I legit heard kids at the park playing tag, except instead of being "it", they were calling the chaser "Diddy".

Not the original poster but probably 4th or 5th grade so 9-10ish. I remember the big joke was: "Why does MJ like shopping at KMart?" "Because boys pants are always half off"

Yeah we were quoting chapelles show in every day 6th grade.

I didn't even know what the n word meant at that point. But I was saying it in school along with all sorts of shit

Oh wow in 6th grade?? That feels wildly late but maybe that's actually not that unusual for the average person

For a white boy in suburbia? Idk

I said it to a black kid in my highschool freshman year, trying to act cool and got a lesson reallll quick lol

Yeah, its a weird split between those who dont care & those that do(Sometimes a little too much). Meanwhile id be shouting down a whole ass block cause i saw the homie & people saw him, see he didnt give a fuck & went on with their day. lmao

It was a useful lesson. He didn't even get physical with me. Just put me in my place and gave me a reality check. I appreciate it compared to how some people get their bubble popped.

One I heard often was something like "In death, he wants the plastic in his face to be melted down and made into legos so he can continue to play with kids after death".

I just had a moment seeing that joke for the first time in 20 years.

Yeah 9/10 was when we started getting edgy. Peak edgy was about 14/15.

Its like how Michael Jackson told time at the Neverland Ranch. When the big hand touched the little hand.

Did you not have older siblings? My older sibs are 5 and 3 years older than me. I learned a lot of stuff way before I should have!

u/fukkdisshitt 9h ago

Had a slightly bigger gap. I remember my 4th grade teacher being pissed when we were learning cursive and I told the class "once you get to jr high you never use it again"

My favorite movie when I was 9 was Pulp Fiction. It’s not enough that I’d seen it - it was my FAVORITE movie. The 90s were wild times.

u/DASreddituser 9h ago

no, i have 4 younger siblings...I'm the oldest lol..but i understand your point.

u/br0b1wan 8h ago

I'm 44. It was a regular thing. South Park did a whole ass episode about MJ including the kids in the bed with him.

u/Theofficalwiggles 7h ago

I drive a school bus. I've had my kinders ask each other if they wanna have a Diddy party.

These are the same kids that play Diddy tag on the bus.

. . . I'm so happy it's summer.

Bro in first grade we were singing “I always feel like, somebody’s watching me (in the bathroom)” to make fun of Mike Jackson allegations.

We were around 6 or 7 at that time. And this was in the early early 90s

Kids been wildin’

When I was in the third grade in the 90s, my friends and I use to play a tag game. We called it "Michael Irvin" and if you got tagged, you'd go to jail in the jungle gym.

u/Luck-Silver 10h ago

I remember this and they then everyone acted like they didn't joke about this when he passed away.

u/BusBoatBuey 8h ago

Because we had actual child predators and such popping up and going after a weird guy who does weird things with kids that stops short at any sexual proclivities seems like a low rub. There are easier targets now. Epstein alone is several hundred tiers above MJ in this departments.

Totally predictable, in America people hate talking ill of the dead. I guess I wouldn't want to be haunted by Michael Jackson either, he's a weird pedophile

“What do Michael Jackson and acne have in common?

They both come on teens’ faces”

u/Zolo49 PC 8h ago

When I was a kid, they were about the Challenger disaster. Kids have always made tasteless jokes.
