I appreciate that my client finally shows YouTube pictures but, for those whose don't - XcQ, link stays blue.

Never understood the appeal of that stupid "joke" anyway.

[-] TeddE@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

It's just 6-7 for millennials

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

You have not changed my feelings regarding it.

No, that's schwifty five. XQc is just a clown.

[-] derek@infosec.pub 2 points 22 hours ago

No, silly, you're thinking of Ken from MXC (and right you are, Luddite). Schwifty-Five is just a song.

I really need to upload like 10 versions to YouTube with different thumbnails just so the "stupid" "joke" can live on.

I won't because I'm a lazy POS that doesn't actually care but ... Yeah.

Also I know it's a joke but I also feel like it's a good PSA in a way that you should check what you're clicking on, at least make sure the domain is legit (in this case it is since it's youtube.com but idk just my random thought about the legendary >!ricki tikki tavi rolly polly!< )

You put "stupid" in quotes but what's the "joke" here? "Haha, I lied to you, hilarious"? I'm glad people get joy out of this ... I guess ... But I'm curmudgeonly and don't get it.

edit: I do advocate checking links before you click them, though. Due credit there.

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I mean that's literally the joke. Haha you thought you were going to see one thing but you saw another.

It's just another version of 2girls1cup or tubgirl or goaste ... Ok maybe us millennials are fucked because all those examples are heinous AF compared to a little rick roll - but I mean, same concept.

Just subversion of expectation, many a joke is built on a version of that - I'd say it's ultimately what a lot of humor derives from.

Maybe it's not funny, it might not even be a joke and more of just a meme but if you are searching for an explanation there is one for you.

Yeah it's the domesticated variant of shock humor.
