“Boomer Humor” Comics

I 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.

“Boomer Humor” Comics

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.

Cole Montgomery

Difficult to choose a true favourite. Among them is Frankie Boyle, Lee Evans, Al Murray, Sean Lock and Gary Delaney.

Matthew Pettet

My most favorite comedians are dead sadly - Chris Farley, George Carlin. The ones still here are Patton Oswalt, Gabriel Iglesias, Kevin Hart and Matteo Lane.

Right!? Or I was thinking like a Gen Alpha who doesn’t know the nuances of millennial vs boomer humor 😂❤️

Meg Adams

Ooh thank you for the recommendations!

Meg Adams

I would have taken that SO personally too! But sounds like a criticism a boomer would make...

I 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)

"Turnabout is fair play!" ("millennial" being anyone younger than a Boomer)

Thank you! ❤️

LOVE Nicole Byer!! ❤️❤️ She’s hilarious!

Meg Adams

Right!? Thank you! ❤️❤️

Meg Adams

I need to check out Arcuri and Nolke! GenX humor is some of my favorite 😂

Meg Adams

Thank you! ❤️❤️

Meg Adams

Lolll that’s way off the mark, your comics are very millennial coded. I really love Taylor Tomlinson and Nicole Byer 💕

Lewis is a delight. He reminds me of the Pratchett idea of militant decency. You can be absolutely aprshit mad at the world, but you can take that anger and direct it usefully.

Devin Gates

You make comics about therapy and mental health. I can't think of anything more anti-boomer than that!

Grace Kieser

Yes exactly! “Boomer humor” as a specific brand of humor is so negative!

Meg Adams

Thank you! Also I love your glasses!

Meg Adams

I’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

Yeah, 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.

They don't know what they're talking about. Your comics are definitely melenalial humor

LX Chock

I need to check these guys out! Thanks for the suggestions!

Meg Adams

I think you’re right! 😂❤️

Meg Adams

I gotta check them out! And thank you!

Meg Adams

not at all boomer humor. that was so rude.

Ashley Thomas

We gotta know which one inspired this wild accusation!

Tessa Murphy

As for favorite comedians: Lewis Black George Carlin Billy Connolly Anthony Jesilnek So, basivally, I'm into bitter old men and Jesilnek, I guess

Mortimer Langford

You'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

I 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!"

Devin Gates

P.S. Favorite comedian(s): Nish Kumar, Aisling Bea, Bill Bailey, & Sindhu Vee

Jennifer Boughton

VERY millennial!

Jacob McLaughlin

Probably one of those Gen Alphas that call everyone older than them a boomer.

Kakairo

Your comics are some of the most millenial i have ever seen!
