Once i had a friend over and we tried to print out a picture of torbjorn from over watch and it didnt work and we tried for like an hour and then gave up and traced a picture of torbjorn from the screen. why did we need a picture of torbjorn? We wanted to beat him up

You cant print gifs. But you can hand draw them.
Try holding the paper up to your screen and tracing it.

I think you are supposed to print it with special .gif paper. Regular copy paper doesn't work like that.
