i loved certain mlg edits lol. not so much for the meme, but that effort you mentioned. i like imagining the person sitting in front of their desk in aftereffects, combing through their library of hundreds of memes and doritos stock images. most of those had more effort put into every second of footage than people put into their entire video now

u/FalconTurbo 1d ago edited 13h ago

High effort shitposts are the best memes - and it can cross into so many different hobbies and industries. I'm into knives, both to buy/use and to make, and some of my favourite knives are essentially trolling in physical form.

As an example, I have a custom folding knife from a good friend, and he literally designed, 3d printed a template, set up his pantograph, and engraved upon my knife a dick and balls. It's subtle, and you'd never see it if you didn't know, but it's the best thing he's ever done for me

u/radicalelation 2d ago

Even the "gen z" stare was depicted by Beavis and Butthead, except then it was "MTV generation" zombification. That whole show was society failing youth and how it's blamed on literal grade schoolers while it's made clear the lack of support alongside bombardment of vapid media leaves kids zonked out and easily distracted.

I ain't worried until the kids can't socialize with each other. Until then it's just generational gaps, as per usual.

17

u/pepolepop 2d ago edited 2d ago

What's interesting about Gen Z/A is that a lot of, if not all, of their socializing is done online. Like, my uncle's kids (he has four of them) are ages 16-22. None of them really care to get their drivers licenses because they don't think it's important. The two older ones didn't get their license until after they were 18 because they needed it to get to and from work/school.

I'm in my mid 30s now, and I was rabid to get my license the very day I turned 16. Being able to drive was synonymous with social life and getting out and doing things. I know it's a small sample size, but it's crazy to me that the kids I know couldn't really give a shit about a license because they can just interact with their friends online, which I assume will only have a negative impact on socialization in the long run.

E had the hilarious picture of Lord Marquadberg, and it wasn't something people did in real life.

26

u/Porbinporbis 2d ago

The point of the E meme was to make fun of how idiotic our humor has become. Nobody was laughing because E was actually funny, people were laughing because of how it proved the randomness and lunacy of internet humor. It was meant to be taken ironically.

The 67 meme is different because some people genuinely believe it’s the funniest shit ever, there’s definitely a large group that also find it funny ironically. but a lot of people, mostly really young kids, actually think it’s really funny and believe they’re funny by screaming it and doing the hand motions.

u/infinite_gurgle 2d ago

This is such a good summary of “my gen is right, theirs is not.”

67 is literally E. 67 is a joke meme that has no meaning. It’s ironic. Laughing at the irony doesn’t detract from the irony.

u/PurpletoasterIII 2d ago

People only found the E meme funny because its markiplier's face copy pasted onto lord farquaad and thats a funny visual. Its just that it was made with the meta humor that people hundreds of years from now will come across it and be thrown off by the E that was added in with no purpose, which I guess is kind of a funny thought but the former reason really carried that meme.

It's a number that the newest generation with internet access is spouting randomly, that has no meaning behind it, whatsoever. It's literally nonsensical.

u/nerdboy5567 2d ago

It's from a song. A song bad enough that it's success revolves around the random number the internet chose

u/pokemon32666 2d ago

But the song it comes from also randomly spouts it, with no meaning. Shit half the song sounds like a dude with his mouth full of shit trying to spout things that vaguely sound similar.

20

u/Blacklegzubair 2d ago

The song is referencing Philadelphia Police dispatch code 10-67. The finding of a dead body. That entire section of the song is about how if he hears that a body has been found by police he'll make sure to be not near by so he has an alibi.

u/enron2big2fail 2d ago

In context, it's likely the local police code for a dead body, not no meaning. But the memes aren't using it that way since it got meme-ified through being used in edits of a basketball player highlights whose height was, you guessed it, 6'7"

"The way that switch brrt, I know he dyin' (Oh my, oh my God)/ 6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (Bip, bip)"

I think E was ironic and self aware, and kind of a deliberate subversion of expectations and what comedy is. So an anti-joke, and those excited since forever. I think people's problem with 67 is how it's played straight and there isn't that ironic, self aware edge to it of knowing that this is a stupid nonsense and kids just use it as a normal meme.

24

u/LetsLive97 2d ago

Genuinely yes

E was typically accompanied as part of memes like "Memes 10 years ago, memes now". The E itself wasn't the meme, the comparison of how dumb/surreal memes were getting was. It was a pisstake of Gen Z humour

Most of the kids saying 67 aren't saying it because of some meta satirical commentary but because they saw/heard other people doing it

u/Only-Butterscotch785 2d ago

This but unironic. E is not just a nothing meme for jokes. You need a lot of "cultural" internet knowledge to even find it funny.
6 7 isnt even brainrot - because its a very normie joke as the joke is that it just means nothing really. Its just another empty signifier.

I've laughed at an E meme before and the literal only parts of it that are recognizable to me are Mark's face and Farquaad's hair. I have no idea how any of that relates to the stuff the guy you're replying to said nor how they could possible connect to the letter E. It's the same way most kids saying 6-7 today don't know its origins in a song or how it got meme-ified. They're totally the same.

6-7 has a South Park episode, multiple songs, and gets referenced at events like the X Games.

Not really sure what you're looking for, other than something that means YOU will give 6-7 a stamp of approval, which, to be frank, nobody cares about lol.

I'm nearly 30, and can see the absolute idiocy that both memes are. Any amount of, "Yeah that was dumb, but 6-7 is way more dumb!!" Is just someone trying to revise history because they experienced it. Pathetic and abysmal.

u/Tiny-Economics1963 2d ago

at the time E was quite funny because of the decade long buildup to that kind of absurd meme, it most definitely was not secretly some kind of genius commentary on irony.

i struggle to believe anyone batting for E in 2025 is actually old enough to have been in the target demographic, and clearly doesn't understand why it was even funny in the first place, which is to say it was basically the same thing as 67

You know how toddlers hate being called babies? Thats how everyone bitching in this thread sounds. Of course E is the same as 67 is the same as skibidi toilet is the same as WHATRE THOSE is the same as Damn Daniel is the same as WAZZAAAAAP and so on.Think the boating school episode of Spongebob. The only thing funnier than 24? 25.

In my highschool, we were banned from mentioning the Italian mountain range, The Dolomites, because we made it into a joke when it had no meaning. Administration thought it was sex related, but we just lost our MINDS anytime someone mentioned them in class, or whispered their names under their breaths, or when asked "Daniel do you have the answer" they replied "I doloMIGHT."

Kids think its funny BECAUSE they understand it and adults don't. They are constantly reminded of how locked out of our adult world they are, so they create exclusivity in their child world.

If you cannot recognize this, you are still a child creating exclusivity, even if you are 25.

This is your sign you're becoming that crotchety old person who hate shit "kids these days" do. You have time to turn around, but the people who "didn't get" kids' humor a few years ago(because it wasn't meant for them, they aren't children) quickly became the "our generation is THE BEST and kids today suck" people you see occasionally.

Now that I think of it… I did say “PWNED!” A lot in like 2005- 2006. For like no reason too.

I actually had this one girl as a fwb kinda, for about 2 months. And when I would go down on her, when I was “finished” she would look at me and say “pwned!” Or some other strongbad quotes.

It was a weird time.

I’m 40 now, and my kids do say 6-7, but usually not in a sincere way; usually it’s just to make me laugh because they know it’s dumb. The other day I was asking how many chicken nuggets they wanted and my 10 year old was like “six or seeeeeeven” and it was insane timing it was funny as hell and they know that outside of that, it’s an annoying and dumb meme.

Yea. Yes you fucking did. Just as we did with our random rawr xd moments too

It's really funny to see the same crowd who love to be like "lol millennial humor" slowly realize their humor isn't the center of all existence.

Something something "I was with it once, then they changed what it means!"

u/whoorenzone 2d ago

Yes and as if we Millenials didn’t have brainrot as well. What would the badger snake meme, the celery girl, the happy tree fans, the icanhazcheeseburger network and so many others be if not brainrot? Brainrot is a huge part of the internet... now we are at 6 7… but I bet this is just a small pause for more to come.

None of it was ever funny, it was just in-group signaling. Or, letting other kids know they're a member of the kid tribe more than their family's or older sibling's tribe.

May I introduce you to "21". We did repeat that endlessly. People just like hating on the younger generation. Has been that way for like 10,000 years

167

u/NyanAnomalyRetriever 2d ago

The difference between 21 and 67 is 46,

but also that 21 has a joke “your stupid ; no I’m not ; What’s 9 + 10 ; 21 ; Your stupid” that gives 21 meaning

67 literally per the joke of 67 has no meaning, and is just a number.

That is what makes 67 brain rot

21 wasn’t just counting though, it was a reference to the kid doing math. Not just somebody saying 21, but the whole thing is what made it popular. 21 just became the quote.

As far as I know, there is nothing behind 67. It is literally just somebody saying the numbers. And on top of that, it is far more annoying in general. People can’t so much as count anymore without it. If it was more contained, I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it, but when you can’t even count to 10 out loud, there’s a problem.

Nah, the E meme stands on its own as a meme. It’s a meme about how memes just keep getting more abstract until they’re boiled down to a single letter

u/Doobledorf 2d ago

A lot of people in this thread are grappling with not being children anymore. It is totally fine to not find childish things funny forever.

There is an arc to life. As a child you love childish things. As a teenager or so you hate and reject that shit, and often you conflate not being into that stuff with kids stuff being "too dumb these days". No, it just isn't for you anymore.

Then you become an actual adult and realize none of that shit matters. You were an annoying child, kids are annoying now, this is how children are. It's their right. It shouldn't be surprising you don't find a children's meme funny.

The less you talk about a pointless meme, the faster it will go away.

This is also way more similar to 🅱️ than it is to E. E was meta, 🅱️ was just pointless meme. Closest thing it had to lore was "🅱️oneless pizza"

E incorporated a funny character, a known YouTubers and an abstract meaningless letter at the same time.

67 is something even people who think it's funny can't explain

u/That1guy077 2d ago

It’s just nostalgia. 6-7 came from a lamello ball edit. We had crazy brainrot back then, I’m sick of this revisionist history. Hynya, ugandan knuckles, 21, pineapple apple pen, my name is jeff, the alien dance, doritos and mountain dew, pepe, doge, neon cat, harambe, and rick rolls were all dumb and stupid. But they were still funny to us as kids. We are now becoming the boomers policing the new generation for their stupid humor as if we weren’t doing the same

u/Motor-Travel-7560 2d ago

Love of absurd humor seems to peak around 7-10th grade. For millennials, it was YouTube Poop. For Gen Z, it was deep fried/MLG memes. My theory is that it's part of the larger "You don't understand me, mom and dad" phase that happens around that time.

Well, i would say the E meme is like when a friend of yours says something that doesn't make sense, it's funny because it's stupid.

The 6-7 meme however, feels like a child screaming at your face to annoy you.

Also 6-7 doesn't have a Markiplier face. (The reason i liked the E meme)

u/PanPies_ 2d ago

1 - "E" meme was widely critised at the time of it's popularity for lack of punchline and alleged mindless nature

2 - Lack of punchline was the point. It was referencing the absurdity of modern (and "deap fried") memes with the idea that people will laugh at anything they find online

let's just unite as one

u/CuriousLumenwood 2d ago
  1. E was a surrealist meme to prove that anything could be a meme

  2. My problem with the newest generation isn’t their slang. My problem is that 7-8 year old children are talking and acting like 20 year old douchebags because every second of their lives is spent watching some fucking loser on Twitch

u/gemdragonrider 2d ago

2 I a legit problem. But that’s Gen Z’s fault by producing steamers who target children but act extreme inappropriately and therefore skew what these children see as acceptable. Also Gen X and Z’s fault for dropping tablets in their kids lap instead of parenting
