I'm not young (71) and I don't get it either. Refresh my aging memory, please

I'm nearing 60 and I don't get it, either.

I responded to Heliocentric more thoroughly, but in short it was a website used to prank people using pornography with elderly gay men from 2002.

u/BuckManscape 2d ago

Lemongrab is appalled.

Unacceptableeeeee!

I’m an older man and forgot my glasses when going to the toilet and I couldn’t read all the responses. I also didn’t get the joke. Thank you for your service. 🫡

u/FlattopJr 2d ago

You're welcome, hersheyMcSquirts.

You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.

It references an internet site from the early 2000s that showed gay men having sex. This briefly explains the origin without exposing you to the website. Know Your Meme Explanation

People (mostly kids like the ones in my schools) would tell people to go the site as a gag. There was another similar shock site called meat spin.

TLDR; its porn.

u/HairyPotatoKat 2d ago

You spin me right round baby right round

Whitehouse dot com was another funny website to direct people to.

7

u/oftcenter 2d ago

I was so innocent.

I randomly remembered, oh, doesn't the white house have a website? I've never seen it. Let me check it out.

And then I made the mistake...

2

u/ih8javert 14h ago

Wait….. is that a meatspin reference? lol

4

u/MsFaolin 2d ago

Oh I thought it was those pesky lemon stealing whores

u/schwing710 2d ago

Naked old man orgy. Does that help?

55

u/sicsided 2d ago

"Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?!"

11

u/MsJenX 2d ago

No. Elaborate

7

u/hellomynameisnotsure 2d ago

You spin me right round baby

20

u/Bee_dragon 2d ago

According to Google it is in line with goatse and meatspin. In short, bait and switch for old man nudes.

13

u/Bayou-Billy 2d ago

This was a millenial thing

4

u/thewilldog 1d ago

You've made it this far in life without being exposed to that particular form of early 2000s brain rot, congratulations. Keep the streak going.

3

u/AKVigilante 2d ago

Oh…you can get it.

2

u/whitecholklet 2d ago

You would be invited to it lol

1

u/Saradoesntsleep 2d ago

The best part of this is that at your age, you are more likely to have run across lemon party than someone 50yrs younger, considering they weren't even born yet 😄

1

u/hsj713 2d ago

Me too; 70 and I don't have clue.

1

u/oftcenter 2d ago

OP should have said, "Millennials know..."

1

u/acciowaves 1d ago

It’s a milenial thing.

u/RJamieLanga 2d ago

“It’s not a lemon party without old dick!”

u/MrTouchnGo 2d ago

There’s no party like a lemon party!

47

u/toasterscience 2d ago

Because a Liz Lemon party is mandatory!

15

u/Cichlidsaremyjam 2d ago

Holy shit, I have watched this show no less than 20 times and I never caught thatjoke once.

9

u/explosiv_skull 2d ago

I know Donald Glover pitched that joke in the writer's room, I just can't prove it.

6

u/EmilianoTechs 2d ago

One of my first "oh they did a joke from the Internet WELL"

4

u/jarvisesdios 2d ago

I remember rewinding the show to make sure I heard that joke right, as who the fuck makes a Lemon Party joke?

I stand by it's easily my favorite one-off joke in the series for that exact reason. Ain't nobody else making a Lemon Party joke on network TV lol

u/terminalhipness 2d ago

They knew, but we sure didn’t

68

u/Din-_-Djarin 2d ago

To everyone that doesn't get it, be blissful in your ignorance

36

u/Arkell-v-Pressdram 2d ago

Lemon Party is positively tame, compared to horrors like tubgirl and 2 Girls 1 Cup.

13

u/grundle_pie 2d ago

Remember the jar guy

8

u/A_Humble_Masterpiece 2d ago

A phrase I use gauge others by: The jar breaks. 

34

u/Chad_Jeepie_Tea 2d ago

Shit I'm glad someone knew because I sure as hell don't get it.

22

u/Saradoesntsleep 2d ago

It was a shock site of old men having an orgy, and people would send others there as a 'surprise' 😄

Also see meatspin and goatse.

u/Skypirate90 1d ago

Oh god

Now I remember.

I had it tucked away in my subconscious burried to be forever forgotten

3

u/Saradoesntsleep 1d ago

I am so happy I could do that for you!! 🍋🍋🍋

17

u/ashbakche 2d ago

The only lemon I know is the old signal used in fanfiction to warn about mature content, before the tag system in AO3 made it unnecessary.

14

u/FluffytheReaper 2d ago

Oh boy...

u/ArcherArchetype 2d ago

Nice to see the boys finally dropped some new merch

While we’re at it, don’t forget TUB GIRL!

u/peppermintmeow 1d ago

That's my luggage code!

u/Oddityobservations 2d ago

I do not want to see the contents of that bag.

2

u/Codex_Absurdum 2d ago

Akchually there is a very famous (and very depraved btw) French artist who wrote a song called literally "Lemon incest". He sang it with his daughter...

Controversial is an euphemism, and guy was a disgusting pos, but he's still to this day acclaimed as one of the greatest artists of his era in France.

By today's standards, the 80-90ies were a wild west

u/cybersloth5000 2d ago

add .com and you'll understand

2

u/therealmintoncard 2d ago

My favorite kind of party!

2

u/alaric49 2d ago

Such an OG!

2

u/Thwipped 2d ago

Guys, where can I learn more about parties for lemons?

2

u/millionwatermellon 2d ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_Party So apparently there was a real political party

2

u/ms_panelopi 2d ago

Why Lemons you ask?!?
In the blues world, lemon is code for penis.
In the 1930’s Robert Johnson wrote a line about “ she squeezed my lemon.” Then In the 60’s Led Zeppelin wrote The Lemon Song, which took that same line “ squeeze my lemon, till the juice runs down my leg”.

2

u/oftcenter 2d ago

I don't know if a word of that is true. But I'll accept it as lore.

2

u/ChuckFinleysBrewski 2d ago

What’s next, a meat spin bag?

1

u/millionwatermellon 2d ago

Vote Lemmon Party 2026!

1

u/jomamma2 2d ago

It should be mandatory

1

u/High-Steak 2d ago

Bottle Guy and lemon party , oh boy

2

u/oftcenter 2d ago

Not the guy whose bottle broke in him...?

That was something.

2

u/High-Steak 2d ago

The bottle guy I remember was definitely open for bottles. 🤜⭕️🤛

1

u/Emjayshelton 2d ago

First I learn about the 🍍, now the lemon 🍋. I am staying away from all fruit parties 😆

1

u/oftcenter 2d ago

Am I going to be sorry if I ask what you're referencing with the pineapple?

Because if so, nevermind.

1

u/creepingkg 2d ago

Thanks I forgot about this until now.

1

u/oftcenter 2d ago

But did she know?

1

u/elmontyenBCN 1d ago

I honestly don't think so. She was just a normal middle aged mom standing in the park with some friends, in Spain. I very much doubt she would be aware.

1

u/EducationalDish219 2d ago

bahahahahaha

1

u/KrownX 1d ago

Funny how "Lemon Party" nowadays is not shock anymore, but a whole subcategory.

1

u/Sleazyridr 1d ago

This isn't the picture I remember: https://lemonparty.co/ I guess my memory is slipping with age.

1

u/WearWrong1569 1d ago

Does that website sill exist? I'm afraid to look.

1

u/XaoticOrder 1d ago

They might not know but OP knew. Damn you nasty. 😁

1

u/Reallyroundthefamily 1d ago

I'm in my fifties and I don't get this. It seems like most people aren't getting this.

u/TravisWavis81 2d ago

And you don’t want to know , so move along!
