    Vin Diesel facts: pre or post chuck norris facts?

    Vin Diesel facts premiered on these forums about 5-6 months before chuck norris facts even came about, amirite?

    my friend doesn't think that the Chuck Norris facts came after Vin Diesel facts. Which came first?

    or am i the delusional one? D:

    Vin Diesel internet facts were about a year prior to Chuck.

    Chuck Norris were over 5-6 months too. I remember hearing them from my roommate in 2006.

    Re: Vin Diesel facts: pre or post chuck norris facts?

    No one believes me on this, but one of my best friends was doing Chuck Norris jokes about 10 years ago.

    Him and his cousins used to get high and watch Chuck movies all night and one night they were like 'He can't be hurt!' and they even had an entire mythology based on Chuck

    The worshipers of Chuck would go to Valhalla when they die and fight the good fight and every night the dead would rise and they would eat drink and be merry.

    The official car of Chuck was a Volvo. If you live in a Volvo you can never die, even simply wearing one around your neck will postpone your life, however a Pinto is an anti-volvo, and followers of Chuck will immediately perish if they come in contact with one...

    Yeah I know, random, but my favotire thing they used to do was have very loud conversations in the mall that went as follows "Ok who would win, tiger or a bear? Um tiger because of the speed. Ok, Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan? Bruce, he's got experience on his side. Ok ok, now for a stumper, Chuck Norris, or GOD! (then the other person would get even louders) TRICK QUESTION! Chuck norris IS God!" And everyone would state at them.

    Ahhhh memories...

    The first Vin Diesel joke I ever heard was in December 2005, from my first endgame linkshell which I had just joined.

    Vin Diesel came first then Chuck Norris, and they even made a shitty Mr. T random facts that flopped. Vin was huge for a while then Chuck suddenly got everyone's interest.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_norr ... ar_culture

    [quote="lolwiki"]In late 2005, Norris became the object of an internet phenomenon known as Chuck Norris Facts, which document fictional, often absurdly heroic feats and characteristics about Norris himself. The phenomenon originally started in the "Vin Diesel Fact Generator", and Chuck Norris Facts were created as a byproduct, often using the same facts featured in the Vin Diesel Fact Generator. In time, Chuck Norris Facts became wildly popular, even more so than the original Vin Diesel Fact Generator.[/quote]

    who knew o.O i always thought the chuck ones were the original ones (and funnier)

    From my experience, whichever facts one heard first determines which facts they prefer. I heard Vin facts first (through these forums), so naturally I see Chuck Norris facts are a cheap knockoff and a steaming pile of donkey shit.

    That being said, I would imagine Chuck Norris facts have some origination (or at least inspiration) from Conan O'Brien's Walker Texas Ranger emergency lever. Probably someone who read Vin facts, watched Conan O'Brien and thought "Hey, I can do that."

    I remember seeing Vin jokes way before 05 and before these forums; I had a friend who was obsessed with them. I still find Chuck jokes to be way better.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Chuck Norris jokes got more popular likely because some fag on WoW(or Gaia ) found them first.
