In Colorado we do Ninja, Hunter, Bear. Ninja beats hunter, Hunter beats bear, and bear beats ninja! You stand back to back, take three steps and then turn around. Hunter has a gun, the Ninja is doing the, um…ninja pose (Jakie Chan!), and the bear has arms up and roaring, much less disputable…
It comes from an ancient Chinese tradition where when a request was sent to the ruler on a piece of “paper” or the equivalent at the time, the rock was placed over the paper if the request was accepted, the paper was draped over the rock, indicating defeat of the request, if the request was rejected. Hence, paper over rock = defeat.
Duh.
Wow, someone seriously got a trauma from losing “rock paper scissors” all through his childhood!
Wonder what traumas children get when they always lose at hopscotch… or conkers… or hide-and-seek… the hide-and-seek losers probably go off to become hermits, never to be heard of again.
Clenched fist = evil
Open Palm = good
Rock, closed hand
Paper, open hand.
You try to punch somebody with rock, and paper can save them by stopping your punch
Believe it or not, but in Kazakhstan we have paper, scissors, rock and well.
So scissors cut paper, rock brakes scissors, rock drowns in well and paper covers the well. It is logical (Though weird) While waving ur hand u must shout like an idiot “Well, what do u whant?” Then u shot and see who wins.
If I understand correctly paper, rock & scissors are allegories to knowledge, defense and offense. Paper beats rocks because someone with knowledge can think their way past any defense. Rocks beats scissors because a suitable defense will negate any offense. Scissor beats paper because being knowledgable won’t help you against raw strength when you don’t have time to plan.
You don’t keep an open palm. You cover their rock with your paper. AKA, grab their fist when they try to punch you.
Why are you people trying to poke holes in this!? XD
Really? A game that some researches can date back to 200 BC Japan or to a similar game that was played in Africa centuries ago. Why are such a bunch of misfit deconstructionists? Look how smart we are NOW! Gush gush.
To the person who created the sign, he can bring his rock fists, I’ll play roshambo south park style and make sure I get in a nice crotch shot. Nothing beats a swift kick in the balls for being a uppity punk.
Jeez. It’s just a game, calm down.
It is just a game… but still, maybe we need to make it clearer. Perhaps “paper” should be replaced by… I dunno… TNT?
Yes! From this day forth, five outstretched fingers will no longer be called “paper” but TNT.
And this great game shall be called ROCK, FIVE STICKS OF DYNAMITE, SCISSORS
¡Viva la revolución!
And what, will scissors beat five sticks of dynamite?
Yes because the scissors can cut the fuses off of the dynamite rendering them useless
Ill just say five sticks of lit dynamite with a a quarter sec fuse, BAM, i win the game
And with that… You’ve just lost the game…
Nobody wins the game. ever.
I just won, and it feels great!
*squeeze*
That comment was great!
Thank you! *squeeze*
And have a great day!
*snicker* Say g’night Greatie *snicker*
You seem to have forgotten about the existence of Mr. Norris.
but u cant choose Chuck Norris… Chuck Norris chooses u
Strange game. The only way to win is not to play.
People with amnesia = do win the game because they’ve actually forgotten the game..
What game?
I lost THE GAME T.T
they will cut the fusse xD
so much win…
*hi fives Commander Epic the Great*
*gets defeated by his scissors*
=(
I play “rock, paper and bag”, the makes more sense, right?
I play “rock, bag ,scissor”. Makes more sense, right?
Don’t you mean “Rock, Dynamite with a Cuttable Wick, Scissors?”

Where can I find this??!?! I NEED to own this.
Just take some kind of board and start writing.
It’s from an old Saturday Night Live segment called “Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy”.
in sweden we have rock scissors bag.. like, plastic bag..
jag tycker det låter rimligare så ^^ xD
Hmm.. I’m not sure that that rock bag scissors has the same ring to it…
in swedish it does
sounds like sweden is filled with a bunch of weirdos
DO NOT INSULT SWEDEN BECAUSE YOU’RE INSULTING THE HOLY NOTCH!
FOREVER YOU SHALL LIVE NOTCH, NO NUMBER OF CREEPERS WILL BE ABLE TO STOP YOU, MY LORD!
Douchenozzle
Smosh should make a Minecraft video.
i want to play rock paper scissors NOW and do THAT.
Playing Rock paper Scissors with diclonus vectors is unfair.^^
Someone is off their Xanex.
In Sweden paper wins you.
This comment wins +1.
*slow clap*
*slower clap*
They make medication for that, you know.
You’re very ugly. I would rather look at piss than you, Avis.
Yeah! And you’re a big baby, too! A POOPY BABY!
Pointless immature rants are AWESOME!
This entire thing is a quote from Demetri Martin if I recall correctly.
No, it’s completely different, but he does have a joke about it. Rock, paper, dynamite with a cuttable wick.
It is straight from Demetri Martin.
How bout rock, Kevlar fabric, scissors?
how would paper beat that?
Paper got replaced by Kevlar fabric
I meant scissors >_<
yea, scissors can beat kevlar, since kevlar can be cut with scissors but yea, it’ll stop most everything….
And FYI, its also from The Big Bang Theory… Ah sheldon, you crazy mofo…
This is from a stand up comedians act nothing more
in romania it’s not paper, it’s a bag
)
No, it’s not.
You’re wrong .
It comes from an ancient Chinese tradition where when a request was sent to the ruler on a piece of “paper” or the equivalent at the time, the rock was placed over the paper if the request was accepted, the paper was draped over the rock, indicating defeat of the request, if the request was rejected. Hence, paper over rock = defeat.
Duh.
Then that Chinese tradition is unlogical aswell.
Why didn’t they just stand up and say:”No” instead of wrapping stones?
because dude, thats how they roll in china
Don’t you mean they should whisper “No”?
“Unlogical”?
Who writes out a stupid paragraph like that on a poster board? Really?
totally wrote it all out. didnt copy and paste or anything
I thought it was hilarious. Mason, you’re just a hater!
When policemen said “papers”, I used to reply with “scissors”.
Now I know that I can say “rock”, too, and get away with it.
Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock Is the only way!
You win +10 internets. ^_^
is always an option.
I’m not reading thru all the comments to see if someone said this already, but this is part of a skit from the comedian Demetri Martin.
Except that nuke I’m holding…
UMADBRO?
Don’t let Captain Ginyu read that.
+1
too late
I never considered paper winning over rock to be defeat. I always considered it as… seduction.
Brevity is the soul of wit? Nonsense!
What makes a joke funny is huge blocks of solid text.
You guys……..Dane Cook said this. Maybe he stole it from someone, but that’s where I heard this from……………….
I thought it sounded like Dane Cook.
Just run with scissors. Rock can’t smash if rock can’t catch.
If you fall while running with scissors, rock and paper both win.
Especially Darwin!
saw this ages ago, but still a good one nonetheless
k then, im gonna stab you with this pair of scissors,
pick up a rock and defend yourself.
Here is where this originated, if anyone’s curious: http://ekarj.com/114/rockpapersscissors/
I thought it was a comedian myself, but Dane Cook and Demetri Martin have just done versions of it.
We have Man-Elephant-Ant in Indonesia.
Tell me more. Who beats whom?
And what are the hand actions??
Im sure it would be, man beats ant, elephant beats man, and ant beat elephant.
FAIL for using all-caps

Jade Empire reference ftw?
index and ring finger? uhhh, you try and do that then think about it.
This is why you don’t play Rock Paper Scissors with Jerry Seinfeld.
Somebody should reply with a rolled up magazine and beat that idiot to death with it.
Believe it or not, but in Kazakhstan we have paper, scissors, rock and well.

What about laser sword? he beats everything?
i would be amused if who ever that person was playing with put his hand up and stopped him from punching him in the face
this was on TWI a long time ago.

If I understand correctly paper, rock & scissors are allegories to knowledge, defense and offense. Paper beats rocks because someone with knowledge can think their way past any defense. Rocks beats scissors because a suitable defense will negate any offense. Scissor beats paper because being knowledgable won’t help you against raw strength when you don’t have time to plan.
Like if you were strong enough… Even if the rock gets covered by your shitty paper doesn’t mean its immobile
COME AT ME, BRO!
And when you try to punch me in the face, I will catch you your “rock” with my “paper” and proceed to stab you with my scissors.
That’s cheating. You can’t pick paper AND scissors! Have you ever played this game before?
It would be hard to grab someones approaching fist and twist it, while keeping an open palm.
You don’t keep an open palm. You cover their rock with your paper. AKA, grab their fist when they try to punch you.
Why are you people trying to poke holes in this!? XD
Wait. This is a win? Unfunny humor with giant explanations do not equal wit.

Obviously someone hasn’t seen the end of Brazil…
I played this yesterday and when my Fiance choose paper and I choose rock, he said he won and I did punch him… he was not to impressed I can tell ya
Well in Sweden “paper” is bag. You can totally win against a rock with a bag.. if it hasn’t got a huge hole.
Which is why I’ve always played ‘rock, nitric acid, golden scissors’.
