I absolutely love it when something in a Boomer Humor style is actually a good joke.

    Answer my question or go away. I am so tired of trolls and what-about-ism.

    Says the one who literally opened with "what about" 😛

    To answer your question, though, "boomer" isn't just a pejorative, nor is "boomer humor" necessarily an insult.

    Point of fact: this comic is of a wholesome but silly kind of humor that boomers absolutely adore and that doesn't mean that it's bad.

    I also could have just said “how”. I wasn’t being an asshole just because somebody else didn’t understand something I did.

    I disagree, I have literally never heard “boomer humor” or “boomer” applied in a positive light and a quick search is backing up my thinking on that.

    Just because you haven't personally come across it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

    a quick search is backing up my thinking

    Fun fact: the most common examples will show up at the top of search results. Uses free of negative connotations are not as frequent and as such tend to be further down the results and thus tend to not be found in a QUICK search unless you get your search parameters JUST right.

    I didn’t say or suggest that my lack of knowledge meant that it didn’t exist.

    Then provide a primary source that backs up what you are saying please. Otherwise all I have to go on is the word of a bully and an unconvincing internet stranger who’s only argument so far is the same one I heard about god and faith when I was forced to go to Sunday school.

    This is an editorial that describes these as the diamonds in the rough, not boomer humor as not cringe or as one cells in general.

    Oh fuck off. Open your eyes and see for yourself. The Far Side-like drawing style and silly dad joke absolutely scream boomer humor. If you can't see the obvious right in front of your eyes, then it might be time to get tested for autism.

    1. I am autistic, but I’m really not sure what that has to do with you not answering my question and being an ass about it.
    2. I asked a simple question, you aren’t even who I was asking, why did you even bother to respond if you were just going to be an asshole?
    3. I’m not getting any similarity to the far side here and one cell comics and dad jokes both predate boomers. Typical boomer humor is like wife hating jokes.
    4. If I could see what’s obvious to you then why would I ask? WTF? Why do people keep assuming that everyone else must experience the world the exact same way they do and take offense when they don’t?

    My brother in Cthulhu, I do not care. Like a typical autistic person, you're being pedantic and hyperfixating on things that do not matter. Life is too short for you to obsess over the fine details of my behavior and how I replied to you. You're supposed to just laugh at the silly comic or make fun of it, and then move on.

    So please, stop being so god damn autistic and just LET. IT. GO. You're really frustrating to talk to. I responded to your initial question with hostility because it was kind of a dumb question to ask. Any more questions? (that question was sarcasm)

    So what you are saying is that you are a bully and you only responded in the first place because it was a chance to make yourself feel better at the expense of somebody else’s edification. Got it. Bye.
