There it is!
I have a theory that, as the "unfunny number" sandwiched between two other funny numbers, 68 will eventually become funny simply by association. Or through memes like this which point this out.
Perhaps in a decade, 65 will also be funny
Inflation effects us all.
Ah yes, 68. The taint of funny numbers.
We actually had a joke with number 68 a million years ago when I was in uni! It goes like this:
"Hey babe, do you want to do a 68? Huh, what is that? You blow me and I owe you 1"
Not saying it was funny, but it was a joke.
68 is the Tina Belcher of the Funny Number family.
....and we all fell down and were at sixes and sevens (meaning to be confused, dating back to Chaucer in 1374).
I learned about it from Austin Powers in Goldmember in the early aughts, but yeah I'm glad someone else pointing out there's like, an odd historical rhyme with the particular numbers coming back.
68 became the unfunny number despite not doing anything, this is sad
But Gen Alpha can't do math, so they won't understand lol
They have an llm in their pocket to explain the spicy stuff, silly.
They wonβt be able to make the symbol
Β± is easy on a mobile keyboard.
Just send it the photo duh
meanwhile in my environment 68 became funny by a joke when we were teenagers (at first I thought 67 was another spin on this):
"you give me a bl*wjob and I owe you one"
Think I remember selling this in T-shirt form when I worked at the cultural touchstone that is Spencer's Gifts.
21?
67 + 2 ****
