It never ceases to amaze me how soon people forget the old codgers that they used to roll their eyes at when they were growing up, with their "in my day" attitude... only to go on to do the very same thing in their older ages.

Buffalo ill Posted yesterday at 10:35 AM Posted yesterday at 10:35 AM I'm in my mid 40s and got a chuckle out of these short videos. It gives me a Montey Python mixed with lovecraftian madness vibe. 1 1 Quote

colin Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago it's pithy one liners and quick gags, but done in meme cut up format. think of the jokes from airplane (which is obviously much better than this slapped together stuff) but in a silly social media memecentric cut up format. the weird al stuff above is a good analogy, if you think about how robin williams would rip off stream of consciousness stuff, kinda a mix of all of that. 2 Quote
teef Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago how dare anyone bring weird al into this. how dare you. 2 Quote

HOUSE Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago I can listen to all these people on WGR. Between commercial breaks of course... Quote
f0neguy Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Kinda off topic but if you haven’t seen Weird Al (and his band) live you should. It’s a great time, can’t recommend them highly enough. Quote
Lost Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago These kinda remind me of the Bills 2022 schedule release video. 2 Quote

I’d also argue your title should be social media team on LSD. Not sure crack is the best fit I've never done crack so I can't argue with the OP but I had the same thought. If we're trying to identify the underlying drug, "trippy" is one word that comes to mind. 6 hours ago, SoMAn said: If that ADD-inspired bizarro nonsensical content is appealing to the under-21 Gen Z audience, the mental acuity needed to appreciate it may explain the sub par service and products we frequently get at fast food restaurants these days. FWIW it looks to me like Josh and the players enjoy these... their participation strongly implies that and if it's alright with Josh... (cue my Dad saying"If your friends all jumped off a bridge...") 6 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: If this kind of content was just for 21 and under - TikTok wouldn't be what it is. I assure you, it's not just limited to 21 and under. And to be quite frank, I find this kind of out of touch, generational superiority post way more embarrassing than the cringiest TikTok. I'm not cool, hip, relevant or whatever buzz word is synonymous these days but I agree. IMO the condition you describe isn't good for the mind or the soul. I think if you can't just laugh at these it's a shame. 3 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: Every generation that came before criticizes the trends of the generation that comes after.

This is a good description but there's also a nonsensicalness mixed in. Most/much of the stuff in these is totally unexplainable. I think they're just trying to get a reaction more than they're trying to send a message. Quote
