Planking and Coneing.

[deadpoolRKO]

I wonder what everyone thinks about these two new trends going around, i'm on youtube a lot and it seems like everyone is either planking or coneing.

Planking ( for those who don't know ) is where you lay down and make your body as straight as possible , like a board. like this

Coneing ( for those who don't know ) is where you order an ice cream cone at a drive through , then grab it by the ice cream and eat it upside down & try to get the drive thru workers reaction on video. like this

I think coneing is kinda funny but planking is lame imo

lol yeah i saw that , another guy got arrested for planking & taking pictures on a cop car

[TheCanadiandrome]

ah, i saw this on TMZ!

[A little *too* Raph]

Coning would be more tolerable if people spelled it right.

[Iroh]

I think it is sad how far people will go for foolishness...It is stupid that the coroner report will have the person's cause of death as "planking" while falling.:cry:I guess if you live like a fool; you will die like a fool.:trolleye:

I'll drink to that!

I'll take a shot, too. I agree with ya both.

That would be what all these conflabbed kids call "FAIL", right?

hahahaha good one! :tlol:

[Spitfire]

Both are pretty stupid. Coning looks like something only 15 years old would do. The women in that video barely reacted. They made a bigger deal out of it then it was.

I blame Youtube for this.

These are the DUMBEST trends I ever heard of.

I'd rather Kris Kross my clothes.

There's also "toothpicking" (standing on your head/vertically). And "owling" which is basically squatting with your arms down like wings....and well....you try and look like an owl. And there is one where you pose mid jump off a diving board....can't remember what it's called....


Whatever makes you happy



Except there was one kid who died planking on the edge of a roof. Still, I suppose he was happy with himself for a moment

lol , that one sounds like it requires athleticism so i doubt it gets that popular

Haha, nice. And agreed.

Coning to me looks like the jokes on you... You pay for an icecream , grab it upside down take 1 bite and it falls on your lap. First off I would never waste ice cream like that, second they all drive off right after... kinda boring. This is all because they got rid of toy guns and lawn darts .... kids are just bored with growing up it seems.

Although I'm not a fan of it, I can certainly see the draw in planking. Scratch that, I can see the draw in what I thought was planking. I was under the impression that planking was when an individual lay on an item, often balancing themselves like well, a piece of wood, whereas the "lying down game" (less interesting) is just people lying on the ground... apparently they're the same thing though? That doesn't make any bloody sense. Either way it's not something I could get into, it's just that the former seems like it would actually take skill.

Coning, doesn't sound at all like any sort of... anything, for that matter. The apparent "reason" to do it is to get the food server's reaction... a friend of mine convinced me to watch a "greatest hits" collection of 6 minutes of the act, and not a single one made a reaction that would be worthy of recording. They either facepalmed, shook their head, or did nothing at all. It makes sense, too... who would make any other sort of reaction to the dumbf**k that just bought food from you didn't know how to eat it correctly? This seems like less of a meme/prank and more like stoned teenagers being idiots.

These are both stupid and insanely unfunny and I wish everyone who did either of them fell off of their roofs.

[Voltron]

. . . The way things are looking, they'll probably take that up next.

But what would you name it?

[XERO]

I dunno... roofing?

[AT-Man]

Plankers outta be planked in the head with a two-by-four.

[Ninjinister]

Already happened.

Well, roof, balcony, close enough.

I believe that is known as "Dagwooding".

I thought "Dagwooding" involved a sammich. :-?

[Slap-Happy]

Dagwooding is what Master Splinter described. But with a sandwich choked up in ya' throat

[BubblyShell22]

I think both of these trends are so dumb, and I wouldn't try either of them.

[shuriken]

Funny. I plank all the time, been planking for years before I knew it was even a trend. I plank on tables or this giant cardboard shell I made. Pretty relaxing. Would never do that on a roof or tree branches though cuz ya know I don't like dying.

[Katie]

Just saw a new one: Batmanning. Hanging by your feet (like a bat) from various objects. Saw one guy hanging from a roof....eesh looks dangerous.

[BubblyShell22]

Seriously? Wow. Not a very smart thing to do.
