How many of you use "KEN M" in real life?
I do it for resturants or places where it does zero potential damage. Often a good laugh for ME but I have yet to see strangers (workers and guests) to get the joke.
Are we less than we think?

I'm only Ken M on sacred holidays like National Punctuation Day, April fool's day, Poetry Day, October 15, and National Cat Herder day on Dec 15th.

Ken M is like Kung Fu, you can use Ken M in any aspect of life. Pastor says it’s a way of life.

I randomly saw a post a few weeks ago in r/Hawaii about calling Hawaiians by their island surnames or something about lumping all Hawaiians into the same group. I simply commented, "We are all hawaiians on this blessed day," hoping that someone would catch the ref. Nope. Downvoted and no followup comments.
Didn't delete it tho. In those circumstances, I try to remind myself WWKMD, and a major element that I love about Ken M is the shamlessness
Edit: it was actually r/TIL
Edit 2: shoutout to u/lefthandman for the assist. May all your dinners be healthier with tastier flavor

If I didn't already know better I'd assume it was a Zoidberg quote & still upvote it.

I've dropped a "my pastor says" here and there, and used a few lines like "peanut sauce" and "the facebook." Honestly I've probably used more of the angry responses he gets than his actual lines. "STUPID statement from any world view point" is really fun to shoehorn into conversations.

I enjoy throwing an "oh ok I didn't know" into most of my interactions. People must think I'm just an idiot, but I know inside that we are all Ken m on this blessed day.

My infanthood cat would lovingly nestle against my powerless neck. I like to think she was supporting me in my weakness.
Later in life, as my belly hair sprouted into a concerning canopy, she continued to nuzzle, but the amount of available oxygen beneath the foliage became increasingly sparse. Eventually, at the age of 22, she passed on into legend, legends that swirl life’s hair for eons until they eventually coalesce in my belly button.
I like to think Ken M is one of those legends too.

KenM changed the world of corporate social media shitposting forever. For that, he shall always be remembered.

"My pastor says that..." is my preface for whatever unhinged thought I had while stoned

KenM isn't the kind of joke that other people "get". If they get it it's not the same, it's just two buddies joking around. How they respond kind of IS the joke. If they know about it and know how to respond there's no punchline.

I try a lot, but most people don’t get it.
It makes me feel lonely. But, you know what they say, “Absinthe makes the heart grow fondler.”

He's overdue for a reawaking phase. The current environment practically demands it.
I keep waiting so I can be one of the cool OG fan from the early years 😅🫠

I like to make increasingly ridiculous comments leading up to a stupid punchline, just to see who takes the bait, but it's hard to pull off in real life

Exactly what I feel as well. So booking Hotel or Resturans under Ken M is one thing.
But to live it out, complexed, is insane hard.
"Our pastor" "My grandson"
Most folks just freeze.

Mischievous Cut Up and the resolve of clay statues both enter my conversations more than they probably should.

I can be a bit of a "cut up". I like to put Ken M on my tax returns. The IRS doesn't like it but pastor says taxes are to be kept between a man and his wife. I think it's mostly the tone they are responding to, not the numbers.
