Memes Throughout the ages episode 294: Polyester Edits

The episode of "Memes Throughout the Ages" features hosts RemTGM, BCA, and SuperMegaMan10 discussing the "polyester edit" meme trend. They describe it as video edits with rapid scene flashes and terrible music, named for polyester's poor quality. They trace its origins to early examples like an Iron Man edit from October 2025 and a Spider-Man edit from November 2025, with the term gaining popularity in July 2026 through parody videos. The hosts share personal stories about polyester clothing, including one host's disappointing purchase of a 100% polyester shirt, which he plans to return. They also joke about Low Tier God (Dale), calling him the "polyester jester" and mocking his merchandise. The episode includes interactive segments: "Meme Games" where they guess meme origins, and "Criticism Castle" where they read reviews. They remind listeners to submit questions for episode 300 and vote on games. Finally, they discuss Fortnite updates, including new sprites, a Lil Tecca festival season, and leaked plans for a video game Legends-themed season with characters like Eggman and Mega Man. The episode blends humor, meme analysis, and gaming news in a casual, conversational style.

Hello, my name is RemTGM, and I'm BCA, and I'm SuperMegaMan10, and welcome to Memes Throughout the Ages. You know what we also didn't get, you know what we didn't get though, we didn't get the episode out on Saturday morning, and now, the last two episodes have been Sunday morning instead of Saturday morning, the reason for that is, that's not the schedule now, the reason we weren't able to do it last week is because the editor wasn't working, and it was already like 2.30 in the morning, and I was not dealing with that, so, I delayed it. Oh, you meant you weren't working, you said editor. Oh, yeah, I wasn't working, sorry guys. Anyway, besides that, episode 300 is coming up soon, so, leave us questions in the reviews or comments section, or in the Discord server, first link in the description below, for questions that you have for us that you would like us to answer for episode 300. Anyways, let's get into the memes, so, BCA, what is our meme for today? Our meme for today is polyester edit. That's right. So, you may have seen this before, you may not recognize it just by the name itself, but the polyester edits are something that have started to show up very recently, not like, they're not new by any means, I've been seeing them for a long time now, but the joke about them has started quite recently. So, what a polyester edit is, is usually an edit of a movie or TV show or game, sometimes games, usually just movies and TV shows, where it will take the character from the movie and it will, like, I don't know, how do you describe it? It, like, it focuses on the character and the scene that the character's in, but then they'll have, like, a bunch of different scenes flashed. Flash on the screen, um, and then they'll have, like, the most abhorrent music you have ever heard over it. So, like, although, it is, you, you two, what do you think about this? Do you think it's impressive, the editing? I, like, I don't know what it takes to do that, I don't know. Not really, it's just, like, slowing down the clip and, like, putting the, uh, they're just, like, making stuff green screenable and then putting, like, tons of clips that take, like, I don't know, like, half a second up on screen and it's, like, not even different scenes every time. They usually just, like, repeat the same vibe. It's just kind of, like, probably just, like. Why are you saying, yeah, you haven't seen this? I have! Only just a little bit of it, but I have seen it. Sorry. Yeah, you better apologize. I know if this is the one, if, uh, you've seen this or not. It's, like, I've seen it, like, a couple of times. The Spider-Man one or other ones? Spider-Man. The hell? Yeah, it's, like, it's all, like, a tiny bit of it, but then I kind of. Yeah, this is the one that got, that coined the term polyester in it. Um, now, so, so, yeah, making this stuff is just kind of, like, annoying. I'd assume it's probably not that hard based off what BCA just described. Edits are, like, hard, but, like, these are just kind of, they feel uninspired and, like what Rem said, the music choice is just abhorrent. It's, it's horrible. Imagine we tried making one for TTA. Polyester. Yeah. Yeah, let's do that. And a photo of, like, each of us, and it's, like, all the episodes that we, like, we picked. I need to learn how to do a light motion so I can make, like, horrible wobbly edits of us. Yeah, you should do that. Invincible wobbly animation. Um. Elder millennial. Shut up. Um, so, the polyester, the polyester edit that a lot of people. Uh, talk about is the Spider-Man, uh, the Amazing Spider-Man edit, uh, polyest, polyester edit. And the reason why people call them polyester edits is because, uh, the quality is horrible. Just like polyester. Um, that's, okay, I swear to God, I'm sorry. I keep getting, like, ads that are just, like, unbelievable, like, unbelievably horrible to try and skip past. Oh, no, you're mean. You're mean? Yeah. Like, what are you getting? I'm getting ads for Ted Lasso, but it's, like, it's, like, glitching out my script. Like, it's, you know, like, the It's Me? Yeah. It's, like, what's happening, and it's just Ted Lasso. Dude, speaking of FNAF, I was playing, um, FNAF 1 on my DS yesterday. And, uh, I got jump-scared by Foxy on night one. How? I don't know. It's a remake of FNAF. It's not official at all, so maybe it's why I needed it. Oh, really? Really? Because if that stuff's gonna happen, then I'm not gonna be playing it. It's odd. It's kinda oddball. Anyway. Ooh, niche. Anyway. Uh, yeah, a lot of people, when they started to joke about these polyester edits, again, the polyester part comes from the horrendous quality. Of the edit, just like polyester, the material, which is horrible. Which I'm not, like, totally- Too much of polyester. Stuff that's, like, 100% polyester just feels horrible. It does. Is this polyester? Is that? Uh, I don't think so. I think that might be another kind of- Wait, wait, wait, look up white polyester shorts. Stuff that's- Brother? Okay. Yeah. Find my exact pair of polyester shorts. Polyester shorts, really. White polyester shorts. Wait. Nope. I, I, these are not yours. Wait. Did you get them? Are these your shorts? No, it's not your shorts. No. It might be polyester. Polyester isn't bad. It's, it's when there's too much of it. Yeah. So, like, mixing materials with polyester, like, that's fine. But if it's 100% polyester, that's fine. That's horrible. That's all those, like, TikTok shop AI Minecraft shirts. Yeah. That, like, are meant for children. Which, by the way, I don't know. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, BCA. Um, when I was at Universal, uh, earlier this year, um, I saw multiple families with, like, these 100% polyester AI shirts, and it was just, like, it was horrible to look at. Okay, this is gonna sound bad. I took a video. I took a video of this kid, and he was wearing, like, AI Minecraft. Like, I need to find this. Hold on. Uh, hold on. I, I took a video of the kid for a reason, okay? I found it. Yeah, we were waiting on the bus, and when we were at the station, we saw this kid in, like, a full-on outfit of, like. Oh, my. It looks like Tom. He looks like Terraria. It looks like the old Terraria, like, TV show. Hold on, look. The old TV show for Terraria? Yeah, it was really bad. That's why I didn't get a lot of them. Yeah, I got, like, nothing. Here, Rem, I'm sending it to you right now. All right. Are you putting it in the chat, or, uh? I'll put it in the meme team thing. Okay. Sorry, that, that was, like, completely off topic. No, no, it's polyester. I just, like, completely forgot to send it to you. Well, I wasn't completely off topic. I just, like. Yeah, 'cause we're talking about, like, wearing AI stuff. I, I just need, like, your live reaction to the fit this kid was wearing. Like, please. All right. Hold on. Okay. Already. Okay, let's see here. Um. He rounds the corner. He, he got out of sight. Okay. So, there's, like, there's. There's, like, a lot going on. Okay. polyester edits yeah see if all these people subhuman yeah they're actually um they're sub threes only sub threes wear polyester um maybe some actually i think the sonic hero shirt ram you got me is like heavily polyester is it i i can't tell i think it's just like a heavier fabric but like isn't i thought polyester is very tiny it feels like it's very thin it's not like oh okay yeah never mind never mind oh okay then i think the shirt i got from sega is like 90 percent polyester i i bought they were advertising these like 35th anniversary uh ones and i got one of ruse the bat and it

of those shirt like uv shirts for at like the beach or swimming you know like the i don't they feel like they feel like clothes yeah they feel like swimming clothes that like they they just have like the certain feel to it that's the type of feel that polyester is kind of but it's not like to your like you know advantage with like swimming clothes and stuff it's it just feels bad yeah it's just it's i'm sure swimming clothes feels like that for a reason maybe it's to like get water out or something but like i think it feels bad i think uh like the shirts i think they're made to like deflect sun like sunlight so you're not you don't like get burned um the shorts are probably just you know that to be waterproof and stuff the shorts are a lot less uncomfortable yeah they are um anyway yeah polyester edits um so um the polyester edit uh i will play the audio to that now i don't remember if there's audio like there's there's lines to it at all from the scenes or if it's just no it's it's

you could eat youtube it's a youtube thumbnail oh my god you're right okay well then you're you should have okay no put me in the game okay hold on both of you are wrong because you should have told me that i was wrong once i said tiktok because i said that the the meme came from tiktok which would have been wrong because the meme comes from youtube which is why i said maybe you're not understanding me correctly i i wanted to know but i did understand you correctly and i got it wrong oh okay well you want to move on what else are we supposed to do i got it wrong i'm gonna have you go again okay well you know oh yeah yeah i'll go again sure junior put me in the game when you search memes twitter slash x shows up if you have yeah get some that's embarrassing get some dank way epic poggers from uh from elon yeah i love elon so much hey bro now this bud's for you it's so funny you're non-binary the new norm made the same as the old norm i love how they like completely gave up after the first episode and just like made sloth i think they lost their animators from i wouldn't be surprised um could you imagine being the creator of norm like norm is your oc that's kind of crazy norm is someone's oc wish he was my oc i'm gonna make like a like a you know like an under like undertale a use i'm gonna make one of uh of norm call him the uh under under call him the old norm yeah call him the uh old norm x uh-huh ooh dude what if what if lord x didn't take an interest in sonic and instead took an interest in the in the in the new norm and he became norm x oh because he's on x he's on he would be on x oh my god so he would be he would be he would be old norm minus x because it's like like evil you know evil autism you know i have evil autism but i molest my parents oh i have evil autism but i molest my parents it's not even funny yeah that's horrible it's really bad god we hate birdie here so i'm trying to find yeah birdie can you kill yourself yeah actually do that birdie's mentally ill too my god i got it i got it i got it yeah what's up um i what scanning my device for files and it's over hold on um okay so so how this game works is it where the thing came from or where yeah okay so here's the thing you were right it's the actual it's where the meme came from so the meme became not where it became a joke uh i mean i get that one's kind of a like a more vague one because that's technically it's supposed to be when it originally okay okay okay so all right so i got it i got it okay rem where does i drink soda i eat pizza come from i drink soda i eat pizza that would be oh this is a hard one actually okay let's see truly drink soda and eat pizza i'm leaning more towards youtube shorts because i feel like this is something that would have been taken from there and got made into like a like a thing on tick but it could be ticked i'm gonna go youtube shorts not youtube shorts but it is youtube so i'll give you it oh thank you the original clip was posted to youtube it's just it's so short and it's firm it's uh filmed vertically not yeah vertically so it's actually a longer clip it just got taken and uh put vertically i see all right megaman so rem gets a point uh all right let's see here a pronoun this buds for you yeah is there a new norm wiki yeah probably uh there's a wikipedia page for it what oh that would be way too easy too easy too easy to read my mama said you all right the new norm fan and wiki and if nobody loved me i'm gonna love me oh wow this isn't an on fandom like an actually me okay let's see it's hard because like a lot of these come from tick-tock so i need to like hold on i'm the old norm i want normal beer yeah the the non-binary uh non-binary person's name is chas oh oh wait yeah i remember that okay this is a good one megaman yes where does sanic come from that's tough what if there's a hispanic sanic and he was called his sanic write that down okay was this originally from facebook not even close no no no this wasn't that advanced okay then where did it originate it's actually from a youtube video from march 31st 2010 titled how to draw sanic the hedge hedge hedgehog oh yeah really interesting oh see that's a reference do you get that reference uh no um you really that's that's an old like smg4 sound effect yeah i'm sorry i don't remember one of the 500 smg sound effects i'm so

and welcome back to criticism castle the point the show where we read reviews from you guys all the way down under in the review section below rem tgm what are our reviews for today all right so as always we're gonna read three reviews one from apple podcast one from spotify and one from the discord server again remember to join the discord server if you are not already in it what are you doing um and as always we're going to start with apple podcast so we have a and a and b that's it yeah b uh yeah sure b all right this review is titled pretty good thumbs up emoji and it into it entails a dot just like a like a period and this review is by maybe good pods so we got it we're we that's like a professional review right there well we're a good pod yeah we are well I think we are a pretty good pod room I think that's been known for quite a long time I think so I'd like to say we're one of the best we probably are we should shift to a right-wing extremist content and talk about how Dr Fauci should be arrested yes Fauci should be arrested the jews should control America do you whether it's as far left what are you talking about oh that it's that would be like more like Charlie Kirk it just goes to Captain Kirk Captain Kirk that's just Mr no necky that's um that just goes to show how much we know about politics yeah I'm not brave enough for politics all I know is Israel's bad uh that's all I know hold on this whole operation was your idea um but yeah we should go to that and talk about how we spring the trap that didn't work and how the vaccines were fake and Dr Dr Fauci Fauci didn't work and how the vaccines were fake and Dr Dr Fauci didn't work and how the vaccines were fake and Dr Dr Fauci didn't work and how the vaccines didn't work and how the vaccines were fake and Dr Dr Fauci didn't work and how the vaccines and uh you know chuck would listen oh chuck we should have brought him up during the the break room oh i miss chuck my driving instructor and he loves listening to those kind of videos how was that by the way he'll never i can say anything i want he won't find this was it an observation or driving just real quick before we observation oh how was that uh very very funny anyways uh by the way thank you so much i'm so sorry finish saying that uh who made this uh i think it's maybe good pods let me check real quick hold on hold on hold on hold on yeah it's maybe good pods thank you so much to maybe good pods for the five star review next review um by the way you can use your phone the whole time they literally don't care um that's pretty bad yeah i hope you get to drive with chuck because that i only got to do it once and it was so much fun it was i thought he just didn't talk to you yeah he did but listening to the oh yeah all right yeah like that vaccines don't work and it was it was during prime it was during like right when the the files were released oh so i was getting all of it man cool um um all right uh moving on to spotify here we have uh a b and a b and c a b and c a b and c all right this review eat all right this review is titled eat this review is titled nothing because it's on spotify and it entails uh mudbloods are people magic but two muggle parents which draco called hermione in book three this is a reference to last episode when we were talking about uh slurs in harry potter wait hating on hermione my man i hate women oh my god get it it's funny because it's prime bca get it it's funny yeah and like in like 15 years from now you're gonna be doing like cameos where you say you hate women hey guys what's up prime bca i hate women thank you so much for the cameo make sure to book me again and uh have a happy birthday wait happy birthday daniel and uh i hate women that sounds horrible yeah what a like miserable this is what nova online does nova online has a cameo and it's like 70 bucks yeah i'm never buying that even if it was a dollar i'm not not doing it uh this is by super boom sonic thank you so much super boom sonic for the clarification on harry potter slurs uh next review yeah all right moving on to the discord server here every week we ask a question a weekly so if you would like to participate in that join the discord server and you will be doing every single week um we also have the ability for you to vote for uh what meme games you would like to us to play in episode 300 we're going to be playing five meme games so you get to vote for which five you would like us to play um and uh yeah and also also one more thing as i mentioned in the beginning of the episode uh there are uh questions uh if you have questions for us that you'd like to ask for us to answer in episode 300 make sure to ask us those before the 300th episode and all that stuff all right the question for the week was if we had to rebrand the podcast to be about a topic that wasn't memes what would you pick and why and for sake uh so before we read read these what what would we pick probably games i probably yeah i would say games too but i was also thinking like maybe tv shows and movies as well yeah i i was gonna i was gonna say pretty much all those those as well i was gonna like just entertainment and stuff because like the problem is if we are going to be playing games we wouldn't be popular because there's there's so many other podcasts uh but yeah i think memes was the perfect thing for us to to pick because there's just there's too many of of just like normal entertainment memes i'm sorry not memes podcasts um but yeah you know while while i was in chuck's car i was uh hearing about a podcast called raiders of the lost podcast where it just talks about movies and stuff i wonder if chuck listens to that probably not too busy getting his right wing extreme extremism you know uv lights are he's got some lectures about desert storm to talk about yeah he used to talk to me about how you know you saw a flattened man on the pavement while he was in the force or whatever i've seen clips of this uh podcast called the escape yes i love them man like it's like these two guys just arguing about like movies and shows and stuff is that the one where uh where the clip comes from it's like who cares you do yes yeah yeah that one yeah who cares you do i love them man they're so much fun yeah um she didn't ghost her she moved across the country uh so so yeah time for the uh the the what our fans said so uh ecd said uh pro israel content uh because big best um then okay i think i think a parody like pro israel podcast would actually be really funny yeah we should do that someone take your idea and do it and add us on like instagram or something and the the the this instead of it being like today we talk about it should be like 3 000 years ago uh this was promised to us and it's like you know yeah i i think that would be cool years ago we were prophesized to talk about um then uh sir cheeser not sir cheeser sorry um crusader said uh israeli gooning technique i guess uh all of these about israel no no uh this one's ducco ducco blue is this like a reference to i think he's just asking for ducco but blue ducco blue it might be yeah wait hold on wait yeah it is it actually is wait what ducco blue and how he slept with a hundred rems oh yeah that's how it is oh my god megaman you're a genius i just i just read a comment that was put in the live uh you don't get credit no no what is fantasy life i the girl who steals time what the what are you talking about yeah reading in the description whatever the next next thing next segment uh uh then ralsei backs the pro is real content uh ducco said i i am not blue um and uh dust said my book series and nothing else i need a community of people who are like potter heads because i'm the greatest author ever yeah yeah i agree with that one um it's probably better than uh what's her name erin hunter oh is that the um is that warrior cats yeah that's the 13 women who run warrior cats and can't agree on anything are they on like 80 books now or something like that i don't know if they're still making books they're probably just still doing graphic novels and whatever you know what we should do what if we ever become like a like billion million bajillionaires we should buy the rights to it and we should finish the series together and like actually right the series is finished i'm pretty sure oh it is get to reading i was about to say if it wasn't if you guys if you didn't say that i was gonna say you two have fun with that because i am no no no you you have to join us never mind eight months ago are you guys worried that the series might be ending it is still going oh my god you gotta get to reading it's like your one piece i'd have to restart dude i don't remember what's going on i don't think anyone reading it knows what's going on if i were to um reread warrior cats it would be audiobook for at least up until the book i left off are you sure you wouldn't read all of them no i try to read all of them but i i don't think i can stand rereading the same book i've read yeah that's fair especially when warrior cats is like 200 pages per book you should i know some people who read all the time are probably gonna say that's that's like that's the right work yeah you should you should read all of them though at some point i want to i i heard the writing just degrade so like one piece yeah like have you seen that like the 40 second clip of him and luffy of like some guy and it's not even 40 seconds it's like two minutes of them just like yeah i don't even know if i have to describe it i think you already know what i'm talking about luffy gets impaled yum chop scale wait did he actually yes he's dead what i'm pretty sure he might be dead i don't know he's gonna get revived yeah he will there's no way there's no way they can't revive him he's literally he's john one piece and they're not they're almost at the end getting revived when i when i saw the second set of dragon balls on namek i was like uh it's gonna be one of these was it yeah well uh goku's back so yeah great i of course he's back there vegeta literally dies no and he comes back so it's one of those yeah i bet it's still gonna be a good show but yeah it's one of those where no one dies i don't think anyone will die in the show honestly they all come back yeah i always come back anyway thank you guys that for the uh for the reviews and such yeah so thank you so much to oh i deleted the name i still remember it anyway thank you so much to maybe good pods and super room sonic and everyone who answered the weekly poll thing for the five star and supposed five star reviews if you want to be in criticism castle next time make sure to leave a review five star no it doesn't matter we just want to hear your criticism like name implies news mega man i walked in on you doing some horrible things i walked in on you sprite trading and fortnite oh no pretty awful man what you're selling them you're selling like beans that's sprite trafficking that's traffic i am not what are you talking you are you are trading sprites dude that's trafficking dude what the oh my god that's the third one of the episode but you know i have i'm gonna kill you sorry okay so we're gonna see what's going to happen okay so is it even hard editing the sound effect no okay okay so new sprites got in uh we got the john wick sprite which you could be able to play from the reload map which is the simpsons springfield map which came back my god the john wick sprite the simpsons reload map and fortnite uh there is also a edit style for the john wick skin which is a simpsified version of john wick skin which is a simpsified version of john wick skin which is a simpsified version of john wick skin and also there's only one difference from this map is that the continental is on the map but everything else is still the same what is the continental it's it's something from the john wick series it was something that was originally in season nine the original season yeah chapter one season nine oh okay uh there are some more we got some more sprites as well we got the llama which gives you a upgrade whenever you open up a ammo box yeah and there's the banana with the killing sprite which will let you be able to find variants that the sprite variants even if a person has it or not but there is one side effect to it it will reveal your location on the map so if you have a banana sprite on you you got to be very careful with it and variants of those sprites also did release including a couple for the zero point sprite and the grim reaper sprite and you can be able to claim quack variant sprites from the rewards page from uh mastering sprites so you get a zero point sprite for free so thanks epic i thought that was rare it is rare this year wait hold on the zero point one yes weren't those like really hard to find right for mastering 55 sprites but you can you can also be able to get it from other people if you don't have it yet like a man do you own every sprite in the game yes i own all 109 that are in the game jesus christ 50 we're born to see and they're all mastered and maxed out also we also did get somehow an iron mouse sprite is that her emote i'll buy that no i won't she isn't out yet she's and they had to remove it for yesterday because it's releasing on august 4th because that's the anniversary of iron mouse for something uh and also the gem grim reaper sprite also got melted well so whoever whoever has who had it it will it is going to be taken out of your collection why because they're not supposed to be out yet but they will but once they are released you will be able to get it back with the level it was already at a new festival season out we finally got somebody that is a male artist and also does a different genre of music we got lil teca god it's it's it's a good girl tech has like three songs there's a there's like four in the game oh okay okay so literally all of his discography 500 pounds um the one he did in 2024 2025 i can't remember what that was called is that wait hold on wait hold on do you remember what the songs are called uh 500 500 pounds ransom love me and there's one more but i forgot what it was okay it's like his whole discography uh Wu-Tang Clan what did we get one song oh that's the that's the niche one though in the music pass we got Doodoo by Skrilla better late than never yeah that's that's old that's old news guys that's like that's the last summer um designer sprite still no information yet but I'm hoping that later next week we finally get some news on it uh next season has been confirmed to be a video game Legends themed season and Battle Pass 2 and some of the stuff has been leaked for what we will be getting you'll have to play it BCA they're adding Eggman whoa whoa what yep we got Persona Eggman Tetris Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog is Sonic being added possibly is Tails being added probably it's like a probably it's like a sidekick I'd assume but yeah we got we got pretty good we have a pretty good lineup for next uh Battle Pass uh and the sprites are staying that has been confirmed that the sprites are staying which I am happy about oh they'll do they'll do video game sprites that's kind of cool yes that's what I was yeah and like I was saying this on one of my streams is that like with sprites they have like possibilities of doing like a bunch of collab stuff mmm like with the sprites and also with like other other like types of stuff like more things to clutter my locker like crime shows I was thinking uh maybe more like like do collaborations with games that kind of have the same aspect of like collecting creatures like Pokemon Nintendo will never let that happen they were gonna have a Samus skin and then Nintendo said can we have it only be can we only have people see the skin if they're on Nintendo platforms okay listen if they made it exclusive if you bought like a Switch that would be fine but making it like only be able to be seen on a Nintendo platform that's crazy that's like actually insane no that's why the collab didn't work there was also a Kirby thing there was a Kirby collab why okay it was it was for uh Sweetie Farts Party Royale okay like okay but it's so weird of all things to be in Fortnite why would you put Kirby he like cause Party Party Royale in parties there's a lot of things that don't fit in Fortnite I think Kirby is one of the things that like should never be added Kirby Mythic you know King DDD's Hammer yeah but the thing like Kirby just like doesn't fit in that kind like I bet you can imagine Bob Belcher with a gun right you can imagine Bob Belcher with a gun can you imagine Kirby with like a with like a scar does that sound right to you no it would be more of a sidekick than a I just don't think you should be there period I'm glad Nintendo is stingy but that I was thinking that but but I was also thinking maybe like Power World oh yeah I know I know that's a weird one but actually no that wouldn't fit but like I don't I don't think Nintendo can Nintendo no I think they're done suing Power World cause they can't win and I'm I was also thinking like they could possibly do like more like sprite designs based off of actual people or like other streamers and stuff I'm good I'm good bro I'm good on that that should be just saying that yeah can we get can we get a NuxTaku can we get a NuxTaku Faithful Sheriff um Doctor Disrespect and ooh who else who else who else who else low tier yeah low tier God and Clavicular that's my line yeah line up of doom yeah it's horrible Eggman what else uh designer sprite oh wait I already said that still not there hasn't been any news on the thing I'm I'm hoping that at least during next week we finally get some news on it because like I've been a lot of people including myself have been waiting for like an entire month for something and with the season ending soon we need some we need some sort of like confirmation or at least some sort of info on when when winners are being announced and when will people start getting the potential winners message so they at some point I'm hoping next week they say we finally get some news on it but right now it's been silent lately I'm hoping that we get some news on it and I'm hoping that we get some news on it and I'm hoping that we get some yeah all right bye guys bye bye wish me luck still good luck good luck mega man bye bye

FAQs

A polyester edit is a type of video edit, usually of movies or TV shows, that focuses on a character in the foreground while rapidly flashing different scenes in the background, accompanied by low-quality music. The term 'polyester' comes from the perceived horrible quality of the edit, similar to the fabric.

They are called polyester edits because the quality of the edits is considered horrible, just like the material polyester, which is often described as feeling bad or uncomfortable.

Polyester edits gained popularity in late 2025 on TikTok, with a significant surge in July 2026. The term 'polyester edit' was popularized by a TikToker on July 16, 2026, who called an Iron Man edit a '100% polyester edit.'

One of the earliest known examples was posted on October 17, 2025, by TikToker JJ Edits Films, featuring an Iron Man edit that gained over 5.7 million views in nine months.

The hosts find polyester edits funny but also uninspired and annoying, criticizing the editing style and music choices. They hope the style doesn't catch on, even as a joke.

Viewers can leave questions in the reviews, comments section, or the Discord server (linked in the description) for the hosts to answer in episode 300. They can also vote on which meme games to play.
