lemming741, The 4077th salutes you MatPat
🫡
JusticeForPorygon, Me who’s seen one MatPat video ever:
Emanuel, To think this is how I found out about MatPat
InfiniWheel, That’s kind of amazing considering his channel has been going on for like 13 years
MySkinIsFallingOff, Is it only the game channel that closed, or all the theory channels?
I don’t understand why I’m asking tho, I really don’t give a shit. Some of the Film Theory’s were good for a lazy sunday background noise.
InfiniWheel, All 4 of them. But they aren’t closing, they are just getting new hosts, MatPat is just leaving his network.
Emanuel, I don’t know if I came across as saying that this is how I discovered MatPat, but that is not the case. I meant that this post is how I found out about his stepping away (kinda) from the Theorist channels. I’ve known him for almost the full 13 years that he’s been making videos, though I’ve kinda fallen out of love with his channel since FNAF.
hedgehogging_the_bed, I found out yesterday from this post.
Valmond, X-Gen: cries because no one remembers them.

You’re missing a generation, here’s a couple clips you can do a screenshot for the next time this meme gets posted.
Mbourgon, Absolutely on point.
Aviandelight, OMG how could you do this to me.
Korne127, Only knew Film Theorists but didn’t really like them… but I’m sorry for everyone who misses them, I can imagine that it’s painful when someone you like stops producing such content.
MotoAsh, What? Weren’t older millenials in their 20’s when Blue’s Clue’s ended?
ericisshort, I’m a millennial but too old to have ever watched Blue’s Clues, so I couldn’t give two shits when Steve left.
Also, it’s hilarious that this meme completely ignores Gen X.
Xtallll, I was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.
ericisshort, Same. Are you from 82, 83, or 84?
uid0gid0, Oh well, whatever, nevermind.
HRDS_654, Not like this.
Chev, How do you know that his name is Steve if you never watched it?
ericisshort, He’s been a meme for over 20 years, and I’m a member of society.
Corkyskog, Gen what? Don’t invoke the wrath.
lobut, (edited ) I’m an older millenial that identifies closer to Gen X. I think mine would be … Will Smith crying to Uncle Phil about his dad on Fresh Prince? That was pretty iconic. Wasn’t a good bye or finale one though.
Seinfeld finale was kinda bleh. I skipped Roseanne, Friends and Frazier’s finales to be honest and the fact no one references them never made me catch up. The Simpsons seemingly won’t die. I’d say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality. I guess I can’t choose?
What would yours be?
ericisshort, Steve wasn’t the finale of Blue’s Clues, so I don’t think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I can’t think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.
root_beer, I fell off from Friends and Frasier years before they ended, partially because I didn’t have time to watch tv at that point, but for Friends it was also because I just didn’t care anymore. Not sure whether I can really say I was representative of the Xennial demographic though. The finale of Roseanne, on the other hand, was the groaner of a punchline to the hack comedian’s joke that the final season was, so it certainly wasn’t iconic either.
That scene from Fresh Prince that you picked is a great one. I made another comment suggesting Atreyu trying to save Artax, and I suppose I should add the super dark finale of Dinosaurs. Otherwise I can’t think of much else; so many of the iconic characters I grew up watching wore out their welcomes because tv execs in the ‘90s somehow figured out how to suffocate the lightning they caught in a bottle.
smort, Maybe the Cheers finale, in 1993
lobut, Two main things I remember about that finale. Cliff ending the conversation on shoes because their topic was about shoewear. Lastly, Sam saying to the incoming patron: “we’re closed”.
I loved Cheers.
WorkIsSlow, And they were devastated by it.
residentmarchant, And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!
ElBarto, I’m not gonna lie, that choked me up really good, I really needed that at the time.
Sabin10, I’m to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I’m also used to society ignoring my generation so that’s fine.
ook_the_librarian, It was stupid to use a kids show as an example. That episode aired in 2002. Only a small slice of people born 1980 to 2000 would care.
The other examples had an audience with a much wider age range.
andthenthreemore, As a non American millennial I have no fucking clue what the second one is.
transientpunk, Blues Clues
ObviouslyNotBanana, See I still don’t know what that is but thanks for saying it anyway!
transientpunk, It was a kids TV show. I’m a millennial, and I saw it in the mornings occasionally, but never had any connection to it, so I’m with y’all
driving_crooner, We had El Chavo del 8 growing up.
bdonvr, As someone who didn’t grow up on it but heard about it while learning Spanish
What a strange show lmao
yamanii, Absolute masterpiece.
Mannimarco, Same
GrammatonCleric, (edited ) GEN-X THINKS YOU’RE ALL CRYBABIES
Wow, apparently I was right. Can’t even take a joke 😂
DragonTypeWyvern, Kurt Cobain knew how to quit his job like a real man
neuracnu, (edited )
braxy29, WHY DID YOU REMIND ME 😢
NoiseColor, Omg I’m a boomer. Who are these people?
psud, The first one is MASH
NoiseColor, I know! Thats the only one I know and I’m barely 40 years old.
originalucifer, cries to self in genX
samus12345, We just said “whatever” instead of crying.
Thcdenton, As if
originalucifer, i can agree on 'the meh generation'
PeriodicallyPedantic, Was matpat big with zoomers? I thought he was more a millennial audience 🤔
gmtom, Nah his biggest audience was FNAF kids.
dual_sport_dork, (edited ) Sounds about right.
I believe FNAF getting mega-popular was the precise moment when the scales tipped for me and I officially became old. I looked at it, and I decided that it’s just dumb and I can’t comprehend why the kids these days are so into it. I mean, I know the real draw is watching streamers or whoever freak out at all the jump scares and act ridiculous. But that’s a pastime that doesn’t appeal to me in any form whatsoever. Just, get that kind of thing off my lawn.
I did watch a ton of Game Theories videos, though.
guyinachair, I wanna point out, recognizing something isn’t for you doesn’t make you old. Your refusal to recognize it as something someone else enjoys is where that boomer mentality comes in. That’s just a theory, a BOOMER theory
Truly an internet staple
PeriodicallyPedantic, Huh, I thought FNAF was all younger millennials
bl4ckblooc, I never played FNAF, but those were the only Game Theorist videos I really liked.
DragonTypeWyvern, He had a couple I enjoyed and actually bought the premise, but I’ll be damned if I could tell you what they were
