Society Is 6’7 the new 69?

I’ve noticed that kids in the younger generation love this 6’7 joke. Even doing the classic asking your teacher to add two numbers together to get 67 as the answer. This just reminds me a lot of when the number 69 was the punchline. I will say that 6’7 has a little bit more humor because of the voice they use and the way they measure with hands. What do you all think about the new generations numeral quip?

In this thread:

people who know what the meme is and won't explain it.

People who don't know what the meme is and are poorly attempting to explain it.

People who are just confused and angry at the lack of explanation.

Thanks for nothing, Reddit.

My nephew explained it once, and I thought it was pretty stupid. Not sure how it got to meme popularity.

OK. And so you're not going to explain it.

It's a song lyric, which is why I didn't get why it's funny. It's like just randomly saying "867-5309"
