Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything

Blues Clues

We had El Chavo del 8 growing up.

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?

Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

I was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.

Gen what? Don't invoke the wrath.

How do you know that his name is Steve if you never watched it?

And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!

I'm a millennial from the US and I've never seen even an episode of Blue's Clues.

I wish I could claim I wasn't from the US because its embarrassing to live here right now, but I am. Never watched a single episode of blues clues, it was popular when I was in high school.

Gen x got MASH reruns and internalised the theme song "suicide is painless"

We stopped crying. Except at funerals and over properly cooked steak.

わかりました、賢い人

I disagree. Transformers:The Movie

Yeah, I used to wash MASH with my parents because one house TV's and primetime. It was ok. I watched the finale, It was ok.

I was a hell of a lot sadder when the dropped Hogans Heroes from syndication.

Ferngully

MASH was the most popular sitcom of the 1970s in North America. Surgeons at an Army hospital in the Korean War in the 50s running schemes and banging nurses to distract themselves from the horror of war.

Same, I was 15. Maybe it should be Atreyu crying out for Artax for Gen Xers and Xennials

WHY DID YOU REMIND ME 😢

That’s just a theory. /s

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.

I never played FNAF, but those were the only Game Theorist videos I really liked.

Huh, I thought FNAF was all younger millennials

They were masturbating.

The only reason I knew it was M.A.S.H. was the font/color.

In this case, I don't feel too bad being missed. Keep your head down and stay out of the news :)

That said, I watched Theorists with my tween. Kinda sad seeing MP go, but not as sad as MP was.

I expect the channels will go tits up without his personality. The new hosts are pleasant but honestly unremarkable. The show was far less about the content and more of his performance. If you thought the idea was crap, you subliminally blamed it on him. There are plenty of other personalities out there doing what they're doing and almost all of them go on unknown because they don't have screen chemistry.

i can agree on 'the meh generation'

As if

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.

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.

Mash, Blue's Clues and MatPat.

For GenX: Mr. Rogers, maybe? Or, I dunno... Max Headroom? 🤷🏻‍♂️

The first one looks like M.A.S.H. to me

I know! Thats the only one I know and I'm barely 40 years old.
