Mar 20 2008Gnomes Are Real, As Awesome As I Imagined

wtf he left his garden! man the owner's gonna be pissed.

Needler that bitch

I'm Argentinian. Don't worry about what they say since it's unimportant AND complicated to understand because of the quality. The only thing I can really get is at the end -Hey, look there, look, what's that?- *pussy scream*

Snopes has this as fake, theres two versions of this video on Youtube

i believe what they were saying was, "i wonder how many people will believe my baby brother is a gnome if we give him a pointy hat and have walter scream like a girl?"

plop!

Step 1: Collect Underpants
Step 3: Profit

@4 of course it's fake. it's just like all the Chupacabra, Bigfoot, and UFO movies; they only exist to help us find the people who think they are real and re-institutionalize them.

har har 7. yeah - snopes has it as a fake?? like there are real gnomes somewhere ... i dont know if video evidence will ever be used for anything anymore. if you went back in time to 1970 with Cloverfield people would really believe that NY got tossed by a monster.

i know that guy. that's david. but where's swift?

Look at him walk/waddle! He's so cool. I wish I had a gnome :(

Technically, a gnome is not a cute, cuddly little critter. It lives in gardens and also the inbetweens, and they're actually a pest. And they're horribly, horribly mean...
But that's only if someone wants to be truly technical as to what a gnome actually is.
Unless you're discussing the underpants gnomes, then they're in league with the dryer demon (who steals your socks, only one sock per pair). And eventually it will lead to a profit. But only once they figure out step 2.

Wait, I heard gnomes are nice little guys. HP made them out to be little bastards, but from the story books that we had when I was a kid they were just like normal people. They even had naked pictures- doe it get any more normal than that? I will agree that the other ones like the underpants gnome and dryer demon are bad. I don't even have a dryer and the damn thing still visits my house here. What a jerk. Anyways, HP= not the definitive guide for mythical creatures- gnomes are good little guys!

to follow up on 4's comment:

#11: Since you want to be technical, I have to step in and correct you: Gnomes are "One of a fabled race of dwarflike creatures who live underground and guard treasure hoards." and "In the occult philosophy of Paracelsus, a being that has earth as its element." They are mentioned in many cultures.

And yeah I agree with #3's translation.

Seeing as I'm a lazy bastard with nothing better to do at the moment,

"Thanks to Emilia, who welcomes are gnomish friends, for the tip"

Someone tell the editor to go over that line again. :P

That still doesn't beat the Bang-Bus video of Maya the Bee.

That video was such a waste of my life.

@Bob Saget

DUDE, totally the same thing I was thinking!

This is a promo for a new M. Night Shyamalan movie, isn't it?

#11 and #14
No if you want to be technical they are fictional creatures that can have any properties an author wants. In the canon of this post, Gnomes are suicidal philanthropists filled with raspberry jam who throw themselves into boiling vats to prop up the nation's sagging jelly doughnut supply. Technically.

if you want to get really, really technical, you are all nerds.

Poor little gnome, he's just trying to hang with his gnomies.

LOL that looks loke a grunt from halo 3, where the Battle rifle when you need one

I like the travelocity gnome better.

Wow, that's quite the viral marketing by Travelocity! I guess they're trying to appeal to the pedophiles who would usually visit Thailand and get them to go after little boys in Argentina instead.

What the f*** is wrong with twenty four of you. Questionmark. In all your pretentious crud not a one of you has the balls to say it: that freaked you out. What are all 14? THEY'RE REAL ASSHOLES@!!!

@ 25... Seeing as my eyes always focus on all cap statements so i can appropriately flame them, I'd suggest putting a comma after "REAL"...

You got my hopes up for some gnome ass...

@25: Maybe it's because I had my sound off, but it wasn't scary at all. I suppose it would be to those who know nothing about folklore... *shrug* Anyway, the size is wrong. It's too large. Probably a midget with a funny hat on and crap in his pants.

But honestly, you know what would do in a gnome, anyway? A kick in th face. Really. Those bastards would to right down.

gnomes have always been a part of central american culture, but it is said that they can only been seen my virgin females...

ahahahhahahhah omg omg this is soooooo funny :D can't stop laughing :D

hi! they are talking about the last fishing trip , but i´m sorry to say that video is a fake ,(Of Course !!!!!!) actually exist 2 different videos on YOutube with almost the same kind of images except the chat at the beginning and some kid in the group
Greetings from an Argentinian Geek
by the way sorry for my english

Hey i live 40 miles from that town!!!! i can translate it to you but i don't know who to write to, you've got my mail if you want to you can write to me to nopodessabertodo@hotmail.com

umm this is reallt really gay. like, omg its an alien!!! dude duh. first off its too darks to see shit. BARNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UMM Y THE F*** IS IT LIMPING?

Bigots...

Ha, ha- this reminds me of that episode of The Office (UK) where David is firing someone in his office, and Gareth is standing at the windowsill while some guy fixes David's computer; they all start talking about the difference between midgets/dwarves. At the end of the conversation, Gareth busts out: "okay, so then what's a goblin?"

Anyway. These comments are ten times more entertaining than the original video. Thanks. guys!

ya i'm with 32 got 20$ that it's a dressed up chimp

LOL... My band has a song about garden gnomes...

Check it out.
Click on Your Friend Is Gone.

LOL.. link helps...

http://myspace.com/chindigband

The name of the song is "Your Friend Is Gone"

You can catch one, become rich from finding a gnome, and then dress it green on st patrick's day and volia you've got yourself a private island in the ocean. It's off to Argentina for me.

perhaps its just a midgit in a gilly suit that has a bad limp/fantasy for walking like a crab.

@DigitalDesigner

LMAO

Phase 1 - Collect Underpants.

Phase 2 - ....

Phase 3 - Profit!!

PROPAGANDALERT!

u peeps r locos its a little girl celebrating her birthday going crazy.....how'd u like that pedro n zumbaga the talking pigeon pig

they keep saying "ayer" which means yesterday. they're talking about whether or not they told someone something yesterday. very chatty, non-specific talk, and just before the gnome comes in, they say "we'll see". it's what it sounds like anyway. why someone wouldn't run up to a gimpy little gnome and get a good look and a pic, i have no idea. even in a hoax you'd think they'd do better than just halting video like that. if i took a video like that i'd be all like, i don't wanna look like a total pussy, man.

That's not a gnome, that's a troll. Bet you are shitscared now, huh? Have you see the video of Lindsay Lohan f***ing this guy?

Number 19 and 21, you crack me up XD

Okay to get this out of the way PLEASE WIKI YOUR INFORMATION PEOPLE!
"A gnome is a mythical creature characterized by its extremely small size and subterranean lifestyle.[1] The word gnome is derived from the New Latin gnomus. It is often claimed to descend from the Greek γνώσις gnosis, "knowledge", but more likely comes from genomos "earth-dweller", in which case the omission of e is, as the OED calls it, a blunder. Another possibility is that it comes from the Arabic نوم (Noum),[citation needed] which means sleep. It is also possible that Paracelsus simply made the word up."

and as far as the video being legit. I think one should not pass judgment until one has proof of either the reality or un-reality that would be mythical creatures.

Now there is a high probability that Gnomes, Leprechauns, Goblins and other such humanoid creatures were "made up", however we also used to think that Unicorns were made up. For those who still doubt the exsistance of unicorns please refer to the dictionary literal translation unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu 'horn') One horned goats were mistaken for horses and thus the myth of the Unicorn was born. The one horned goats still live today Unicorns are still a fairy tale.

This may be a silly prank, or maybe due to the changes in the world what were once "mythical creatures" are now exposing themselves to the rest of the world in a last ditch effort to save their home.

Who knows except the crazy people with the crappy videos. It's like the original Sasquatch footage only the creators will ever know... mind you there are some other pretty f***ed up and convincing videos on youtube. Type in Gnome in Argentina and there's one of a couple of kids playing inside and a little figure in the background no more than a foot tall sitting on the floor, and when it stands up yes they all scream like girls.

This is without a doubt fake, because Gnomes are etheric in nature. They share our physical world, but on a different level. You can't just happen to see them like this video is suggesting.

www.mystoftheoracle.com

well my parents are from the mountains in Mexico and she told me this story with all seriousness and she had never lied to me..very honest religious Mexican woman.. ok well she said that in the hills when people would take their goats that there would be sightings of little people about a foot tall near the hills .. and she said that one time one of her mothers friends was digging near the hills that one came out of the ground.. i believe it and im planning on making a documentary next time i visit my grandma.. it kinda freaks me out though because what if they are very intelligent and have weapons.. i would be screwed

Um I didn't like garden gnomes before and now I'm just scared. I know that before the night is over, I'm gonna be shrieking like a little girl too. Fake or not, that thing creeps me right the f**k out.

ummm, damn all of the comments are from last year. i'm super late well i've heard stories about these little peeps. i've seen a video about in youtube where a guy is playin indoor soccer and the gnome was in the room the whole time, the guy accidently let the ball slip and when he got up to pick it up the gnome moved it. =/ theres that and my mom told me about some little person eatin peoples hair when they dnt tie it up. lmao but i think that was to scare me into tying my hair when i was a little lol i had long hair. but all i got to say is that every since i heard and seen that video i couldnt sleep for about four days. i thought i would hear little foot steps and hear little laughter. hey but the minds powerful right it plays tricks on you. or does it?

IT'S A WEIRDO
THEY COME OUT AT NIGHT AND START BORING CONVERSATIONS WITH EACH OTHER

i'm scared.
