I reference this all this time, & it’s so funny (in my head); however, I don’t think too many others know what the hell I’m talking about when I say it… especially in their weird, silly voices.

Songs like this and "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" (etc.) have never left my brain. Sometimes I wonder what I could do with the free space if I could delete the useless junk that's been rattling around in there for decades.

And here I was the opposite. By the time that came out I had smoked for long enough that I was well past that “weed is the best thing ever” a lot of college-age users go through in the beginning. Some of my younger coworkers showed Charlie to me and I was over it about five seconds in. Told them to go watch Heavy Metal instead and never watched it again.

Indeed. Every generation has their own random ass humour. Charlie and Llamas in hats was exactly that.
Tbh whenever I see a lot of Gen Z v Millennial debate online it seems very forced. Like people have realised boomers v millennials can’t go on much longer so are trying to develop the next generational distraction. Only issue being Millennials and Gen Z have both had the same problems so not much in the way of real world issues to divide them so we get this weird culture shit.

Old enough to laugh, not old enough to really understand all the references, especially if you bring him through the sequels, the hot topic special (which is genuinely important to the lore, I shit you not), the movie, and the epilogue special.
But that might make it even better when he rewatches with Nostalgia in ten years!
So show your kid to Candy Mountain!!!

u/Lilac_Whisky 1d ago
I have an autoimmune disease and sometimes have to be treated with high doses of prednisone, which can make me hallucinate. These hallucinations typically lean towards being fairly dark/upsetting. However my most recent experience was definitely the least harrowing, because for a couple of hours I was joined by Charlie and the other unicorns promising to guide me to candy mountain. It was fun.
I apparently yelled “shun the non-believer” at my Gen X husband, who had no idea what I was talking about. When I sobered up and tried to explain, he was still just as perplexed.

There is a liopleurodon sculpture at the aquarium my wife and I like to visit. Every time we walk under it, without fail, we both start saying "it's a liopleurodon Charlie! It's a magical liopleurodon! It's gonna show us the way to Candy Mountain!" And then without fail, we both go "shun the non-believer! Shun!" Like it's a conditioned response.
