Today we’d like to introduce you to John Metzdorf.
Hi John, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I got started making memes about theme parks in 2020, just before the pandemic hit. During this time theme parks were widely closed, and I feel like people were drawn to my content as a way to escape. My memes were characterized as being sometimes political, somewhat cynical, and occasionally heartfelt. Flash forward to 2025, I am still making memes, but I have expanded to short skits, tee shirt design, and occasional sponsored posts revolving around theme parks, film, nostalgia, and travel.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
In addition to content creation, I am employed in a full time salary position. I occasionally struggle to find the drive to create as much as I would like.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Gratuitous Theme Parks?
Whenever I am offered sponsored content opportunities, I specialize in creating comedic, but informative content for the brand.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Travel makes me happy. Whether it is going somewhere completely new, or revisiting a place I love.
