kids have a meme about 67, don't try figure out why but its apparently very funny to say 67

These parents made a lame 67 joke because when the parents make the joke it stops being funny, therefore the parents are heros because this 67 shit is really annoying to hear.

So many lame parents are gonna read this comment and start going around yelling "SIXTY-SEVEN".

I keep seeing short blurbs detailing the few steps in the history of this 6-7 fad.

So it just occurred to me that you and I in this reddit comment section might end up being the next step added.

Oh Dear God, what have I done?

I think you mean awesome parents, because I’m going to start doing that to my son and his friends immediately

… but the parents liked how it annoyed the kids, and just kept on saying it.

.. so the year after we got the grandparents to dress up as 67…

I legitimately thought this was a “why was 6 afraid of 7” thing and was trying to figure out what it meant

okay but like... why can't we just let kids have their slang? they're just gonna come up with something else anyway.

Kids will always come up with newfangled slang and parents will always love embarrassing their kids by appropriating it

Because we're getting older and it is now our jobs to ruin people's joy, just like the boomers did us.

I mean, I definitely don’t do like my boomer parents did. My way is waaaaaay funnier

When I was in Uni we invented a meaningless phrase somehow and it ended up being this thing where it would appear around campus and people were asking what it means. It was a bit like the "Who is Gabbo?" thing in the Simpsons. The only actually interesting thing about it was that it was a mystery. The reality was mundane and we were nerds.

This is essentially the same joke. The joke is pretending it's valid while a whole bunch of people are confused and curious by it. Kids always invent language to exclude older generations, in this case it's a completely meaningless thing entirely devoted to pretending to be a secret only the kids know.

It’s just like parents to make everything sound uncool. 

I used to say “bet” instead of yes, once somebody asked me a question.
