GenX Humor: Pointing out that they forgot to put GenX in the joke

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I prefer to call it the generation formerly known as Twitter

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

We're humorless.

Came here to say the same thing, we are the forgotten generation and I'm ok w/ that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

We're neutral neutral.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeeeeah y'all just have it out and we'll be over here.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Truly the forgotten generation.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, I came here to point this out but you beat me to it.

Our humour is often referred to as “dark”, but in reality we have simply internalised it like the rest of our emotions and have replaced it with pure unadulterated sarcasm and incredulity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's "Despicable Me", not "Despicable I"

We never forget GenX, we just only mention them when they're important

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Only their importance is more subtle than this burn.

You know there's a whole, quite significant demographic you just missed there, right?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Which one?
