People Are Ironically Cracking Up At These 30 Awkward And Outdated Jokes, As Shared In This ‘Baby Boomer Humor’ Online Group
If you’ve been living on this planet for long enough, you’ll notice that there’s already a lot of generational clashing among people. The most famous of which are baby boomers versus millennials (and somewhat Gen Z).
The issue is deeply rooted in a lot of social, cultural, and economic nuances, but we’ll take it easy this time around and focus on one aspect that pokes fun at stereotypes, all the while becoming a stereotype in and of itself.
Boomer Humor.
Incidentally, there’s a dedicated online group found on Reddit that ironically shares typical boomer jokes, anecdotes, memes, or just posts because baby boomers “have the FUNNIEST sense of humor…”
Scroll down to check out the top posts from the community and learn something new along the way.

As the artist who devised this cartoon I must say I'm quite pleased to see it in first place. This cartoon was cut from the Montclair Times three years ago and it keeps on going. It can be seen on t-shirts, coaster, probably even toilet paper! If only I had a nickel for every time it runs. I am honored to be in first place, it holds more weight than winning a state press association ad. Jon A.Russo

Nothing wrong with enjoying Christmas and allnthe things that go with it. But seeing Christmas and Halloween displays being put up on the same day is too much.

yet fox news is always screaming about “the war on christmas”. there is a hilarious segment where a fox anchor is absolutely losing her s**t over the fact that her child had to see a “festivus poll made out of beer cans next to the nativity”. she’s so offended by this you would think someone pulled their d**k out and pissed all over baby jesus.

It wouldn’t be fun if we didn’t turn this into an educational thing, so strap yourself in, because we’re gonna get a bit nerdy. Or not. We’re gonna get educational, though.
Baby boomers are a generation of people who were born between 1946 and 1964. They're called that because that was the time of conceptual prosperity and hence a lot of people were born during that time. Today, folks representing boomers are between 58 and 76 years old.
Baby boomers are actually the second-biggest generation by population, going right after millennials. Because of these numbers and the state of the economy back in the mid-20th century, they’re considered the most economically influential generation so far.
And, in turn, most people from this generation are goal-oriented, self-assured, resourceful, and value relationships. But, as you might have already guessed by now, growing old means becoming more set in your beliefs, and this meant that there’s bound to be conflict once the next big generation comes along. Spoiler: there already is.

There's a twilight zone episode called "To serve man", that fits here.
So, millennials came around starting 1981 and continued to come around until 1996, with most of them being kids of baby boomers. And being so far the largest generation around, it has started taking over opinion platforms and pushing out the old ways of boomers.
And this is where it starts to get messy. Compared to the previous generation, most millennials face a lot of financial challenges—everything from crippling student loans to the prices currently inflating in the housing market to a min-maxed labor economy where you gotta work hard to earn peanuts in many cases.
Once millennials started voicing their concerns about this, baby boomers started pointing fingers and calling them lazy, wasteful, and ungrateful (and avocado munchers—yeah, take that, millennials!), despite the economy having been much more generous to them than it is to the later generations.
Studying for boomers cost them nearly 3 times less than it does now for younger generations; the average costs of a new home before the 1970s was $23,000 and only a bit later started rising rapidly; and it’s reported that given how economies work, millennials earn around 20% less than their baby boomer labor equivalents. There are just a few examples of how realistically difficult millennials have it, and how easy boomers had it. Hence the drama.

OK, so, less context, more fun. In turn, boomer jokes are more or less representative of what the general frame of mind was and how things were done back in the day.
The Reddit community r/BoomersHumor does a good job preserving the historical humor of the time in the form of comics and memes, but also newspaper clippings and the like.
Much of this style of humor pokes fun at the generational differences between baby boomers and nearly everyone else, but mostly millennials and Gen Z-ers, but also takes a jab at the boomers themselves in the form of how things have changed.
Topics and themes include ridiculing PC culture and political correctness in general, poking fun at people’s dependence on modern technology, or just dad-joking their way into people’s hearts. Sprinkle in a little bit of sexism, ageism and other forms of opinions that breed intolerance and you got Boomer Humor.
As of this article, the community has nearly 260,000 members who ironically post Boomer Humor on the daily, and it’s a number that the subreddit has managed to draw together since early 2019.

A lot of people have died over the last few years due to privatized electric grid in Texas failing when we needed it the most however because the governor Greg Abbott directly profits off of the grid system, he pushes the idea that it was because of failing wind turbine instead.

In case anyone needs a joke explainer I think it's because some wind turbines froze in Texas and jacked up the power grid so therefore renewable energy is useless and fossile fuel is the way to go.
Redmagesyndrome 3 years ago
This is the big lie that the politicians in Texas have been pushing. In reality the power grid went down because our power grid is privatized, and we were unable to call on reserves from the rest of the nation when we needed them most. Abbott and his clowns like to push the idea it all happened because of turbines because he directly profits from ERCOT.

This Is The Christmas The Millennial Liberals Want!

I get that Christmas is technically a religious holiday but it's also a very commercialized holiday with more roots in pagan practices than Christian ones. My point being that there are millions and millions of people who love and celebrate Christmas who are not Christians or not religious. And at least where I live my millennial and gen x atheist friends have always said Merry Christmas. But it's cool too if they don't want to. I've just never seen it.
