These 40 Hilarious Memes Prove Millennials Still Have The Best Sense Of Humor (New Pics)
It is said that nothing in this world is certain, except for death and taxes. But that’s not true. Another cold, hard fact is that you are going to age, whether you like it or not. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Every second that passes, every minute of every day, signifies you getting a little bit older. Think about it, you’re closer to your next birthday now than you were when you started reading this article.
Okay, now that we’ve been blunt AF, ripped off the band-aid and rubbed some salt in the wound, we can work on making your boo-boo a bit better. There’s a hilarious IG account called “I Am 30AF” that’s been created to help you laugh so hard that you’ll feel it in your creaky bones. The page has become a "Millennial Heaven" for more than 3.1 million followers. Bored Panda has picked our personal favorite posts to help anyone who is woefully mourning their youth. Kick back, grab your cup of tea, crochet needles, and keep scrolling... knowing that you’re not alone.

I've seen this one so many times before, and it never ceases to be completely adorable.
If you were born between 1981 and 1996, you can consider yourself a millennial. That’s according to the Pew Research Center, which has done extensive research on this generation. When it comes to humor, millennials are in a league of their own. But whether it’s a winning or a losing league depends largely on who you ask.
The younger Gen Z “kids” aren’t always impressed by millennial humor, with some going as far as calling it “excessively self-deprecating and dark”. TikTokers have also called out millennials for constantly harping on about how bored or fatigued they are in life. Others say millennials "try too hard" to be funny, or are just plain "corny".
I just want to point out that this is a post from seven years ago, pre- pandemic, and it's only gotten worse 🫤
It’s no surprise that millennials are tired. Besides having to cope with general adulting, they can’t seem to catch a break from the younger generations. “Over the past few years, Gen-Zers have used social media to identify the many things millennials do, particularly online, that now feel out of touch,” reads this report by media monitoring company, Meltwater. “They’ve even coined a catchall phrase for those behaviors: millennial cringe.”
According to Meltwater, millennial cringe refers to "anything millennials do that inspires second-hand embarrassment in younger people." Some examples include using the 😭 emoji, or emojis in general, posting a Boomerang, painting your home in a neutral gray, skinny jeans, and taking photos in landscape mode. Hell, millennials are even being roasted for breathing.
Apparently, millennials need to hurry up already. A slew of TikTok parody accounts make fun of what's known as the "Millennial Pause."
"That so-called draw of breath they apparently all take before speaking on a social video — is ‘cheugy’ (basic, embarrassing)," reads this humorous take on millennial cringe published in the Standard. The writer goes on to say that in the eyes of the Gen-Z generation, millennials also all have zero chill.
"Every video send-up is chaotic and yet deftly depressing in the extreme. There’s a whole sub-section dedicated to how wilfully clumsy millennial women are. And yet also, how we like to do dance routines for men’s attention. The eye for a very distinct but also derogatory detail is close. It’s as if they’re, like, obsessed with us?"
Maybe the younger generation is a bit obsessed with millennials... Meltwater's research shows that there was a 119% increase in mentions of millennials and cringiness from November 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023, compared to the 12 months prior, while online conversations about the millennial pause jumped by 432% during that period.
It's how I feel about cars with their stereo cranked so loud that it makes MY car windows vibrate. Yes, thank you. The whole neighbor wants to listen to your music.
So when did millennials start losing their cool? If The Curious Creator is to be believed, they fell out of the “it crowd” around about the time when the oldest millennials turned 40 in 2023. “The vast majority of the generation are no longer in their 20s,” reads the blog, adding that a term was even coined to describe the oldest of the cohort: geriatric millennial. How rude!
I have a partner that I can be my completely authentic weird self with and it's amazing. They can be the same, and we've both never been happier. We're both Autistic and ADHD, so we're used to masking/hiding our "weird" behaviors, but we don't have to do that with each other and it's so freeing. I love them so much yall
The Curious Creator says geriatric millennials are the home-owning type and not "the avocado toast-loving, Instagram-obsessed, living-with-their-parents millennial that the world has learned to love and hate. That title – at least an altered version – now goes to Gen Z with oat lattes replacing avocado toast TikTok for Instagram.”
Which might go to show that no matter what generation you fall into, you aren't immune from being roasted by the next up-and-coming cool gang on the internet.
I read Bored Panda whether I’m home or in the office. The only difference is that at the office I’ll hold my phone with one hand and have the mouse in the other hand so it looks like a “quick” interruption, maybe from my boss.
then get to it as fast as you can, burst through the doors and yell "I OBJECT, this doesn't fit my schedule!"
I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone refer to string cheese as "a cheese string" XD
I stopped working hard like 10 years ago. Bare minimum is my target
American billionaires skipped the Bruce Wayne phase, skipped the Tony Stark phase, and went straight into the Lex Luthor phase. Maybe it's related to the lack of "killing their beloved ones", or "being under fire in a warzone", but it's something that should be properly analyzed and probably easily fixed.
Oh boy… another news network ran by well off bourgeois people who are out of touch with the rest of us but for some reason are allowed to broadcast their stupid thoughts as “news”
Who decided the letters had to go in a particular order, anyway? If you say them in a different order, do you fail 'Alphabet'? Are there "Alphabet Police" who will give you a ticket? Take you to jail? Make you re-write the alphabet in their preferred listing 10 times in a row? Rebel! Rage against the Alphabet Goons!
olden equivalent of the redditors in the comments of a harmless youtube post saying "*you're"
I came close to taking one of those sorts of deals. I was sitting in the waiting area about three feet from the lady at the boarding gate counter when she asked. I seriously considered it but I really wanted to get home to family. I think it was hotel, meals, flight the next day and a round trip ticket to anywhere they fly.
In Scotland the tradition was “guising”, where you had to sing a song, recite a poem or tell a joke before you got your reward. Unfortunately I think the American trick or treat thing has taken over.
Personally, I prefer to eat everything, drink too much and spend all my money and STILL be miserable. It's called being an adult, dammit!
The five day work week was created with the assumption that everybody working was a man who had a wife at home for the chores (It was created in the 1920's so it is in fact very outdated.)
There a lot of money to be made by investing in the pharmaceutical field. Don't by stock in Eli Lilly or Pfizer. Put your money in whatever company CVS buys its register tape from.
Note from academia - professors in some fields can get very fussy about citing "old" references (more than five years) as they may not reflect the current guesses research is making.
Thursday is great because you only have to work friday (who ACTUALLY works on friday? lmao /j) and october is fall <3
2 days but only if it’s been out of reach of the cat. If it’s within reach of the cat about an hour, or until I hear the crash.
Haha my niece and nephew (12 and 10 years old) were shocked when ib0ut on the back light onna drive to keep my toddler awake. Stating their parents said they aren't allowed to have it on, so it's still a thing! I told them the truth that is probably just because it's extra distraction for their parents when driving in the dark, let them go forth with the truth!
At the next party: Wellwellwell, bozo in sweatpants just showed up! Everybody gather! Magic!😂
Parallel parking can only be safely observed from a second story window or higher.
Once, I borrowed a chord from a colleague. When I were to return it, I wanted to spice it up a bit. So I googled "hangman's knot". First thing in the results were a link to a suicide hotline and done encouraging words. Finding this funny, I tried the same with bing. First result; how to tie a hangman's knot!
I rarely make a comment like this, but we literally saw many of these here on Bored Panda in the last week.
I was just going to say: most of these are not, in fact, new pictures
