“Boomer Humor” Comics
Added 2025-02-24 22:28:36 +0000 UTCI saw a comic of mine on Pinterest and one of the comments called it “boomer humor” 😭😭😭 I love boomers like my dad, and our sense of humor is similar. But my comics are VERY millennial.
On the topic of humor, do you have a favorite comedian? I love Chris Fleming.
Comments
My favorite comedian depends on what kind of comedy I'm looking for. Clean humor is always Brian Regan or Jim Gaffigan, although Nate Bargatze is a recent favorite after I saw him live last year. If I want some edgier comedy I'll go with Daniel Tosh or Anthony Jeselnik. Demetri Martin or James Acaster for comedic performances that aren't just stand-up. Mitch Hedberg or again Demetri Martin if I want some good one-liners. But my overall favorite comedian of all time is Eddie Izzard.

2025-02-25 21:06:29 +0000 UTCI would have taken that SO personally too! But sounds like a criticism a boomer would make...

2025-02-25 13:48:16 +0000 UTCI liked but haven't actively followed in a while: - Eddie Izzard - Henry Rollins (more "stand up and blither" than comedy) - Janeane Garofalo - Jonathan Katz (via "Dr. Katz" - very dry) - Lewis Black (mentioned by others earlier)

2025-02-25 00:17:38 +0000 UTCI need to check out Arcuri and Nolke! GenX humor is some of my favorite 😂

2025-02-25 00:16:27 +0000 UTCLolll that’s way off the mark, your comics are very millennial coded. I really love Taylor Tomlinson and Nicole Byer 💕

2025-02-24 23:01:42 +0000 UTCYou make comics about therapy and mental health. I can't think of anything more anti-boomer than that!

2025-02-24 23:00:18 +0000 UTCYes exactly! “Boomer humor” as a specific brand of humor is so negative!
Meg Adams
2025-02-24 22:50:27 +0000 UTCThank you! Also I love your glasses!
Meg Adams
2025-02-24 22:49:20 +0000 UTCI’ll go digging and see if I can find it. Admittedly can’t remember what comic it was commented on, I was just so blown away someone accused me of boomer humor hahaha!
Meg Adams
2025-02-24 22:49:12 +0000 UTCYeah, I don’t see it. Boomer humor is about how young people are idiots and how your husband/wife sucks. Bleak, cynical garbage. But I’m GenX, so we just spew snark and sarcasm amongst ourselves while Millennials and Boomers attack each other. Have obsessed over Jeff Arcuri for about two years now. He’s gotten really popular recently, but his crowd work remains incredible. Julie Nolke got me through the darker days of Covid (her Explaining the Pandemic to my Past Self series especially), but I don’t watch a lot of her anymore.

2025-02-24 22:49:08 +0000 UTCThey don't know what they're talking about. Your comics are definitely melenalial humor

2025-02-24 22:48:26 +0000 UTCI need to check these guys out! Thanks for the suggestions!
Meg Adams
2025-02-24 22:48:09 +0000 UTCI think you’re right! 😂❤️
Meg Adams
2025-02-24 22:47:40 +0000 UTCI gotta check them out! And thank you!
Meg Adams
2025-02-24 22:47:28 +0000 UTCnot at all boomer humor. that was so rude.
Ashley Thomas
2025-02-24 22:40:37 +0000 UTCWe gotta know which one inspired this wild accusation!
Tessa Murphy
2025-02-24 22:39:56 +0000 UTCAs for favorite comedians: Lewis Black George Carlin Billy Connolly Anthony Jesilnek So, basivally, I'm into bitter old men and Jesilnek, I guess

2025-02-24 22:38:20 +0000 UTCYou're far too affectionate towards your spouse for it to be Boomer humor. Which I'm fine with, because that stuff was never funny to me.
Mortimer Langford
2025-02-24 22:36:47 +0000 UTCI don't see how it's 'boomer humour'. I've always considered that the likes of Rodney Dangerfield and Don Rickles. Punch down at any moving target, my friends family and coworkers hate me as much as I hate them. "I've seen mean people. Take my wife. ..... please!"

2025-02-24 22:33:51 +0000 UTCP.S. Favorite comedian(s): Nish Kumar, Aisling Bea, Bill Bailey, & Sindhu Vee

2025-02-24 22:33:44 +0000 UTCVERY millennial!
Jacob McLaughlin
2025-02-24 22:32:18 +0000 UTCProbably one of those Gen Alphas that call everyone older than them a boomer.

2025-02-24 22:31:03 +0000 UTCYour comics are some of the most millenial i have ever seen!
