List of Server Bits

Crycord, as time has gone on and the server has gotten older, has increasingly used more and more bits and in-jokes. These are often off-putting and nearly unexplainable to new users. They are used by both normal users, regulars, and comfy users alike, but extraordinarily so (and often created or popularized by) bitmen.

## Relating to the Server

These are bits that relate to the server. They could reference something said in either text or voice chat, an emote or autoreact, or a reference to a user's character.

### 2018

* On August 25th, 2018, the server owner, Ezra (then known as mouse) had allegedly been mistreating and neglecting the userbase for months. Thomas took this opportunity to conjure up a band of misfits and attempt to usurp power in the server. Ezra was unhappy with this and jailed the dissidents, causing memes about her being a fascist to be made. The members of the official Thomas Coup DM group consisted of:
	+ 5225225
	+ Andy
	+ Aster
	+ Earl
	+ Espen
	+ Jean
	+ Retro
	+ Scott
	+ Shady
	+ Within the same day, the coup was officially disbanded and Ezra was added to the group DM in a show of good faith, to see that the coup was not a serious attempt at overtaking the server.
* Pig on Poop Balls, also known in the server as "pig on shit picture," "balls on pig poop," and other comical misnamings is a bit that originated in Crycord during the holiday season of 2018. The premise of the bit is based on an image of a pig with massive testicles and the pig is taking a massive shit, right on its own nuts. The image was first posted and popularized by Thomas, but quickly scrutinized by administrators for being inappropriate. The image was posted intermittently throughout 2019, until around July others began to participate. The bit began to spiral out of control after Ezra mistakenly called the image "pig on shit picture" in a now-deleted post. Thomas responded to this in a now-famous post, saying:

### 2019

* The 72-hour VC was nearly completed in December 2019 by Sphaxy and Jesse. The premise of this bit is that both Sphaxy and Jesse would stay in VC without leaving for three days. Unfortunately, the two of them failed this daunting task when they left the VC to join a Jackbox groupchat.
* Server user Lohwen began posting frequently about coffee on 26 December 2019. This quickly prompted reactions ranging from amused to furious from other users as the frequency of her mentioning of coffee and how much of it she drank increased exponentially throughout the next couple of days. Almost immediately, "coffee" became a bit, usually being used on its own as a means of expressing "random" humor intended to irritate server members. Recognizing her potential as a bit-making machine, she began saying the phrase "goodnight lohwen" to herself on 30 December, continuing to repeatedly use the phrase through the following March. The bit is a favorite among comfy users and a particular favorite of Sphaxy's.

### 2020

* In mid-April 2020, Ezra set a temporary rule which only allowed posting every two hours in #main. Several people took to voice chat to discuss the event and while in the call together, Kyhlo observed the "ding" sound Discord makes when someone joins or leaves a voice channel and said "who just left or joined." The phrase has been repurposed by two people (Ezra and Retro) into "who just left or joined right now," and both variations are commonly said when someone joins a voice call.
	+ In a reference to his bastardization of the phrase, Retro later messaged several people asking them to say that "who just left or joined right now" was the correct version of the phrase, even attempting to bribe Thomas. This bribery was later posted in #meta-discussion to expose Retro's misuse of authority, but nobody noticed.
* On 23 April 2020, Jesse, Ezra, Kiera, and Charlie together attempted to surpass Jesse and Sphaxy's prior 72-hour VC attempt by an additional 24 hours for a 96-hour VC. Charlie vanished from the call before the 12:00 AM PST starting point on April 24th, leaving the other three participants to face this daunting goal alone. Kiera was involuntarily disconnected in the very early hours of April 24th, disqualifying her from the 96-hour achievement. Kyhlo and Kiera both joined again that evening to attempt the 72-hour milestone; Kiera was disconnected from the call again around 10:00 AM MST on 25 April. On 27 April, Ezra was removed from the call while actively speaking for reasons unknown and was disqualified. Kyhlo failed around this time as well. The 96-hour VC officially concluded at midnight PST on 28 April, with Jesse being the sole survivor, after which he would remain in the call for a few more hours to attempt an "infinite" VC. He disconnected later.

## Relating to Media

Sometimes members of the server will relate to each other through a shared piece of media (such as *Undertale*), or even watch a film or television series together. Because of this connection, especially if watching together, bits and jokes exist relating to these pieces of media.

### You Were Never Really Here

* On January 22, 2020, Thomas, Jesse, and Kyhlo watched the 2018 film *You Were Never Really Here* together in a voice call.
* Jesse had suggested watching the film. In the two days before watching it, Thomas read the novella it was based on. While they watched it, Thomas did a bit where he would occasionally note how close the events on the screen were to what was described in the book. Later, when reflecting on watching the film together, Thomas would jokingly suggest that Jesse recommended he read the novella, despite Jesse not having read it himself.
* Kyhlo mistakenly referred to the title of the film as "Wish You Were Here," which is the title of an album by Pink Floyd. The similarity in titles to *I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson* was then noticed by Jesse and Thomas, who began occasionally referring to the film as "You Were Never Really Here With Tim Robinson by Pink Floyd."

### Jackbox.tv

In the latter half of 2019, Jesse began frequently hosting Jackbox and Use Your Words games in the primary voice channel of the server, which quickly became hotly-demanded events often attended by the entirety of Comfy users. Particular favorite Jackbox games are Joke Boat, Patently Stupid, Trivia Murder Party 2, Fibbage: Enough About You, Quiplash XL, Bidiots, Role Models, and most notoriously, Push The Button.

#### Joke Boat

* Joke Boat is frequently played by the members of the server, but the first time notable bitman Thomas joined a game was on December 5, 2019. This game spawned three bits: "I miss you, honey," "I'm Thomas," and "37.2."
	+ During his first round, Thomas responded to the prompt "Marriage is a lot like DOGS:" ("dogs" being user-submitted) by saying "They both leave us much too soon. I miss you, honey." The phrase "I miss you, honey," has since become a bit, both in Jackbox and on the server itself.
	+ The game Joke Boat, in the context of Crycord users playing it, is frequently criticized for the laziness of the suggestions. It is assumed by non-bitmen users that saying "Jesse," "Thomas," "cum," or something else to this effect will immediately result in a winning round; this is, more often than not, the case. In Thomas's second round of joke boat, he was faced with one of these choices - one of the prompts he could choose to answer was "My family is like THOMAS:" ("Thomas" being user-submitted). He answered this prompt by saying "I'm Thomas." This has since become a bit utilized by both Thomas and non-Thomas users.
	+ One of the prompts in Joke Boat is "How many [plural noun] does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to screw it in and two to," leaving the ending off for the user to finish. A user who was not active and has now left the server, who went by beer, apparently did not finish reading, or misunderstood, the prompt. His answer, instead of saying what the two [plural noun] did, was simply the number 37.2. This mistake immediately garnered laughs and won him the round.

#### Meta Bits

* During a Jackbox game in early 2020, Kyhlo was unbelievably intoxicated and appeared to have a great deal of trouble in joining the game. Jesse, noting this, asked him to "go to jackbox.tv and enter the four-letter code," after which he had to spell out the code as if spelling something out over a low-quality phone call, using language such as "B as in Boy." This became a common bit when beginning a Jackbox game.
* Towards the beginning of the first series of frequent Jackbox sessions, Sphaxy began frequently asking Jesse which game was being played. Jesse would always respond with answers such as "this is Patently Stupid from Jackbox Party Pack 5." More users continued to ask him this same question in an attempt to get the bit out of him.

#### Push The Button

* Push The Button is a Mafia-style game in Jackbox Party Pack 6 in which users work cooperatively to secure victory over an opposing team. Players are divided into two groups, humans and aliens, and individually told their status by the game without any other user knowing which team they're actually on, with humans always being the majority and aliens being allocated to the game proportional to the number of human players. Winning the game for one's team requires a great deal of psychological manipulation, skillful performance in various tests, and for aliens, the usage of a hacking ability. Players are put on a timer with less than 20 minutes to complete the game, and every turn, a player is appointed the captain, after which they choose a testing chamber and test multiple players on subjects ranging from drawing to giving their opinion. Aliens are given a different prompt, but can hack themselves and other users to show the human prompts or give humans the alien prompt, respectively. The most suspicious responses are remembered by players and the game culminates in pushing a button that allows the crew to vote to kick the suspected aliens off the ship. If all players kicked off the ship are aliens, the humans win, and if a single human is kicked off the ship, the aliens win.
* Push The Button is notable on Crycord for its difficulty and, most infamously, its ability to thoroughly enrage its up to ten players and cause bickering and arguments.
* Charlie seems to get the role of alien more frequently than any other user, and has since been associated with the bit "Charlie is the alien." Games of Push The Button are often started with the assumption that she is one of the aliens, while other players are assumed human until proven otherwise.
* Ezra particularly dislikes this game and rarely plays it, even after playing several other Jackbox games with server users in succession. When Push The Button loads, she often regards this as an opportunity to do something completely unrelated.
* While playing Push The Button, Retro seems to enjoy asking the captain of a given round, "Can I draw?"

### Use Your Words

Use Your Words, a game separate from Jackbox, is simultaneously loved and maligned by server members. Some infamous bits have been borne from sessions of this game. It is divided into four distinct sections over the course of one game, with two rounds each of the first three sections. These are "Sub the title," where players are asked to add subtitles to scenes from obscure bad movies; "Extra! Extra!," where players add humorous captions to random photographs as if in a newspaper; "Blank-O-Matic," an ad-lib type of game where players must fill in a given sentence; and "Survey Says," a Family Feud-style final round where players write responses to three different prompts.

* Similar to the "go to Jackbox.tv and type in the four-letter code" meta-bit, Use Your Words has its own similar bit in the same format, usually spoken as "go to wordsgame.lol and type in the four-letter code."
* During one particular session, Charlie famously uttered the phrase "thank god I'm not dead fucking last" at the end of a round where the rankings were shown. Notably, she was in last place. This bit has since evolved from its original usage in Use Your Words games to have a presence in every online game played by server members when rankings are shown for a session.
* Prior to a another game of Use Your Words, Ezra and Sphaxy annoyed everyone in the call when they initiated a bit pretending that computers needed to be asked for consent before being used, including being turned on and having wordsgame.lol typed in the address bar of the browser. Ezra continued the annoying bit by pretending to misunderstand the URL of the Use Yours Words website and acted as though she'd heard "worlds game dot lol." The bit resulted in the question "did you ask it for consent?" being posted whenever a server member mentions using their computer.
* The "Sub The Title" rounds are considered especially good by server members and often produce results that are more humorous than in other rounds. One instance of this round in the early hours of December 29th, 2019 included a clip of a man saying "let me tell you about this dolphin" and pointing towards a tank containing a dolphin swimming around in circles, with the players meant to fill in their subtitles while the dolphin was on camera. A participant wrote,

* + - This spawned the bit "lemme tell you about this dolphin." It's not very prevalent in the server, but it is appreciated when brought up.

## Relating to TikToks

Since around September 2019, references to TikTok have become more prevalent in the server. The user Thomas began using TikTok frequently around this time, often posting videos he enjoyed in the server.

### Origins

The user Thomas popularized the posting and discussion of TikTok videos. He joined the app on August 6, 2019. The first TikTok he linked to in the server, on September 25, 2019, was by the TikTok user "zi\_coffee\_lover," also known as "Karl the freak." The video shows a woman in a bikini dancing to a song; in the top left corner, a picture-in-picture closeup of Karl is shown, in which he says "Wow, you are a beautiful, gorgeous woman, and I love that outfit on you."

After this, Thomas began sending TikToks to fellow bitman Jesse both in the server and in their direct messages.

### Travisboy378

* In late 2019, Thomas and Jesse became enamored with TikTok user "Travisboy378," a young man who frequently shares very strange content, primarily concerning the video games Apex Legends and Fortnite, as well as poor attempts at dancing to popular music.
* The first Travisboy378 video that was posted in the server has since been deleted. The caption was "gamers are nice people just want to point that out" and it was posted on September 28, 2019.
* The undisputed favorite Travisboy378 TikTok of the server is one posted on November 7th, 2019. In it, Travis, positioned at a strange angle relative to the camera, and with many long, unnecessary pauses, asks the viewer if they would eat marshmallow fudge if it existed. This has become a favorite bit of Thomas and Jesse, and a user quoting it will be vilified extensively by the Bitmen if they do not quote the video with 100% accuracy. The transcription follows:

### Other notable TikTok bits

* On December 20, 2019, a TikTok video was posted by a user named "gammemartin." The video opens on a shot of The New American Bible, and then the person making the video yells out for his friend Josh. Gammemartin then enters a room and turns on the light, where an older man is sitting on the edge of a bed. Gammemartin then proclaims "Merry Christmas!" multiple times as the man assumed to be Josh asks that photos of him not be taken.
	+ This video was not popular on TikTok. It was promoted onto Thomas's "For You Page" on TikTok, an algorithmically-curated selection of random videos., around the time it was posted. He sent the video to Jesse that same day, but it was promptly forgotten. It was not rediscovered until January 13, 2020, when his partner Moth was over for a visit and they were watching TikTok videos together. The two were immediately stricken with the strangeness of the video, and it was reshared to Jesse soon afterward. Following the rediscovery, it grew in reputation as an amazing TikTok, and was used as a "rite of passage" as the first video Thomas would send users of the server when they created a TikTok account.
	+ On March 3, 2020, as part of this "rite of passage," Thomas sent the video to Aster. Aster "liked" the video on TikTok, and the user "gammemartin" took notice, taking the video down less than a minute later.

* In early April 2020, Ezra stumbled upon a TikTok which they became enamored with in a Stockholm Syndrome sort of way. The TikTok was posted by a user named "wholesam" and features a young man laying on his bed in a drawstring bucket hat and sneakers. The TikTok is transcribed in it's entirety below.

Ezra sent the TikTok to many users on the server and some began responding to criticism or joke-bullying with "get the whip, daddy's angry." The bit was later transformed when Ezra added additional content about posting a wholesome Keanu chungus on Reddit and getting Reddit Gold from a kind stranger.
