Meta 'How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?' Meme Observation
I made a "how do you do, fellow kids?" joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme. So "how do you do, fellow kids?" is now an example of "how do you do, fellow kids?" November 7, 2025 at 9:28 AM

Meta observation on the aging of the 'how do you do, fellow kids?' meme
Overview
A screenshot of a Bluesky post by Bethany Elliott discussing the meta nature of the 'how do you do, fellow kids?' meme. The post explains that a mid-20s individual hadn't heard of the meme, making the meme itself an example of being outdated. Below the text is an image of a character (Irving Zisman from 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa') wearing a red cap and red hoodie, holding a skateboard over his shoulder, with the yellow caption 'HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS?'
Origin notes
The original 'how do you do, fellow kids?' meme originates from the 2013 film 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa,' where Johnny Knoxville's character Irving Zisman attempts to act cool with teenagers, resulting in the cringeworthy line. This image is a screenshot of a user-generated post on Bluesky (platform indicated by the '.bsky.social' handle) combining the classic meme image with a new meta observation about the meme's aging relevance.
