The Tenured Boomer Professor is the type of lecturer I wish I had. To the point, respectful and actually gives good advice. Teddy and the professor are the shining beacons of light of the slapper verse
i had a prof like him. would go on about his hippie days and his experiences with psychedelics. he was a chiller but was also still a ridiculously hard grader and gave out a lot of Cs.
Dude I would be crazy to watch Teddy and the professor meet. I would set aside prime time to watch it! Kinda wondering WHERE they could meet. Teddy is a reader so maybe the library?
In sense they did in this video. just a different kind of average redditor. the one who follows r/all or r/popular and have no front page curated for their own interests
@@supersaiyanyoshi1175 I personally find it very impolite to just beat around the bush. If you can't say straight up what you need to say, then you're just wasting my time.
I detest the word "adulting" so much it's unreal. don't get me wrong though, the world can get pretty overwhelming and shitty sometimes, and it's true that it expects many things from us that we aren't naturally inclined to do, but that word... man, I feel it just cheapens everything, ya know?
@@sunsetman22 Yeah it feels like making fun of their own lack of maturity instead of just maturing, they want people to laugh instead of judging but if they're doing problematic things then people should judge, that's how socialisation works
True. And he’s probably be the best damn turtle owner you’ve ever seen. Dude has a whole little terrarium for his turtle and everything. A garden for it too like the other fella said
@@Cameron-bz7jiEh, pretty sure every generation has its own slang that those prior think are infuriatingly dumb and those after will just roll their eyes at
I love this character so much because of how polite and relateable he is. He reminds me of one of my favorite professors. Of course, "You sound like a fucking idiot" may also be the funniest thing I've heard all day.
As a Zennial, these videos make me feel like the youngest Gen X person ever. Leave your dog at home (or at least in your own office) and learn language registers. Disclaimer: There was one time that a young faculty member bringing their dog to work made sense - the dog had been body-slammed by another dog while running on ice, had a spinal injury, and had to be constantly monitored. Doggo lived in the office during working hours for a while. But that's also known as extenuating circumstances.
Same.. 30 here, and I would follow this tenured fellow to the gates of Hell if it would rectify Melanie's on-campus behavior. I don't care if he's standing in the way of my own career aspirations, this shit's bigger than me. We're living in a society! We're supposed to act in a civilized way!
It's cuz they can hurt ur ears, but also I'm assuming he has bifocals and wearing them like that makes it so he can read using the part of the glasses meant for seeing closer, without having to be looking down. Does that make sense? I hope so
Not nearly as bad as the girl I knew who said all those, plus still used "tummy" to describe her stomach, unironically. I felt my skin crawl at that one.
Hey, "tummy" is perfectly valid, depending on the use. I don't tell someone my stomach hurts if it's the fat or the muscle on my abdomen that is bruised. That's my tumtum
That pause at the end, staring straight into my soul. Sir, I agree with you, and I only say "doggo" in the company of my children. Yet I feel I should apologize and change my behavior, lol
There was a time where accountability would be taken, the conversation would continue, and being tenured wouldn't be necessary to say these things. Let's bring about the best of both worlds in the near future.
I'm not tenured, but if I found out the lecturer before had a dog who went to the bathroom in the classroom, I would not hesitate to call them out. Even legitimate service dogs will be kicked out for doing that, no animal gets a free pass.
As someone who struggles with not beating myself up for *still* finding daily life as an adult exhausting and terrifying, this was not the content I needed today.
The callout is not the struggle but the lack of care in making your dogs shit other peoples problem, and trying to deflect it with ""cute"" pet talk and playing victim lmao
Picking up after your dog isn’t really in the “terrifying adult daily life” category. That’s what this skit was about. Also, once you become an adult, it’s not “adulting” anymore. It’s just life, and yeah, it can be hard.
Do any millennials actually talk like that though? I’m right on the Gen z/millennial cusp and I haven’t heard “doggo” unironically in years. And the inappropriate pets are not generational either, sadly
Something fun about the two likable characters is that the kid raised by his grandparents is very friendly and naïve while the tenured boomer professor has a tougher exterior but is still a considerate person
Academics refuse to have logical conversations about politics and philosophy in layman’s terms for a reason. All of the people who got their foot in the door after Jim Crow and the civil rights movement have been slandered, forced out, jailed, or just died of old age. Pretty much everything outside of stem is a husk to keep you busy or sympathetic to fascists, and stem is only funded to improve the machine. Good luck.
Mad respect to this man's patience. I don't mean the patience with her nonsense, I mean the patience to spend a few minutes layering on polite, circumspect manners and a gently indirect and compassionate approach so that when he finally called her a "f***ing idiot" it really had some bite.
Hey hey hey - adulting IS hard and my kitty and her beans help me a lot in dealing with the reality of that - though I do leave her at home and this is also not how I talk in a professional environment. But still prof, you didn’t need to call me/us out like that! 😂
I love that the boomer that helped raise a bunch of kids and didnt prepare them for the world also feels righteous in swinging on them. A+ material as always.
I’m almost 40, every doggo is a puppy, and my voice goes up a couple octaves whenever I see a precious puppy then instinctively yell, “Hi, puppy!” and wave to them
My name is Melanie....I have 4 dogs (3 smoll beans and one big doggo)...I can confirm that adulting is hard and that sometimes I sound like a f'ing idiot 😂😂
I despise it when people can't use any other word to describe a dog besides "doggo"... I'm not saying I've never said it myself, but people overuse the ever living hell out of it to the point where I start to sincerely question their intelligence. So I can highly relate to this video's ending!!! LMFAO 😂
the wildly broken glasses is so accurate lmaooo. my dad would just wear his glasses however he could see out of them best until he HAD to get a new pair. once, one of the arms was nearly on the top of his head and the other was below his opposite ear. I drove him to the eye doctor so they could adjust them without breaking them. (also Tenured Boomer Professor is a near carbon copy of my dad, so A+ work on nailing the boomer look lmaooo)
I usually like these skits cause they're very relatable and you usually know someone who fits the mold of the character, but this one doesn't do it for me. Never in my life have I met a millennial professor who would act like this. As someone who is currently in graduate school, there's not one of my colleagues who would be this immature. Maybe that's just me though 🤷♀
As an elder millennial who went back to university a few years ago, one thing I noticed is that every single one of my millennial professors stuffed their lectures full of old memes, even older slang, and 90's pop culture references. In other words, they did a thing.
TO BE FAIR. I only use words like smol bean and doggo among certain peers in informal situations. I'd never use them when talking to a colleague. Signed, person named Melanie.
The Tenured Boomer Professor is the type of lecturer I wish I had. To the point, respectful and actually gives good advice. Teddy and the professor are the shining beacons of light of the slapper verse
There's Zoey's reverse-harem as well. Those guys are wholesome 100 chungus doggo
i had a prof like him. would go on about his hippie days and his experiences with psychedelics. he was a chiller but was also still a ridiculously hard grader and gave out a lot of Cs.
Dude I would be crazy to watch Teddy and the professor meet. I would set aside prime time to watch it! Kinda wondering WHERE they could meet. Teddy is a reader so maybe the library?
“Slapper verse” that’s going in the history books 😂
"slapperverse" is a term that I believe we can all get behind!!
😁👍 good one!
I wanna see boomer professor put Average Redditor in his place
Real
Like the redditor goes in to just tell him he’s wrong and that college is a waste of money. Then he puts him in his place
This would be great!
redditor wouldnt go to university
In sense they did in this video. just a different kind of average redditor. the one who follows r/all or r/popular and have no front page curated for their own interests
I love how the tenured professor is polite and yet somehow straight to the point.
Is it hard to do that politely? I thought most people are usually raised to be respectful and concise.
@@justinshannon6016where I live I find it’s impolite and straight to the point, or polite but beats around the bush
You say somehow as if the two qualities are opposed. Not at all
He grew up in a time when people had to communicate more with each other
@@supersaiyanyoshi1175 I personally find it very impolite to just beat around the bush. If you can't say straight up what you need to say, then you're just wasting my time.
"You've been an adult for some time" may as well have been a knife through my heart. 😅
RIGHT? I have NOT!
Yeah I just turned 37 and ouch
I detest the word "adulting" so much it's unreal. don't get me wrong though, the world can get pretty overwhelming and shitty sometimes, and it's true that it expects many things from us that we aren't naturally inclined to do, but that word... man, I feel it just cheapens everything, ya know?
Meh I'm still a child mentally. Sue me.
@@sunsetman22 Yeah it feels like making fun of their own lack of maturity instead of just maturing, they want people to laugh instead of judging but if they're doing problematic things then people should judge, that's how socialisation works
He uno reversed us and made US the slappable jerk
ooooOOOO
He gaslight me because I didn't say the things he was responding to.
@@johnsmokin Yes you did, you jerk.
The tenured boomer professor seems like the kind of guy to own a turtle
BRO STRAIGHT ON
Yeah and he has a special garden on his back patio where he grows hibiscus for the turtle to eat.. 😂
True. And he’s probably be the best damn turtle owner you’ve ever seen. Dude has a whole little terrarium for his turtle and everything. A garden for it too like the other fella said
“You say adulting is hard and you’re 37 . . . You’ve been an adult for quite some time now.”
Emotional Damage
I love how he just gives off the vibes of a teacher talking to a regular student. Like, he just has that wisdom
Wisdom? More like condescending asshole lmao don’t tell me what to do unless you’re the department head
The boomer professor's hatred of millennial speak makes me feel so validated in my own hatred of millennial speak lol
And yet,it still has nothing on zoomer speak.
Hot take but millennial speak is worse @@ffwast
@@Cameron-bz7jiEh, pretty sure every generation has its own slang that those prior think are infuriatingly dumb and those after will just roll their eyes at
Millennial speak is fine, nothing comes even close to the gen z speak, coming from a zoomer myself
millenials have always had the worst lingo, but I would begrudgingly take back "rawr" and "smex" and "woot" over heckin' chonkerino
I love this character so much because of how polite and relateable he is. He reminds me of one of my favorite professors. Of course, "You sound like a fucking idiot" may also be the funniest thing I've heard all day.
I was ready for her to tell him that it was her "emotional support" dog. I really thought it was coming lol
oh god same hahaha
She even bought a vest that says “emotional support animal” in all caps
I lost it at "is this dog a service dog". The implication along with the manners make it a fantastic line
We need to have a “Brian goes to community college and gets mentored by Tenured Boomer Professor” arc
Brian would not qualify for any of the classes the Tenured Professor teaches
Damn-yo, when you ballin like a boss you don’t waste your life with stupid ish like college- duh. Quit talking crazy.
Now THIS I would love to see!
Or Elliot. Elliot is younger.
The dog NOT being a service dog is an amazing plot twist 😂😭
As a Zennial, these videos make me feel like the youngest Gen X person ever. Leave your dog at home (or at least in your own office) and learn language registers.

Love seeing this guy back. One of my favorite characters
The glasses get me EVERY TIME
SAME
It's cuz they can hurt ur ears, but also I'm assuming he has bifocals and wearing them like that makes it so he can read using the part of the glasses meant for seeing closer, without having to be looking down. Does that make sense? I hope so
they can hurt your ears too but it's mainly the sides of your head, if your head gets too fat. Don't ask me how I know, I'm only a gen x 😛
Its crazy how much this guy looks like eliot its kinda scary
On top of that, teddy,
I think theres something deeper going on...
Thank you boomer professor saying what we've all been feeling (coming from a millennial)
Yes- in addition to Doggo, PLEASE, people- “fur baby”has Got to Go!
Not nearly as bad as the girl I knew who said all those, plus still used "tummy" to describe her stomach, unironically. I felt my skin crawl at that one.
She wants Cummies on tummy uwu
Hey, "tummy" is perfectly valid, depending on the use. I don't tell someone my stomach hurts if it's the fat or the muscle on my abdomen that is bruised. That's my tumtum
That pause at the end, staring straight into my soul. Sir, I agree with you, and I only say "doggo" in the company of my children. Yet I feel I should apologize and change my behavior, lol
Boomer professor educating the average redditor please! Btw, keep up the good content.
To be fair.. I am 39.. and adulting is hard.. and yes, I am a fking idi0t 😂
There was a time where accountability would be taken, the conversation would continue, and being tenured wouldn't be necessary to say these things.

Those words should be said on the internet and nowhere else.
Devastating: The worst person you know just made an excellent point.
You're 37 an adult for quite a while now, that hits harder than the belt that made Melanie this way
As a millennial, we rarely ever got beaten by our parents. We just got beaten by the economy.
I have so much respect for this guy man
As someone who struggles with not beating myself up for *still* finding daily life as an adult exhausting and terrifying, this was not the content I needed today.
Rare Slappable Jerk L where he lives up to his name.
How old are you?
The callout is not the struggle but the lack of care in making your dogs shit other peoples problem, and trying to deflect it with ""cute"" pet talk and playing victim lmao
Wow imagine missing the point and making it about you
Picking up after your dog isn’t really in the “terrifying adult daily life” category. That’s what this skit was about.

Do any millennials actually talk like that though? I’m right on the Gen z/millennial cusp and I haven’t heard “doggo” unironically in years. And the inappropriate pets are not generational either, sadly
I'm on the Gen X / millennial cusp and I frequently hear both doggo and kiddo unironically from my peers
@@pickyyeeterThe kiddo one is extra creepy coming from condescending educators who don't have children themselves.
@@phantomkate6I've only ever heard kiddo be said by tbe childless teachers on tiktok, lol
Somebody had to say it
I literally have a millennial teacher named Melanie, who practically worships her dog.
“Single life 4eva!!”
When someone says "I don't want to make any accusations," they are 100% about to drop some pretty heavy accusations.
Honestly, tenured Professor is never out of line.
He is the type of teacher I strive to be
Why do you have to call out adjuncts of all professions? They got it tough!
You leave smol bean out of this.
I was about to defend the Millennials but then you reminded me of this & now I'm with Boomer professor
Something fun about the two likable characters is that the kid raised by his grandparents is very friendly and naïve while the tenured boomer professor has a tougher exterior but is still a considerate person
This is ridiculous! How do we know his student didn't poop under the desk!?
Currently at uni... I'd die for this guy to be my lecturer. New age academia is like nails on a chalkboard
Fmr sessional academic here, and I agree with you
Academics refuse to have logical conversations about politics and philosophy in layman’s terms for a reason.
All of the people who got their foot in the door after Jim Crow and the civil rights movement have been slandered, forced out, jailed, or just died of old age.

Love your content, keep it up boss!
Last part was real as fuck.
No way this dude isn’t a multi dimensional shapeshifter
Mad respect to this man's patience.
I don't mean the patience with her nonsense, I mean the patience to spend a few minutes layering on polite, circumspect manners and a gently indirect and compassionate approach so that when he finally called her a "f***ing idiot" it really had some bite.
Teddy and Tenured Professor give me hope!
If a professor says smol bean and doggo, that just means they're cultured
True, but it is good to adjust your language to the context and audience
Lol I worked at a place were people abused the service animal policy so badly they were expensing flight expenses for their service hamster 😅
One of my favorite characters ❤
Hey hey hey - adulting IS hard and my kitty and her beans help me a lot in dealing with the reality of that - though I do leave her at home and this is also not how I talk in a professional environment.
But still prof, you didn’t need to call me/us out like that! 😂
I love that the boomer that helped raise a bunch of kids and didnt prepare them for the world also feels righteous in swinging on them. A+ material as always.
I’m a millennial and I am genuinely not sure I will ever be able to let go of the word “doggo”, no matter how hard I try adulting.
I know, I just love my smol bean! anyone who doesn't use the word doggo is high-key sus
I’m almost 40, every doggo is a puppy, and my voice goes up a couple octaves whenever I see a precious puppy then instinctively yell, “Hi, puppy!” and wave to them
@@geobot9kthis is the appropriate response to seeing a puppy, regardless of the puppy’s age
Love this professor. Polite and based. Never misses 😂
Wait a minute....the tenured professor isn't Teddy in the future is he?
Honestly this character is 99% of why I keep coming back to this channel
The beautiful thing about Reddit is that there are such vocal users that I have never needed to sign up, or check it often.
didn't expect the ending lol.
these are soooo good
He told her how it is
My name is Melanie....I have 4 dogs (3 smoll beans and one big doggo)...I can confirm that adulting is hard and that sometimes I sound like a f'ing idiot 😂😂
I just want this guy to weigh in on all the problems in my life
That last line caught me off guard enough to make me laugh at work
The last part was def personal.
I really didn't enjoy repeatedly hearing my name in that tone ok. I'm 44, I kept having childhood flashbacks.
This may be my favorite character
The glasses looking like he got hit by a bike is on point.
He finally remembered he has tenure in those last few seconds and he doesn’t have to be civil if he doesn’t want to 😂
The punchline was perfect.
That punchline cracked me up.
Im not usually a fan of the boomer professor but that one was awesome 👏🏿
I’ll be honest, this is the least tenured boomer teacher thing. They are much much much worse than this.
Dude why is she just like my mom for real for real
This is the biggest attack towards the community he has ever made. This is truly our 9/11 v2.0.
Its like when people talk about their adult kids "the boy needs to make mistakes..." SIR HE'S 23, HE'S A GROWN MAN.
I despise it when people can't use any other word to describe a dog besides "doggo"...
I'm not saying I've never said it myself, but people overuse the ever living hell out of it to the point where I start to sincerely question their intelligence. So I can highly relate to this video's ending!!! LMFAO 😂
The boomer CAME BACK! GREAT!
Plot twist: one of the students pooped in the classroom and the dog is innocent
"You're 37." made me want to jump out of my skin lmao
I'm here for Stallone cuts old man.
Hes back:)
I have heard it once said, that the day you truly become an adult is the day you stop using the term, 'adulting.'
the wildly broken glasses is so accurate lmaooo. my dad would just wear his glasses however he could see out of them best until he HAD to get a new pair. once, one of the arms was nearly on the top of his head and the other was below his opposite ear. I drove him to the eye doctor so they could adjust them without breaking them. (also Tenured Boomer Professor is a near carbon copy of my dad, so A+ work on nailing the boomer look lmaooo)
I want to have a beer with this man.
Tenured boomer professor is who my unemployed dad thinks he is
Poor guy earned tenure to deal with this
love the tenured professor
I love him
i like this guy

I think you got lucky. I'm genuinely happy for you. Enjoy it, you are blessed.
+1 for the non-slappables.
I’ve never heard Melanie speak but she sounds like my old manager.
Melanie's far more slappable than the Boomer tenured professor
The adjunct is too unrealistic imo, unless this is like, art professors lmfao
not a fan when the other half of the conversation is missing
TO BE FAIR. I only use words like smol bean and doggo among certain peers in informal situations. I'd never use them when talking to a colleague.
Signed, person named Melanie.
This guy should meet Teddy PLEASE
Not the professor calling out then millennial slang NOOOOO XDDD
If this channel has taught me anything it's that we need to get all the redditors into PhD programs.
The viewers of this video going “are we the baddies?”
He's back...
Why are you making me side with the boomer? 😂
