This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No idea who this is

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.today 11 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Can someone tell me too ? Please.

He's a 2010s era, weird part of YouTube shit poster. Started out with edgy/crass/racist vlog style videos. He popped off when he introduced pink guy. With his newfound success he spread out into a ton of different types of videos ranging from music videos, Japanese lessons, topical comedy, weird sketches, satire, public pranks, low budget gross-out jackass style stunts, an entire cinematic universe, and creating the Harlem shake. All while still staying wildly racist and playing into the edgy humor that was so popular at the time. It does not hold up well haha

The guy seems to be speedrunning career.

After reading their explanations to you I still don’t understand but I do now realize that there is no summary brief enough to make me give a shit.

But it didn't explain what the greentext was about.

Google Joji or Filthy Frank. That'll give you pics and context.

Can i DDG ?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

You can DDGFY

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Now there’s three of us.

[–] Murvel@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

No, but then again, not everyone can be men of culture

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What, did he do this?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 27 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Yes, but clips are fairly rare and mostly woven into memes or blurry. Or both. It came just after his debut as joji, on the tail of The Extravaganza, so the reaction was more expectant than appreciative, which pushed him even further away from frank, in my opinion.

[–] virku@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Thanks for that! I haven't seen that video in years.

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Holy Batman, this is the first time I'm seeing this, and I've known about this since it was first on the internet. On a 4 month old post, in this part of the internet, localized entirely in the braindead greentext community.

Edit: My client decided that it wants me to reply to this comment, regardless if I delete and re-reply, instead of the one below with the actual link.

https://youtu.be/gGZI3VN4x0k?t=94 This is the best i could find, enjoy :D

Anyone ever experience someone else discovering that Joji is frank without any prior knowledge of frank? It's so surreal some people actually get mad at a dude who made dumb jokes when he was a kid.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

These days everyone is expected to be perfect and never make a mistake. Because if you do make a mistake people will still be digging it up 30+ years later.

[–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He's back? Have y'all seen Plummcorp? Dracula Flow? It's hard to explain, but there's a lore to watching the more recent videos in order. Old filthy frank is back with a newer twist. His style of comedy this time is making old men say zoomer slang.

Invest now.

[–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fuck Phassakorn Saetang. I only invest when Randall Thymes is in charge 😤

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Randall really puts us shareholders first, love his vision, really hope they give him a Ted Talk soon.
