50% off moments I quote daily but no one understands 

if you've stumbled upon this video without knowing whats going on, this video is clips of the abridged version of the anime Free!, its made my Octopimp and the link of the full abridged series is in the description of the video ^^

To anyone who watched 50% Off from the start, if you want to have an existential crisis like me here's your reminder that the series started almost 10 years ago 💀💀

"Yes we can" is still my favourite joke. But all the Haru monologues is my favourite series of jokes. "ONE OF YOU shot the Haru that can read."

Literally anything Thugisa says is quotable gold

personally i've never forgotten "i don't need a piece of paper to tell me how to swim. or how to fck dean winchester"

"You can't catch me gay thoughts! Yes we caaaann~~" ICONIC

I say "this reminds me of prison" a lot for someone who refuses to cross the street when the light isn't green

the delivery of “I like mackerel :)” “me too haru” “I DON’T like mackerel” “shut up haru😡” will always be so funny to me

I cONSTANTLY do the "singing the DuckTales theme while in the midst of something intense." It's my favorite bit.

Haru's inner monologues are like my intrusive thoughts.

The fact it's been years since I've seen this abridge yet can quote it all from memory

This was such a heavy rotation in my household as a teenager that my mom adopted "take that sass and put it in your pocket" and still uses it on my siblings to this day

“Shut up Haru” and “one of you shot the Haru that could read’ are my most quoted

My favorites me and my friend quote daily: 1. "She's a witch! Push her in the pool!" 2. "They hate each other, but they also f*** each other." 3. "Why are you naked?" "I'm naked?" 4. "What does it say? I don't know Haru, ONE of you shoot the Haru that could READ." 5. "The looser must commit, swimpuku." 6. "Sl*ts? Prison? Nagisa?!"

"Look at his stupid glasses and his dumb outfit, I HAVE TO HAVE HIM!!" and "Biiitch you gonna be mine." Are sum my boyfriend WISHES I'd forget 😂

So we all collectively remembered at the beginning of this year that 50% Off was a Thing That Happened ... and its STILL ICONIC 😂😂

So this is where the "where he going with my man?? Why he touching my man???" comes from😭😭

"I didnt think of killing you" "awww thank you" gets me everytime 😭

I unironically quote “Good thing I wore my heelies” almost everyday I don’t even own heelies

to this day "HE SHOT HARU" echoes in my mind, also Im sobbing this is almost 10 years old

oh my god. this is why my head plays the ducktales theme when im driving. i completely forgot where it came from. this mystery has been solved, thank god

Favourite quote will always be "We try to keep this area of the pool dry.. so whatever you're doing is gonna have to stop." Honourable mention being, "I STABBED a girl in the YARD."

Anyone else jealous of Haru's mind? He is living life in that brain of his.

"He kept going on about some ocean gnome" "Goblin" "What?" "Ocean goblin. Makotos dad told me about it. If you dont brush your teeth, he steals your bones"

"Hey, Rei, take your sass, put it in your pocket." "what?" "your sass, just put it in your pocket." 50% off is such a classic, I am glad this was recommended to me 🤣

even though it's been years, this abridged series has aged like a FINE wine. truly iconic

Fucking loosing it over the fact Rei is a patrick bateman bit and I didn’t pick up on this when i was younger

One of my favorite quotes has to be "I can see them..all the Harus..there's so many!" "Nagisa you should go lay down" "Okay"

Thugisa calling Rin every shark movie title in existence EXCEPT his actual name was my favourite bit

"Oh no.. he's hot when he's sad" is literally me to every fictional man ever

One of the bits that always gets me is one of Haru’s monologues where one Haru is baked asf and calls the other Haru “nark”, “Nark Wahlberg”, “Nark Ruffalo”, etc etc.

“EYES ON THE ROAD!” “Truck.” “AAAAA-“ has lived in my head for so many years. One of my faves in this comp is “hello fellow students. join swimming bird team.” bc that’s basically how it goes in the actual show.

I literally quote ‘she’s a witch, throw her in the pool’ everytime I’m near water

I just love how "gay thoughts", "I ship THEM" and "Where he goin with my man?" have taken off as their own memes outside of the fandom, constantly appearing in countless edits in all kinds of fandoms when I watched 50% off for the first time I just went "ooohh so THAT'S where that's from" every couple of seconds lmao truly iconic

"I hate it when you leave, but I love watching you go" I quote this on a daily basis... Also " Just because you can't read the words, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the book in another way.....oh"

Anytime I can I say out loud "I don't know Nagisa, how's your mother drinking problem?" "Below the belt, Makoto" it's my favorite quote

I just realized all the Harus were singing in the DuckTales song bit

50% off lives rent free in my head. Every so often, I hear "Why he touchin my man? *Where he goin with my man?* -switch knife activation- " playing in my head for no reason at all.

I’ve never watched Ducktales in my life, but I internally quote 3:17 at least a dozen times every time I swim laps. That and “I’m going to be late for anime school!!” have irreversibly changed my brain chemistry edit: I somehow forgot the cover of the credits song 😭 oh to be 14 watching anime crack again edit #2: since this has gotten some attention, I would like to clarify that because I never actually watched Ducktales I literally _only_ quote what Haru sings in 50% off. I don't know the rest of the lyrics or what the melody is and I don't ever plan to learn; "Life is like a hurricane here in Duckberg" is my 3.5 second swimming anthem and I refuse to change

Doing all the Haru brain bits had to be so much fun lmao

"oh no, he's hot when he's sad "

Haru's mindscape is one of the funniest bits

"bitch you gonna be mine" IS ONE I ALWAYS SAY

“I know what it says. I can read…I can’t read.” Is quoted in my house every day lmao

I quote variations of “He is laser-focused in, the only thing on Haru’s mind right now is THIS race” almost daily

Once one of my students said he couldn't read (I know he can he was just being silly with me) and I responded "who shot the Haru that knew how to read?" it was the first thing that came to mind if I had any shame I would have been embarrassed. The student was just confused.

16:27 there's something so special about just watching the seagull's wings flap back and forth incorrectly 😂

i haven't retained any information from school but i remember haru's inner monologues word for word

This one forgot to add my all time favourite Haru inner monologue: "you should kill them all, Haru" "Okay!" The delivery of the "Okay", the casual agreement, the immediate response just gets me every time :') Whenever I need to say okay to something I channel this energy lol

Nah cause Rei being Patrick Bateman is the funniest shit ever

“Look at him in his dumb glasses and stupid outfit. I have to have him!” Is what I thought meeting my husband lol

"WHAT YEAR IS IT?" has been a joke in my family for years now-

"What, you couldn't find a water bottle on the way to tie you over?" "snap!" still kills me

“only god can judge” is a phrase i use WAY too often

Honestly, as a former swim team person, the singing something stupid in your head instead of focusing on the race is the most accurate thing here.

my brother and i quote "NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE" on a daily basis

its so crazy how rei is a parody of patrick bateman, the american psycho, and then a gay delinquent strong arms him into dating and now he's just a normal guy. love cures all

My personal favorites are: -"Haru? We're gonna throw the tabs in the pool now." "Yes. I am Haru." "Oooo that's probably not good." -"We went to JAIL!" "Nah man we went to holding. There's a BIIIGGG difference." -"Oh my god we don't have TIME for this! HARU THERES A POOL!" "....pooooooll?" *Hardcut* "Damn they got me again." -"I STABBED a girl in the YARD!" "Cold-blooded!" (I absolutely use that last bit in daily conversation, complete with inflection.) -"I know what it says. I can *read*." *Beat* "I can't read." -the entirety of the "USURPER!" Bit. Absolute comedy gold -"This reminds me of prison. THIS reminds me of prison. This DEFINITELY reminds me of prison." -"SHINJI WAS A BITCH-ASS POSER!" (An insult i use regularly btw) -"Yo, homeboy looks like Shark Week i ain't messin' with that." ....you know what actually I'm pretty sure i can quote this entire series near-verbatim. With the bonus cuts. Don't know what that says about me but it's probably nothing good 🤷

i never realized how deeply this series affected me until this video. these quotes are embedded in my soul. a side effect of watching free and 50% off as a 13 year old, i guess

Man, this compilation sure brings back memories for me... :)

"This reminds me of prison" is quotable gold

"Im not going out there without a parachute!" Will forever be my response when someone askes me to leave my room

“I need a soda or therapy or both” that’s going to be my new quote

“ONE OF YOU shot the Haru that can read” was a fundamental part of my humor developing

no the rei making nagisa lose the rap battle bc he ordered a shirley temple line is already gold, but tHEN nagisa saying he wants to share the things that are important to him w rei??? perfect

My best friends literally made a cake based on this a few years back. It was all cute and colorful with a Nagisa figure on it, and they wrote out "This reminds me of prison!" to the confusion of my family. Still love and quote this series to this day

I quote Rin’s “WHAT YEAR IS IT” regularly and often

We Stan maladaptive daydreaming Haru

the way I haven’t watched this in years but can still recite 95% of the lines verbatim is kinda insane 😭

this was a beloved abridged series and love that people still have great memories of it

Octopimp is a legend simply for this, not discounting everything else he does

Not gonna lie, I could listen to Haru's mind for hours. Like the Catan, Mario Kart, and Legends of the Hidden Temple parts along with the freaking John Cena bit XD

this will always be so iconic 😭😭 “one of you shot the haru that can READ” “i hate it when you leave but i looove watching you go” “you can’t catch me gay thoughts - yes we can~” these have been living in my head rent free for years

OH THIS IS WHERE I GOT “this reminds me of prison” AND “oh no…he’s hot when he’s sad” FROM! i’ve been quoting those for YEARS and fully forgot where they came from.

50% Off shaped my humor

I regularly quote “take your sass and put it in your pocket.” I can also still to this day quote along to the entirety of episode 8 and do not know why it is permanently engraved into my brain.

the fact that this still holds up as hilarious today is incredible

How is this fandom still alive 🤣 thank you for the hilarious nostalgia trip

So sad that “homeboy looks like shark week” didn’t make it, that shit was FORMATIVE

Same, quite a few lines live in my head. "I smell boys being gay!" "Swim team nothing, I'm gonna make that boy my bride!" The bit about joint practice being low-hanging fruit to Nagisa only to then hear it's at 4:20...

my fav one is from Gou "they hate each other, but they also FAWK each other" & Haru dirty inner monologue with the ocean LMAO

Honestly this version is way better than the original

I can't believe "He's got tiny baby hands" was not in this compilation, that one has branded itself into my mind forever.

“I wasn’t thinking about killing you” “awww thank you” and the Haru reading saga, ‘you’re already on the Christmas card’ and live rent free in my head and there’s a few more not even here. Gosh thank you for the trip down memory lane

I started watching these as they were originally coming out and I was still in high school. Upon my annual rewatch of the series I realise that I quote the majority of the show (and the blooper reels) so much that I don’t even remember it’s where all the quotes all came from 😂

I can´t over Haru´s thoughts. But the one that took me out was "Hey Haru?" "Yeah?" "WHAT??" i can´t breathe

One of my favorites is "I WANT YOU TO SHARE THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ME"

I forgot how much I love this abridged XD

16:11 is such an underrated moment, i internally quote "NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE" all the time

"I pick Bowser, and I play to win." Quoted still to this day 😂

I love how u can tell they all had so much fun with this

If I get pulled into Splash Free again I'm blaming you

I understand why they stopped doing the series but sometimes I just think how the other characters would've sounded like

"haru?" "rin? if you're here and i'm here....WHO IS FLYING THIS PLANE?" "What?" "What" "let's talk outside" "im not going out there without a parachute!" this always kills me

“45 minutes is way back for me” same buddy

Rei going “LISTEN to ME” in like his first episode is something I genuinely quote on the regular

I say ‘I’m going to throw you into the sun’ ALL THE TIME!!

I have been quoting this damn show since High School it is a literal comedy goldmine

“You broke out didn’t you?” “WHO TOLD YOU THAT”

7:41 i have referenced this specific one so many times and it kills me that nobody gets the whole joke
