brilliant
priceless!
but, “thine” is “you”…
actually, “thine” is “your”. “thou” is “you”
I am pretty sure there is no arcaic substitute for “I” it is just “I”.
….
i think the substitute for “I” is “one” as in “one may hath said cheezburger?”
no, “one” is used to indicate any person, male or female (i.e. “one can eat pie, but only if one has a mouth”)
the high preist maax is right, i is i in archaic English.
yup, the ‘high priest max’ is correct….i should know, i’m a grammar freak, even for ‘Olde English’….
I just love this whole little thread. I need to copy-paste it anywhere where people are complaining about lolspeak users.
Hey! We can speek English! Vry well akshully. We just choose not to! lol.
no, lolspeak misspells words and uses improper grammer (has instead of have)
It never uses incorrect subject association “you instead of I”
and yes I accidentally misspelled grammar (I must have been thinking of Red Grammer)
For the love of God, don’t use Elizabethan unless you know how. Updated, that says “Can *your* have cheeseburger?” “Thine” means “your,” just like “thy.” My eyes, your eyes = mine eyes, thine eyes. It should be “Canst I have milk cured and minced beef sandwich?”
Okay, sorry about the rant.
go away argh.
SINCE WHEN HAS ICHC BEEN GRAMMAR HQ?
Here here!
I haz a grammer. Even in lolspeak.
Teh grammerz = teh goodness. ’specially in ‘lizBethans.
lolspeek iz supposeed tew beez bad grammerz!
But twas Elizabethan, not lolspeak D:
Quite true. The style was Old English, not lolspeak.
lulz…..u sed “CURED” nstid uv “CURD.” much lulz @ u gibben teh langage yewsij lesn n den u yewz teh rong werd. “Ur in ICHC’s commentz…..makin a azz outta urself.” lulz!
Strange how you arent complaining that a Victorian-dressed cat is using Elizabethan wordy-things
The PWN has been rendered with thine wit.
An old snurt, but a good one.
*trots off happily*
OMG you people stink.
It’s ICHC. You’re SUPPOSED to mispell stuff.
No one cares about how to use lizbetan.
we chekin grammah nowz? wtf.
The replies to this comment made me laugh more than the picture it’s self xD
I’m surprised at the number of people who don’t understand what Argh was trying to say–
The point is not that the grammar is simply incorrect- obviously lolcat grammar/spelling is incorrect. The point is that, here, it’s not just incorrect usage/spelling but the actual incorrect WORD, and that it impedes understanding of what the writer was *trying* to say, and therefore teh funniez.
Basically, the problem with “thine” is that I didn’t even understand why this would be funny/why the heck ElizabethanCat would be saying that, until I read the comments and realized it was supposed to be “I can has cheeseburger?” in olderspeak. If you don’t get the reference- which I didn’t at first, thanks to the usage of the wrong word here- it’s just some random dressed-up cat asking you a really random question, and it isn’t funny.
And what is the world coming to if lolcats aren’t funny, yah?
JCat is marvlusly right. Three wrong words in fact. “Canst” is conjugation only 4 second person; I see “canst” I’m like, whut? “Thine”, informal second person, alreddy discussed; “hath” is only for third person. Whut you sed is, “You can mine has…” etc. Of course this is feyn, totally feyn because kittehs cant spk good english anyway. But part from it bein so wrong taht we can’t read it, why is kitteh spkn. inconkruous pseudo’oldenglish when kitteh is dressed like Abe Lincoln? Do i deteckt amalgamayshun of orientalist olde-worlde staireotyeps, mayhap?
Teh funniez fail here and must ther4 be suj… sub… put to construcktib anallasifs. Abuv anallasifs belies hao mutch I akshully luv you mad cat ppls.
FTW @@@@@@@@
Two months later this comment is a total WIN
An eben better now dat its eight munfs old!
akshully its najn monts old
and iz moar awshum…awsh… better one yearsh old!
Ovbiusly I ment “You can yours has.” My n00bity, let me show you it.
Or mebe u dun gets it becuz yew r teh stupod.
Ya, i tink datz it.
I must agree with jCat, and earlier, high priest Maax. The dramatization of the talking cat would be immensely exalted in the highbrow vein of wit should referenced “cat” appear to “speak” with proper Victorian English.
“Thou” and “Thine” terminology is in truth is Olde English, used by the Quakers, and present day Amish, Mennonite folken.
Perhaps, this is what the translator of the cat’s verbalization intended to inflect:
“Couldst thou render unto me a roasted cake of hot minced-meat, which is shrouded in melted milk curd, of which is blanketed with a leaf of lettuce, sliced tomatoes and onions, of which is encapsulated by both heels of the loaf of thinly sliced bread?”
A most wonderful picture, to be assured, there is no other of it’s equal, it is so great. Yet the “caption” of the rendering leaves much to be desired.
That’s the point. It’s not supposed to have good grammar. If you’ll note, the original cat says “I can has cheezburger?” …that’s not proper grammar. That’s why it’s funny.
wow, this iz frum lawng ago. Beist tohu a trollest? Mefinkso tohu awrt!
OHai, Werdy! Hast thou reedest dis thred? Tis unbeeleevubull! Dost thou thinkest this art a snurtfest????
*bursts in uninbited*
oo oo oo! i can has partay crash wif yu too?
YES! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS! And, well, ICHC has *never* been “grammar HQ”, that’s true, but this was MORONIC! Don’t hate me…..lol
But he has serious photoshop skillz ^.^
Absolutely great – I had a laugh when I saw this one
hahah minced beef sandoichi
lulz “sandoichi” I think I’, gonna use start using that word
Who freaking cares if someone isn’t perfectly using Elizabethan English? Have you looked at any of the other pictures here? “I can has cheezburger” isn’t exactly grammatically correct in modern English.
It isn’t “proper english” no, but it has rules and grammar and syntax. There are ways to slaughter English correctly!
It’s true! If you want to use Elizabethan or Victorian English as a parody, you should at least cut it up the same way you cut up modern english. If the original captioner was trying to approximate “I can has cheezburger?”, they did it incorrectly.
he is rite u no.
on ichc, there is Know proper gramor or spelling
ignor his monocle. mincedbeef cat isn’t very smrt!
Why I never!
As a frequent participant of this forum, cheezburger, I doth not find any value whatsoever in thine lampooning of neither mine intelligibilitous quotientation nor snide remarks made towards mine time duration light exposed lithograph!
Were it not for the complications of travel within the realm of temporal-differences, verily, I wouldst challenge thou to a duel!
you sir,
FAIL AT THE INTERNET.
That made me laugh harder than anything I’ve seen on this site.
Simply brilliant commentary, sir! Why, I had a jolly good laugh when I saw this!
(Bak to ICHC language.) LOLZ nice one. I liek to pull that kind of talk on mai friendz, but they doesn’t like it.
i thinkst thou meenist “dusnint”.
snerk…dis so much fun, even teh folks dat r rilly irritated sounds like dey’s hasin funs.
Okay. Really? You already messed up with your LOLcat. This is how part of the first sentence should be written:
“…I DO not find any value whatsoever in THY lampooning….”
The correct way to use ‘doth’ would be “She/he doth…”
But seriously, we appreciate your trying to be original. Just do it right next time.
you mean, “i wouldst challenge THEE to a duel”

:3 Zing.
I LOVE this.
That’s HappyCat from YTMND and 4Chan.
lame.
nuthin new under the sun, sweetpea
Obvious Cat states the obvious.
orly? kthx
Wow. Some people take these pictures waaaay too seriously.
I think it could be argued that the misuse of Elizabethen was intentional, but who FREAKING CARES?
Christ.
jessy is rite
Jesse is most certainly NOT right. No way was that intentional. It way was too stupid, even for ICHC.
Man, this is one of my favorite pics. Even if the Elizabethen wasn’t intentional, it just makes it that much funnier. Besides, it isn’t like a Cheezburger is a minced beef sandwich, in or out of Elizabethen.

Isn’t the point of lolcats pics to mangle the language? I mean, how is “I can has cheezburger?” more correct that “can your have cheeseburger?”
;D thinx u correcting.

shh… he be new heres.
This is me! HAHA!
Urmmm – donchu meen “This is I?”
this picture is one of my favorites. did someone seriously try to school on elizabethan english in the comments? i mean, really? you tried that? wow.
Yes. Yes, I did. Because it’s so incredibly WRONG.
You all are missing the point! This cat is not selfish; he asks if you can has a sammich! He does not wish to enjoy one for himself, ergo “thine” is the correct term to use here.
U freakin’ win, cat.
Lol….but aren’t ALL cats selfish? But ‘thine’ still isn’t the right word–it would be ‘thy’.
that is a mouthfull…
Catoply instead of Monoply lol
Wow, proper wow
O fine news today, kind sir! An emissary of the Queen herself hath deliver’d unto this house such noble sandwiches, the very like of which you requested! But the emissary hath eated them.
FTW

Why is the cat wearing Victorian doctor costume, and speaking in Elizabethan Poet?
To maketh those with sticka up their asseth asketh questions.

talk about the collective unconscious, just last week I gave a talk about LOLCAT syntax at Cambridge University!
It is consistent lolcat grammar, although not entirely so, and it mimics Specific Language Impariment.. this is where the funny comes in….

“i can has cheezburger?”
sir yes sir we under stand I)
first – downloading now
I think this pic is hilarious. I usually tend to not laugh at most of the LOL cat pics, some are just stupid. But I like this one. I am attracted to antique and vintage looking photos. If you don’t find this pic funny, you’re not alone. My boyfriend hates it. But to whoever made this, genius.
You’re right, some ARE just stupid. Like this one.
this lol is perfect in all ways.
this is probaly the best lolcat
[...] O, an I can haz cheezburger naow? [...]
[...] O, an I can haz cheezburger naow? [...]
Uh, why is everyone obsessing about “thine”? One of the best things anout ICHC is that the grammar is SUPPOSED to be wrong.
BTW, great pic!
Totally what an LOLCAT would be if he/she was into the band Untextraordinary Gentlemen.
