Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Guynamednelson]

Funny how Gen Z makes fun of children's brainrot content like Skibidi Toilet, meanwhile we were watching MLG videos.

Outside of cases where toddlers refuse to be pottytrained because they're afraid of being bitten by male_07, Skibidi Toilet isn't even the worst thing they could watch on YouTube.

Some of that stuff that's worse is actually meant to be watched by kids, unfortunately.

TBH I think it's only brainrot if they're really young and watching it for hours at a time. You know, the "raised by their iPad" kids.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

They probably wouldn’t be a great fit, anyways. Hater’s a jerk with a superiority complex who isn’t opposed to using force to get what he wants, but it’s shown that he’s deeply lonely and insecure and he’s just lashing out (sort of like Bowser).

Dominator’s a straight up sadist, and she’d probably encourage the worst parts of him by abusing his desire for companionship to get him to do some truly heinous things.

What we gotta do is get Hater on Tinder or something, and find him someone nice who’ll bring him down to Earth…or whatever other planet.

I know. It’s just had the potential to be the whole Roger & Jessica Rabbit/Gomez & Morticia Addams vibe. The tall dominant powerful lady and the weird little gremlin who makes her laugh and they care about each other deeply. I love that kind of relationship. But it wasn’t meant to be in this case.

Tbf they're not any different than the kids that were raised via unrestricted internet access on Windows XP or 7.

It's different in that there are now YouTube content farms specifically made to profit off of them.

On the flipside, the older gen had the brainrot flash games that were Elsagate before Elsagate.

The strange midpoint between the Rage Comics of old and modern post ironic memes.

Well that and...shock sites were more of a thing in the days before Elsagate. You don't wanna know what that girl was doing in that tub.

I mostly just stuck with the Nick and Cartoon Network flash games so I have no idea what you're talking about and I'm afraid to ask lol

I did too, before I discovered Homestar. At least falling down that rabbit hole helped me understand what the hell my classmates were talking about when they said they went to Albino Blacksheep and saw traumatizing stuff.

Well that and Homestar itself is way more kid-friendly than 99% of Flash cartoons at the time, but it's a gateway drug.

I miss MLG

Our humor when we were in elementary was Annoying Orange and FRED. And both got TV shows.

Yeah Skibidi doesn't look all too bad rn.

I miss MLG

No you don't.

[cashregister9]

Super disappointed that the Battlefront collection is apparently busted.

Although I can't say I am shocked after Aspyr did some scummy **** with the Kotor 2 port

I really need to sit down and watch Homestar sometime. Been seeing clips of it for years and just never got around to it.

Oh God, the memories! WHY DID YOU MAKE ME REMEMBER

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Invincible really came back from his month long break just to drop another peak episode of his show

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

One Piece and Pirate101 was my 2 very big brainrots as a kid I think

 

[SnakeFighter64]

We need another Nintendo direct. I need to roll those DK dice again.

Best case: June
Worst case:…See you at the Switch 2 reveal.

At the end of the year…

 

[PK-remling Fire]

For me, this was my childhood brainrot...

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I mean, they could build up the hype longer and reveal the switch 2 in June despite it releasing next year.

 

[StormC]

I think a June reveal is pretty likely for Switch 2 even if it's Q1 2025. While they could wait until the fall and have a shorter marketing cycle, they want a smooth transition between consoles and frankly may not have much to release for the holidays to begin with.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I feel like the majority of Millennials and Gen Z who complain about Skibidi Toilet either never saw GMOD films or completely forgot just how chaotic and nonsensical they could be.

there's a whole sub genre of gmod machinas which are literally just "haha sex and loud noises funny" that I ate up as a kid, lol

also stuff like this

Ya really need to open your PMs bro, it's awkward as hell having to send you DMs publicly lol



But anyway

Spoiler

How we feelin about both Monument Mythos and Mandela Catalogue creators being outed as scum?

I usually keep them closed from people I don't follow due to not wanting rando messages from members I don't know (which happened more than once before I changed my settings) and to prevent spam messages from bots, but I can still follow you if you need to send me a PM.

But more significantly:

Spoiler

Okay, this is news to me.

I don't know much about the Monument Mythos situation and couldn't find any news about it, but I just read an article about the Mandela Catalogue and Alex Kister situation That one's absolutely awful if it's true.

That said, I'm still behind on the news. Has there been much evidence to confirm or backup the allegations?

 

[Shroob]

Gmod in 2008: haha funni meme

Gmod in 2024: insert generic spooky dot background track

I bet they’ll have something for the Switch this holiday season, but it probably won’t be a huge release.

Spoiler

Mythos guy outright confirmed it himself. Put up a big "I'm sorry" vid on their subreddit. Do with that info as you will, but I'm a bit... let's say not eager to trust them after they outright admit to being manipulative/abusive of their S/O.


As for Mandela, I'm still learning a bunch myself, but apparently several actors have pulled out including Gabriel's voice actor.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has wrapped filming

Suicide Squad is so back until the next SS project bombs

We dodged a bullet

I feel like the majority of Millennials and Gen Z who complain about Skibidi Toilet either never saw GMOD films or completely forgot just how chaotic and nonsensical they could be.

The only thing that's confusing to me is how much it blew up.

Over almost 2 decades there's been thousands of GMOD videos exactly like it and thousands of higher effort ones.

It kind of feels like it just won the lottery.
Or maybe I underestimated the power of literal toilet humor.

You'd be surprised how "A toilet" somehow ends up being funny to kids.


I remember when sprite comics were all the rage in the early 2000's, and a friend of mine was helping me make one, and his suggestion always kept up being "Make the punchline toilets."

A huge shame. I hope they try to fix this (but this is Aspyr we're talking about).

Algorithm luck+Most of the videos are formatted to be YouTube Shorts, and YouTube really wanted to push YT Shorts when the first Skibidi Toilet came out.

Apparently the Monument Mythos situation was revealed a while back, but Kister's allegations are new and reading up more on them, they're looking more and more likely to be true.

I still plan on waiting to see if he has any evidence to the contrary of the claims, but the odds aren't likely.

As memeable as the edited combo of songs is, I guarantee you the series wouldn't be nearly as popular were it not for the Camera Men, Speaker Men and TV Men.

Random loud noises were more my thing as a wee pea-brained lad, but yeah I get the appeal.

A huge shame. I hope they try to fix this (but this is Aspyr we're talking about).

I really wish Nightdive was the one working on it, but they were already busy remastering another Star Wars shooter, funnily enough.

Yeah, and they were busy actually redoing the graphics in Dark Forces for higher resolutions, instead of passing them through an AI upscaler.

Got my tickets for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire for the 29th!

If my dad can't join me, maybe I'll ask my uncle.
