My absolute favorite was an exchange where someone told a long rambling story, then there was a reply where someone said something like “man I thought this story was gonna turn out to be a shittymorph post.” Then there’s another reply where someone agrees and says “yeah I was just waiting for the part where he says the thing about how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.” and obviously THAT comment was left by shittymorph. Motherfucker just showed up out of nowhere and did the thing without even having to string you along with a story first.
The switcharoos were kinda awesome and the whole linking of them (I’m going in) was pretty fun back in the day. It’s a shame the owners fucked that platform up so thoroughly.
I think the only ones I kind of miss are the “you mean X, Y is” and the hell in a cell ones.
Shittymorph was so good, and just everywhere, you could never expect it.

Ah yes, beetlejuicing I believe was the term!
Yeah, I never really hated shittymorph or the various novelty accounts. It was more copycats who killed every joke.
The swamps of degobbah was a great read when it first came out too
Every now and then you’ll run into them. I partook in an x/y one a week or two ago

Yeah, those tended to build a sense of community across reddit in a fun way.
I’ve seen the former on lemmy occasionally
