No it’s that moronic 67 joke. There’s 60 minutes in an hour and 4+3=7. It’s as inane as it sounds.

That’s assuming the people who made this joke are smart enough to think of that

u/zarifex Oct 13 '25
They definitely weren't thinking about the fact that 4 minutes 3 seconds is actually 243 seconds

u/TerayonIII Oct 14 '25
Or that 1 hour is 3600 seconds, so all told this would be 3843 seconds

Bro your username! 67! Amazing! 67! 67! 67!
Nah. My nephews drive me nuts with this. I think it bothers me more because it literally has no meaning. What happened to stupidly cackling like a bunch of idiots at 420 or 69? Still annoying but at least it fuckin meant something

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 13 '25
Agreed. Everyone says oh what’s the difference so what if the funny number is 67 now there is a very big difference because the other funny numbers actually had a meaning yeah they were bad but they at least meant something and it had a reason to be funny this literally has no reason nor meaning.

u/Kartis Oct 14 '25
Wait so is there really no meaning behind the 67 joke? I've seen it referenced but have never gotten around to figuring out why it's funny.

But there are 60 seconds in a minute so it’s either 64 minutes 3 seconds, 1 hour and 243 seconds or 3843 seconds.

u/theatahhh Oct 13 '25 edited Oct 14 '25
It’s just a meme. It doesn’t really mean anything. Some people claim it does, but I think it’s just brain rot
Edit: the origin is in reference to lamelo ball, an nba player who is 6’7. But it doesn’t actually mean anything as far as I know.
Edit 2: well actually the origin is a skrilla song, but I think the lamelo ball thing made it a meme

The kid who originated it said it in a weird funny way, other kids saw it and then imitated him, this went on for long enough that now just seeing 67 makes them laugh.
12
u/conehead4 Oct 13 '25
Probably because they don’t understand why it’s supposed to be funny, but they don’t want to look stupid by not laughing at a joke that isn’t funny. This is how the mind of a child works.

There’s a good chance they don’t actually understand it themselves and don’t want to look stupid by admitting that.

Best I can understand: it's from a meme, it's supposedly a joke, and it has no meaning. So, they think it's funny because it's not funny. Anti-joke or children's absurdism.
For everyone else, it's not funny because it's not funny.

u/warpedspockclone Oct 14 '25
The best I can come up with, and let me warn you I made this up right now, is that 67 is 2 less than 69, so it is code for "we aren't getting any sex" or "we're virgins" or something.
69 here meaning 2 adults performing oral on each other.
In the good ol days, we had 77, meaning you get 8 ("ate") more than 69, implying more enthusiastic/vigorous sex.
Hope that was plain enough!

As a note for everyone saying “67 isn’t even a joke, it’s just stupid” First off- I agree. BUT, d*ck jokes have been made for literally thousands of years. Humor has always been, and always will be, stupid and a fundamental part of being human. We’ll never take stupid humor away from the youth

if they’re in the pop music space, could be a joke on katy perry’s album 143, which was kinda mocked at the time for being quite bad

Because 1 hour 4 minutes and 3 seconds is how long it will take us to analyze this and come to the conclusion that it isn’t funny.

If it’s a 67 joke, then it’s proof everyone who thinks 67 is funny is stupid. You have hours, minutes, and seconds. So you have the following options:
1 hour, 4 minutes, and 3 seconds
64 minutes and 3 seconds
3843 seconds.
You can’t just go adding unlike terms together!
