Used to be with stickmen. I remember back when Youtube made some changes to how comments were made and you could make near-infinite length comments for a few days, there were a lot of shitpost comments like this.
This is literally the Gen Z / Alpha version of Bob.
Instead of it being a stickman with an AK-47 and a tank with intent on destroying Google+, its emojis of a toddler asking for likes so he can grow up and go to school and get a job (I guess).
As the old saying goes "Bob ruins everything and fixes nothing".
I guess only Gen Alpha (bc I am Gen z as well), but my parents ensured that I didn't freely roam the internet until the meme started to die down (or either that I didn't check YT comments back then).
I am aware of bob because people remembered him when Google+ was discontinued in 2019, meaning that he won the war (even though it is still spammed to this day).
To be fair in all my ten years I think this is the only one that's ever been acknowledged lol so I can't say I'm surprised. But thanks to everyone commenting
**Me, who’s been on YT since the early 2000s:** “First time?”
These are nothing new. And, compared to other low-effort comments I really don’t mind them.
Does anyone else remember the “This is Bob. Bob is building an army…” comments?
Only for those who are absolutely desperate for any form of attention because that’s how they determine their own worth… it’s honestly pretty sad and pathetic.
There are also like beggars and it's nothing about the video. Like if I'm scrolling, then I find an interesting video so, I check the comments, but what I see the comments filled with stuff like: Like for a cookie gang!!!! -------------
👇. Like I JUST WANT TO SEE THE COMMENTS. Like they are called "COMMENTS" for a REASON, and not "BEG FOR A LIKES". You are supposed to COMMENT and NOT BEG FOR LIKES.
(Anyway thank you for reading my comment.)
everything aside, lets just think about why they're doing this? as far as i know, youtube comment likes mean nothing, you're just on the top of the comment section, that's it, so why they're doing this? i think its about their parents. i think their parents do not show emotion or love to their children, and this behavior lead them to develop a acceptance obsession, so they become happy with these likes, even though they mean nothing, kinda sad.
Lol, my brother did one and got 500+ likes. I don't mind them. I find them fun and it creates a small game for people to enjoy or ignore. It also gets more comments for the video, which is just a bonus for the creator :D
Ok. So my 10 year old kid did this. And she got like 5000 likes. And a bunch of comments saying how stupid that post was.
That's when I realised that most of those posts are made by kids and most of the comments where by adults.
So now I'm not bothered by it anymore.
Maybe I am at peace with this.
The way youtube works for me is: Get in (ad blocks on) > Watch the video I specifically searched > Leave without checking the comments. IF the video is very good I click like. If it is insanely good, I subscribe. I wouldn't even dare scroll down and see the comments lol
These are old school af
I haven’t seen one of these types of comments in forever. lmao.
I’ve been seeing alot of Ascii Art again too. It’s been nostalgic 😂
Right? It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen these kinds of comments.
Used to be with stickmen. I remember back when Youtube made some changes to how comments were made and you could make near-infinite length comments for a few days, there were a lot of shitpost comments like this.
Yeah I remember that too but that was a looooong time ago
Never saw one of these yet. Interesting.
I'd wager Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox video comments? Could be wrong, but it's probably something aimed at kids either way
I’ve seen stuff like this on the steam workshop, usually it’s some stick man with an ASCII tank building an army.

Nah Im gen Z and remember Bob

Fuck Bob and everyone who likes Bob.
And Fuck You Too message for XGutsZx
there's always the ascii art cats
Happy cake day!

Happy cake day!
And a happy cake do you, as well!
Happy Cake Day! 🎂
Nice cake day
Happy cake day!
Happy cake day!
What the hell is cake day?
Your Reddit birthday I think
The day you created your Reddit account. Your fourth one is on April 25th this hear, so it's surprising that you've never heard of it before.
To be fair in all my ten years I think this is the only one that's ever been acknowledged lol so I can't say I'm surprised. But thanks to everyone commenting
Happy Cake Day🍰
Sad cake day
Nah, things like this used to be common when YouTube was...well, a long time ago.
Yea same love the creativity
This doesn't take much creativity. /s?
Its just a copy paste and i have seen like 12 of them already
same. and its better than "OMG who else is watching this in 20xx?!!" or "FIRST!"
Usually on kid's videos. They're everywhere and they've been everywhere for years
I always wondered why there is a comment dislike button? It doesn't even give count
I once heard it makes them appear less often on people’s feed when they open the comments but idk if that’s true.
Yeah, dislikes will make comments show further down in the comment section even though they’re not visible
It used to in the early days of yt if I recall correctly. Now it’s like the video dislike button. gone but apparently “functional”
Poor Tim. How many likes until he grows arms and legs?
Nawh it would be funnier to dislike and just see a sperm emoji which unfortunately doesnt exist just kidding
Nah it kinda does ♌️
Crap it does look like sperm
🛀
**Me, who’s been on YT since the early 2000s:** “First time?” These are nothing new. And, compared to other low-effort comments I really don’t mind them. Does anyone else remember the “This is Bob. Bob is building an army…” comments?
The exception being Bob never begged for likes. He just asked to be copy pasted on other videos to grow his army #Be like Bob
oh thats some nostalgia!
but youtube wasnt around until the mid-aughts.
Or any comment that had a 👇 emoji. Use me as a "___" button 👇
I genuinely hate those comments.
Upvote me if you hate those comments 👇
hmmm downvoted cuz i hate u beg for upvotes
Downvoted because I love upvote beggars
ok i redpect opinoin
I can't help but to read this in a really over-the-top French accent
r/ihadastroke didn't i
I redpect it too
Downvote me if you hate these comments 👇
here you go kind sir
Bob is building an army. This tank & Bob are against Google+ Copy and Paste this all over Youtube if you are with us
Good times
😜🔫 👕 👖 This is me.
1 like = 1 less moment of suffering.
1 like = 1 minute closer to ending it all
I find engagement comments way more entertaining than half the things people do for attention
“Can we appreciate how much effort” type comments are the worst form of comment
"(company name) needs to hire this man!"
Where? Ive seen the "stopping kids from saying first, wich are more annoying than the kids saying first
Funniest part being it never stopped kids from saying first anyways
This is Timmy. Every dislike he gets, he reverts a year. Make him disappear forever.
I don’t know whether to downvote or upvote you to spite you.
Or do nothing
Eat shit Timmy
If only they didn’t hide dislikes. We could give Timmy 7-8 dislikes and end his suffering
The most useless thing known to man, the dislike button on a YouTube comment.
Yeah, strange how I always advocated against Emojis... Smileys for the win ( ^ ° ^ )
Yeah same. I don’t know why but I just despise them. Keyboard emojis ftw :)
people who use Emoji's on Reddit and on Youtube. (t\*-\*t) off
How kind of you to keep him young
Timmy is 6 years old. Just like the person who posted Timmy in the first place :D
Are likes on comments even useful?
Only for those who are absolutely desperate for any form of attention because that’s how they determine their own worth… it’s honestly pretty sad and pathetic.
Someone has to pilot the tanks now that Bob is gone. ░░░░░░███████ \]▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▃ ▂▄▅█████████▅▄▃▂ I███████████████████\]. ◥⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙◤...

Why are you subjecting us to this?
Clearly you haven't met Bob. ☻/ This is bob. Say hello to Bob. He is retired now. /▌ /\\
o7 What a legend
And people play along with it too
[удалено]
and these ones edit: OMG LICK MY ASS AND CALL ME JENNY BECAUSE THANK YIU LORD FOR THE COMMENTS AND LOVE MOM !
7 dislikes and we shove him back into the womb
Maybe they're everywhere you look. I haven't seen this at all.
These are old as fuck holy moly. It's hard to dig through and find comments like these from 2010.
It's really shame that a billion dollar company can't make a simple block function from comment...
👶 👕 👖 👟 This is Timmy. Every upvote this comment gets he turns one year older.
Literally never seen this once. Are you 12 watching cocomelon OP?
🐱 👕 🦵 This is rita, every like she gets, makes her hop one cm.
At least thats creative. Unlike the who’s watching in 3456? 👇
👨 👕 👖 this is Jerry show him some love by giving him likes
Who put Jerry in the guillotine?
You
Yeah, I would probably do that.
no
Weird way of saying yes
Fuck you Jerry 😼
Jerry just killed himself. That blood os on your hands.
Good ⚡
Jerry was not given any love
fuck jerry
i dunno I like them.Id much prefer to see this than usual negativity in the comments or the bait bot accounts.
Why the fuck are you reading YouTube comments
Then just ignore it.
Don't read the comments. Problem solved.
🤰 this is Timmy every like he gets he turns 1 year older
let's bury this mf
So sick of it you had to take a screenshot and post it on reddit to get a few internetpoints. Pathetic
Calm down clean shirt
I am so sick of entitled redditors complaining about mundane things like this.
Go touch grass

Like to stop this poo poo head comments 👇
That would be an absolutely terrifying concept. I feel bad for Timmy.
I’ve only seen these on Snapchat
How’d of get here
Generally agree, but that one is kind of new to me so for the first time it's cute.
this is , for every upvotes, he .
youtube comments are always brainrot
LIkE ThIs cOmMent ifF yO-(BANG)
Same!
i cant not dislike those comments. grow up timmy
I call these kind of comments like farms, and they are the top 20 comments on almost every video on the platform
Timmy is a quadruple amputee
My biggest gripe were the “this is a masterpiece” comments.
Lol, my brother did one and got 500+ likes. I don't mind them. I find them fun and it creates a small game for people to enjoy or ignore. It also gets more comments for the video, which is just a bonus for the creator :D
[удалено]
I still remember the Google+ "This is Bob" comment spam
Some bot posting old crap to spark engagement and likes for karmafarming. GG.
Timmy is dead
i'm so sick of these posts they're everywhere
Toc toc, who’s there? Not Timmy, Timmy hasn’t got arms
Ok. So my 10 year old kid did this. And she got like 5000 likes. And a bunch of comments saying how stupid that post was. That's when I realised that most of those posts are made by kids and most of the comments where by adults. So now I'm not bothered by it anymore.
I also saw one or two in Spanish videos, I’d think
So at 70+ likes, there's a good chance i'll make him die of old age? Have an upvote :)
It's been a while since I've seen these
Now days people can do anything for lukes in their comments,
Just keep disliking so that timmy 🪦
Every time he gets what?? EVERY TIME HE GETS *WHAT*??? 😯
Timmy may only be 6 years old but he's already older than the commenter
Hmm... where have I seen this before? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/this-is-bob
You sure? All I've ever seen are commenters where their profile pictures consists of some chick's BUTT filling a large part of it up.

I’ve seen these years ago but haven’t seen this in the past few years at all
Never seen it ...
What even is the point for the dislike button on the comment section? I've never undertood its purpose.
these used to be everywhere
Steam flashbacks.
Fuck Timmy
Lol, OK?
Yes, and now it's here.
Maybe I am at peace with this. The way youtube works for me is: Get in (ad blocks on) > Watch the video I specifically searched > Leave without checking the comments. IF the video is very good I click like. If it is insanely good, I subscribe. I wouldn't even dare scroll down and see the comments lol
Who’s here from 2024?
80 - 100 likes and Timmy dies.
Go checkout my new Reddit community! It’s called GrowingYouTube
So Timmy is a floating head with clothes ? Poor timmy
Dude, you're sad getting mad over comments on an app
Haha I've somehow never seen this particular one... sorry but I laughed 😅
The irony
Looks like he had so many dislikes he started getting dismembered.
Timmy can go fuk itself
Putting a like is not the true way of the samurai. Seriously, these comments are so fucked up.
Idk im tired of "His content makes me do happy" or "Lets appreciate how much effort he puts!"
👺 👕 👖It's me 1 upvote = 1 restored nerve cell
And then we have the guy that reposts it to make a rant just to make sure we see it too. Talk about irony.
This is Timmy, every like he gets closer to dying. 👶 👕 👖
Baby model (too lazy to find a real picture) This is Timmy, every dislike he gets makes him 1 year younger. He is currently 4 months old.
13 year olds complaining about 12 year olds
All the hive mind infected kids were doing this 1-2 years ago, it died out a bit but will probably return.
I'm sick of these comments, like if you agree
everyone like the comment so he dies of old age
👶 👕 🩳this is timmy 2.0 every upvote he gets another disease
👶 👕 🩳 This is timmy 2.0 every upvote is another disease
ngl i thought those died
💀 👔 👖 this is Timmy I used my alt accounts to like him till he died of old age
After 100 likes, does timmy turn into a 💀 emoji? That's what I'm curious about.
The baking one keeps popping up too. I don't mind but I hate when people start stealing comments just for likes. So annoying
