First time I saw Skibidi Toilet I didn't have the context of it being popular with kids so I assumed it was just regular shitpost and it made me laugh
I have no idea how people who enjoyed 2016-2020 meme culture reacted so negatively to it
The problem with happy tree friends is it was the same joke every single time. Like ok yeah, the juxtaposition is amusing but that's literally it
Ha ha is so funny they kill Kenny in every episode lmaoo
Holy shit Happy Tree Friends... I remember being a kid and all my friends who had older brothers or cousins talking about it and I was like ->
Stickdeath and its seemless transition from slightly mask on racism to fully mask off racism after 9/11
Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.
Yeah the millenial reaction to Skibidi Toilet is their test for if they will Become Boomer or not.
Oh god Happy Tree Friends was RANCID.
There's some good stuff from that generation too though admittedly. Homestar Runner was at its peak around the same time.
I hated it too.
I'm getting some weird memory that could be completely wrong but I believe my sister was showing me these and excitedly said "this is banned in Cuba!" I was always disgusted by it despite liking "edgy" humor like idk aqua team or whatever and if Cuba banned it, good, though I'm struggling to imagine why that would happen beyond there being poor internet access or just blocking American IPs
I have a soft spot for happy tree friends, I didn't have internet back then and people shared weird shit on CDs. That was my first contact with edgy humor like that
Oh how the turns are tabling, or some shit. I have become boomer.
skibidi toilet was more like 2005-2010 meme culture imo, it was exactly like all the shitty "idiots of gmod" shitposts, just ramped up to 11. I really didn't get the negative reaction from all the "adults" considering I was laughing at the exact same type of shit when I was 13. I'm in my thirties now
yup, spiritually millennial
funnier than 90% of zoomer memes no offense
Pretty much
The people who were laughing at the Doctor Hax stuff in the late 2000's are now saying 'this is too far, sir'
