What I’m not saying: You should not find this funny.
What I am saying: The comedian, having aimed at Gen Z, missed. A lack of understanding of who we group as Gen Z is essential if you want to poke fun, even harmless fun.
From the video:
“We’re warriors for justice, if you said something disparaging 10 years ago ,we’ll find it… canceled”
Only certain people think this is a stereotype of gen-z, only certain people use “cancelled” as a verb.
Talking with his mother on the phone:
“Tell me you’re a boomer without tellin’ me you’re a boomer?”
By all generational logic, Gen-Z’s parents are not boomers.
“I’m just trying to look under his shell so I don’t misgender him”
Who finds this remotely funny? So much to unpack but to cut to the heart of it, only reactionary types think this is a thing. It betrays the worldview that this is both generational and humorous in the observing.
This guy isn’t Gen Z and he isn’t being self effacing. He shows an alt-right worldview in a lot of his jokes and is oblivious to the fact that his target isn’t Gen Z but certain demographics ideas of what passes for Gen Z
