Boomer humor
I get more of a school bully vibe from it. The stereotypical old person joke is "wife bad", this sounds more like something a self-described "alpha male" would say.
"Bullying and sex-shaming funny" is just as much of a boomer humor cliché as "wife bad", though.
"sure was hard when you mom was bouncing on it last night"
...and that's a beating from the bully.
A comeback to likely piss off said boomer since they are probably homophobic too.
The original was better, since he left the antagonizer to his misery without any engagement, and went back to having fun.
Except that he's scowling.
Oh, that wasn't obvious on my phone screen until I zoomed in just now.
It is actually kind of nice that your mind went to him just enjoying life and not being bothered by bullies.
Gen-X here. Can confirm that "virgin", " nerd", and "" were preferred punch lines by the boomers.
Also judging people for having a harmless hobby that doesn’t conform to their world view.
Yep. Older Gen-X was very "boomery", NGL. I think grunge vs hair metal might be a dividing line. I've also heard banana seat vs bmx, and Bad News Bears vs Goonies.
By millenials still early 2000s, and you have to add ethnic slurs on that list
We watched an old episode of friends for nostalgia recently and the whole punchline of the entire episode was “yeah but you kissed a dude”.
Wasn't nerd still common bullying word in 80' and 90'? Then nerds became the richest people with the internet and it doesn't work anymore.
Needs the last panel to be blue shirt tied to a kite and flying away.
I can picture it and it’s wonderful!
