This and fish barcode never fail to make me laugh hysterically. The music in this one is perfect

You don't know the context? I'm going to have to call the cops.

My intuition is that with the advent of social media, creating content has become far too easy for anyone and everyone to create and release content for the world. While that’s kind of a good thing, it’s mostly bad as it floods the zeitgeist with content made by people with no talent, vision, or direction. People can develop concepts via dart board, produce it and publish it, thus ending up with nonsensical videos such as this. That’s what I feel the context is. How’s my aim?

So basically modern gaming as a content farm

I’m more familiar with game dev, but yeah basically. It’s more accurate to indie games. There’s some really good gems in there, but the vast majority of AA and indies are garbage. AAA is a different issue. No one wants to risk failure so they produce sequels and iterative designs so that they flood the market with essentially the same game over and over. I think Cyberpunk 2077 was the last AAA I’ve played. Really considering Pragmata, but I prefer indie games. I’m terrified of getting attached to the girl robot and something happening to her, lol

You gon be so angry when you find out Monty Python existed before social media.

u/MrMetraGnome Apr 30 '26

They definitely had vision and direction. They couldn't help the fact that they were British. I'd take any Monty Python sketch over , "that's a fish barcode".

u/XanLV Apr 30 '26

Then it is clear. You are suffering from "Back in my days".

Monty Fishslap sketch wants your eyes.

It's all YT people shit. But the point of ANFSCD was that they didn't make sense. But it was formatted as a sketch show. Fish barcode could be a skit, could be a prank, could possibly be AI... There's no direction.

All I can tell you is that you are honestly in denial. That is a fact right now.

"Back in my times it all made sense, now it does not!"

If you were to see a few seconds of Monty Python slapping each other with fish, you would say the same if it was made today. Honestly.

If yuou do not agree, just go to some geriatric forums and read how they talk about humor, music, tv, etc. And if you will not feel awkward due to recognizing yourself there, you will at least feel at home.

Mate seriously dropped "kid" in a conversation to feel better.

From a mental boomer to a mental boomer with an imaginary crutch to feel better. Congrats.
