what’s with some adult tv shows using tiktok speak/“brainrot” or acting like the example below, wouldn’t this approach work better with children’s shows? - eviltoast

for example, if one of the characters wants to say “bye mom”, they might instead say “PEACE OUT BROTHER! MM MM OH YEAH!” and starts dancing/doing a “cool” gesture.

some of them also use “tiktok speak”/brainrot but i don’t get why, since wouldn’t this be “cooler” with children? i don’t know any actual adults who like things like that nor do they speak like that.

are they perhaps making fun of the younger generation? because it seems genuine, not making fun.

    More accurately, it’s targeted for “not children”

    Adults happen to be “not children”, but teenagers REALLY WANT to be “not children”
