What's up you beautiful bastards!
I hope you're having a fantastic Monday.
Welcome back to the Phillip De Franco show
and let's jump into it.
The first thing we're going to talk about today is the internet is weird,
dumb, and fantastic news
and that's because we're starting off by talking about egg.
And specifically, we're talking about "World Record Egg".
Who as of the recording of this video has 3.7 Million followers on Instagram
Although by the time this video is up, it is probably going to be much, much more.
And that is because, this instagram account with just one photo
of egg, now holds in the instagram record
for most liked Instagram post in history.
The photo which was posted just ten days ago,
reads, "Let's set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram".
Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner of 18 Million.
We got this!
And unlike the other countless World Instagram Record accounts...
They did get it!
Just flying past the previous winner
which was Kylie Jenner's Stormi Webster photo
whose comments now are being spammed with egg emojis.
Kylie Jenner appears rightly unbothered by this,
posting a simple meme video of her breaking an egg.
Which, just after 15 hours was viewed over 20 Million times
And judging by the World Record Egg's Instagram account
it, appears that they will be selling merch soon. Which I applaud.
Congratulations on winning the social media lottery.
Now make that money.
Egg, is now also "verified",
which, uh, I imagine makes uh a few
of my YouTuber friends not too happy...
cause they still don't have their blue checkmark
and that's it, that's the story.
It's stupid, it's adorable and none of it matters
But sometimes I need a little of that.
But, a question I did want to pass off with this story.
Why, do you think this, and things like this happen?
Like based on the number of likes, there is a
pretty decent chance that those of watching right now
you hit that like button as well.
Was it just like, ha this is ridiculous, be part of the meme
Is it like a super deep commentary about how we as a society value ourselves based off of things that get likes and we honor those that are able to get the most likes
But then by putting an egg as the number one like getter maybe we realize that life is dumb and a lot of us value things that really have no meaning
maybe we realize that life is dumb and a lot of us value things that really have provide no value in our lives
We seek the attention and love from strangers without really getting to to know ourselves first
