Seems to be hitting too close to reality? I'm definitely seeing some form of PTSD in millennials, like the monkey that gets the cucumber instead of the grape.

I hate my generation... and being lumped in with these idiots.

Haven't checked, but is "Married with Children" on Netflix? I would love to see the reactions to that show now.

Friends also triggers me. It is just a shit piece of TV, made for people who I assume have now moved onto Storage Hunters/Wars/etc.

Seriously. Stop grouping all these little whiny shits with people who happened to be born before 1998 or whatever it is.

Friends, like all tv is a product of it's time. It's not even that bad for gay jokes compared to some other stuff from that time. Hell it had gay characters that weren't even stereotypical gay characters. That's pretty good for the '90s....


Actually, it looks like the article is based on two or three tweets? If anything Millennial should be outraged at what qualifies as journalism these days.

.... So you think pretty much everyone now watches Storage wars? I think you forget how big of a phenomenon Friends was.

wait, didn't millennial grow up with friends? shit I grew up watching Seinfeld and reruns of cheers and I'm a millennial.

[Hallowed_point]

Can't say I agree with the millenial definition in terms of age. I say anyone born after early 1990's = yes 1980s's = no.

I hope "All in the Family" makes it onto Netflix, all of the Darkies and meat-head Pollocks will be outraged

As a kid you had no idea how bad it was until you turned into an adult.

I'm starting to think that these "millenials suck" articles are just clickbait. Everyone seems to be hating on millenials, and i bet it draws traffic.

[rage2]

I've been slowly going through the first 8 seasons of 2 and a Half Men w/Charlie Sheen, and I haven't laughed so hard at a TV show in years. That said, they'll never make a show like that again.

All seasons including the lame Ashton Kutcher seasons are on Amazon Prime Canada for those interested.

[max_boost]

I actually never watched Friends lol but maybe I will now.

I am watching How I Met Your Mother right now and so good haha

[Swank]

...I grew up watching Seinfeld...
Not that there's anything wrong with that :)

Three's Company would make a millenial shit sideways

Three's Company would make a millenial shit sideways

If so, then All In The Family would make them shit from every orifice.

[Swank]

^heh, yup, pretty much :rofl:

There is no hope for you im afraid. 2 and a half men must be the worst show ever created

Shame! :rofl:

All in the family was epic.

A couple of Archie's quotes:


The solution to skyjackings, is to arm all your passengers ... Just pass out the pistols at the beginning of the trip and pick them up again at the end. Case closed.

When Mike (his son in law), say's to Archie, "Racial balance is important in everything. Take education: Why do you think it's so tough for a black student to become a doctor?"

Archie replies:


Because nobody wants to see a black guy coming at them with a knife.

To be fair, shows like Brickleberry are far more offensive than anything from the 90's and they're watched by primarily millennials.

Married with children is on crave if anyone wants.

Agreed.

Thanks for that.

'uni student in the 90s' and 'new viewers'.

Also known as two groups who aren't Millenials.

[dandia89]

I don't know what's so surprising. the show didn't age well at all, like many TV shows. It might have been funny when we were growing up, but modern day comedy isn't as gimmicky as this show.

Three's Company would make a millenial shit sideways

Oh my do I miss Greedy Gretchen.:)

[ZenOps]

Hogans heroes and Fawlty towers. Both of which are definitely on the list for triggers nowadays. Even I found All in the family as being distasteful.
