I don't get the humour of the young'uns of today

What's Hot
axisusaxisus Frets: 28280
Many years ago, I got a Facebook friend request from a friend of my oldest son. Seemed rude to turn it down so he has been on my list ever since. I figured he'd probably wise up and dump me at some point. Anyway, he didn't and he's 22 these days. He posts a hell of a lot of meme's. I struggled to understand the concept of meme's at first. I get it now, but I really don't get the humour with a lot of that stuff. It's kind of interesting to see what him and his mates laugh at though.

Here's a couple of examples, anyone 'get' these???:

    This one I can very much relate to. I try to read a book to get knowledge into my brain, but it doesn’t go in, and the knowledge just seems to spill somewhere else, just like the drink spilling away from the glass instead of pouring into the other glass like it should.

  • The last one raised a half-smile. There are some very funny memes around, but those aren’t.

    think the doctors one was in response to a popular video of surgical skills being done on a grape.
    The end of No-nut November one I get but isn't that amusing

    Could be you’re getting too old for the internet?


    You just don’t know the references and have a different frame of reference for comedy and culture.

    But it did remind me of this song.

  • If you weren’t already aware, they did surgery on a grape.

    Tell me about it - this is the kind of thing my kids are into at the moment, they watch this stuff while rolling around the floor in stitches - I just don't get:

    WTF did I just watch 46 seconds of?

    Maybe try them with an episode or two of Yes Minister or Porridge.  Explain that they have what we used to call 'writing'.

    Yes, and then tell them they wear their trousers funny, and you can't tell the girls from the boys any more.

    Argh, the youth of today.

    Exactly what my dad used to say to me when I rolled about the floor laughing whilst watching the Young Ones all those years ago. 

    When kids of today think Ed Sheeran is some sort of rock god it gives a sign that all is not well.  Bland, bland, bland. 

    I am so glad I was a 60's kid who had his teenage years in the 80's.

    It’s an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means. It’s pronounced to rhyme with Rémy. 


    Edit I mean Reims.
