THE TIMELINE
GOT WORSE

2020–2026 // LOCKDOWN SCROLLING. SHARED SOUNDS. RECURRING CHARACTERS. AN ENTIRE INTERNET DIALECT.

2020 wasn’t the invention of weird internet humor. It was the lockdown acceleration: phones became the hangout, short videos became the format, and jokes became things you replayed, remixed and quoted.

“Brain rot” is older than the internet—Oxford traces it to 1854. Gen Z and Gen Alpha gave it fresh life online, and by 2024 it was Oxford’s Word of the Year. This is the modern feed’s evolution, not the word’s birth certificate.

LOCKDOWN. PHONE ON.

COVID lockdowns moved hangouts, boredom and entertainment onto screens. Among Us made everyone sus; Coffin Dance and Bella Poarch turned a few seconds of sound and movement into endlessly repeatable jokes. the feed got faster, attention got shorter, and context became optional.

THE SOUND BECOMES THE JOKE

John Cena saying ‘bing chilling,’ a Fortnite-card giveaway and SugarCrash! became clips you recognized before anyone explained them. GigaChad and uncanny Mr. Incredible edits turned a face into a whole mood. the punchline was knowing the reference.

THE FEED LEARNS OUR WEAKNESS

Quandale Dingle stories, Only in Ohio and Talking Ben made absurd voices, names and recurring characters into their own language. Sigma and Patrick Bateman edits could turn almost any clip into the same joke. sound + image + repetition; understanding was no longer required.

SKIBIDI TAKES OVER

toilets got heads: DaFuq!?Boom!’s Skibidi Toilet grew from a YouTube Short into serialized battles, factions and lore. John Pork was calling, the Smurf Cat was everywhere, and hood-irony edits kept scrambling the format. you didn’t just recognize the joke anymore; you followed its universe.

THE ROT GETS A NAME

the TikTok Rizz Party, Costco Guys’ BOOM and the Low Taper Fade became catchphrases people carried off the screen. ‘brain rot’ became a mainstream way to name the content and the feeling of consuming too much of it. Oxford made it Word of the Year; the dictionary had entered the group chat.

EVERYTHING IS AN INSIDE JOKE

LeBron parodies, gurt and name slang made ordinary words feel like passwords. Chicken Jockey became a cinema shout-along, while ‘100 men vs. one gorilla’ turned an absurd hypothetical into a shared argument. the comment section was now a dialect.

THE ANIMALS START TALKING

Italian Brainrot and related AI-character trends turned sneaker sharks, crocodile aircraft and coffee-cup ballerinas into a recurring cast. Indonesian Tung Tung Tung Sahur joined the wider remix universe too. animals got names nobody could pronounce; then everybody learned them.

ROT GLOBAL
Triple T — Tung Tung Tung Sahur

TRIPLE T

Tung Tung Tung Sahur became ‘Triple T’: TikTok edits put the wooden character into baseball, doorbell cams and everyday life. the feed found triple t. then triple t found everybody.

FEED CAPTURED

67

Skrilla’s song, basketball edits and the 67 Kid turned a phrase into a shared reflex. two numbers, one hand motion, zero explanation required. language had officially been compressed into integers.
