    Pretty sure zoomers just troll boomers who genuinely think the new generation is stupid

      As a millennial…zoomer humor is soooo much better than boomer humor.

        You don’t like boomer humor knee slapper jokes like

        “My wife is a bitch, please take her”

        And

        “Oh look it’s a homosexual”

        ?

          I don’t think I’ve ever seen “oh look it’s a homosexual” as a boomer humor joke, but definitely a lot of using LGBT as a sideshow.

            Hang with my dad for a bit. When he’s lucid, he’ll pop Forrest Gump voices, poke fun at gender neutral pronouns and talk loudly in the open about my gay neighbors (who are amazing). All this often leads to a fight and learning that it’s not ok to verbally abuse boomers, but it’s ok for them to verbally abuse everyone else. This privilege comes with age… so I’m told.

            Trust me, you’re not missing out

        As another millennial… you’re not wrong, but you basically put the bar on the floor there. The funniest thing about most boomer humor is that they actually think they’re clever.
