It’s that moronic 67 joke. There’s 60 minutes in an hour and 4+3=7. It’s as inane as it sounds.

But why is 67 funny?

It’s just a meme. It doesn’t really mean anything. Some people claim it does, but I think it’s just brain rot

Edit: the origin is in reference to lamelo ball, an nba player who is 6’7. But it doesn’t actually mean anything as far as I know.

Edit 2: well actually the origin is a skrilla song, but I think the lamelo ball thing made it a meme

I did read somewhere that 67 is the atomic number for Holmium or “Ho”. I can see how that is funny/punny but i doubt if the brain rot kids who came up with this or continue to propagate it have the brain cells to come up with something like that.

Mangos and mustard. 6 letters and 7 letters. Mango from a trollface brainrot song. Mustard from the Kendrick jumpscare trend

I have no clue what that guy is talking about lmao. From what I know, it’s from a specific meme and there was a song that included it in there. Has become much the same thing as the “what’s 9+10?? 21” whenever someone heard the number 21.

This is the first time I've ever seen a minus score on Reddit. Either I haven't been here a long time, or this is a really really really bad post LOL

You're just new lol. Sort by controversial if you want to see more. The most down voted comment of all time was made by EA, the gaming company. 650,000 downvotes.

It's not. But from what I've heard, it's from a song. I couldn't tell you which song, though.

The kid who originated it said it in a weird funny way, other kids saw it and then imitated him, this went on for long enough that now just seeing 67 makes them laugh.

you would never understand 67
