The there is also the electric piano

I'm not sure what type of humour this is called, but man I love this shit. It's like...almost a non-sequitor.

Gets me every time.

The evolution of comedy in 75 years: if you made this now the guitar would work.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

How did he expect that to work, when it doesn't even have an amp?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Cause the comic was made in 1949, most people only knew acoustic.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

But that inevitably leads to the next question: How did he expect to make this joke in 1949? He should have known that Jimi Hendrix hadn't even started playing guitar by then.

Because people had heard of electric guitars

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

I think he's just expecting the player piano version of a guitar.

Lemmy needs a good boomer humor community.

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 27 points 5 months ago

That ain't Boomer Humor. The oldest of them would be...4 years old then. It's Greatest Generation humor. The ones whose work the Boomers killed.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Fair enough, but stuff like this would fall under that umbrella.

IIRC, the boomer humor subs on reddit allowed stuff outside that era if it was properly labeled.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

I think Boomer Humor has to not just be from the era, but have some kind of "wife bad" energy to it. This one is just kind of cute.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Hence the term Good Boomer Humor.

Comics that are of the same time and style of those "wife bad" comics, but actually funny and acceptable by today's standards.
