Vance Jokes About Banning 'Six' And 'Seven' After Son Echoes Viral Chant

His quip nods to a youth meme from Skrilla’s “Doot Doot (6 7)” that has prompted nuisance-level actions by schools, Indiana police and In‑N‑Out, not actual lawmaking.

Overview

  • Posting on X on Dec. 10, the vice president said his 5-year-old repeated “six seven” during a church reading on pages 66–67 and joked about a “narrow exception to the First Amendment” to “ban these numbers forever.”
  • The chant traces to rapper Skrilla’s 2025 track and its link to NBA guard LaMelo Ball’s 6'7'' listing, evolving into a call-and-response with a distinctive hand motion among children.
  • Teachers report classroom disruptions and, in some cases, have penalized students or assigned explanatory essays as the phrase spread through schools.
  • In-N-Out has reportedly removed the number 67 from order tickets after crowds gathered to film the number being called in restaurants.
  • Local authorities joined the gag in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where deputies issued fake “tickets” in a social media bit, and coverage widely described Vance’s post as tongue-in-cheek, drawing joking support from parents online.
