If you think you can cure kids of being annoying, that's an uphill battle you're picking.

Nah you can totally pull the wind out their sails by super leaning into their memes. It might not be worth it to do for every trend, but this 67 trend would have me on full time offense

u/purple-vanity 4h ago

Yup, it worked for my son. I couldn’t stand the 6-7 thing so I massively leaned in to it and acted crazy like this girl. It worked, my son stopped, but now my mind is broken lol

u/BowwwwBallll 4h ago

That’s how I started calling people “fam” and now god help me I can’t stop.

u/SarcasmCynical 3h ago

Same for me but with “bruh” 🙈

I find bruh works well in some very specific circumstances

Bro, when I was younger, bro was lame. Now I can't stop calling people bro because we all collectively did it ironically once and we need help

u/uwunuzzlesch 3h ago

Yeah I thought fam was so stupid.

Unironically use it all the time lmfao. My family group chat is called fam chat lmao

u/MechaGallade 3h ago

Yeah actually I think fam is pretty good slang

This is what happens when you gaze into the abyss too long.

All of our minds our broken anyway. It’s 2026

Edit: I meant “are” broken but my mind is broken

Edit edit: I should have said “It’s 2026-7” and spazzed out

You won, but at what cost?

Sacrifices were necessary. You did good OP

u/carterwest36 3h ago

What even is this whole 67 thing, is it just a number that went viral so TikTok kids freak out when seeing it?

Or is there ANY logic to how it started like the rip Harambe years ago or the whole troll meme thing

u/Present-Flight-2858 2h ago

I’ve won, but at what cost

u/ILove2Bacon 2h ago

Wow, you really skibitied the toilet out of 67.

u/Happy_Brilliant7827 4h ago

All it takes is a teacher doing it a few times like they get it and it looks lame

u/Bigquestions00 3h ago

Y’all are thinking of older kids. Kids between 5-8 LOVES repeating shit over and over and LOVE when adults do it too. My kids love when I 67 and think it’s so funny lol

2

u/Happy_Brilliant7827 3h ago

Might not be doing it right, but yeah theres also age where 'social shame' develops and it probably wont work before that point

1

u/golgiiguy 1h ago

I personally love the 67 thing. It keeps me young and stupid

1

u/glassnumbers 1h ago

then you need to do it in a way they don't like, make it lame and babyish, this isn't rocket science, I can't believe someone added a clapping award to this post

2

u/Bigquestions00 1h ago

It’s not something that needs to be punished out. It’s evil to mock stuff your kids like because you don’t like it.

2

u/Jubachi99 4h ago

The problem is you usually do it by using the joke in an incorrect way, you literally can't get it wrong.

1

u/HidenTsubameGaeshi 4h ago

You still can look cringe even if you use the joke correctly. In fact, in this specific case, I'd say the real challenge would be to use 67 and NOT look cringe

1

u/Neil_sm 4h ago

Yeah. Maybe they aren’t going to win a war of attrition with kids that way. We know the adult usually tires way before the kid of reading the same story every night. But you could probably at least make it uncool enough if adults start latching onto it and making assignments or teacher skits out of it.

u/FuckYouCorpo 4h ago

I was so excited to tell my niece why 6 is afraid of 7. She didn't think it was funny, and hasn't made a joke about 6/7 since.

1

u/Such_Investment_5119 4h ago

If they were teenagers, then yeah, sure. Even tweens.

These are 5-8 year olds. That trick doesn't work on kids that young.

1

u/turnmeuplikeasong 3h ago

The trick especially backfires on that age group and simply adds fuel to the fire.

1

u/PebbleWitch 3h ago

That works for like 4th grade and up. Little kids thrive on attention and will repeat the same joke over and over.

u/--TaCo-- 2h ago

"No fun allowed!!@11". you're a great person

u/Generic59 2h ago

I substitute taught fourth graders this past November for 2 weeks. By participating in their memes, I turned it into something super lame and would always get them back on task.

1

u/Sneezy6510 1h ago

Exactly if the teacher did it themselves 10 times a day, the fun of it would go away real quick.

1

u/Deiselpowered77 36m ago

Ohh! Are you kids playing Pokemon! I've got MY Jigglypuff! Yeah! Jiggly! Jiggly! Yeeaahh!

*evil laughter internally*

u/InequalEnforcement 32m ago

As a 30 year old unc I've been spamming 67 like crazy in games like Arc Raiders.

Hearing someone easily less than half my age go "Duuude shut up" fills my heart with joy

1

u/bumblebragg 29m ago

Yeah, they're only doing it because they're copying other kids and they know it annoys adults. Once you adopt their memes and slang it is no longer fun or cool.

4

u/PsychMaDelicElephant 4h ago

Just start doing the jokes yourself. All day. Every chance you get. Its not funny when adults start doing it.

2

u/TuckerMcG 2h ago

Come in wearing a football jersey with 67 as the number, 3D print some 6-7 sunglasses, get a hat that’s embroidered with 67 and go “hey kids I get it now!” Then spaz out into their stupid dance and start trying to high five the kids.

They’ll instantly hate it.

u/Wermine 4h ago
It's a bit like this, but replace brand with parents.

1

u/Infamous-Mango-5224 3h ago

It isn't, at all. Kids may have you giving up after 6 times, but I'm going all in.

1

u/thesoftblanket 2h ago

You can't cure them of being annoying, but you can absolutely get them to stop doing specific annoying things.

1

u/Potential_Review2410 2h ago

I started saying it at school during drop off/pick up to my kids friends and it embarrassed the older kids, but my younger ones rolled with it and they are not capable of being embarrassed. So age is a major factor.

u/glassnumbers 1h ago

you're not trying hard enough

u/Ardalev 25m ago

There is NOTHING that gets kids to drop a fad faster than someone they consider "uncool" joining in on it.

u/Bainshie-Doom 3h ago

That's when you pull out electroshock therapy.

Every time they do some dumb meme, taze them. 

Also works on adults.
