Sine_Fine_BelliGoodbye MatPat, thanks for everything
Was matpat big with zoomers? I thought he was more a millennial audience š¤
gmtomNah his biggest audience was FNAF kids.
I never played FNAF, but those were the only Game Theorist videos I really liked.
He had a couple I enjoyed and actually bought the premise, but Iāll be damned if I could tell you what they were
dual_sport_dork š§š”ļøSounds about right.
I believe FNAF getting mega-popular was the precise moment when the scales tipped for me and I officially became old. I looked at it, and I decided that itās just dumb and I canāt comprehend why the kids these days are so into it. I mean, I know the real draw is watching streamers or whoever freak out at all the jump scares and act ridiculous. But thatās just a pastime that doesnāt appeal to me in any form whatsoever. Just, get that kind of thing off my lawn.
I did watch a ton of Game Theories videos, though.
I wanna point out, recognizing something isnāt for you doesnāt make you old. Your refusal to recognize it as something someone else enjoys is where that boomer mentality comes in. Thatās just a theory, a BOOMER theory
Truly an internet staple
Huh, I thought FNAF was all younger millennials
originalucifercries to self in genX
samus12345We just said āwhateverā instead of crying.
i can agree on 'the meh generation'
The disaffected generation.
THCDentonOmg Iām a boomer. Who are these people?
The first one is MASH
I know! Thats the only one I know and Iām barely 40 years old.
Grammaton ClericGEN-X THINKS YOUāRE ALL CRYBABIES
Kurt Cobain knew how to quit his job like a real man
neuracnuCome on, Artax!
WHY DID YOU REMIND ME š¢
Iām to young for the first one but too old for the second one. Iām also used to society ignoring my generation so thatās fine.
In a younger millennial and was still too old for the second oneā¦
So...what, when Toonami ended for the first time?
ProfessorProteusShit, now youāve done it. Sorry, just got something in my eye š
Yeah Iām like older gen z and was huge into blues clues. Tons of people my age hate being identified with gen z tho because we grew up with DS lites not iPads lol.
No shame in being gen z. The political activism of that gen is truly impressive. Theyāre doing the best they can with what theyāve been given, and I think theyāre doing great. Iām really proud of them as a generation :)
I canāt wait to see Gen Alpha come into their own, too.
This. Our generation grew up on Reading Rainbow and the tail end of Mr. Rogers, not Blueās Clues. Blueās Clues is Gen Z fodder.
Um, no? I was born in late 94 and was the prime audience for blueās clues. I had so much blueās clues merch as a tot. It was that and teletubbies. I would say the youngest millenials were probably a bit too young to have caught much of Mr Rogers (I didnāt) but that may be a case by case thing.
That said, I do feel a lil disconnected from the rest of the millenial generation in what I remember from the 90sāas itās basically nothingāand I often have to teach my '91 spouse and his similarly-aged friends about tech and current slang, but Iām still slightly to old to roll with gen z lol. Being a cusp gen baby is weird.
Millennials are 1981 to 1996; youāre a very late millennial so it makes sense your experiences are more similar to Gen Z. I doubt many people only a couple years older than you watched Blueās Clues.
ThenThreeMoreAs a non American millennial I have no fucking clue what the second one is.
Transient PunkBlues Clues
no bananaSee I still donāt know what that is but thanks for saying it anyway!
It was a kids TV show. Iām a millennial, and I saw it in the mornings occasionally, but never had any connection to it, so Iām with yāall
driving_croonerWe had El Chavo del 8 growing up.
bdonvrAs someone who didnāt grow up on it but heard about it while learning Spanish
What a strange show lmao
yamaniiAbsolute masterpiece.
Ook the LibrarianIt was stupid to use a kids show as an example. That episode aired in 2002. Only a small slice of people born 1980 to 2000 would care.
The other examples had an audience with a much wider age range.
What? Werenāt older millenials in their 20ās when Blueās Clueās ended?
And they were devastated by it.
And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!
The BartoIām not gonna lie, that choked me up really good, I really needed that at the time.
Iām a millennial but too old to have ever watched Blueās Clues, so I couldnāt give two shits when Steve left.
Also, itās hilarious that this meme completely ignores Gen X.
Oh well, whatever, nevermind.
Not like this.
Iām an older millenial that identifies closer to Gen X. I think mine would be ā¦ Will Smith crying to Uncle Phil about his dad on Fresh Prince? That was pretty iconic. Wasnāt a good bye or finale one though.
Seinfeld finale was kinda bleh. I skipped Roseanne, Friends and Frazierās finales to be honest and the fact no one references them. Simpsons wonāt die. Iād say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality.
Steve wasnāt the finale of Blueās Clues, so I donāt think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I canāt think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.
smortMaybe the Cheers finale, in 1993
Two main things I remember about that finale. Cliff ending the conversation on shoes because their topic was about shoewear. Lastly, Sam saying to the incoming patron: āweāre closedā.
I loved Cheers.
I fell off from Friends and Frasier years before they ended, partially because I didnāt have time to watch tv at that point, but for Friends it was also because I just didnāt care anymore. Not sure whether I can really say I was representative of the Xennial demographic though. The finale of Roseanne, on the other hand, was the groaner of a punchline to the hack comedianās joke that the final season was, so it certainly wasnāt iconic either.
That scene from Fresh Prince that you picked is a great one. I made another comment suggesting Atreyu trying to save Artax, and I suppose I should add the super dark finale of Dinosaurs. Otherwise I canāt think of much else; so many of the iconic characters I grew up watching wore out their welcomes because tv execs in the ā90s somehow figured out how to suffocate the lightning they caught in a bottle.
XtallllI was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.
Same. Are you from 82, 83, or 84?
CorkyskogGen what? Donāt invoke the wrath.
How do you know that his name is Steve if you never watched it?
Heās been a meme for over 20 years, and Iām a member of society.
Korne127Only knew Film Theorists but didnāt really like themā¦ but Iām sorry for everyone who misses them, I can imagine that itās painful when someone you like stops producing such content.

Youāre missing a generation, hereās a couple clips you can do a screenshot for the next time this meme gets posted.
Big Bird at Jim Henson's Memorial
Absolutely on point.
Aviandelight OMG how could you do this to me.
X-Gen: cries because no one remembers them.
EmanuelTo think this is how I found out about MatPat
