for example, if one of the characters wants to say “bye mom”, they might instead say “PEACE OUT BROTHER! MM MM OH YEAH!” and starts dancing/doing a “cool” gesture.

some of them also use “tiktok speak”/brainrot but i don’t get why, since wouldn’t this be “cooler” with children? i don’t know any actual adults who like things like that nor do they speak like that.

are they perhaps making fun of the younger generation? because it seems genuine, not making fun.

    It could be an instance of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

    Wanting to fit in but not knowing how to do it right.

    What exactly are you trying to say? I can barely understand this post. Do you have examples?

      off the top of my head, only one sort of like it.

      "new american dad doesn’t do this much, but i know the beginning of the new episode had roger being emo or something and saying “emo af!” not exactly brainrot, but still

      [my parents hated that i watched it at age 14, but american dad may be for teenagers. I’m sure there are other named examples where people did the stuff i named in the post.]" and the user who says they say “that’s fire” in new episodes

      odd. i mean, i also see this a lot on instagram stuff to promote their shows, i guess. new american dad doesn’t do this much, but i know the beginning of the new episode had roger being emo or something and saying “emo af!” not exactly brainrot, but still

          I’m pretty sure Family Guy and American dad are just AI written at this point. Those shows haven’t been funny in like 10 years at least

            More accurately, it’s targeted for “not children”

            Adults happen to be “not children”, but teenagers REALLY WANT to be “not children”

            They also say “fire” like every new episode.

    In the 90s we had “See you on the flippity flip” - it’s almost certainly genuine and talking to folks in the language they more commonly use because that’s how pop culture pops.
