One kid shouts at another "DUDE I GOT ANIMORPH POWERS They flatten and produce hooved forelimbs, eyes bulging and receding, spine twisting and crunching in a horrific flow and churn of flesh and bone, until they become a depressed stallion. The other blankly replies "you got an animorph powers and decided to animorph into an Italian?" |

Lemmy's as young as I thought, and this post confirmed it for me. Get dated, kids. |

No... It's just really far fetched. I wouldn't have gotten it back in the 90s either. |

Of course not, because you weren't born yet. Boom, gottem. But in all seriousness, I was thinking folks who were kids in the 80s. The term was so widespread that it even reached me, contemporaneously outside the English speaking world. |

Yeah, I haven't seen any Rocky films. They don't speak to me. I'm also not american and ir's a very american film, I hear. I was born in 1990, so don't consider myself particularly young. I think I'm on the median on Lemmy, but that's conjecture |

Ok, Grampa. ;)
I didn't get it, too. Different cultural sphere. The only Stallone movie we got to see as kids was Over The Top. |

Not all Italians were stallions. Stallone with special. |

Please think about those two sentences for a minute. |

Nor was every Austrian the terminator, but that hardly prevented kids from pretending |

I was a kid in the 80s and familiar with Stallone’s nickname. But the sad horse didn’t even remotely conjure the term stallion in my head. Those fuckers are usually jacked prancing or jumping things. It also could have been pretty good contrast humor to go from wiggly squiggle art to a huge buff horse worship drawing before dropping the punchline. |

Then you're the target audience
What’s confusing is that I’m 10 years older than the target audience for the Animorphs too. Tha stuff was my little brothers age, I was a junior in high school when those came out and I only have heard the title of them through memes. |

I think that's part of the joke. Frankly, I posted this one expecting maybe 2 people to get it. The real fun was acting as though a mixed era joke makes sense. We do a little trolling around here |
