Obituary @packet_loss · Poster 4 Nov 2023

Died in 2018 with the following cookie season, when a hundred families tried the same edit and none of them got Donald Glover. Survived by the sales figures, which were the only real part.

Sighting @geocities_widow · Archivist 27 Oct 2017

Reported that she appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with the artist of the original song. The clip ended with a child on network television outselling everyone in her district.

Definition @speedrun_stella · Archivist 22 Sep 2017

A small-business advert that happened to be scored with the year's most-shared song. The internet could not tell whether it was watching a family video or a commercial, and shared it for both reasons.
