Remember when this song was the one related to toilets?

Season 7 Featured on: PROTONOMICON ~ The Cult of Proto Collection

Ripped by DonnieTheGuy

Unfortunately, due to both real-life circumstances and managing this blog, I haven't been able to keep too up to date with this year's halloween event, The Cult of Proto storyline. Althesame, a new album is a new album, and immediately on release I downloaded it to see what fun stuff I'd missed out on. I had seen some stuff from it here and there already, like Bloody Freddy - which, fun fact, recently became the first rip on the blog to have its tentative name changed to an official one thanks to this album release! But Remember when this song was the one related to toilets? was REALLY the one that got me in going through the album, an endeavor so perfect yet one I never could've foreseen.

Okay, so, where to start with the backstory for this...there's a very particular YouTube series going around by voice actor and animator RainingKetchup, which voice acts, animates, and generally spoofs/pokes fun at the Omori Boy webcomic series - the predecessor to hit indie RPG Omori. One thing led to another, and suddenly a segment in one of these videos - of Mr Omoriboy himself singing a mocking Redditor anthem along with an army of wojaks (dont worry about it) - took off en masse in certain circles on Twitter. It was a perfect shitposting storm, from the pure absurdity of the clip out of context, to making fun of redditor/incel culture, to the endearingly sketchy animation-style - and, on top of it all, being a genuinely really fun tune to listen to with stupidly well-done vocals.

It's the kind of clip that I immediately expected to blow up in terms of getting edits, much like the recent influx of Jay Eazy Mega Man shitposts, yet its been bizarrely...low on output. Part of that, as I understand it, is that the song was simply pretty hard to work with before its stems were released (at which point the meme was unfortunately on its way out). But another part of it, at least to me, seemed to be that the concept for edits almost "plateaued" immediately, with the debut of OMORIBOY the PIRATE!!!☠️☠️☠️ - a YTPMV of a song from the Baby Felix Halloween Game Boy Color game, that has somehow reached HALF A MILLION views, almost doubling the video its source comes from. Its creator is UUN4, a frequent SiIvaGunner contributor behind rips such as Plains of Des-passing-to, and Baby Felix Halloween (and Felix the Cat in general) were already long-cemeted parts of SiIvaGunner history. With all that said, it's no wonder the meme ended up taking refuge under SiIvaGunner - though often times, like with Remember when this song was the one related to toilets?, it's entirely disconnected from its original spike in popularity as an Omoriboy YTPMV.

With ALL that backstor out of the way...the rip's just fuckin' funny. I've made no secret that I hold very dear affection for Paralyzer as a meme, and basically dedicated the entire post of YACKER TOILET just toward gushing over its place as a relic of old-internet and as a genuinely distinct and fun piece of music on its own. Remember when this song was the one related to toilets? is as straightforward of a concept as you get - it's a YTPMV of Paralyzer into the tune of the aforementioned Baby Felix Halloween song, Pirate Island, made to quite clearly evoke the spirit of OMORIBOY the PIRATE!!!☠️☠️☠️. Through that, it sort of calls back to the past and present internet age all at once, althewhile being genuinely very funny. I think its the vocals that sell it - sentence mixed almost exactly like the vocals in OMORIBOY the PIRATE!!!☠️☠️☠️ whilst still containing most of the words in Paralyzer's chorus.

Simple, effective, yet required two paragraphs of lore-dumping on the origins and spread of OMORIBOY the PIRATE!!!☠️☠️☠️ - and even then I didn't even get into Felix the Cat's notoriety on SiIvaGunner since way back in 2016. It's funny how much there can be to these immensely silly rips sometimes, huh?

GOOD NEWS because it doesn't have the Omoriboy vocals it's technically a Pirate Island - Baby Felix Halloween rip and not an Omoriboy rip. life is good

the new siivagunner rip for Moxie's theme is TERRIBLE because my friend has been tormenting me with omoriboy for weeks. and now it fucking burrows its way into my gay yuri hyperfixations like the parasite it is. life is pain
