One, two. Buckle my shoOOe
Gen Z are so strange.
Aren’t all these ducks here for GenZ? Yall like ducks, right? That dragon has a duck. Hilarious.
Man was Mario \ Duck Hunt was ahead of its time.
Don’t worry Gen Alpha is coming along pretty fast and soon Gen Beta is going to pop in the fun. In 20 years a lot of people are going to freak out.
No, the majority of Airplane! is word play. (The “drinking problem”, the infamous “don’t call me Shirley” line, the responses to “what is it”, the whole tip of a hat to “who’s on first” with the pilot’s names, etc.) There is a very tiny amount of true randomness thrown in (like the topless woman running past the screen as the passengers are panicking because there’s no coffee) and a slightly higher count of slapstick sight gags (like the you-know-what hitting the fan literally and the reporters running into the bank of phones so hard they knock it over), but the vast majority of it is word play. This is why Airplane! is so quote-able and why Gen Z “humor” isn’t.
The biggest difference is Gen Z “humor” involves a lot of situational “you had to be there”. More than that, it revolves a lot around memes that got memed to the point of lunacy, usually over a span of a couple weeks, and everyone thought it was hilarious for a few days then moved on. Going back to look at those moments again later, they’re simply not actually funny, even if they were amusing in the moment. That social “conversation” is over and everyone has moved on, which is why everyone will all stare at you blankly if it gets brought up again and they’ll wonder why you’re so five minutes ago.
But what I said just above is the most important: “even if they were amusing in the moment”. Because it’s always a case of “you had to be there”, Gen Z “humor” does not have staying power. It sort of evaporates instead of sticking around, and thus it would make a poor addition to a game which is arguably designed for both lots of replay and for people to play later. You need to amuse your up and coming players two, three, or four years down the road and they won’t be amused by a constant stream of “you had to be there”.
Can’t wait for Gen Full Release ![]()
Zoomers didn’t invent silly cars.
Oh it’s so much worse than that! Biggly!
No, sincerely Gen X
I love all kinds of humor. BUT… the “LOLSoRandom” element of tiktok humor is just a little too kiddy for me. It just takes me a few fractions of a second too long to get it and the emotional payoff just isn’t there. It’s not satisfying to me.
I’ll stick with my slightly more contextually bound Gen X biting sarcasm.
Are they the ones that came up with “Enjoyer”?
I hate that one for some reason lol.
I dunno. I like my humor to have structure.
Not random loud noises, screaming and absolute nonsense. Maybe I’m getting old.
This is just stupid. Not humor.
I thought zoomers were too easily offended by anything and everything to have a sense of humor.
It’s why we can’t have nice things and everything gets censored now.
its not sunday.
Npc follower that yells “sheeeeeeesh!” every time you get in combat?
I am going to bet a million gold that they is not the ones up in arms over a beer can.
Well at least we can say that we find ourselves funny ![]()
Wow boomers just crying over different humor
