When this came out, none of the were embarrassing man children desperately clinging to anything from their youth to distract them from their inevitable death. 17 years later, things have changed but that video from way back has not.
I was giving this a little thought. While this particular video doesn't rank very high to me there are many more from that era that do. As much as I still can derive enjoyment from them how do I explain them to someone who has no memories of that time because they either didn't exist or were too young to be able understand complex concepts like All Your Base Are Belong To Us? A slight tangent to make a point: About 2 weeks ago twitter discovered some ancient Sumerian joke and spent 2 days trying to interpret it.

and because of that I stumbled across one Dr Penisboob

I see this symbol and I instantly know what it is. I've seen it drawn in scrawls as graffiti and I KNOW that that's Loss. I see something kinda similar to it and I have to stop myself and question "is that loss?" If I were to try to explain it who has no concept of Loss and the history surrounding it that made it so compelling I would sound exactly the follow up tweet.

Otherwise I would have to spend an hour explaining all the things that make up Loss, the history of Ctrl+Alt+Del, the comic Loss coming out of nowhere, the way Something Awful picked it up, all the different interpretations of CADbortion, and all the while the other person's eye's grow glassy.
Let's talk about something less complex than loss.jpeg. Let's talk about Goatse. One of the things that I'll always be sad about is that nothing I ever create will be as funny as Goatse. That's because I remember a time when you could spoof links and send to people to see Goatse and it was actually effective. Now I can easily go and watch Islamic beheadings, cartel executions, Chinese workers getting caught in industrial machinery so seeing a man with an impressively stretched out anus doesn't have the same effect. Explain why a man opening his butthole to softball size is funny to someone who's never heard of it before. What do you do with a shock image that's no longer that shocking?
It's the same thing with the Ultimate Showdown. There's a reference in it about Optimus Prime. The last Transformers movie, not including Bumblebee, was in 2017 and that's probably the only way this intern even knows what an Optimus Prime is,
maybe. I'm gonna go internet shrink and say the fact that swol thot described the whole thing as a "right of passage" is that she has no children but still has the innate need/desire to share or instill her life/culture with or into someone. Bob, who also has no children, sees her doing this and gets off on both her, hence the retweet, and the idea of spreading memetic genes that he shares to a new generation. A lot of that is me stealing themes from Metal Gear Solid 2 and doing it poorly but, for me at least, there's truth to it. Bob and the many, many other non-reproductives have no future. How do they pass down themselves and create a new generation? I say by forced indoctrination and the constant feeding of member berries. It helps explain, in part, the outcry against the Florida don't groom our kids bill and any criticism against their favorite franchises.
