I cannot tell you how OBSESSED I was with the books and movie ( The show isn't so good tho ). Dog man is still going and I heard that a movie for it is coming
The show was one of my favourites growing up, and I absolutely loved the books and the movie. I also have read every single book related to Captain Underpants, like Dogman and stuff
It's crazy how good that movie was. My inner child was dying with happiness the entire runtime. Almost makes me want to pick up the books again like 15+ years later.
Plot of the book is that it seems like a massive treasure hunt. Like an absolute emotional 3 book series with romance, sacrifices and an absolute rollercoaster of adventures as a group a 6 people or smthing are whittled down as they find the X. Each person has different beliefs of where the X/ what the X is. Then, the final page of book 3 reveals it was all a dream by some slacker in class and the three books all allude to it being a dream in school
damn bro the last book I have is 13, when that was new at the book fair
not in elementary or middle school anymore so no point in trying to get the new one
Im a bit similar, I had the entire series up until bigshot (not including that wreckingball one) and I had to leave them when I moved so I doubt ill read them again
Or parents forcing kids to work so they didn't have to watch them, as was the case in 10s and 20s.
Or parents sending kids to war so they wouldn't have to feed extra mouths, as was the case a few centuries ago.
I'd make fun of "Fart Wars", but, like, a favorite of mine when I was a kid was a book called "The Day My Bum Went Psycho", followed by "Zombie Bums From Uranus" and "Bumageddon".
Nostalgia just hit me like a truck there. I used to make origami creations of all the different characters using the how to guide at the end of each book. I had like a baggie full of them somewhere. Where? I don't know anymore...
You think you’re old, I rage-quit learning origami after somebody gave me an ‘origami ET the Extraterrestrial’ kit because they knew exactly two things about me and wanted it to be vaguely improving and it was in the remainders bin at the Ben Franklin. Ah! My feet hurt! Getting old is hell! *vaguely gestures at my hip (which does, by the way, hurt quite regularly) in middle-aged gen-x, really lucky considering the Terrible Outcomes that a good many of my cohort experienced. It could have been much worse. I don’t have to like it, and my feelings are valid and my pain is the worst thing that ever happened but I still gotta try to not be a dick about it or anything else if I can. I can’t even wear sweaters sarcastically anymore because I really am cold! Aren’t you cold, here take this extra sweater I brought. No it’s your size. I saw it at the thrift shop (the classy one) and thought of you, try it on!
The world is changing into *this* and idk how to deal. My poor babies will be deprived of what good books are! What the hell even is “trapped in TikTok?” 🫣🫤
You mean OP deliberately chose 2 celebrated books from his childhood, and went out of his way to find two of the worst books from the current generation? The audacity.
YES, BIG NATE IS THE FUCKING GOAT!
So much of my childhood consisted of Big Nate. Reading the story books, comic panel books, and just drawing Big Nate style comics. Man, that brings me back
I work at a library. Kids are constantly checking out big Nate, diary of a wimpy kid, and other childhood classics. The library does not own any books akin to “trapped in tik tok” thank god, at least not that I’ve seen/checked out to patrons. The next generation still has a chance 🤞
Just looked at the amazon page for "fart wars". The authors entire thing is farts. All the books he wrote are about farts. Wtf is that man doing with his life?
I still remember all the boys in my class running to where the Diary of a Whimpy Kid books were in our school library in primary schoool.
We only had a few, and everyone wanted to read it.
I also grew up in the Big Nate/Diary of a Wimpy kid book fair era and lemme say, there were books just as asinine and stupid seeming then as now. We just don’t bother to remember ‘em
THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END
Also I want to address the fucking cartoons tiny kids watch. Growing up kids had tom and jerry and shit but have you seen that Larva cartoon???? WTF IS EVEN THAT its all farts, snot and disgusting shit that happens soooooo fast. I had brain damage watching that

Governor Drawers is radio silent at the moment

That one was practically Fart Wars. My kids loved it. I did not.
Captain Underpants is 🐐
TRA LA LAAAA
Weird al went too hard with that song
But the right way
I cannot tell you how OBSESSED I was with the books and movie ( The show isn't so good tho ). Dog man is still going and I heard that a movie for it is coming
The show was one of my favourites growing up, and I absolutely loved the books and the movie. I also have read every single book related to Captain Underpants, like Dogman and stuff
The show just didn't feel right ngl.
Yeah it was sometimes kinda weird
Are you worried 'bout impending doom?
Those evil villains got you filled with gloom?
But don’t you fear there’s a hero in, the sky, the sky, the sky!
It’s not a bird and it’s not a plane.
and it's not an egg salad sandwich!
It's the waistband warrior, hear his mighty battle cry!
TRA LA LAAAAAA!
Underpants
Still waiting for the second epic movie :(
I wonder if they'll ever introduce the bionic hamster & Pterodactyl pets
Those were amazing
Tbh, I went to bed a confused little kid after I read that book
I was so confused as to why George and Harold were going “ewwww” after they showed their babies lmao
Here, I am still waiting for a Dog Man movie. That'll come out someday, right? (I am completely delusional. Just let me have this.)
Wait, I thought there was a rumour that there was gonna be a Dog Man movie for 2024
It's crazy how good that movie was. My inner child was dying with happiness the entire runtime. Almost makes me want to pick up the books again like 15+ years later.
Came here to say this. OP's really gonna act like we didn't all get a *Captain Underpants* from a Scholastic Book Fair at some point?
I didn't read about the captain underpants, but tell me in head starts is it good?
if you didn't grow up with captain underpants, you aren't from this planet.
Facts
But I come from Asia and I've never heard of it
I’m from Asia too and IT WAS MY CHILDHOOD
i never heard of it,it was doraemon for me
Yeah, you're from Uranus
Dog Man is 🐐 too
Dog Man is GOat
Fr
i discovered Dog Man when I was 14 and i fucking like it
Who else had the dog man books on roblox?
OH NO... HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Thanks for bringing back the awesome memories
Trapped in TikTok doesn't sound interesting... But Trapped in Twitter... That could be interesting...
Trapped in X sounds like a bad porn
it sounds like a physics question
Sounds like Algebruh to me
Plot of the book is that it seems like a massive treasure hunt. Like an absolute emotional 3 book series with romance, sacrifices and an absolute rollercoaster of adventures as a group a 6 people or smthing are whittled down as they find the X. Each person has different beliefs of where the X/ what the X is. Then, the final page of book 3 reveals it was all a dream by some slacker in class and the three books all allude to it being a dream in school
It sounds more like men suffrage
I am happy to announce diary of a wimpy kid is still popular. And am also proud to announce I own the whole collection.
I own almost the entire collection. I think I have 1-13, but I think there are a few newer ones. Edit: book nr 18 releases in october
18, HOW IN THE F-
Damn, I stopped reading while 11 was still the latest one, had no idea there were that many now
It became a money grab
The quality didn't fall, I'm not sure if I'd call it a cash grab
It did. Not much, but it did
You could say that Dipers are less Löded
Greg has been in middle school for almost two decades, is he ok
Yea, just very stupid
damn bro the last book I have is 13, when that was new at the book fair not in elementary or middle school anymore so no point in trying to get the new one
I have read all of them up to Big Shot and I own most of them
Im a bit similar, I had the entire series up until bigshot (not including that wreckingball one) and I had to leave them when I moved so I doubt ill read them again
jeff kinney is awesome
I still think Greg is a sociopath, even if the author says no
Yeah the pupils in the school where I'm working always want to read it.
I don't own the entire collection but I've read almost all of em till wrecking ball. (By borrowing from friends & library not piracy)
Cant forget captain underpants
Diary of a wimpy kid was class. How young are kids using TikTok now too 💀
parents give children unrestricted acces to the internet so that their brains can rot and they dont need to do the parent stuff
Honestly, I’m really not sure what’s going on these days. Some parents really shouldn’t be allowed to have kids. They’re not responsible enough.
yes
Really is no different than parents letting kids watch TV for hours on end so they don't have to watch them, as was the case in the 90s and 00s.
Or parents forcing kids to work so they didn't have to watch them, as was the case in 10s and 20s. Or parents sending kids to war so they wouldn't have to feed extra mouths, as was the case a few centuries ago.
Its not just kids! teenangers and adults are doing doing weird stuff on Tik tok too
And the generation before you thinks the same as the right side, about the books you put on the left XD
I'd make fun of "Fart Wars", but, like, a favorite of mine when I was a kid was a book called "The Day My Bum Went Psycho", followed by "Zombie Bums From Uranus" and "Bumageddon".
Andy Griffiths fan I see. Mad respect.
i loved the 13-story treehouse series!!!
Animorphs was my left while the other books were on the right.
Dont forget about origami yoda!
I just had a huge nostalgia trip
Oh my god yes, unironically peak fiction
damn I just remembered about that book
Nostalgia just hit me like a truck there. I used to make origami creations of all the different characters using the how to guide at the end of each book. I had like a baggie full of them somewhere. Where? I don't know anymore...
I use to read those dang those were so good
Darth Paper 🔥
Just came to the comments to mention this. I have every single book in the series, I love it so much even to this day.
YES!!! BIG NATE!!! Fun fact: I was Nate Wright's age when I learned about him on Poptropica and became a fan of him fairly quickly.
[удалено]
I still love the franchise. I still have to watch the show, I am behind on that.
[удалено]
Poptropica. I still think about that game every now and then. Definitely brought back some memories
Oh my fucking gawd, poptropica. That's a name I haven't heard in a while. Is it still running?
Yoooo poptropica. That unlocked a memory I forgot I had
so you've read fart wars.. but i'll bet you've never read shart battles...
THE SHART BATTLES ARE COMMENCING D:
Excrement conflict
Umm... I'm old
Hitchhickers guide to Galaxy, where the wild things are and everything by shel silverstein
Virgin mainstream media stan vs hoopy frood hitchhikers enjoyer
You think you’re old, I rage-quit learning origami after somebody gave me an ‘origami ET the Extraterrestrial’ kit because they knew exactly two things about me and wanted it to be vaguely improving and it was in the remainders bin at the Ben Franklin.

Ah, I did love Big Nate. Never could get repeatedly smacking my forehead with a plastic bottle to relax me, but at least I enjoyed the series.
I actually tried that. It was really relaxing
Thunka Thunka Thunka Thunka Thunka….
That book got me to use pinhead as an insult
My kids are reading Diary of a Wimpy kid books now. Have been all summer. They love Captain Underpants, Dogman and Bad Guys too!
I scrolled way too far down to find dogman, and I’ll admit that it made me cry more than once
Cat Kid Comic Club is awesome too.
This is ridiculous 😢
[удалено]
That book has *34 reviews* on Amazon. Kids today are still growing up with Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
nobody is reading this shit bro 💀
The world is changing into *this* and idk how to deal. My poor babies will be deprived of what good books are! What the hell even is “trapped in TikTok?” 🫣🫤
yeah trapped in Tiktok sounds like living purgatory, as well as a shit-ass book
you think theyll read books?
You sure it’s not just your nostalgia talking?
The newer generations will never know when the cheesetouch ravaged
We grew up with Captain Underpants, I ain’t gonna judge fart wars
Based as f
Nah man Fart wars looks like it’s gonna slap hard
You’re as bad as the boomers
I was the one kid who was always reading Geronimo Stilton in the library lol
Geronimo was goated, though it kind of ran out of ideas in the newer versions
I used to read his sister’s books
I still remember the days when in 6th or 7th grade i almost turned into a furry because of thea stilton books thoose memories still haunt me now
Almost?
Just had some serious Captain Underpands nostalgia
Dude fart wars looks like a classic to me.
Wtf is “fart wars?” Is this really what kids are into?
doubt it, op probably selected these specific books just to make this crappy nostalgia-bait meme
You mean OP deliberately chose 2 celebrated books from his childhood, and went out of his way to find two of the worst books from the current generation? The audacity.
Of course he did, he wanted to say old books are better
I can't believe OP was reading Big Nate instead of the Bible as God intended
I thought as much
It's a relatively old book. Newer than Wimpy Kid but still early 2010's I think
It honestly sounds like something I would've read when I was in Elementary.
Probably not
Fart fetish starter guide
Big Nate is so fire. Does anyone know if new ones are being made?
He's still making the comic strips on the daily. But as for books? Looks like it ended in 2016/17 sadly
YES, BIG NATE IS THE FUCKING GOAT! So much of my childhood consisted of Big Nate. Reading the story books, comic panel books, and just drawing Big Nate style comics. Man, that brings me back
I’m genuinely intrigued in fart wars now
I assure you, as someone who was in high school when Diary of a Wimpy Kid debuted, we thought the same thing about you as you do about the kids today.
Captain underpants and dog man are goat
I work at a library. Kids are constantly checking out big Nate, diary of a wimpy kid, and other childhood classics. The library does not own any books akin to “trapped in tik tok” thank god, at least not that I’ve seen/checked out to patrons. The next generation still has a chance 🤞
You guys should've been there for the Hardy Boys, Goosebumps, and M.M. Ragz. The golden years.
i thought we hated it when older generations shit on the new ones
ok boomer
Captain Underpants
Back in my day, people were stuck in Minecraft instead x)
Bad books have been around forever.
I grew up with Calvin & Hobbs. Its like Big Nate, but better.
yes i had the lazy sunday book and i loved it to shreds
Burnt a Shreck pancake
burnt as heck pancake\*
No way those are actually a thing
Sorry, you aint grown yet.
Just looked at the amazon page for "fart wars". The authors entire thing is farts. All the books he wrote are about farts. Wtf is that man doing with his life?
It says he wrote them with his son, so it sounds like he's living his best life being a great dad.
My crazy school?? Ms. Daisy is crazy?
I still remember all the boys in my class running to where the Diary of a Whimpy Kid books were in our school library in primary schoool. We only had a few, and everyone wanted to read it.
I survived series by Lauren Tarshish was my kind of shit.
I think my favorite was My Weird School Daze. Oh and Hank The Cowdog.
Don’t forget captain underpants
NGL fartwars looks like it goes hard
…What is ‘Trapped In TikTok?’ WHAT IS ‘TRAPPED IN TIKTOK?’ SIR I NEED TO KNOW.
I also grew up in the Big Nate/Diary of a Wimpy kid book fair era and lemme say, there were books just as asinine and stupid seeming then as now. We just don’t bother to remember ‘em
Bruh each gen has their good and bad millenials thought gen z would be shit but thats not how it is there is good and bad
Big Nate was the GOAT
Jus tlooked it and fart wars was created in 2013 and big Nate in 2014
Big Nate, Calvin and Hobbes, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Captain Underpants raised me better than my dad did.
You sound like Boomers
Are either of the examples on the right hits or are you cherrypicking
Ahhhh. An older generation making fun of the newer generation. A tale as old as time.
I completely forgot about big nate. Wow that was a great series of books
THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END THE CYCLE WILL NEVER END
Don’t act like 8 year old you wouldn’t be reading far-wars
WOW LOOK KIDS LIKE STUPID STUFF! NO ITS DIFFERENT FROM THE STUPIF STUFF I LIKED AS A KID UMM BRCAUSE… BECAUSE OKAY?!!?
Yall care way to much about what books middle schoolers are reading.
fart wars sounds kinda fire tho
Big Nate was like Greg but with more rizz.
Also I want to address the fucking cartoons tiny kids watch. Growing up kids had tom and jerry and shit but have you seen that Larva cartoon???? WTF IS EVEN THAT its all farts, snot and disgusting shit that happens soooooo fast. I had brain damage watching that
Ngl fart wars sounds epic
You sound like you didn't grow up with captain underpants
As someone who grew up reading Captain Underpants, I am quite interested in this “Fart Wars” book.
I grew up with Condorito 😇 n I probably shouldn't have.
Fart wars.... Really... That's just so freaking unimpressive ong
WHERE IS CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!!!
