Ho boy. There are a lot of ways in which a pretty solid argument could be made that the Internet has made the world a worse place. At the very least, it certainly seems to have coarsened the culture, and it’s not like the culture wasn’t already uncomfortably coarse to begin with. Everyone says whatever the fuck they want on this thing, and it’s a real nightmare! People post videos of people having sex who didn’t want those videos posted duh. Everything, and I mean everything, is a gay retard. And do not even get me started on Perez Hilton. And yet, every once in awhile, something comes along that also reminds you that the Internet is kind of ah-tha-best. Today that thing just happens to be a collection of photographs of Luke Perry posing with superfans at Dragon Con (whatever THAT is), and they are so incredible. What a strange and delightful place the world can sometimes be. (Speaking of strange and delightful, there is also an amazing collection of superfans posing with the stars of Firefly here, via @timheidecker.) Well played, Internet. Perhaps we will hold off on pulling the plug on you and dumping your dead body in the Swamp of Sadness for one more day. Oh, and caption it.
Winner will receive special placement in this week’s Monsters’ Ball, which is basically our Peach Pit. (Photo via BuzzFeed.)

Spirit Day, yo. Party FAIL.
Wow. Down syndrome jokes…super classy.
My abysmaly received caption was just an innocent playful jab at Gabe’s ‘Everything, and I mean everything, is a gay retard’
Like Luke Perry identified himself as a member of the Gay Retard collective, embraced it and and awkwardly hugged his Gay Retard Fans but chose to address them in the politically correct term ‘Homosexuals with Down Syndrome’ like the super classy gentleman that he is.
All I have to say to you and all your fellow downvoters is… guys, seriously you’re all such an Andrea.
Whoops, my bad I guess. I promised myself I would never be the oversensitive dude (my brother has Down syndrome) who gets offended about blog comments for no reason. Pro tip: don’t drink and Videogum.
Seeing as how this is Videogum, I’m guessing more people were upset by the fact that you posted at the beginning instead of the end despite being tardy to the party. But I’m glad to see that so many people like Spirit Day!
Yeah, looks like he ended up with Downvote Syndr-GUNSHOT

Wow, this is totally hypnotic. All is forgiven
This is just very, very solid work, nightmare. A+.
Something about this .gif makes me sad.
Luke Perry, stoically drifting through life, awaiting that distant void, inching ever closer.
Jesus, Mans. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.
For some reason I have the urge to go watch Ghostbusters and Labyrinth.
watching this while listening to “Age of Consent” is downright amazing.
In Monster Heaven, there are no plagiarist commentators! And the streets are paved with Paul Rudd gifs.

I think they botoxed his mouth.
WOW. THat gallery is EXTENSIVE! I want to see a thisismynightmare-like gif of a bunch of the girls of Firefly. Talk about hypnotic…
There is one guy in this gif wearing a David Bowie shirt. It’s even more hypnotizing.
Can’t we all just get along? After all, if anything, this pictures reminds us all that the Fifth Element is love.
I somehow can’t respond to your Luke Perry Infinity gif because if I get too close, I’ll die, so just wanted to say thank you for making said gif and I nominate the Scott Bakula photos for a possible follow-up gif because he has sun-kissed hair and also his name rhymes with Dracula.
Is “Take a Picture” by Filter too obvious and overwrought? I will not be too hurt if you say ‘yes’…
One upvote for that, and one upvote for your Spader avatar.

More like THIS y’all!
Those sunglasses look awfully annoyed to be on that guy’s face.
Oh, cakeordeath. I can’t quit you.
And I can’t quit PERIOD.
Also, cakeordeath, do you ever stop into Videogum chat?
What is that?

We would love to have you.
OK I’M ON IT!
I like that in the first one Luke Perry is copping a feel.
Actually, he’s checking Gabe for breast cancer.
Cakeordeath, you are on FIRE today!
As a karate expert, I will not talk about the people in this photo.
“Fluffy the Vampire Slayer”
Buffy is my favourite television show in this whole world.
It’s pronounced “favorite”.
I’m Canadian. We are BOTH correct!!
Ohhh…I see. In that case, we call it a lorry.
Well, I was more referring to the original feature film version starring the one and only Luke Perry. Please refer to areyoucereal’s gif above! Its a classic! WHATS WITH THE DOWNVOTING!
KILL THE DOWNVOTING A LOT. Oh man I love the movie too.
Woah, i just realized i referred you to your own gif. HA! Sorry, i’m new to this whole monster thing!
OH. YEAH.
I was having trouble understanding that myself. DON’T HATE, APPRECIATE, PEOPLE!

Good to remember when life is Dylan you a bad hand.

I loved you on Friends?
That was Matthew Perry

Though time had taken its toll on all of the friends from that Beverly Hills enclave, one thing was for sure…Dylan and Kelly were meant to be.
Tori Spelling’s looking great these days!
So is Louis Anderson!

Next time, on a very special episode of Beverly Hills 9-0-2-Uh-Oh.

Come on, it would be CBS.

After donning a wig and changing his shirt, Glenn Beck thought he fooled everyone in line and took what turned out to be his fourth out of a series of seven pictures with Luke Perry that day. Luke Perry knew otherwise.
“Do I really have to hang onto this dude for EIGHT SECONDS?”
(Get it, you guys? You get it.)
It’s too bad there’s no audio, because the soft strains of Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On” was what really made this moment special.
That’s just a great song.
I know that there is pain, Superglue. Hold on for one more day.
“Why didn’t I think of pitching a house renovation reality show before Rob?” – Luke Perry
At this point, Luke Perry knew that his career had officially become Peach Pitiful.
… That he was a total Walsh out.
Harsh, cakeordeath. That really sideburns.
His career? A total Brendud
He would’ve known sooner if he didn’t have his head stuck in the Sanders.
Luke at it this way, at least he is still getting work.
We should probably make a sitcom out of this. I’ll call CBS.

I would attempt to come up with an amusing caption, but I clicked on the link and Summer Glau’s stupid amazing beauty face exploded my brain head.
Louis C.K. agrees:

I guess you could say she’s a real knockout*.

Can I borrow a feeling, then? Put your hand in my GLOVE of LOVE!
Indeed. That link is a video essay on Why You, Regular Person, Will Never Be a Movie Star.

How to give a hug with minimal hand on arm contact – By: Luke Perry
I thought they’d wait another couple of years before a movie “re-boot” of “It’s Pat”.
After mulling it over for a few seconds, actor Luke Perry, right, decided to keep his left hand as rigid as possible for the photo so as not to suggest any connection at all with this woman.
Here’s the thing they don’t tell you about Dragoncon. Yes, you get to have photo ops with Luke Perry and Jewel Staite. And I know that a lot of people put a lot of work into it. And I am not saying they didn’t do a bang up job. But. it has to be said: there are no dragons. None.
LIES!!! IT’S ALL LIES!!!
I think you have an action for both false representation and also violations of the National Dragon Assurance Act of 1918.
“Sorry, guys. Scheduling conflicts.”- Scott Wolf and Mark Dacascos
So it’s a Dragon CON? (oh lord)
Sears has really upped their family photo game these days. When I was a kid the best they could get was a DIY Chairey from Pee Wee’s Playhouse and maybe Pia Zadora at Christmas (if you were lucky).
Wow… Ian Ziering is looking bad.
“I didn’t know you knew Luke Perry.”
“Pfft. Know him? He’s my worthless half-brother.”

“Beverly Hills Ninja, 9021 Uh Oh”
“Lively and Funny (exclamation point)”? I have poor eye sight, but whomever said that at the LA Times better be fired by now.

Aw. 8 Seconds in Heaven.

I didn’t think my life had room for any more heroes, Ron Jenkins. But you’ve proven me wrong.

“I bet Jason Priestley doesn’t have to put up with this garbage.”
Despite all the threats and offers of cash, Aaron Spelling was never able to convince the 90210 casting directors to put his third child in the show.
Wow, the stage version of Nothing But Trouble is kind of weird.
Rush lyrics.
Paula Abdul’s “Rush, Rush” lyrics?
Sad Keanu.
“Stratospheric traces of our transitory flight
Trails of condensation held
In narrow paths of white
The sun is turning black
The world is turning gray
All the stars fade from the night
The oceans drain away”
-This guy
“Spirits fly on dangerous missions,
Imaginations on fire
Focused high on soaring ambitions,
Consumed in a single desire.
In the grip of a nameless possession,
Slave to the drive of obsession,
A spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission.”
-This guy, who is now best friends with that guy.
Is that Antony Hegarty?
Unless your comment is based on the lyrics for “Aeon,” this makes me sad.
“Hold that man in your tender clutch, hold that man I love so much…”
No, it’s Luke Perry.

This cracked my shit up. Good job, internet husband!
Christian side hug says what?
True story: I was in a terrible and lame bar with a friend and his wife 2-3 years ago when Luke Perry came in and sat with his friends at the table next to us. Which was basically our table too, as the tables were so close. My friend’s wife, who is always complaining that she lives in LA but never sees anyone famous, didn’t notice. So I quietly typed on my cell phone “Luke Perry” and passed the phone to her, expecting her to look around quietly. Instead — and she has the loudest voice of anyone I know — she shouted “LUKE PERRY?!? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?”
Four feet away, he pretended not to hear. I mumbled “He is sitting next to you” and then she (who is always super outgoing and unafraid to risk embarrassment) instead of turning to him and introducing herself fell into an unprecedented, panicked total silence for the rest of our stay there.
I will send her this photo so she can see how huggable he is.
I want to side-hug this anecdote.
It’s nice to catch up with a total heart-throb from my teenage years! But who’s that guy on the right?
Well, at first I was gonna leave this post be, since I know nothing about Luke Perry. But then I saw some interesting geometric patterns, a la Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind…
This. Always.
I made this my computer’s desktop picture. Thank you, butterpranks.
I am honored, you guys! But not exactly humbled.
Cropping fail. My ego is back to its deflated state…
Butterpranks, you are truly a champion of justice.
I can’t believe I’ve inspired someone to make this. Imma print this out and show it to my grandma!
Ow, everyone’s upvoting and I don’t get it. The photo is supposed to be just the part on the top? That’s all I’m seeing.
Please, explain me. I wanna have fun too!
Hah! It wasn’t loading.
Well done, butterpranks, it’s perfect.
He’s smiling on the inside.
Today was my favorite Videogum day ever. Wow! What a day!
I know, right? It was awesome!
The “Hugs Until Donna Martin Graduates” rally lasted a lot longer than expected.
In the early days of the zombie outbreak, celebrities desperate to stave off the inevitable catered to whatever remaining fantasies, imprinted after decades of exposure to television, still resided in the zombies’ decomposing brains. Above is the last known photo of a fully intact Luke Perry.
“I still can’t believe that bitch, Kelly, wore the same red tank-top…Dragon-prom is ruined.”
Lindsay Lohan should print this out and put it on her wall, cause this is her career in about 6 months.
And I feel sorry for this woman, being dragged through the virtual-internet-mud because Luke Perry made some bad career choices. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PERRY! Before more people get hurt!
This is the episode Kelly overcomes her addiction to diet pills self esteem and gender. 2nd best episode next to any episode the guy from The Heights beat Donna.
As a Videogum lurker, I would just like to give you all an extended slow clap for the high level of classy humor demonstrated throughout this thread. 90% of comment threads on other websites would likely be all about the bodysnarking, but you monsters brought the quality Luke Perry jokes. Thank you for a much needed laugh after a craptacular day at work.
Seconded. There’s basically no other website on the internet where I can read the comments and not expect to be so grossed with humanity that I find myself wishing that the Mayans had it right about 2012.

I have to say, Dr. Tam is looking good.
Waaaait, that’s the chick from V(which blows, but I feel the need to DVR any and all shows), but I don’t recognize anyone else. Well, except for Ghostbusters T-shirt, that’s my stepdad, Kevin.
I’m not even joking, I think my friend went on a date with that guy a couple of years ago. I’m 99.5% sure that’s him. Suddenly “That’s your boyfriend” is TOO REAL, guys!
HOLY SHIT … Brandon Walsh looks terrible

Luke Perry (left) poses with geek at DragonCon.
That guy is definitely a Dragon in disguise. You all see that right?
Look at those eyes and tell me that’s not a dragon.
Look how they lure D-list celebs into their lair with a so-called “Convention.” Knowing full well that the once toned muscle is now softened and covered in a juicy thin layer of fat. Yo-yo diets and binge eating brought on by depression and thoughts of failure have unknowingly ripened these minor celebs to create the perfect food….FOR DRAGONS!
She’s been saving herself for Luke Perry.
Do you think Luke Perry switches places with his wax duplicates in Madam Tussaud’s around the globe? You know, like on weekends and stuff? How would you even know?
Also, you guys see this still from USA’s new cop show?

Did he not have time to change?
