I HATE(D) 67

Before we read, I’d just like to share: this rant was made about 3 months ago, when the 67 meme affected me more. I’ve actually gotten more used to it as of now, although I don’t like it still. Here’s an archival post to find out when I REALLY hated it! Excuse sections with missing information.

Also, sorry for not posting in a while, life’s happening. PART 3 to the Davis Family saga should be soon!

—————-

I mean...it's in the title, what do you think this is about?

So as about 1% of the people reading this know, a few months ago on September 7th, aka 97 day, I released a blog post discussing 97, my history of it, and some silly facts about it, which if you haven't read, go read it.

It's pretty well-known 97 is my favorite number. I never had a hated number however.

..until about a month and a half ago, when my uncultured behind found out...about the 67 meme. Which- more accurately is "6-7" since it's pronouced "six-seven", which-...is ironic, because if you recall, when I first went by 97Scratch, I called myself "nine-seven" instead of "ninety-seven".

Oh no...we're only one paragraph in and the similarities. have begun. Now, if you don't know what 67 is, it's another one of Gen Alpha's annoying trends as of late. Gen Alpha has been (admittedly unfairly) mocked for it's brainrotty culture, such as Skibidi Toilet, language like "gyatt" or "rizz", and it's short attention span. I'm technically Gen Alpha since I was born in 2010, but I prefer "Gen Z'alpha", as I incorporate both generational cultures.

But apparently, meme culture has devolved some much...even a 2-digit number...can become a meme. Which-...HOW?!? I'll let you know how.

Let me explain to you the STUPID origin of the 67 meme.

I HATE(D) 67'S ORIGIN

So about a year ago there was a song called "Doot Doot (67)", where 6-7 was used as a lyric. The context behind why is a bit ambigious, although it could be connected to police language.

It was later used throughout early 2025 by a basketball player, and sometimes used in reference to 6'7 basketball players. Because I lived under a rock I didn't notice this rise until it affected me.

In fact, the main thing I know this meme for dates back to MARCH of this year, where at a basketball game, a TikTok video recorded this obnoxiously Justin-Bieber wannabee blonde seemingly 12-year-old screaming "67" into the camera for-...NO REASON. And yet this kid's face has gone viral, known as "67 kid".

His real name is "Maverick Trevillian" by the way. Maverick Trevillian? Is he a 12-year-old or some sort of car selling agency?  This guy even managed to get into a South Park episode.

If it wasn't obvious... I. Hate. Him.

I don't actually hate him, he did nothing to me after all; in fact don't bully this kid, at the end of the day he is a bit annoying but he doesn't deserve to harassed or cyberbullied. Fame is a double edged sword.

Actually, when you look into it, maybe he does deserve a bit of hate. Y'know why?

Recently, he allegedly got into a crypto scam.

Yes. A CRYPTO SCAM!

How the hell did we go from obnoxious Gen Alpha memes to CRYPTO SCAMS?! Man- I'm done with this.

WHY I HATE(D) 67

We got into the general history of the meme, but now I want to highlight some incidents of mine and proof that this has gotten out of hand.

Let's start with how I found out about 67. It was through a joke on Discord out of all things.

First of all, there are MANY spammers using this meme on YT now, particularly with YTbers I watch, like Matt Neff and VP Awesome.

Just today, there was a spammer on Matt Neff's premiere video discussing A.I. Plagiarism, and I was heated because he even started a CHAIN REACTION. I had to block them so I could focus on the video. Why do these kids find this funny?

And look at THIS! (Censoring name to prevent harassment) This is one of my FRIENDS btw. Not even my friends side with me. Shut. Up. 

Here's another example of spammers at _:__ when VP Awesome was making a rant stream discussing YT's strange copyright rules.

This angered me because poor VP was clearly pissed, yet these annoying ass children came only to his stream to spam a stupid meme. I do know this kid's prolly like, 12 or something, but still...children like this should not be on the internet. Mothers, we do not give preschoolers tablets for a REASON!

VP Awesome also had this quote about 67 when he managed to stop spammers in a Daniel Tiger stream.

"Bro if y'all start spamming 67 in my shit you getting banned bro.

[spammers begin to leave]

HE KNOWS WHAT'S UP!!!

Anyway, outside of YT, people on Scratch an are telling me about this, and it's just...exhausting.

I STILL HATE(D) 67

So, at the end of the day, I'm aware 67 is just some silly meme that at the end of the day hurts nobody. I don't care if you like 67 or dislike 67, I'm not going to diss you for it. And this entire post was mostly hyperbole.

It's just that I will IMMENSELY hate 67 for probably the next few months it's relevant, and no one can discourage me. Who knows, maybe I'll look back at this laughing. I used to hate Skibidi Toilet, but I've chilled to it as well.

That's all I got to say bout 67. By the way, if you're wondering, no, I am not going to give you a list 67 things about 67 like I did with 97. 67 doesn't deserve it. I am that petty.

The Davis Family: The WORST Family On Supernanny (Pt. 2)

Welcome to Part 2 on the Davis Family saga, where we observe one of the most dysfunctional family to ever air on Supernanny.

I highly suggest you read Part 1 first for more context, but let's recap from last time. What's wrong with this family?

• Phil is lazy and misogynistic, forcing his wife and daughters to do all the chores.
• Phil has anger problems and will scream swear words and slurs at his children.
• Phil is violent and "punishes" his kids via the belt or his bare hands.
• Phil makes weird comments sexualizing his teen daughter's clothing and slut-shames her.
• Debbie does jackshit seeing her children being abused and bullied.
• Morgan is parentified in her own house and is failing school as a result of it.
• The younger girls and Phillip witness unfiltered abuse everyday and are suffering.

...hmm...there's a LOT wrong with this family, and I don't think Jo alone can fix this. We should get CPS here. Or the police, preferably someone else. But let's see what she does.

PART 2: Fixing This Family 

Jo begins her meeting, and she starts it by saying "There are some...serious issues that need to be adressed..." That's one way to put it.

The Cathartic Call-Out

Jo immediately comes for Phil and calls him out for his outdated household expectations for women, and his blatant lack of responsibilities in the household. Starting off strong, I see. By the way, the whole time, he has this weird annoying smirk like he wants to argue, but he knows he's not in the right to. 

Why are you smiling, you weirdo? She's calling you out on being misogynistic!

She then addresses the fact he slut shames Morgan, to which he has a GENIUS excuse for...

Jo: "The man who raised her, since she was 3 years old...calls her a SLUT and called her a HOE yesterday!" 

Phil: "No, what I was saying I didn't want her to dress like one-" (?)

Jo: "That's what you called her."
Phil: "I'm not saying I called her a slut, I said if you want to dress like one, is what I said." (!!!)

Jo: "I was there."

Phil: "That's what I said-" (shut your mouth)

Jo: "Phil".

Phil: "That's what I'm saying, you can't, that's what I'm trying-" (T^T)

Jo: "Phil. Phil. I don't even think you know what you say when you're angry."

WOW. Just-...wow. The gaslighting he tried to do to undermine his atrocious behavior is disturbing. In what universe would saying your daughter dresses like a slut be better?! I feel like he's used these manipulation tactics on his wife and Morgan in the past. Thankfully, because Jo won't stand down, Phil's attempt at gaslighting are broken down, and he's realizing Jo-...well, he said it, has put him in his place. But he still tries to argue, and-

Jo: "You fly off the handles, you're like a bull-"

Phil: "You think she should show her cleavage at 14-"

Jo: "She wasn't."

W JO! GET REKT PHIL!

For once someone in his life is telling him off instead of giving in to his control. She then calls him out on his abusive discipline methods, and how they have the ironic opposite effect. Instead of teaching these kids to be smart, respectful, and improve themselves, he's teaching them to tolerate violence and be violent themselves. As she puts it, the kids are being raised in "constant earthquakes", and it's "breaking their spirits". He has nothing to say for this. Good. You shouldn't. Jo describes Phil perfectly:

"Overpowering, dominating...fueled by anger, you are a bully. And all you're doing is breaking down your relationships, your marriage, and causing more and more destruction."

Exactly. He's not a father, he's a bully. Bullies want control. They feed on humiliating and being seen as bigger than others. From Phil's perspective, he demands respect, but never wants to give respect either. If no one intervenes, it's going to destroy this household. One day, when their children grow up, they'll want no contact with them, and it'll be entirely their fault.

After calling Phil out, she rightfully turns to Debbie and says "and you allow this to happen", as the mom says nothing and dips down in the light shame she has, on the verge of tears. GOOD.

You know what this image personifies? Shame. Really. It's just shame.

I'm glad the mom got called out as well, because once again: although I blame a lot of problems in this household on Phil's abusive behavior, and I sympathize with Debbie, at the same time it's almost equally abusive to not stand up for your own children and let this go on for years, making both you and your family absolutely miserable. As Jo puts it:

"And the reason you gave me? 'Because I want my family to be together.' That's the price your prepared to pay is it? Just to keep your family all under one roof, you're prepared to DESTROY and BREAK the SPIRITS?"

Exactly x2. Even if she is a still victim in this abusive household, at the end of the day, your children should not be a last priority. She keeps getting back with Phil, she refuses to finalize a divorce, all so things can just stay the same. And even if it's easier, it's going to destroy these kids' mental health so bad that once again- they will probably avoid contact with their parents and be damaged for years to come.

"I expect 100% commitment, I expect an open mind, I expect you to accept the change, I expect you both to listen to me, and HARD WORK. Cuz trust me, this ain't gonna be no walk in the park..." - Jo

So, with that, it's time for Jo to start intervening. Now, before we examine her attempts to improve the family, I have to admit: I am sadly not that optimistic Jo can save this family. Jo already has to go through a lot to improve basic families, like teaching proper discipline, teaching parents to be confident, and establishing routines. 

..So, how are you going to fix a horrifically abusive father, a permissive apathetic mother, a teen girl clearly parentified and in a bad situation because of this, and all the younger girls who are being traumatized by all of this?...and...Phillip Jr, we can't forget him. It's gonna take a lot of work. We'll go through 5 exercises Jo does to improve this family, ranging from "unique" to constructive. Let's give this whole thing a shot. Speaking of which...

The Davis Family: The WORST FAMILY on Supernanny (Pt. 1)

Child abuse.

These two words are very upsetting and triggering to many people. Abusing, torturing, and hurting anything is bad. 

But to abuse a child, a poor, innocent, extremely vulnerable person who has never done anything wrong to you...is a special type of an evil. An evil that no one should justify or understand. An evil that must be stopped.

An evil that's sadly more common than we think.

Which brings us to one of the most infamous examples of real child abuse seen on live television: The Supernanny episode:

The Davis Family.

WARNING: This episode contains possibly triggering content relating to child abuse, both verbal and physical. There's discussion relating to toxic home environments, domestic abuse, slut shaming, and misogyny. Viewer discretion advised!

Yes, I have to put this warning on a SUPERNANNY episode! 

FWI...

If you don't know what already know what Supernanny is, it's a reality TV-show based from Britain about a woman named Jo Frost, who specializes in helping broken families, struggling parents, and misbehaving kids. Most often or not it's portrayed as if she's fixing "bad children", when in reality she's fixing bad parents. 

The episode we'll be discussing, "The Davis Family", is no different. It was the 14th episode of Season 5. You can learn more about the episode, it's reception, and etc. by visiting the Supernanny wiki: https://supernanny.fandom.com/wiki/The_Davis_Family_(Season_5)

You can also watch the full-episode (uncensored) here:

Already, looking at the thumbnail of a girl about to cry, and the title "Foul-mouthed father ruins all family relationships", you can tell this episode's going to be heavy.

Here's a drinking game (that applies to all parts). Take a shot anytime I say:

• toxic
• misogyny / misogynistic
• abuse / abusive
• wow / woah
• stop
• apathy / apathetic
• hell
• abuse / abusive
• parent / parentified
• sexualize
• shame
• poor

Stalling aside, let's begin, shall we?

PART 1: Meeting the Family

All Supernanny episodes begin with Jo riding a car and watching a Demo Reel of the family, submitted by the parents. Today's no different, as we meet the Davises from Florida.

Family Preview

Trust me, you're going to hate seeing these faces soon. Especially his.

Let's introduce ourselves to the family. The parents are Debbie and Phil respectively, and they have 5 children:

• Morgan (14) - eldest daughter
• Phillip Jr. (9) - only son
• Madison (4)
• Tiffany (3)
• Tori (2)

The Davis Family (excluding Debbie)

The younger 3 daughters, who are absolutely adorable by the way, Madison, Tiffany, and Tori, will frequently be grouped together as simply "the girls". Morgan will also have an important role in this story. And for Phillip Jr, we actually don't really get to meet him. Aside from seeing him on camera and him being mentioned occasionally, he doesn't even speak a single line the episode. Which could either be interpreted him as being shy or...scared. We'll talk about that later.

Anyway, Phil is a water-plant operator and Debbie is a commercial-insurance sales producer. Seems like an average American family household.

For at least 10 seconds, until the drama already begins. We immediately learn that Phil is actually Morgan's step-dad, not biological dad, which already gives you a hint their relationship might not be the strongest. This is quickly supported by the first of many infuriating scenes in the episode:

"Morgan was up here watching 'em and look what she let them do!" Uh...your referring to you.

Phil is on the couch, and Debbie notices the girls' got their toys all over the floor, so she tells Phil to help clean up. However, he then says that's Morgan's responsibility, which- no, it's not? Your the DAD, you're the one supposed to be helping? Also, notice how on the right, it appears Morgan is doing her homework. She should be focusing on that, Phil.

Phil then hints at his misogyny by explaining what he thinks his wife should do:

"First thing a wife should do is she should have the house cleaned before she leaves, she should have the kids ready in a decent time, when she gets home from work, which, ey-, you sitting on your rear end all day."

Yes. He actually says this about his own wife. Hey, Phil, what do you do? Your WIFE is the one who cleans, your WIFE is the one who gets the kids ready, but what do YOU do, other than...well..."sitting on your rear end all day"? You can tell this man has seriously outdated and kind of sexist opinions on what women are supposed to do. And look at Debbie, stuck in this awkward marriage.

They Debbie talks about how the mornings here are awful. It takes over an hour just to get a sleepy Morgan ready, and at the same time, she has to help get her sisters ready for daycare. No one cooperates, and it often means the family is late to everything.

"Morgan does help me do that, she complains about it, whines about it, but it's what we have to do."

Wait...what do you mean WE?! Morgan's 14! While it's great for older siblings to help around the house, imagine Morgan having to do such work to get her sisters ready and under control when her parents should be doing most of that. She has to get to school herself, mind you.

This all tells me how much Morgan is parentified in this house. Instead of being able to focus on what she needs to do, she's essentially parenting her sisters all the time. She has to pick up their toys, she has to help get them ready, she probably has to get them to bed as well. No wonder Morgan takes forever to wake up, she's probably always tired from helping his sisters all the time!

Not only is Morgan stressed out from essentially being her sister's 2nd mother, but her constantly being late, having trouble sleeping, and not being able to catch up with her schoolwork is even causing her to fail school.

"I'm a straight A student, but I'm failing my first period because I'm always late.

How do you allow this?! Poor Morgan should be focusing on school, not her younger sisters.

The Closest I've Ever Been to a "Fight"

FIRST POST OF 2026 BABY!

You remember how in my Detention blog post I off-handedly mentioned:

"...considering I had done worse in the past. Y'know, like... punching a student. Yep. (Story for another day!)"

Turns out today is "another day". Why I chose today is because I actually vented about this story to my counselor today. It may be old, but I still find it a bit relevant and kind of a cringe funny, like all of my old stories. I'd just like to clarify: I don't find myself a "violent" person, but I do sometimes do impulsive things when I'm angry, and this story is an example of one.

Stalling aside, let me get into it.

Prologue

Let's set the scene: Early 2023. I often site 6th through 8th grade to the years where I was at my worst. I was insufferable, miserable, full of myself, bullied others, thought I was wise, bla bla bla basic overconfident middle school INTP behavior.

In particular I remember I was rude and often dismissive to my teachers, mostly my 7th grade Math and English teacher. They didn't deserve that, and I'm sorry. This story takes place in 7th grade specifically.

I'm not sure what lead up to this, but I remember angsty 12 year old me was feeling really bad in the middle of Math class. Maybe I was just in one of those moods. I was also bored by the lesson because- to brag, 12 year old me "knew everything" that year. (I didn't, but knew most, so I lied to myself). 

For some reason, I then went to the bathroom and actually was tempted to skip class entirely, as I went to the end of the hallway instead of class. I'm not sure what my plan was, though. The math teacher caught me a few minutes afterwards and reported me back to class, as I spent the rest of the class in misery.

You notice how disconnected this story actually is? I don't know why I was upset, I don't know why I was tempted to skip class, I don't know at all. I really don't get me sometimes. But this leads up to the title.

Incident

Now, I mentioned I bullied others, but I myself was also bullied due to being a miserable, aloof smart aleck. It actually sounds like a toxic cycle when I think of it. I don't know which came first, but regardless, it was just obnoxious.

In this specific instance, I was sitting on a bench waiting for lunch, wallowing to myself. One of my classmates, we'll call him Kaden, began to taunt me by trying to push me off the bench. I remember him spouting something like "No one likes you, A.A". ...and that's when I snapped.

Soon enough, I decided to punch him back in the chest and walk away.

...and that was all.

...no, really, that's all. What, did you expect something more flashy? No, just angsty pre-teen punches one of his classmates because he was bullying him.

Now, if this was a fake story, I would've gone on all badass, and that kid would respect me from now on. But this is reality, so guess what happened instead?

Reprimand

As anger-induced that punch was, I also felt a bit guilty. That guilt quickly dialed up to 20 when during lunch, I was called into the dreaded Principal's Office.

Now, before we continue, I would just like to bring up...I find it VERY interesting how no one reported Kaden pushing me on the bench and verbally bullying me, but the moment I fought back, that's when it gets reported. Great job stopping bullying, school. 

Anyway, moment I get into the Principal's Office, I begin bawling once I'm chastised for hurting Kaden. I was very remorseful and apologetic, not hoping for the worst. I specifically remember the principal even mentioning he had a " sore red mark" on his stomach, and me, in sobby tears, cried "tHat MaKes mE fEEl WoRSE!" Which...y'know, knowing I was even capable of such violence at 12 genuinely does make me regret the entire thing.

I remained crestfallen until Kaden and my middle school counselor arrived, and I began to explain further what happened. I remember the Principal looking at Kaden and wondering why he would tell me something like that, and Kaden admitted he did it mostly because others said stuff like that about me.

My counselor, as usual, was amazing though, as while I was obviously scolded for punching a student, she told Kaden at the same time not to trust in rumors and still respect me. I apologized at the end of it all, and came out feeling a bit better, if still angsty.

Epilogue

I remember coming home that day and my mom found out about the incident, but she wasn't too mad, just glad I wasn't in too much trouble. I also remember my brother came home that day, and when he found out about why I hit Kaden, he actually justified it! That's how older brothers be sometimes.

For any takeaways from this story: an obvious one is adolescents are stupid, but another obvious one is bullying can be a toxic cycle. I never want to hurt someone as violently as I did here, no matter how bad they made me feel. At the same time, verbal bullying is just as hurtful as physical bullying.

While I think some of low social status was my fault, justifying how others thought of me, at the same time, you don't tell someone "nobody likes you". Things like that can sting, just as bad as a punch.

Hope Kaden is doing ok nowadays. Thanks for reading my lil' story!
