"Why was six afraid of seven? Ask the tweenagers who won't stop saying both numbers, to the abject confusion of their parents. Even the middle-schoolers of South Park are obsessed with saying "six-seven." The meme, which began with the song " Doot Doot," by Skrilla, and blew all the way up to Kai Cenat's Twitch stream marks a firm divide in generational comedy. Anyone above 14 years of age doesn't understand it, and everyone below thinks it's the funniest thing they've heard all year."
"In just a 15-second trailer, the series manages to capture the range of emotions brought on by this meme. Parents are outraged and confused, being told, "Your students appear to be in some kind of cult involving the numbers six and seven." Terrifying but true. Then, the clip cuts to a bunch of kids, led by Cartman, excitedly shouting "six-seven" with the requisite hand motion. No further explanation necessary."
A meme originated with the song " Doot Doot," by Skrilla and surged further through Kai Cenat's Twitch stream, creating a clear generational comedic divide. Tweenagers and middle-schoolers repeatedly chant "six-seven" and perform a hand motion, finding it uproariously funny. Many adults, particularly those older than 14, react with confusion or outrage and fail to understand the appeal. South Park used a 15-second teaser for season 27, episode six to depict parents accusing students of belonging to a cult centered on the numbers six and seven. The clip concludes with kids, led by Cartman, gleefully chanting with no explanation.
