Boomer humor
I get more of a school bully vibe from it. The stereotypical old person joke is "wife bad", this sounds more like something a self-described "alpha male" would say.
"Bullying and sex-shaming funny" is just as much of a boomer humor cliché as "wife bad", though.
"sure was hard when you mom was bouncing on it last night"
...and that's a beating from the bully.
Gen-X here. Can confirm that "virgin", " nerd", and "" were preferred punch lines by the boomers.
Wasn't nerd still common bullying word in 80' and 90'? Then nerds became the richest people with the internet and it doesn't work anymore.
Needs the last panel to be blue shirt tied to a kite and flying away.
I can picture it and it’s wonderful!
The moral of this comic is the last pane, where the hobbyist goes back to doing what they enjoy and the other guy is still a miserable, lonely cunt.
I regularly flew kites from the campus yard in college (many moons ago). It was just something I had enjoyed doing with my mother who had died during my senior year of high school. I was never called a virgin for it, but I did get laid a lot thanks to it. It's a wholesome conversation starter plus I think it made me approachable. Thanks mom.
It's hard to make time for sex when you are learning how to fly a kite from its tail. The man is defying basic physics right there.
Now there's a throwback to '90s/early internet humor.
This kind of joke pre-dates the internet.
What's the hardest part about ?
Telling your parents that you're gay.
This joke just switches homophobia with virginity shame.
I have no doubt about that. The virginity part was what dated this specific iteration of it.
Staying a virgin is easy. Just develop a shitty personality or maybe even a personality disorder like I did and viola, you are now a forever virgin.
However, living as a virgin is much more difficult. Between self-loathing and depression, you could turn suicidal. Again like I did.
Sorry to hear man, I hope you have found some way to move on and enjoy life
At this point, the best I can do is hope. I am lost. Thanks though.
kite: you do realize I’m up here, right
Do you think Benjamin Franklin was a virgin? No. Benjamin Franklin fucked, and flew kites.
I feel like basic kite flying is wholesome.
Sure seems hard to draw a kite
