A still photo captures the board and the expression. The GIF captures the performance. Charlie's arms never stop moving. He points at one paper, swings to the next, traces invisible connections with a cigarette between his fingers, and addresses his audience with the breathless confidence of a man who cannot be reasoned with. The motion is what separates \"I found something interesting\" from \"I have not slept since Tuesday and I need you to look at this board.\" For the still image version, see Charlie Conspiracy.","sourceVideo":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Glfe6UeXQ","format":"classic","howToMake":["Charlie is mid-rant and looping.

He points left. He points right. He traces a line between two pinned photographs with the intensity of a man prosecuting a case before an imaginary jury. The still version shows a conspiracy theorist at work. The GIF shows him mid-presentation, unable to pause, unable to stop connecting dots that may or may not exist. Each loop restarts the rant from the top, and somehow he seems more convinced each time.","definition":"Animated GIF of Charlie Kelly from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia frantically gesturing at a conspiracy board covered in papers and red string.
