Documentaries
- John PorkA man's body, a pig's head, and a ringing phone. "John Pork" was an AI-generated Instagram character who, in early 2023, became one of the internet's strangest viral sensations through the "John Pork is calling" format — a fake incoming-call screen you were dared to answer. From there the meme grew a whole brainrot mythology: his on-screen "death," the "Free John Pork" mourning, the Tim Cheese / Simon Claw extended universe, and the endless 2025 revivals. This is the complete lore of the pig who calls.
- LARPA single word, two worlds. "LARP" began as live-action role-play — grown adults in foam armour swinging boffer swords on a Saturday field, the wargaming and Dungeons-&-Dragons roots, Dagorhir and the SCA, Vampire: The Masquerade, Nordic larp and "bleed," the blockbuster destination larps. Then the internet took the word and flipped it: to "larp" is to pretend to be something you’re not — the fake operator, the crypto genius, the trad cosplayer. And in its final form, larping became the joke itself: a whole generation mocking flex, hustle, "old money" and sigma-grindset culture by overdoing it so hard the flex collapses into satire.
- Boneless Pizza"Yeah, let me get uhhh… a boneless pizza." From Sethical's "Baku" animation series came one of the internet's purest pieces of nonsense: a man calling a pizzeria to order a pizza without bones, and the worker losing his mind explaining that pizza never had bones. The bit exploded into SFM remakes, remixes, YouTube Poops, talkloids and reaction videos — and it rhymed with a real-world absurdity, the campaign to rename "boneless wings" that reached a city council and even the Ohio Supreme Court. This is the full lore of the boneless pizza.
- CortisolHow a stress hormone became the internet’s favourite villain. In 2024–25, "cortisol" took over wellness TikTok — "cortisol face", "cortisol belly", endless "lower your cortisol" routines, the viral cortisol cocktail, the brands cashing in and the doctors debunking it all. The full trend, from origin to backlash.
- Moo DengThe story of Moo Deng — the baby pygmy hippo born at Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo in July 2024 who bounced her way to global internet superstardom: the memes, the SNL sketch, the election pick, the backlash, and her first birthday.
- Kimye WeddingKim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding — from the stadium proposal on Kim's 33rd birthday and the Vogue cover that broke the internet, through the pre-wedding week at the Palace of Versailles, to the ceremony above Florence at the Forte di Belvedere on 24 May 2014. The most-covered celebrity wedding of its era.
- Famous Internet AnimalsThe pantheon of viral animal celebrities — from Keyboard Cat and Grumpy Cat to Doge, Harambe and Moo Deng. The cats, the dogs, the wildlife icons, the animal influencers, and the ones we lost.
- Oliver TreeOliver Tree Nickell (1993–2026): the Santa Cruz kid who turned a competitive-scooter career and a bowl cut into one of the internet age’s strangest pop careers — four albums, the Turbo persona, a Guinness-record giant scooter, a running "I quit music" bit, and a wall of absurdist meme-marketing. From "Alien Boy" to "Deep End", the stunts and the songs, ending with his death in the June 2026 Rio de Janeiro helicopter collision.
- Scientology Speedrun
- MEEpThe story of MEEP — the calico cat @calicocattimi (Timi) whose little "meep" went from a few hundred views to 58 million and a global TikTok sound trend.
- Scientology SpeedrunIn 2024 the internet turned the Church of Scientology into a video game. The "Scientology speedrun": run through the front doors of an org and get as deep inside as you can — past the front desk, down the corridor, toward the auditing rooms — before staff stop you, then post the clip timed like a speedrun. It bred world-record "deepest runs," a meme economy of compilations, a wave of news warnings, commentary from every big reaction channel, and a real backlash when the "raids" turned reckless and teens got arrested. This is the full run.
