‘Netflix and Chill’ Phenomenon Unraveled: Netflix, Trojan make “Backdoor Deal”

DTF? More like, “Netflix and Chill”. This new code has become popular among college youth who want to communicate a willingness to do the ol’ nasty, but recent reports show a much darker side behind the new cultural meme.

Anonymous investigative reporters from The Freudian Slip have discovered that Netflix, the movie and television streaming website referenced in the phrase, has made $30 billion in profits in a deal with Trojan Brand Condoms that involved the creation of this trend. Trojan received only mundane orgasms and crabs.

Our reporters discovered that prior to the phrase’s explosion in popularity on social media in August, Netflix and Trojan had invested in a number of failed attempts throughout the year to popularize the meme, using celebrities and other cultural bridges to reach their customer demographic of horny college freshmen. Most notably, they paid Dick Van Dyke an estimated $1.2 million to tweet “Netflix and Chill?” The tweet got three Favorites and one Retweet.

After months of failed catalyzation, the trend seemingly took off on its own, to which the companies stated, “*Shrug?*”, but still claim credit.

When asked for further comment, Netflix and Trojan both refused, but The Slip guesses that the executives were Scrooge-McDucking in their newfound wealth while not wearing any pants.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
