View source for Bricks

'''Shit bricks''' is a popular and ubiquitous exclamation from [[Anonymous]] whenever he sees or realizes something extremely surprising. Typically used in reference to surprising/mind-blowing plot twists in various anime, videogames, comics, books, etc.

The meme started out in 'creepy threads' on [[/b/]], when Anonymous posted several innocent-looking pictures that surreptitiously contained something very freaky if you looked at it hard enough (for instance, posting a picture of a forest where the branches came together to form the shape of a fetus) with the caption "'''when you see it, you'll shit bricks.'''" The meme quickly took off and spread to the rest of [[4chan]], and since then, whenever anyone sees anything very surprising or unexpected on any board, they will "'''shit bricks'''." If they see something extremely surprising, they'll shit enough bricks to build a house.
