I know my thread title makes no sense - let's see if I can clarify it! I am so amused when posters respond to threads with, for example, a scene image from Seinfeld which illustrates their post - the image is actually the scene with some movement in it (e.g., elaine rolling her eyes) but it stays frozen on just that scene. I've seen posters do this with random images, too (e.g. a cat rolling its eyes, or a movie viewer munching on popcorn), not just ones from tv shows.
How do you all post these? And where do you get the images? I have an iphone if that makes any difference. As much as I'd love all of the replies to be in the visual format I am talking about, please use some narrative to explain this to me  .

| Google what? "Scene from Seinfeld with Elaine rolling eyes"? I am seriously asking this. I was under the impression that there us a library of these images somewhere - posters seem to be able to pull up on point ones so quickly (and IRL people send me these in text exchanges - very on point funny images about whatever we are texting - like arnold from different strokes saying "what you talkin' about willis"). |

Yes. Did you even bother to google that before asking? This is what I got googling that search term: https://www.google.com/search?q=scene+from+seinfeld+with+elaine+rolling+eyes&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiTsf739p3PAhWp6oMKHVCzBvgQ_AUICCgB&biw=1296&bih=735 Google, it. Click on the image/animated gif. Copy and paste the link. Voila. |

Thank you. I had never before heard the term "GIF" and now I see there are lots of these images as "GIF's", so probably there are libraries of them (there was for Seinfeld Elaine at least) if you are looking for an image to match a specific feeling/response. When I tried to "copy image" from the Elaine GIF site, and tried to paste it into this response, nothing showed up. You did it with a link, but a lot of posters paste the actual "GIF" image - do you know how to do that?

When you post, do you look at all the buttons at the top and wonder what they all do? Puzzle it through.

| Not the OP, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it easier to do from a computer as opposed to someone using their iPhone like the OP has? |
