We've moved into boomer territory when we joke that kids today don't get a joke older than the actual kids today

The people who wrote the culture war Boomer vs Millennial articles and are all the rising stars of MAGA.

I'd love a couple of links for that, some follow-up read, anything.

And why are they always playing games?

Oh fuck me. For a moment I started to think "no. Married with Children was already over 23 years ago" then I quickly realized that holy shit, Futurama is already over 23 years old.

And the reference is a show that ran until 1997. So a small slice of the audience was too young at the time.

And when did the MWC episode air?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Which one? The final episode aired on June 9, 1997.

I assumed it was a shot for shot parody of an episode. Guess it could just as easily be of all of them.

Oh, no, it was a common scene that indeed could have been any of them.
