Members of the Something Awful Forums. They were named this after repeated verbal attacks on a website caused the owner to complain to Something Awful owner Lowtax about him and his "goons."

Goons have neckbeards, no real-life social skills, a tendency for whining about dumb superficial crap, and a knack for shutting down anyone who has anything worth making fun of. They're known for their sarcastic and elitist tendencies, though many on the internet find them hilarious.

Usually proud members of such Forums as GBS, BYOB, FYAD, or ADTRW, goons patrol the Awful Forums attempting to type funny jokes while their fingers slip off the keyboard due to Cheetos grease.

Goons spew overused catchphrases like "Do you have stairs in your house?" or "All your base are belong to us," though they are also responsible for founding and popularizing various internet memes, web sites, and trends.

There are many varieties of goon, depending on the particular forums they frequent at SA. GBS goons are often sarcastic and clever, while FYAD goons are elitist and abstract, BYOB goons are laid-back and random, CC goons are artistic and very critical, and ADTRW goons are anime-obsessed.
Goon1: That reminds me of a BYOB thread a few days ago.
Goon2: OMG ur a goon 2?
Goon1: Wow yeah do you have stairs in your base belong to us?

Goons: Why do I have to pay 10bux to get into these forums? If it costs me an entire week's allowance, than I don't want to be a goon.

Get a goon mug for your guy Manafort.
Colloquial term for frequenters of the somethingawful forums.

These internet cohorts are highly trained in areas of writing, programming, photoshopping and all things related to sitting in front of a computer. They enjoy using the words 'shenanigans', 'tomfoolery' and 'debauchery'. They also tend to be a bit xenophobic. Although this makes it harder for a typical forum user to become acquainted, this quality also makes their criticism/advice more honest, and therefore more worthwhile.
Goons pay over 15 dollars to post in a forum. This fact alone says everything.

Get a goons mug for your mother-in-law Zora.
A cheap, low quality wine often sold in 5L casks called 'goonies'. A goonie can be purchased for well under the price of a regular bottle of wine as it tastes like cat's piss, but still contains around 11%ALC/VOL. Goon is a popular drink amongst teens and the homeless within Australia, as it provides lots of booze for lots of people at a fraction of the cost of anything else on the market worth drinking.

Goonie - $15
That's 3 people drunk for $5 each!

Goon is the main ingredient in goon punch, the main tool in 'Goon-o-fortune' and 'Goon Warrior', as well as a popular accompaniment to the card game 'Kings' (waterfall).
Guy 1: Ooohhh sooo sick... Never drinking goon again...

*One week later*

Guy 2: Dude, wanna go grab a goonie for tonight?
Guy 1: Sure!
