is pronounced, the creator of gifs said so ;P
But its Graphical Interchange format, Not Jraphical Interchange Format
I know, but on dictionary.com it says you can say it both ways, so we are both right. :)
People keep arguing over whether it's "Gif" or "Jif"... the real question is, is it "Jpeg" or "Gaypeg"?
Joseph Train My god GIF sounds ugly that's why people say JIF so get over it.
+Anas Rachidi But that's not right. I shouldn't be able to change pronunciation because it sounds better, this is why English is a fucking stupid language.
+TheSmashMaster9000 no, it stands for "generated"
i still say "gif" though
The thing is if you have to spell it Jif to say how you're pronouncing it, then maybe reconsider how you're pronouncing it.

@Gulia Weber Well said, Gulia Weber!

Pat, Sam, and Josh are hilarious! 3 of my favorite collegehumor people in one video
The creator said it is BOTH "Jifs" and "gifs" so the only way to be wrong is to correct someone!
The creator said it was only jif.
Andrew Swartz this is true, and I accept it as the reality that has occurred, but it's not jif, it's gif, and I will fight you
@@andrewswartz129 Steve Wilhite is also a massive troll.
And gifs from video became a thing. CONGRATULATIONS 👏👏
People, calm down. The 'G' is silent. It's pronounced /ɪf/.

"Yeah I wouldn't touch those, they were sent from God." XD Genius.
there’s now a trend on tiktok where people pretend to be instagram boomerangs which is basically the same thing as this

"No seriously...stop now"
"I cant...I cant...I cant"
"Oh god. what have we done?!"
"Help me...Help me...Help me"
Thank you, CollegeHumer, for pronouncing it as JIF and respecting the genius creator of GIF.
+Ahmad K. K. Are you saying it's Jrafical Interchange Format? Oh ok. I'll go talk to my juest and go talk with my jolden retriever.
TheDevKing G as in Giraffe
+Ahmad K. K. 'Graphical' is not 'giraffe'.
I know your comment is old but unless you are telling you think PETA (pronounced "pee-tuh") stands for People for the Eethical Tuhreatment of Uhnimals, or you think it's actually pronounced "peh-chae", you should stop using that argument because you know for damn sure you don't actually pronounce every acronym based off what it stands for.
Chunky Coffee that's different, at least the letters in the PETA acronym match up with what it stands for. "Jif" makes no sense. The J is utterly and completely random.
I've been pronouncing gif incorrectly this whole time. You really do learn something new every day.
G in GIF stands for "Graphics" :. hard G.
***** So?
***** You pronounce few if any of the words you're using the way the inventors pronounced them.
That's why you also pronounce JPEG like "jay-feg". Because 'P' stands for 'Photographic'.
Come on.
***** assuming you speak any modern dialect of English
Blackfish I would if it were JPHEG
almost beat my record ALMOST!!!
Has anyone turned all of these into gifs yet?
press 1 constantly for a good beat :D
This is imgur
This video is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
GIF/JIFE = Assio/Ackio
This is the funniest College Humor video YET.
Graphic Image Films.
It's GIF, not Jiff.
Evan Bell GIF sounds ugly get over it, it's pronounced "JIF"
Which you think sounds better is irrelevant.
Anas Rachidi it's pronounced "GIF".

This is by far my favorite sketch.
People who genuinely care about how people pronounce "gif"
You're in my bottom 10
Ice cream so good gang gang
I don't see how a person can suddenly become peanut butter....
Jiff....
If they film Josh forever, how would they be able to post the GIFs?
***** Then there would only be one GIF.
Unless they stream from multiple parallel universes.
GIF: hard G as in gift
+TeeSmashedPotatoes No.
+Asmus Nielsen yes. you do not look at animated pictures of peanut butter
you're fun at parties
+Asmus Nielsen
Do you say Japhics Interchange Format
Or Graphics Interchange Format?
There's your answer.
+Bingoliath here's your answer; since Steve Wilhite created gifs, he gets to choose how it's pronounced, and he pronounces it "jiffs", but according to dictionary.com, it can be pronounced either gif or jiff. So we're all right.
I miss Josh....
Why are they pronouncing it like jiff?
Because that's how it's supposed to be pronounced, look it up.
TheJimger let me gust jo ahead and tell you why that's totally wronj, letters don't work like that. The creator can't just choose how letters sound.
***** Says the person who thinks "wrong" is spelled "wronj"
You idiot I was making a point, let me spell it out, I replaced all the "Gs'" with "Js'" so maybe you could get the idea about how you can't just interchange letters. Clearly you missed the point.
***** the english language is full of G's pronounced as J's look at the word gymnasium.
Gifs looped, so that memes could run
It can be pronounced /ˈdʒɪf/ jif or /ˈɡɪf/ neither is right or wrong, get over it
Callum Ferguson thx mate
Lucy Hunt it's pronounced yiff
Arnodude53 Prescriptivist. You're wrong.
*clap*
Nope, you are wrong.
It's a "hard" ⟨g⟩, you know, as in *graphics* (GIF = Graphics Interchange Format).
For anyone complaining about pronunciation, the "jif" pronunciation is just used because Josh is performing them.
Otherwise, it's pronounced "gif".
There is literally NO good argument for pronouncing "gif" with a hard g. Good on Sam for saying it right.
0:34"we're gonna be rich" XD Lord I can't.
Gif as in grift hard G
it's not jif there is no J
the creator said its pronounced jif -_-get your facts straight
+raph leo Jif. As in jiffy. Also like GIN.
+Dalton Brown GIF = Graphics Interchange Format
Um, didn't he actually want it pronounced with a hard G?
Samuel Lacey the creator said it is pronounced with a j because it was named after the penut butter, yes it's a dumb reason but it was confirmed multiple times it's with a j
My stomach literally explode from laughter. Josh is fucking funny as hell.
I cringe every time they say "jif".
theeshyguy1 me to...me to
Hence further proof that Josh is the greatest actor that ever lived.
I think the smart people pronounce it Gif.... because there's a fucking G in it.
No, it's clearly pronounced GIF, not GIF. Idiot.
ExploitedYouth87 All major dictionaries will tell you that GIF can be pronounced with both a hard and soft G, though those of us who work in computer industries have been pronouncing it with a hard G since the late 1980's.
Eh, it's a soft G. This has been cleared by the people who created GIFs in the past. A dictionary doesn't beat the person who made the word.
***** I think it's funny when people try to say that. If that's true, why is PETA pronounced "peeta" and not "peta"? The E stands for "ethical", not "eethical".
Another example; UNICEF, pronounced "unisef", but the C stands for children.

YAY! they said GIF the right way. FInally
wait a sec... did he say "jif" i think it's pronounced "gif"
LOLed at the "This pinball machine took my money" GIF
i'm a simple man. i hear jif, i dislike
Regardless when an e --> i

Love that he pronounces GIF correctly
At first I wasn't a big fan of this skit, but Sam's psychotic expressions helps me like it more!

I died when he put the hat on and started eating cereal again.
Love the fact that Josh was just hiding under behind the chair until needed.
Haha the cereal part is golden.
this actually made me laugh so hard. good job.
What a fucking ASSHOLE
OMG! they said GIF wrong!
It’s crazy that this is essentially how some popular GIFS started now.
Fun fact! the creators of the .GIF made it because it was a wordplay of this saying they made to go along with it, 'Choosy animators choose .GIF' originally it WAS J so yeah, you're right.
Outstanding!
FINALLY SOMEBODY PRONOUNCES IT RIGHT
He didn't look like he was about to fall asleep immediately before the title card came up.
The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), pronounced "JIF", was designed by CompuServe and the official specification released in June of 1987.
Yeah, that tends to be the argument for that side, although the creators used a soft g. Dunno why, I agree with your point.
Josh is awesome
no, he was awake/asleep for an unknown amount of time, who's sums are twenty four hours. The only other thing we knew is that he was asleep toward the end and woke up on the twenty-four hour mark.
for all we know, he was awake a majority of that time, fell asleep five minutes before the 24 mark, then woke up right at the end.
Whoah, great argument.....you completely convinced me that I was wrong.
So anybody making GIFs using this video :D ? I really like the cereal GIF.
agreed ! . 'GIF' is like 'GIFT" without the 'T" noise :)
Wait.....are you saying that GIF's arent someone repeating the same action over and over????? Holy cow, News report....My world has been rocked!!
i think i might cry.

Me seeing they are saying gif wrong
This comment section... Oh no... Guys, the creator of the gif said it's pronounced "jif"! If you refuse to accept it, fine, but it's the correct way.
Do I really have to list all the definitions I can find that fit perfectly well with my usage of the word?
- "meant to be humorous or funny : not serious"
- "amusing; humorous"
- "lacking serious intent; concerned with something nonessential, amusing, or frivolous"
- "Playfully jocular; humorous"
- "not meant to be taken seriously or literally"
But please continue making excuses as to why my joke went over your head. Here, this IS a serious remark: Find a new career, writing isn't your thing.
I say "lol", not el oh el... But maybe I'm just weird.
Still, by definition an acronym is pronounced like a word. What you're thinking of is an initialism. It's a nitpicky difference that people rarely bother about, but SCUBA is an acronym, while, say, CEO is an initialism.
You learn something new every day :D
At least according to the creators it's pronounced with a soft G, as an acronym. And yeah, I agree that the soft G sounds so much more natural.
It's "Gosh", not "Josh"! Gosh, Joddammit! D:
