Italian Brain Rot - comics by kids

Unbeknownst to me, I've been learning about Italian Brain Rot all this week. Here we see three examples of it from three different schools. And before you ask, no, I had no idea what it was, and having read about it I'm not sure I'm any the wiser.

Christchurch Lichfield was the first instance of this Brain Rot. It’s AI generated characters and nonsense that the kids watch on YouTube and Tiktok, with mock Italian lyrics and grotesque comic hybrids of animals and objects. With Crocodilo Bomberdini (or whatever) the kids have guessed the spelling and, inevitably, got it wrong. 


Hunnyhill Newport and Lanesend Cowes. The kids, as soon as these titles are read out (in the knockout process by which we choose the favourite), are in uproar and find nothing else as funny. The images I then draw come straight off the internet. For the record, I far prefer The War of Spigetige which was the result of a kid trying to spell spaghetti. 

Haylands Ryde and Gatten & Lake Shanklin. Our third bit of Italian Brain Rot, by which time I was getting used to it. The phenomenon only seems to have emerged earlier this year, which makes it a bit like pop hits were in our childhood. 

The celebrities these six groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Michael Jackson (three times!), Taylor Swift, Elvis Presley, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
