It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Trump is using Hitler's language

So does Biden sometimes and he's actively facilitating a genocide so what's their point

Both of them struggle putting together sentences in English, and now they're supposedly fluent in German?

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All the Germanic languages are just the same language with different accents

What the fuck. This is one of the worst things I have ever seen.

Also aren't the skibidi toilets the bad guys WHY IS THIS SO ON THE NOSE

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

ALSO THIS WOULD BE BIDEN TOILET NOT SKIBIDI BIDEN OH MY GOD THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE WORSE IT GETS agony-mescaline

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

At this point, I'm wondering if the poor editor and voice actor just realized they dug a ditch when it comes to Biden... (how does this pass; usually the MAGA people would put this stuff up)

Just, wtf....

[–] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

There's a 0% chance anyone involved with the creation of this skit knows anything about Skibidi Toilet besides have their kid show them the first one

I am brave and I watched it. Ummm. I have seen these skibdi memes. So not only this is unfunny. Its also not remotely trying to do the meme. There's no music.

I guess its supposed to be : oh its a head in a toilet. And also trump. Now laugh. Well its a reference to that one thing. The kids love it. Isn't it funny we are referencing it. Also trump. Whoa how funny is that.

Fuck this. Colbert should be legally denied from doing comedy.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like i might never think anything is funny again because this video ruined the concept for me

Not ever going to watch this, not even at gunpoint

It's kinda worth it just to see how incredibly bad it manages to be. It's almost a work of art

Welp, the skibidi toilet meme is officially over. It lasted surprisingly a long time.

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow the only thing I've seen that comes remotely close to this is Ajit Pai with the fidget spinners seven years ago.

Pro tip for the libs: do not try to use the latest, hippest memes to paper over a gap in youth support that exists for material reasons.

If you tell yourself Colbert is just doing the liberal counterpart to his Report character it's hilarious. The fact it's actually sincere is incredibly depressing.

These are the people who were supposed to be relying on to stop fascism.

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna brush past everything else cringe in this to focus on one thing:

Not bothering to warp Biden's face in unsettling ways.

Commit to the bit you cowards! Like, if you're gonna do this whole soullessly gesturing at the internet trends of literal children, at least commit to the bit.

I hate how Colbert introduces this nightmare. And then the video of course references trump.

"trump is using hitler's language"

Like it's a warning? It's not meant to be funny - just another thing for libs to remember shitty talking points that barely held to in 2020.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

who the fuck sits on the writer team for this idiot? are they all as old and stupid as he is? what the fuck?

can they not hire someone who's under 30 and heavily internetpilled? why?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because their target audience is 30 to 45 year old libs.

They intentionally wrote incredibly tame toothless jokes.

It's the kids who would stand in a circle and whisper cuss words while giggling but for adults.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Steven Colbert might be the most convincing argument against being yourself. All his output past the Colbert Report has been painful.

This makes "Pokemon Go to the polls" look like amateur hour.

Who is this for? Skibidi toilet is just gmod YouTube poops for gen alpha, none of which are old enough to vote. Everyone else on the planet looks at skibidi toilet and goes "haha yeah those kids so weird haha"

I'm just...baffled. Did anyone who made this actually think it was funny? Did people laugh in the writer's room? I can't wrap my head around it. Like, I can at least understand edgelord humor. I, too, was once an edgy 13 year old who scrolled through /b/ and ED, so I get the appeal of "subversive" humor (which I now understand is literally the opposite of subversive, since it just reinforces existing power structures). But even if I try to put myself in the shoes of a #Resistance #MullerTime terminal TDS lib I just can't see what could possibly be funny about this.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Biden is gonna come out on stage with the broccoli haircut and say "no cap on god" or whatever kids say these days. The bewildered silence will cause him to collapse into a corn singularity.

hillgasm takes the stage.
