Motivators - the return

[Brickwall]

You may recall that a good while ago, there was much fun had in making "motivational" posters in parody of a certain office fad. Well, I still like those personally, and I'm sure lots of others do too.

This is only a thread for ones you've made yourself at sites like the one I'll post a link to near the bottom of the post. There's so many other ones out there that it's too easy to find overused content. We're original people here, we'll be fine. I'm not sure how the modification of OotS artwork applies to these, but err on the safe side.

I'll start with one of my own, a take on the classic Hang In There! poster inspired by friends.

I'm a horrible person, I know.

Here's the site that lets you make these: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php

Enjoy, and share with us your undoubtedly warped sense of humor.

This pic has a history...

When I was talking to one of my friends via Yahoo! Instant Messenger, and I wanted to show her a funny picture that happened to have me in it, I'd paste in a pic of Master Chief's head, so that I could remain anonymous.

Well, one day I mentioned to her that I had a cat... and that I had a picture of the cat...

So, of course, she wanted to see it...

I was wondering when they'd get around to including felines in the Spartan program :smallamused:

If this isn't inspirational, I don't wanna know what is!

EDIT: I've got a small collection of "inspirational" posters from various places on the Internet, but since I didn't make 'em, I dunno if I should post 'em here...

Is it Caterday already? I sense this thread has a bright future ahead...

I'll come up with something creative later. For now, I'd just like to point out that we had a big burst of these a few months back on the Erfworld forum (encouraged by Erfworld's Creative Commons license).

Motivators (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49314)
Demotivators (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49479)

Not everything in there is in motivator-format, but there have been quite a lot of those. I figure that anyone interested in this thread might want to see those, too.

Here's my latest motivational poster. Enjoy!

You can has!

Or alternately: You has can! :smalltongue:

But enough of my delaying tactics - here's my contribution:

The joke is just a bit dated (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076729/), of course. But it was the first thing I thought of when I found the photo on my HD.

Here ya go!

[TheCountAlucard]

Neat-O. Did you do all of them?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Yep. I didn't make the images themselves, obviously, and I used the bighugelabs motivator tool, but I came up with all the words. Except for the Kipling quote.

[TheCountAlucard]

Well, yeah, I didn't mean the images. I only made one image myself, and that's Master Chief Cat.

Oooh, a poster thread....
Warning: Massive Amounts of posters in spoiler

*blink* *blink* :smalleek:
"Massive Amounts" doesn't cover it - that was an avalanche of posters. Some good stuff, too.

@TheCountAlucard: Yeah, I think that's about how I would react if I saw that guy standing over my bed with a sandwich of pre-processed pseudo-meat.
BTW, you wouldn't happen to be ... hungry lately, would you? Two hamburger-related posters in a row? :smallwink:

Ok, now, this one's a bit close to home for the forum:

In case you want to look it up, the last line is dialogue from #102: Lowbrow is the Best Brow (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0102.html).
