Todays rip: 21/04/2024

we are number one but with outdated memes over it

Season 1 Featured on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 7: Part mm2wood Also on: Now That's What I Call Quality!, SiIvaGunner: Starter Kit & Essentials

Ripped by NBGMusic

When I wrote yesterday's post on Five Nights of Snop Dog, I made a bit of an error in my research. See, though "Five Nights of Snop Dog" was an actual request received, it was actually fellow ripper NBGMusic who got it on his SoundCloud, not Chaze the Chat as I'd claimed. Well, as fate would have it, NBGMusic just so happens to be responsible one of the most well-known rips on the SiIvaGunner channel - and not only is it also tied to Snop Dog himself, its also tied to the glorious age of Montage Parody videos. And with Season 8 having finished an MLG event of its own just yesterday, it's as if the stars all aligned - I can think of no better time to cover we are number one but with outdated memes over it.

Now, the aforementioned magnificent 4/20 event was far bigger than usual for the channel, casting the net to not just cover weed-smoking jokes, but to cover the age of internet shitposting where it was at its most notorious - Montage Parodies. The years from 2012 to 2016 were absolutely FILLED with these, in a way that feels almost lost on the current internet generation, as very few seem to actually remember it fondly. Because like, it was all a bit stupid, wasn't it? Rage comics and impact font memes are remembered nostalgically, YouTube Poops are cherished to this day and continue to see prevalence both in general and on SiIvaGunner - we wouldn't be getting rips like Mr. 2​.​718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966967627724076630353547594571382178525166427427466391932003059921817413596629043572900334295260595630738132328627943490763233829880753195251019011573834187930702154089149934884167509244761460668082264800168477411853742345442 or Crompton Racing if there weren't people still enthusiastic for them. Montage Parodies were comparatively really short lived, and even back in 2016 SiIvaGunner channel itself didn't really touch them. Sure, we got rips with Smoke Weed Everyday as the joke from time to time, like with Ganja Man 9: Hash Blunt Hash (Shorty's Stage), but I think most people already saw the signs that MLG videos weren't really sticking around. Or at least, that's what *I* thought back in the day - evidently, the whole thing had just a little bit more juice left in it.

Because at the tail end of the channel's life, in September 2016, we received we are number one but with outdated memes over it. Sure, it wasn't the first We Are Number One rip on the channel, but it might as well have been - it landed right as the meme was taking off, and garnered views by the thousands in absolutely record time. For a decent while, it even was THE most viewed rip on the channel - and, funny enough, a 2017 Mel (that's me!) left a comment on the video befuddled over just how popular this MLG video was. Because, like, it's right there in the title - it's we are number one but with outdated memes over it, I thought we were all in agreement that Smoke Weed Everyday and "This is a certified hood classic" and Skrillex and all of that stuff wasn't funny anymore?

So then...why is it still so fucking good?

There's been a bit of a running joke with in the SiIvaGunner Discord (which you should join, by the way!) over how I actually hate this rip, or at least don't have positive feelings toward it. And I'll be honest - I hadn't really listened to it in a long time, and I think for a long time I was still a little bit fed up with MLG videos in general. I don't think they have any shot of becoming relevant again in the same way that YTPMV or rage comics do, ironic-or-not, but it was also kind of presumptuous to ascribe that same kind of obnoxiousness to we are number one but with outdated memes over it. Because sure, it's using outdated memes - but NBGMusic isn't using them in halfmeasures or with the intent to make the audio unlistenable. It's all playing to We Are Number One's melody and progression, which in of itself is honestly kind of novel these days - ever since we got the song's stems released in late 2016, most rips on the channel featuring the jokes have been full on arrangements with its instruments a la Chillin’ Like A Villain or We Are Number 4 (Golden). I love those rips as well, they're all incredibly fun takes on the song - but it's an entirely different flavor from how we are number one but with outdated memes over it goes about doing things.

Even though the title isn't lying, its definitely underselling the rip, it almost makes it sounds like a fucking MrMrMANGOHEAD video (Remember him? Shrek-face Mike Wazowski?). There's a lot of noise to be sure, but its all coordinated in really fun ways! I love the repeating "WHAT" samples playing as Robbie begins his lecturings in trickery, changing to samples shouting "HEY" in the next verse, ironically going against the lyrics' point of "not making a sound". And that's just what happens to the vocals - the main hook of the rip, of course, is how the iconic saxophone hook that plays inbetween the vocals is here matched with pitch-shifted Smoke Weed Everyday's, almost exactly like the aforementioned Ganja Man 9: Hash Blunt Hash (Shorty's Stage) - but its paired with sprinklings of memes tied to MLG parodies, like the legendary "MOM GET THE CAMERA", or of course bits and pieces from Skrillex music. I fucking love that in particular, actually: how traces of Skrillex's dubstep sound are heard in the rip from the very start, yet at 0:56 we're finally given full payoff with the iconic "YO SKRILL DROP IT HARD", leading to a full beat drop that somehow feels perfectly in tune with what We Are Number One is doing alongside it.

You know me - my favorite thing in rips is when they escalate, and though we are number one but with outdated memes over it stays within the same set of jokes throughout, its dedication to covering the *entire* We Are Number One with all of these memes means that it finds new ways to go about it for each segment. I may have been a bit frustrated back then, but in hindsight its easy to see just why this rip got as popular as it did, beyond just playing to the ongoing trend - its a pretty damn high-effort production for being part of a shitposting trend basically defined by being purposefully low-effort and obnoxious. In that sense, I suppose we are number one but with outdated memes over it is like a final hurrah for the age of Montage Parodies - right as we were all letting go of it, as the wild ride of 2016 was making everyone (most importantly YouTube itself) realize that the internet needed to be made a less toxic, less obnoxious place...we got one last jab at all the fun that these videos had to offer. And in turn, it wound up passing the torch to We Are Number One shitposting, beginning a new trend of channels spoofing existing meme music with their own edits and ideas, a trend you'll still see up and about today.

The internet all feels a lot more complicated today in its many corners - Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Discord and its Tenor GIFs, all sort of forming their own ideas of what is and isn't in vogue for shitposting anymore, all at each others' throats. For as obnoxious as Montage Parodies often were in hindsight...there's something so oddly nostalgic about how widespread they were - how EVERYONE deep in the online trenches seemed to just be enamored by these absolutely ridiculous videos. we are number one but with outdated memes over it brought people together over their stupidness for one last time, and for just a little while longer after that, We Are Number One did the same. And with yesterday's MLG day, with looking back on this rip in tow...I can't help but miss it all at least a little bit.

everyone watch this thing I made

[redtechnoanon]

The world is the wrong kind of loud outside the dirt walls of their new home. Zombies groan and skeletons rattle as they trek overhead from the areas that aren’t covered in torches and likely never will be. Impulse doesn’t think anyone will make it long enough to build something beautiful and safe here. Someone sounds off a horn that receives an exceptionally ugly sounding response. At this stage in the game, hearing them is still a fun annoyance and a social comfort instead of a warning siren. The cows huff outside, skittish and unfamiliar in their raggedy, makeshift pen. There are no crickets, nor any bird calls echoing sleepily across the hills.

It sounds like a world full of life, and a world that is preparing for itself to die. Impulse bites the inside of his cheek hard enough that his fangs worry raw lines into the skin.

Bdubs is in the bed next to him, watching the clock tick through the night with a sleepy sort of discontent and fiddling with the chain. He can’t actually pass through the night properly on this type of server, not really, but closed eyes at night and the phantoms don’t bite, as they say.

Impulse is sitting up, since he’s closer to the door and whatever will come through to hurt them. He looks up at the ceiling and fiddles with his pinky. There’s a red string there, looped around the top knuckle, over the tattoo of a green heart. It fades out before it reaches Bdubs, but Impulse knows if he took any damage the thread would flare with neon brightness and coil through the inches between their hands in a vibrant lightning strike of mutual pain. There are ten hearts glowing pink on the back of his hand, all full, all shining.

There are four yellow lives already. Four people teetering on the edge of violence, on the precipice of brutality. If Impulse strains his ears he can hear the wind rustling through the half-grown wheat field that Joel stole from. If Impulse closes his eyes, he can hear the way the seeds clanged against Joel’s empty armor as he crumbled to dust just a block away from Impulse, an enderman claw through the neck. Etho died a tree away at the same time, electric red string of fate pulling so tight around the green heart on his pinky that it shattered, taking him with it.

Really, they should be making some sort of progress. It’s so early in the game that every second matters. But the outside world is one full of terrors and Impulse doesn’t want to go mining. That’s what Tango did, and he and Jimmy both have strings that have moved down to their second knuckle and the yellow heart that gleams gold.

Impulse looks back over at Bdubs.

Even though each of the pink hearts scattered like freckles over the back of his hand, on the back of both of their hands, are perfectly intact, Bdubs certainly doesn’t look it. He’s got scuff marks up the side of his neck, black at the edges with the ghost of wither poisoning, and hair bleached stress-white. Both of his eyes, as big as they are and as sleepily as they squint at the clock in his bruised hands, are puffy, dark, and already half-shut by the damage. One of his front teeth is gone. It makes his smile look lopsided.

Impulse fiddles with the unbreakable tie on his finger and clears his throat. “Does it hurt?” he asks.

Bdubs blinks, hefts himself over to face Impulse, and squints up at him instead of watching the night pass. “Hmm?” His look of confusion turns into something softer and a little light fills both of his black eyes and his voice turns into a sappy parody of itself. “When I fell from heaven?”

“No,” Impulse says, and then backtracks when that light dims from Bdubs’ eyes. “No, I’m sure you landed an MLG water bucket when you fell from heaven, I mean…” he lifts a hand that hovers over the rootlike crawl of old wither poisoning and the closest bruised eye, “...that.”

Bdubs’ own hand comes up self-consciously and covers the damage, but his knuckles are scraped and dark too. “It’s fine,” he says, tone clipped. He wiggles the hand that holds the clock, showing off the unblemished hearts on the back. “See? No damage.”

Impulse sighs. A zombie gurgles and a cow lows a frightened cry that means there’ll be some cooked rotten flesh waiting for them in the cow pit come morning. “You know that’s not what I asked.”

“It’s fine,” Bdubs repeats, voice climbing an octave and a few dozen decibels.

Impulse looks at him, then climbs out of the bed.

“Hey!” Bdubs yelps. Impulse cracks open a chest and ignores the urge to spin around and search for a threat when Bdubs hits the floor in a tangle of blankets and metal and the thread between them flares with crimson. “You come back here! I’m fine, I tell you! Perfectly fine!” They sleep in their armor, so his escape from the clutches of their sheets and his approach as he stomps up to Impulse is painfully loud. “Bdubs has never been-”

Impulse turns around and shoves the retrieved item right in front of Bdubs’ face, cutting him off mid-reassurance. He purses his lips as the silence stretches on and neither of them move. The zombie stuck in with the cows gurgles. Someone plays a horn loud and long in the distance, but no one responds.

“Impulse, I can’t.” Even through all of the bruises and all of the puffiness, Bdubs’ eyes are wide.

The golden apple between them gleams in the torchlight. The space beyond their doors is dark, and their ceiling has no holes. There’s no one here to see them break the rules. There’s no consequences if they do. Impulse’s hand still shakes slightly around the fruit.

“We’re never going to use it otherwise,” Impulse says. “Take it.”

Bdubs open his mouth to object and Impulse, following his name to a T, sticks the apple in before he can say anything. On instinct, he bites down, and the deed is done as the apple dissolves into a flash of sunlight. No take-backsies, as the professional lawyers say.

As soon as the faint glow of the apple dies down, the edges of the old wither poisoning retreat and shrivel away. Simultaneously, the red thread around each of their fingers goes taught and staticky. The yarn frays and begins to snap, one hair thin piece at a time.

Bdubs reaches out and yanks Impulse’s hand to him, holding it in his grip like sheer force of will and the calluses of a builder’s hands can keep the red string from breaking. Impulse returns the favor, trapping the edges of the string under his own fingers, whose tips are stained a permanent scarlet from tracing out redstone against the floor.

“You are,” Bdubs says, voice eerily quiet, “so stupid.”

Impulse laughs, high and nervous. Part of him can’t bring itself to panic, though, not when it’s so satisfied at hearing that slight lisp fade away as a new tooth fills in the gap in Bdubs’ smile, or at seeing both black eyes begin fading. “I don’t know,” he says, half hysterical, “it might be worth it.”

For a second, he considers letting go of Bdubs’ string. Maybe if he does, it’ll fall right off and Bdubs can survive better without someone else leeching off of his health. Maybe if he does it’ll give Bdubs a whole health bar instead of the tangled mess they have now. He won’t die a tree away, thread tugging until it snaps its anchor. Maybe he’ll survive long enough to build something beautiful, something safe, and something better than the dying world around them.

Impulse’s grip starts to loosen.

“Don’t you dare!” Bdubs snaps. Without the puffiness of both black eyes, his glare is even more impressive. The only sign of stress-white in his hair now is two small patches on one side, and the moss that crawls up the healed strands puffs out in a cloud of warning spores.

In the back of his head, Impulse hears Bdubs’ own voice, just a few dozen hours ago. I would die for you. In the back of his head, Impulse remembers Bdubs’ sword swinging down, with a glint of golden clock hanging off of his belt.

With a start, Impulse looks down and finds the clock, tossed carelessly between the two of them. He looks back up and meets Bdubs’ big, angry eyes. “Don’t let go,” Bdubs says. “Don’t you dare.”

So Impulse doesn’t. They stand there, frozen, the clock between them ticking away on the floor past midnight and toward the sunrise.

Two minutes pass. The sunlight glow around Bdubs fades, and with it, the static and the tug on both of their threads. Neither of them let go.

Impulse clears his throat again after a long while. “Maybe we should tell Scott and Cleo about the apples. Help them out with their soulmate situation.”

Bdubs turns his head to look out through the small window in their jungle door, where the darkness still calls. Another horn bellows, and only one responds back. “Tomorrow,” he says, and turns back.

Impulse raises one hand to touch the side of Bdubs’ head on the automatic and then freezes, looking down in panic.

The threads don’t fall apart without his grip to keep them together. It’s back and tied as normal, just as it was when it came fluttering out of the sky and tied itself snugly around his soulmate’s knuckle, but now there’s a line of gold strung through the whole thing.

Bdubs loosens his own grip to show a matching line around Impulse’s string. 

They look back up and meet each other’s eyes. They grin, half crazed and half relieved.

Impulse looks back to where his hand had risen on instinct and huffs out a laugh. “You, uh, you got a little something there.”

Bdubs frowns and pats the side of his head blindly, nearly taking off his whole bandanna. “What is it?” he asks. His eyes go even wider and he pats more frantically. “Is it silverfish? Little baby cave spiders? I’m too pretty for bugs!” he wails.

Impulse snorts and takes Bdubs’ wrist down before he can give himself a concussion. The stress white in his hair has faded out entirely, except for a dash and dot by his temple, forming a perfect i. “It’s not bugs. Promise.”

Bdubs crosses his arms and raises up and down on his feet with a huff and a loud clanking of metal that gets the zombie in the cow pen to gurgling again. “Don’t scare a man like that! Geez louise.” Then he reaches out a hand and smacks Impulse’s forehead. They both jump as the thread blazes between them. “Ow! That’s for making me eat the apple!”

Impulse snorts quietly to himself. There’s no wither scars branching up Bdubs’ neck anymore. “Does it hurt?” he asks again.

“It’s-” Bdubs starts, then pauses. “No. No it doesn’t.” He looks down at his unbruised knuckles like they’re an entirely new concept for him. “It doesn’t.”

A horn calls in the distance. A chorus responds back.

To all my pals who trashtalk gen alpha by saying:

"Back in my day we had actually good memes like MLG, Minecraft parody songs, not the trash that is skibidi toilet."

I'mma be honest with you. If the memes and trends you grew up with hadn't existed back then and were popular among the youth now, you would hate them.

day 6: a character i headcanon as a regressor, topher bus from clone high

🦐🍤🥤🎮♾️

why: its mainly projection, i kin him. and he is lonely and hates the world so he needs an escape. also hes autistic (trust)

i think he would regress to around 7-13

i think he would be very game oriented, he would definitely be into the horror game scene, like fnaf and poppy playtime. also minecraft and roblox. has a 3DS and plays pokemon, mario, plants vs zombies, etc. watches people play scary games on youtube (and gets scared but pretends he doesnt). listens to hatsune miku, other cute electronic music, game osts of course, and minecraft parodies. collects legos like crazy. hides his stuffed animals in the closet. coolmathgames. likes nyan cat and 2010s internet things (mlg). classic mobile games: angry birds, temple run, subway surfers, jetpack joyride. online games like club penguin, ponytown. hes a sore loser and will pout. drinks too much soda and energy drinks. very insecure about his regression

[emilesmithrowes]

one like and i'll drop the mlg parodies are fundamentally different to and hold more artistic value than skibidi toilet essay

log day 1

inspired by a discord convo with a friend to post this. me n her were watching old s*mg4 videos from back in 2014 and girl i miss those days,, not that i was a better person or anything in fact i honestly like who i am and the fact i ended up where i am, but i sincerely wish that my current self could be transported back to 2014 so i could properly interact with the 2014 internet. the most online interaction i could get back then was on roblox bc my mom was super strict with me being online, and honestly rewatching those mario vids made me really dive deep into 2014 randomXD culture until like 4 in the morning,, i think the most appealing part about it is that it feels so freeing, weirdly enough. cringe culture really wasnt mainstream from my knowledge and although being random was ‘the thing,’ from my experience, people genuinely liked it, and it was strangely wholesome that way. ppl were also alot easier to interact with bc no media was like super mainstream (so you didnt have to be necessarily ‘in the know’ to start convo) other than creepypastas, and towards the end of the randomXD era, fnaf. but like, info about that stuff was super widespread and ppl made interacting with fnaf and creepypasta media super fun, and they were always at least mentioned in one topic point during conversation. other stuffs i sincerely miss include nyan cat, mlg montage parodies, and rainbows. lots of them, too. too bad ppl got homophobic and dropped rainbows as soon as it became a symbol of pride, lol. anyways, tbh i dont have much to add onto the whole randomXD topic, but i do wanna say that holy carp do i hate the new morbius sweep stuff that’s going down (yes i know i have a morbius pfp shush my friend made it for me). like new wave gen z culture is honestly super similar to the 2014 randomXD culture in alot of ways, but back then ppl were genuine about it, and now we’re actively drowning in layers of irony. i could tolerate it until this point but the morbius memes have become so obnoxious i can no longer take it. i think what i hate about it the most is the fact that ppl arent genuine about it, like theyre ranting and raving (kinda like i’m doing now) about how good a movie it is and i just want to shout out loud in a public space abt how i’m so genuinely angry that ppl arent genuine for their passion about the movie. like please, be genuine with the things you like, and the things you dont. we were so close to reaching that sort of nirvana during the early years of the lockdown but as soon as things started opening up again ppl went right back to cringe culture like oh my godddddddd i am actively melting into primordial sludge just thinking abt it,,,,,,,,,, anyways i think that’s abt it for today, thanks for reading if u got this far. if i have something to add believe me i’ll add it later,,,, anyways have a good day mwah srry for the wall of text 💙💙

She thought of an MLG montage parody and now she’s inconsolable. (she’s also been awake for two days straight)

[badkarmaviscomm]

SP - MLG Edits Research - ISTD

LO1, LO2

'Montage Parodies (or "MLG Montages") are a series of remix videos parodying the "video game montage" subgenre on YouTube, which is characterized by quick-paced edits and looped footage, as well as heavy use of loud dubstep music and squeaker sounds in the background. While this style of editing initially rose to popularity through highlight reels of impressive gameplay released by e-sport teams in the Major Gaming League, it quickly became known as a cliche as amateur gamers began creating their own, usually with in-game footage of unremarkable quality.' - they were born out of poor quality imagery and less professional gameplay. A way of players to hype themselves up in a way in which better players were. Perhaps something like this could be implemented into gameplay in order to attract gamers who played during this styles' era (2015, so likely aged 24-27 now) or new players who need encouragement. Those who consume digital media now (e.g. Instagram, TikTok) are largely teenagers and often they are consuming absurdist content, perhaps stylising something like this could appeal to this same psychographic profile.

Images that are often featured in montage parodies include those mocking the Doritosgate controversy, the Dancing Snoop Dogg GIF and the default "Sample Text" captions from the Sony Vegas video editing software. Additionally, references to the first-person shooter trick shot 360 no scope, the phrase "420 blaze it" and the Illuminati secret society are often included in the videos.

Todays rip: 29/04/2024

slider has swag

Season 8 No Album Release (Read More)

Ripped by Mitchell

So, it's been more than a week since it happened: the glorious 4/20 event of SiIvaGunner Season 8. Are we all in agreement that it was fucking amazing?

Look, I love the olden internet days and all what Unregistered Hypercam 2 brought as much as anyone else, those anthems of YouTube's earliest beginnings as heard in rips like Unregistered CyberSpace 4-5: Arrow of 2009 are well worth remembering - but the truth is, that I was just a bit too young to get to experience it all in a way that I can tangibly recall. My age was still in the single digits during the Dreamscape's reign - but in contrast, I remember every little bit of how MLG and Montage Parodies rose in popularity, and how they eventually fell out of style. And like I said back in we are number one but with outdated memes over it, it was as if they died out right as SiIvaGunner itself was taking off, like the torch was being passed from one to the other. All these years later, I presume even the SiIvaGunner team themselves were getting nostalgic for the sheer chaos of it all - and so, the age of MLG was celebrated for a day straight on the 20th of April, 2024.

It was a fantastic day across the board, and it was really hard to pick just one rip from it to feature on here. It featured everything from the typical Snoop Dogg rips a la Ganja Man 9: Hash Blunt Hash (Shorty's Stage), to genuinely excellent melodyswaps using songs featured in MLG parodies, to rips not even prominently featuring music, spoofing MLG edits more directly in a genuinely super nostalgic way. In the end, I had to go with slider has swag, just for it being the most whollistic rip choice possible - a cacophany of noise using all corners of MLG, and in said noisiness perfectly encapsulating the ""appeal"" montage parodies had back during their prime. That, and just like with slideless, I feel like there's just something special about Slider rips in particular - they've been around for so long, posted with both such frequency and such enduring quality, that a meme getting Slider'd feels as if its being inaugurated into the SiIvaGunner Hall of Fame. Seeing my beloved MLG get that very same treatment felt like a prophecy come true, a story in the making since the very beginning of SiIvaGunner, realized at last.

But, okay - what exactly IS slider has swag? It was maybe a bit wrong of me to describe it as just noise, because it does have a throughline carrying its melody from start to finish - Smoke Weed Everyday, that is. This isn't a meme medley that changes sources with every half measure of the song a la Memey Hell - rather, other MLG-related sources instead play like accents onto the base melody, little flourishes that make the rip feel more complete. The rip would've been a great listen with JUST the main melody edits, the pitchshifting on Snoop's vocals are fantastic as-is, but each little flourish just adds more than the last. I think a big reason why it works so well is because of how Slider as a track is composed of a lot of call-and-response segments: The melody plays one segment of four or five notes in a steady rhythm followed by a pause, and within said pause the music leaves just enough room for a different melody cue to "respond" to the lead melody. My favorite example of how that's used in slider has swag in particular has to be the airhorns at 0:25 - Snoop's pitch-shifted vocals are met with the infamous airhorn sample which is ALSO pitch-shifted into the aforementioned response melody, and the two sources keep playing off one another for the rest of the segment.

All your other, uh, "MLG Favorites" are here and accounted for as well, I love the hitmarker sounds as the melody starts up at the very beginning, and how the responses before the airhorn segment are just small audio clips like "NICE MEME", "Mom get the camera" and more - it lets the rip add in just about every part of MLG possible incredibly seamlessly. Perhaps most seamlessly is when Slider's melody changes midway through to a slightly less upbeat segment, as it does in the original track, only here being paired with Enya's Only Time - a song you may not recognize by name, but one that was used CONSTANTLY for shitposts about characters dying in MLG compilations, the theme song of all "RIP in Pepperonis" and "liek if u cri evrytim :(" comments all over the internet. And hey, Semi-Charmed All Star - All Star itself even makes it into the rip, taking over Snoop's lead melody duty toward the end of the rip before it loops, along with everyone's favorite Darude Sandstorm. The list goes on - you're surely getting how much fun of a listen this rip is by this point, right?

And like, I know MLG stuff isn't for everyone - there's a reason it all died out, and I'm sure many viewed this event as to be taken purely ironically. But shit, I dunno, sometimes loud DOES equal funny - and though my perspective may be tinted by nostalgia, Montage Parodies are undeniably a part of internet history, a brief but nonetheless HUGE part of online culture, and one that we need to acknowledge happened no matter its obnoxiousness. They weren't all funny, sure - but rips like slider has swag don't feel like they're made to remind us of how terrible things were, but rather how much fun they all COULD be when done right. Not that SiIvaGunner is spearheading an MLG revival per se - but the entire event gave me a ton of nostalgia for something I only recently realized that I was missing. Nice meme indeed, Mitchell - and I suppose that with THIS. IS. SOLEANNA., we've now come full circle on your rips, in paying tribute to all corners of the internet's shitposting history.

that era in middle school when I used to stay up until 4am watching mlg parodies of animes on youtube and then go to school the next morning completely sleep deprived and just listening to the death note ost over and over again instead of paying attention in class and I sat in the corner during gym class with other losers. I want to go back

possible hot take

as somebody who uses neither app directly and gets content from both via Instagram, douyin is better than tiktok, for one BIG reason: the stupid fucking sound effects

come on, would you rather hear offbrand siri gush about "unaliving" and "seggs", or have completely unnecessary "huuuuhhhh??", "wHAT!?", and "ooi" inserted at random intervals?

the other day i saw a video for some kind of food tutorial that was like

"bite with your Sharp Teeth >:D (wHAT!?)"

and it was absolutely glorious

i saw someone compare these sound effects to the MLG Montage Parody memes of yore and that's exactly it, that's exactly the niche that this fills for me — not quite YTP-tier but getting there

hell, my internal monologue has adopted the "huuuuhhhh??" as a default reaction to things that perplex

anyways yeah douyin > tiktok thank you for coming to my tedtok

MLG Akira gets a sick #HE4DSHOT

I made this MLG parody as a joke but it ended up taking like a month off and on. I now understand why people don't make these anymore.
