Do what now?
I was watching vsauce and having weird existential thoughts as a teen… lol
I mean. Humans made ATHF, so it has SOME value. A lot of modern brain rot it totally generated.
I think the key differences are quality and time spent.
You stay up, watch a 15 minute (10 actually, ala US tv commercials) episode of ATHF and thats it. Maybe you watch Sealab:2021 afterwards too. At worst, youre extremely smoothbrained and watch Squidbillies too.
Okay, so what is the total brain rot time? Like 30 minutes a night? 1 hour tops? Only on weeknights really? You couldn’t watch it all day. You could change the channel to something else, but it wasn’t “that”, all day.
Whatever you change it to might not be “great” but it was still moderated FCC compliant content. Like, your channel scrolling isnt intermingled with a adult man telling children to be racist and abuse women. Not seamlessly anyways.
Compare that the never ending, ever scrolling, available whenever brainrot that is TikTok/YoutubeShorts/etcetcetc. Its not even close. Kids are watching Minecraft videos and then listening to Asmongold atop of SubwaySurfers. Engaging with content and comments all day, everyday on demand.
They are not forced to “change the channel” or go do something else. And what’s on “the channel” is (essentially) unmoderated content to children who dont know if something is real or the wider context.
What if I also watched super jail and metalocalypse? Does that make me Teflon brain
Atomic smooth brain
Atomic mirror brain
At the top: state-owned propaganda network that intentionally pushes short, often harmful content to the west, while carefully curating educational videos for their home market. Full of zero budget zero quality dross.
Bottom: scripted show that’s written by a team of comedians with several successful career voice actors, animators and musicians. Every second of every episode is planned and catefully executed.
These are not remotely the same…
People used to complain that Teletubbies had nothing to offer a child’s development. Now in 2025 my nephew watches the same half hour cgi marble race on YouTube two or three times a day, every day
he’s 27 years old
Well, making a whole ass real marble raceway is a lot of work and definitely not something that would survive a kid walking in.
Yeah, my name is—
Shake Zula,
the mic rulah
The old schoolah,
you wanna trip?
I’ll bring it to ya!School-D really knocked it outta the park with this one.
Drivin’ in my car, livin’ like a star, Ice on my fingers and my toes and I’m a taurus
Please do not undercut me in front of the child. I am thirty or forty years old, and I do not need this.
So we jigglin’, er…?
Just say Smith, it don’t matter. Nunna dis matters.
Read that in his voice lol
I don’t even know what I’m looking at. That an actual tv show?
It’s a very funny show called Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Completely unrelated: humor is subjective.
“Funny” is subjective. Personally I don’t understand how the show is considered comedy. To me the entire thing is just a bunch of nonsensical lines of dialog stitched together. Where’s the humor? Is the complete lack of any sort of meaning or even a basic plot supposed to be the joke?
There are some hit and miss episodes but there are some very subtle and well planned out jokes or references. I’m not trying to convince you you’re wrong but adolescent me loved this show.
First decade or so of adult swim is still peerless IMO
Pffffft, that’s weak stuff. Nothing goes over Bernd das Brot.
Life is hell
How can you sleep when Assisted Living Dracula is on?
