    meanwhile in my environment 68 became funny by a joke when we were teenagers (at first I thought 67 was another spin on this):

    “you give me a bl*wjob and I owe you one”

      Think I remember selling this in T-shirt form when I worked at the cultural touchstone that is Spencer’s Gifts.

    I have a theory that, as the “unfunny number” sandwiched between two other funny numbers, 68 will eventually become funny simply by association. Or through memes like this which point this out.

      Ah yes, 68. The taint of funny numbers.

      We actually had a joke with number 68 a million years ago when I was in uni! It goes like this:

      “Hey babe, do you want to do a 68? Huh, what is that? You blow me and I owe you 1”

      Not saying it was funny, but it was a joke.

      Perhaps in a decade, 65 will also be funny

    …and we all fell down and were at sixes and sevens (meaning to be confused, daring back to Chaucer in 1374).

      I learned about it from Austin Powers in Goldmember in the early aughts, but yeah I’m glad someone else pointing out there’s like, an odd historical rhyme with the particular numbers coming back.
