==Transcript==
(Jenkins is on his sofa browsing Reddit on his phone)
Jenkins: What in tarnation is an amogus? Kids these days. They'll never understand the two world wars we had to go through to get to this point. Also, who is this kind stranger people keep mentioning? I’d like to give him a piece of my mind!
(Jenkins turns off his phone and stands up)
Jenkins: I think that's enough phone for today. I'm gonna go get a drink. No, not alcohol. This is a kids show!
(Jenkins grabs a can of soda from the fridge and pours it into an old fashioned glass)
Jenkins: Ah, I love going back to the old days… when these stupid memes didn't exist. A simpler time…
(Jenkins ponders, and his eyes widen)
Jenkins: I just got an idea!
(Party poppers go off as Jenkins dances)
Jenkins: What if I act hip and trendy to get new friends? And more importantly… (whispering) Be able to talk to my grandson again. (he turns his phone back on) Onto the YouTubes!
(One meme session later…)
Jenkins: Wow, Behind the Meme sure is a great channel. The perfect source for the origins of memes. Too bad people seem to hate him though.
(More party poppers go off)
Jenkins: Wait a second. What if… I make my OWN meme? That's sure to get some people interested. (cracks knuckles) Time to get to work.
(Jenkins is then seen sitting on a desk with his laptop as he furiously surfs the web for meme ideas. These include Minecraft memes, Nyan cats, and even Family Guy funny moments)
Jenkins: That Quagmire guy is a real hoot! Maybe I should make a meme out of him!
(He does some more research to find out he's already a meme)
Jenkins: Dag nabbit, I thought I had something going here! Back to the drawing board…
(A montage of Jenkins doing more research and coming up with ideas for a new meme plays)
Jenkins: Pop break. (drinks soda slowly, and smacks his lips) Ah. Now then.
(The montage continues, and it ends with Jenkins finishing a meme on his laptop screen)
Jenkins: I DID IT! I MADE A MEME! “The toilet go plop”! It's both funny and relatable! Time to show this meme to the world. They’ll love it.
(Cut to outside)
Kid: What do you think I am, nine?
Jenkins: Then, uhh… how old are you?
Kid: I’m eight. Also, you’re such a boomer to show someone a meme in person.
(Jenkins deflates. Cut to Jenkins showing his meme to Old Man Walker)
Walker: Jenkins, I never thought I’d say this, but are you out of your mind? I can’t understand this at all! It’s too gen Z-ish!
Jenkins: You’d think that but this one feller who’s eight thought it stunk.
Walker: Maybe that’s a sign to go back to the drawin’ board.
Jenkins: Yeah, you’re right… I got it! “The toilet go poop!”
Walker: Now that’s more like it! The kids love poop!
Jenkins: That’s kinda concerning, but eh, I don’t really care.
(Bubble transition to Jenkins posting the meme on Facebook)
Jenkins: They’re sure to at least like it!
(Just then, his post gets a thumbs down)
Jenkins: WHAT?! This is mutiny! It has the perfect punchline! It’s relatable, has toilet humor, and simple. What am I missing?
(He then scrolls a bit on Facebook until he sees a deep fried dank meme about choccy milk)
Jenkins: What in fresh Poseidon is this? Is this what kids like these days? Well, I guess I’ll try it…
(69 funny minutes later…)
Jenkins: What have I just made? I hate it, but hopefully others like it.
(A shot of the meme is shown, and it’s a deep fried meme of laptops with anime faces)
Jenkins: It’s… probably perfect. I dunno, only one way to find out. (he presses enter on his laptop) Posted! Now to wait for the responses. What should I do while I wait?
(Just then, he gets a notification that someone has liked his meme)
Jenkins: IT WORKED! News flash, dank memes are the memes of the future! MLG 420, son! (he blows an airhorn)
Neighbor: Agh! Can you stop blowing that thing, for the love of Neptune!
Jenkins: (puts away airhorn) Oops, heheh.
(Bubble transition to the next day, where Jenkins is chilling out on the couch with his laptop with an Obey hat on his head)
Jenkins: Ah, another fine day for dank memes. Today I’m gonna make… a Dat Boi meme! That’s pretty dank.
(Jenkins posts the meme, and instantly gets a comment)
Jenkins: A comment! (clicks on it) “Jenkins, you know that meme’s 8 years old, right?” Drat! I’m already outdated! What are the latest dank memes?
(He types on his laptop for a bit, and then he creates a fresh new dank meme)
Jenkins: What the dog doing indeed, my dear friend. Posted!
(The meme Jenkins created is shown to be a clutter of What the dog doing, Wojaks, The Office memes, Among Us Steve, and Thanos)
Jenkins: My intelligence, it’s almost frightening. (clenches his fist like Thanos)
(He goes on his laptop again to see who liked his post, and sees that his grandson has liked it)
Jenkins: MY GRANDSON! He liked my meme! This is… (tears up) lovely!
(Just then, Jenkins gets a phone call from Walker)
Jenkins: Yellow.
Walker: Old Man Jenkins, what have you done?!
Jenkins: What do you mean what have I done? I won my grandson back!
Walker: You may have gotten a like from your grandson, but just take a look at yourself! You’re turning into one of those hip old guys! Everyone knows if you stay hip for too long your soul disappears!
Jenkins: That’s a load of baloney, Walker. They just say that so our generations stick with each other. Back in my day, segregation was legal.
Walker: Come on, nobody who makes a meme like that has a soul.
Jenkins: What do you mean? I still have a soul. (coughs, and a blue wisp of light escapes from his chest) Why do I feel so empty?
Walker: I’m telling ya, making them memes takes away yer soul!
Jenkins: Nah, it’s just a cough. Now if you excuse me, I need to reap more likes for personal satisfaction. (hangs up) Seriously though, why do I feel empty inside after that cough? Could it be? Nah, couldn’t be! My soul would never leave my old body!
(Meanwhile…)
Grim reaper: We’re gathered here today for the induction of a brand new soul: Old Man Jenkins’ soul!
(The other souls clap)
Jenkins’ soul: Wait, where am I?
Grim reaper: You’re in the underworld. This is where lost souls go. It seems like… (reads his book) Your owner made some stupid memes online. He was too hip to be hearty, as they say nowadays.
Jenkins’ soul: Nobody says that.
(Back in Jenkins’ home, he puts on the news)
News anchor: Breaking news: Two children killed in massive boat accident this morning!
Jenkins: (yawns) Who cares about some stupid kids anyway? They probably deserved it. (changes channels)
Female narrator: For just 52 cents a day, you can help these poor sea snails from their suffering. And just maybe… you can give them a home.
Jenkins: Home? The only place those snails should be going to is Davy Jones’ Locker!
(A few hours later…)
(Jenkins gets a phone call)
Jenkins: Yellow. Not that I care.
Jenkins’ grandson: Grandpa?
Jenkins: Son?
Jenkins’ grandson: Yeah, it’s me. Just wanted to say your memes are pretty dank, dude.
Jenkins: Cool, cool. So what do you want? Money? Because I ain’t got none.
Jenkins’ grandson: You’re acting weird. I just wanted to come over for a visit later today. See you in a few hours.
Jenkins: Whatever. Bye. (hangs up) Something feels off, but I don’t know what…
(He puts his hand over his heart to feel a cold breeze)
Jenkins: Do I really… have no soul anymore…?
(He has an epiphany)
Jenkins: I GOTTA GET MY SOUL BACK! But where would a soul even be? Down in the underground? Only one way to find out.
(Jenkins grabs a spoon from the kitchen and starts digging down outside)
Jenkins: Reminds me of Minecraft. (he feels another cold chill in his heart) Okay, no more memes. Only digging.
(He continues digging. Meanwhile, his soul is jogging around a track)
Grim reaper: C’mon, souls, run!
Jenkins’ soul: I… can’t… keep up… somebody save me…
Grim reaper: There’s no saving you, souls! Move it!
SpongeBuck’s soul: I never thought I’d say this, but I’m sad!
Grim reaper: Good! Now you’re feeling the burn!
(Just then, they all hear a giant thud as chunks of dirt start falling down into the underworld)
Grim reaper: What’s going on?!
(Jenkins’ head pops out from the opening)
Jenkins: Well I’ll be darned, I was actually right!
Jenkins’ soul: Jenkins!
Jenkins: My soul!
(Jenkins’ soul comes flying back into his body, and he stands up to cover the hole with a blanket)
Jenkins: There, it’s like nothing ever happened.
(He hears a knock on his front door, and he answers to see his grandson at the door)
Jenkins’ grandson: Yo, dude.
Jenkins: Hey there, grandsonny. Good to see you again.
Jenkins’ grandson: Yeah. Last time I was over you kinda broke my favorite game.
Jenkins: Yeah, uh, sorry about that.
Jenkins’ grandson: So are you able to show me some more of your dank memes?
Jenkins: Uhh… long story short, I can’t make hip and dank memes anymore. Otherwise I’d lose my soul again.
Jenkins’ grandson: Bummer, dude. I’m out.
(Jenkins’ grandson exits the house and rides home on his skateboard)
Jenkins: (sighs) One of these days… NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP- (closes his mouth) No. Bad mouth.
