Who is the HA! HA! Guy?

Legend has it that The HA! HA! Guy or Laughing Quaker burst on to the Internet mid-2003 on the Something Awful forums during one of the site's regular Photoshop contests. The original Forbes' advertisement was modified to read "I'm Using THE INTERNET!!!1" in a witty play of sarcastic humor.


Soon after, the HA! HA! Guy migrated to the Fark.com forums where his brief nuggets of humor helped lighten the highly flammable Fark atmosphere, as a breath of minty fresh air smooths the ruffled edges of awkward conversation. It didn't take long for the HA! HA! Guy to reach celebrity status on the forums and the Internet at large.

It was around this time that the HA! HA! Guy's fame began to impede the rights of others. During his peak, the Laughing Quaker would pop up in almost every thread, much to the dismay of serious Farkers and administrators. Some members were even banned for spreading the joy of the HA! HA! Guy. This period became known as 'The Grey Wave'.

In an attempt to permanently extinguish the HA! HA! Guy's celebrity flame, Fark administrators started the now legendary thread: "Put your HA!HA! guy pictures in this thread and stop threadjacking the rest of them". Rather than over popularizing the cliché as hoped, this thread only served to strengthen the HA! HA! Guy's resolve. Thread number 1578737 become one of the most popular threads in Fark history.

The HA! HA! Guy, loved for his humor and brevity in the most mundane and random situations, has again returned to true form embodied in the future of door and cube enhancements. The HA! HA! Guy Whiteboard is your ticket to a new world, one unshackled from the demands of flowery diplomacy and tact. This Utopian future can be yours any time, any place with your purchase of a HA! HA! Guy Whiteboard.
