Really though we made better inventions that are more helpful and useful then what we used to have. Doing that is like saying that using a lighter to light a fire is not a better option to manually started a fire by useing rocks or sticks
That is very true. A map could be helpful to have in your car just in cas your phone died or the GPS didn’t have good connection. It’s not a necessary thing you need to know since you have other technology
“They should be ashamed in themselves because they were the ones who were supposed to teach us this stuff in the first place” Exposing boomers in one sentence
Lol, the answer they always give is 'but at a certain age it's your responsibility to teach these things to yourself' I say this out of experience. They actually say that. Like your childhood doesn't affect your fucking adulthood. 'What's that, never learned to read? Well you're 25 years old, it's your fault, idiot.'
Boomer do complain about a lot of the problems with younger generations when they themselves are at fault when you think about it. They didn’t keep their children in line or teach them stuff that could be useful to them and the boomers are sometimes the ones that make it difficult for younger generations to get a job because of their old timey thinking
I'd like to see Ellen and her staff operate a medieval trebutchet correctly and in a timely fashion. Like, what the actual fuck is the point in making fun of someone for not knowing how to use obsolete technology? It's literally completely pointless.
Yeah that struck me as odd, Ellen has gotten so stuck up lately. She didn't even ask her about her business or compliment her she just went right to " oh do you know what a map is? Even her scare videos have gotten a bit meaner.
Dylan Cole some closer sources says she’s a sadist; she loves making people feel bad about themselves. She also apparently yells at that wife of hers, all the time.

Yup. She even made that seem like it was a joke too. If that girl is only 17 and she has found a passion and a way to be her own boss and make her own money, then she is going places. Boomers could never

salami you can hate on the rotary phone but if the power goes out, all your portable phones and cell phones (once the batteries die) are done. Those rotary phones just need a landline. No power required. So when the end of the world happens, the only person with a rotary phone will be the last one laughing 😂
Ellen or nobody in that audience actually believes that this girl is dumb and lazy because she cant use boomer technology. This comment section is manufacturing outrage out of its own mind. Ellen and her audience is fully aware that these old technologies are outdated and useless today, she even joked about it right at the beginning. Ellen starts with talking about Encyclopedias, how they were these giant books that everyone used to have, but they completely disappeared nowadays because internet makes it so easy to get that information. She said that she wanted to know more about what happened to the encyclopedias, so she googled it. *audience laughs*. Ellen finds out that set of encyclopedias cost 800 dollars today and she jokes that you can get them at 100% off because encyclopedias are outdated and its all available on the internet for free. convinietly that part is taken out of this video.
I just find it so hilarious that they make fun of “millennials” saying about participation trophies, but who came up with the idea of handing them out? 😂
Honestly, unless you were doing a highly advanced activity that requires hard work and dedication regardless (like an advanced martial arts tournament for kids, where you had to spends hours training to compete), getting a participation trophy typically was a sign of failure. Like, congratulations, all you did was be there. Everything you did was done badly.
The video was so annoying to watch. The teen basically knew everything but even if she didn’t, so what? Stop pushing obsolete things on kids and saying “Woow you can’t even use it” when they pick more useful tools.
It reminds me of a comment I read somewhere of a man complaining about young Victorians being so reliant on paper and not knowing how to use a slate without getting covered in chalk dust.

Abby how are we supposed to know how to use something they no one use anymore? Rotary phone doesn’t work in my country for a very long time now, of course I’ve never touch one even before.
She realizes that even 2000’s kids grew up without internet and phones for a while right ? Like we actually had to go outside to play before everything became so advanced

''A lot of young people don't know how to read a clock anymore'' So were the math exercises regarding reading digital and manual clocks exclusive to my school orrrrrrr?
I can read clocks just fine. But a lot of the clocks in my high school are broken. Combine that with my shitty eyesight and BAM! You get hell. (Reading clocks is such a pain in the butt)
I love how she just interrupts her at 4:24 “Alright Marley, Alright, nobody here cares you’re an entrepreneur the point here is to make you look incompetent”
I teach my first grade students how to read an analog clock. It's on their state mandatory test. 😂 Also because I see people talking about it all the time, students also learn how to write in cursive in 3rd grade here. Fun fact that has nothing to do with the video, the school pizza is also still shaped like a square and has tiny cubed pepperoni. 🍕
TheRealRevelation many students these days can not read a clock because they’re used to finding digital times. I’ve had kids ask before or my students this year just use the time on the thermostat.
@@Space-Glitter 😆😆😆 I've forced my kids to read my Eagles clock to tell time! So they learned the old fashion way before they could read numbers (and ya, i taught them how to tell time on a sundial also!)😆
I didn’t stare at it like art in high school, I stared at it like ancient art from long before my time. So mysterious, so useful yet basic and outdated. To this day I could never read the numbers, the ancient language always taunted me and I never understood why one hand was shorter than the other. Man, thank god I have my iPhone 11, I would have never lasted in the old days.
This aged SO well. Our boy Scott called this woman's downfall like Nostra-freakin'-damus. Turns out that if you just assume Ellen isn't joking when she's doing these bits, then you know exactly what it's like to work with her.
@H.I.M Nice sarcasm but visceral fear is a common term, referring to a fear or feeling that is deep down. It was necessary in this sentence, not thrown in to seem smart.
@@diavolosteddy7594 It just means deep down c: Visceral refers to the gut, so it often means a "gut feeling." So he means the shot itself is scary without having to really think of the meaning behind it, its just scary emotionally
"a lot of kids don't use clocks anymore?" She knows that there is a clock in almost every classroom and kids stare at it to see when they get out. So they definitely know how to use a clock.
idk, when i was in eighth grade (6 years ago) i had kids ask me what time it was in class because they couldnt read the analog clock. but even so, thats a failing of the education system imo, not haha stoopid millennial
The meanest part is that rotary phones can't dial out any more. Their dial tone isn't recognized by modern telecom providers' technology. A rotary phone can receive a call but it can't place one. Even if she had done every step correctly, the phone call never would have gone through because phones run off touch tones now, not pulse tones. She was set up to fail from the start.
They're the type of people to tell you to do something and when you say you don't know how, they get mad at you or laugh instead of teaching you, as if you're supposed to automatically know how to do everything
@@Green-fg4ng actually astrolabes were scientific instruments specifically used by astronomers and navigators. i doubt anyone else would know how to use one. also sundials predate astrolabes
Refolding a map correctly has ALWAYS been known as a challenging task. Sitcoms have made countless jokes about it for years before Internet maps became commonplace.
honestly the comedey move would be to give up and ask Ellen to show how it's done because as Scot himself points out she would likely hillariously fail herself as well.
Yea I think it's absolutely hysterical everytime I see a boomer complaining about "ok booker" when they've been shitting on "millenials" (calling anyone who's younger than them a millenial and misusing it) for years. It's about time there was a clapback.
The worst part about Ellen's dumb jokes like "have you even seen one of these before???" is that you can't possibly give a good response. She's obvi asking rhetorically as a joke, so you can't just answer the question, and she'll get pissy if you actually make a joke back at her, so you're forced to just giggle awkwardly.
I love how she joked about how millennials always get participation awards when it's her generation that started giving millennials participation awards in the first place. What a class act.
Don't you know that Millenials raised themselves and came up with all their own education, beliefs and values all by themselves? Pretty impressive when you think about it ;)
Jeremy Merrett do you hear her @4:12 how she said "what!? what kind of business do you have" and laughed a little? she couldn't even say it with a straight face, super rude
Boomers really be making fun of us for not knowing how to use rotary phones and other outdated tech, but we're pretty patient when we're teaching them how to send an e-mail or whatever.
Ellen, we weren’t born yesterday. My family had a yellow pages book, I don’t know anybody who can’t read a clock, maps are pretty hard to fold back up, libraries still have encyclopedias, and a good amount of people that didn’t grow up with a rotary phone have probably played with one of the very popular plastic rotary phones.
Oh_Hi_It’s_Me I actually met a girl who couldn’t tell time on a clock! (She just turned 17) said they never taught her in school. But then another 16 year old told me she could so who knows
@@yumiuzumakiuchiha My nieces are in grade school and they're learning how to tell time on clocks with hands. It's safe to assume everyone has been taught it, but if you don't use it or care I suppose we can forget anything.
I live in an absolute shit hole, so the poor education here definitely affects it, but I know several people who can't read a clock. My school didn't have digital clocks though and I've seen kids ask, and have been asked, to read the time for them. It's pretty frequent in my area
That's why they probably asked her to act like she doesn't know how to "use" these items between cuts, bet. I mean she *definitely* looked like she knew what they WERE..... so why would she NOT know how to "use them"??
Yeah, she even knew how to turn the dial on the phone. Ppl still have home phones. There's no reason why she wouldn't actually know she had to pick it up.
idekwhattoput facts tf. what you think we do in class? learn? no bitch we watch the fucking clock(yea we know what a clock is, ellen) to see how many fucking more minutes until we can go home.
One of my co-workers said her kid’s elementary school got rid of analog clocks because the kids couldn’t read them. Kinda stunned me to hear that. But I mean, it makes sense and no need to freak out over it imo.
👁 Agreed. Especially when 90% of the people they are calling boomers are not boomers. They are just too unoriginal to come up with their own insults. The millennials was pretty much just as bad in that you had people who were millennials themselves calling younger people millennials, apparently they never really looked to see when the whole millennial generation started. I guarantee someone won’t even be able to resist the urge to call me a boomer for writing this.
Being a business owner at 17 is FAR more impressive than knowing how to use a rotary phone. Ellen really needs to reach to feel better about herself and her age
I clicked on this video because I thought I recognized Marley because she lives in my neighborhood and so I know her little zipper pouches. They’re really good quality zipper pouches and she has been making them as long as I’ve known her so I think that’s so much more impressive than anything Ellen could think of.
Next challenge: everyone else in the audience has to install an internet browser, sign in to their email, add 5 contacts to their address book, and compose an email to those contacts. Judging by the look of the audience, I’m guessing no more than 15% would pass.
Exactly. They probably couldn't do even basic tasks like that. But people shouldn't be judged if they can't. Which is exactly why this is stupid. Older people didn't grow up with newer technology just like this kid didn't grow up using a rotary phone.
KRATS 8 honestly, I think it’s more judgement worthy than what she had to do in the video because those are actually things that are valuable knowledge for today
As someone who uses an email provider that I've literally never seen someone else use/have (besides my family of course), the composing (well I assume actually _sending,_ simply composing one would be as easy as going to Notes and writing it out) of an email is damn near impossible if I had to do it through Contacts. I'm an adult now and I still don't know how to set my email up on the email app on my phone. (Previously my dad did it once on an old iPod but then when we had to redo it later we couldn't manage, lol.) I just email through the browser, and you can't link your contacts to that.
Told ya not having human interaction would suck.

The most "OK Boomer" thing of the whole video is Ellen calling her a millennial when she is clearly Generation Z.
YES OMGGG it irked me that she just labels gen z as “millennials”
evvence ok boomer
She's like 7 years into gen z, she's not even on the edge
I figured it was the shrieking pack of gibbons they were using as an audience.
Every young person is a millenial to boomers.
It’s almost like technology has evolved and we don’t need a phone book, a map, and a rotary phone.
Really though we made better inventions that are more helpful and useful then what we used to have. Doing that is like saying that using a lighter to light a fire is not a better option to manually started a fire by useing rocks or sticks
That is very true. A map could be helpful to have in your car just in cas your phone died or the GPS didn’t have good connection. It’s not a necessary thing you need to know since you have other technology
The same people that can't use a gps or a smartphone today make fun of kids for not knowing things of their time ...
Rotary phone and phone books sure, but maps? Yeah maps are needed my guy

“They should be ashamed in themselves because they were the ones who were supposed to teach us this stuff in the first place”
Exposing boomers in one sentence
Lol, the answer they always give is 'but at a certain age it's your responsibility to teach these things to yourself' I say this out of experience. They actually say that. Like your childhood doesn't affect your fucking adulthood.
'What's that, never learned to read? Well you're 25 years old, it's your fault, idiot.'
Boomer do complain about a lot of the problems with younger generations when they themselves are at fault when you think about it. They didn’t keep their children in line or teach them stuff that could be useful to them and the boomers are sometimes the ones that make it difficult for younger generations to get a job because of their old timey thinking
Sometimes the boomers who are teachers don’t teach the students the skills they need to know
They cause some of the problems with younger generations but not all
The audience of entirely white boomers and middle aged women cackling and pointing at this poor teenager just seems incredibly cruel

Ellen or nobody in that audience actually believes that this girl is dumb and lazy because she cant use boomer technology. This comment section is manufacturing outrage out of its own mind.
Ellen and her audience is fully aware that these old technologies are outdated and useless today, she even joked about it right at the beginning. Ellen starts with talking about Encyclopedias, how they were these giant books that everyone used to have, but they completely disappeared nowadays because internet makes it so easy to get that information. She said that she wanted to know more about what happened to the encyclopedias, so she googled it. *audience laughs*. Ellen finds out that set of encyclopedias cost 800 dollars today and she jokes that you can get them at 100% off because encyclopedias are outdated and its all available on the internet for free. convinietly that part is taken out of this video.

Honestly, unless you were doing a highly advanced activity that requires hard work and dedication regardless (like an advanced martial arts tournament for kids, where you had to spends hours training to compete), getting a participation trophy typically was a sign of failure. Like, congratulations, all you did was be there. Everything you did was done badly.

Oh_Hi_It’s_Me I actually met a girl who couldn’t tell time on a clock! (She just turned 17) said they never taught her in school. But then another 16 year old told me she could so who knows
@@yumiuzumakiuchiha My nieces are in grade school and they're learning how to tell time on clocks with hands. It's safe to assume everyone has been taught it, but if you don't use it or care I suppose we can forget anything.
I live in an absolute shit hole, so the poor education here definitely affects it, but I know several people who can't read a clock. My school didn't have digital clocks though and I've seen kids ask, and have been asked, to read the time for them. It's pretty frequent in my area
I'm currently 14 and learned to when I was 7-8, it depends if the "boomers" teach you instead of complaining about how you dont know.
They still drop a phone book at our house once or twice a year
girl: [knows what everything is]
ellen: w-wait, THIS ISNT HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO WORK
That's why they probably asked her to act like she doesn't know how to "use" these items between cuts, bet.
I mean she *definitely* looked like she knew what they WERE..... so why would she NOT know how to "use them"??
@@TheMindofagenius1 aah i hadnt thought of that but that seems highly likely.
Yeah, she even knew how to turn the dial on the phone. Ppl still have home phones. There's no reason why she wouldn't actually know she had to pick it up.

“a lot of young ppl can’t tell time from clocks anymore”
yeah has ellen ever been inside a school
Lol I know like 1 or 2 people that can't read an analog clock, and it's because they're actual idiots.
Half of my grade doesn't know how to read an analog clock, but then again they're dumb as hell
At my school during daylights saving they NEVER update the clocks..
idekwhattoput
facts tf. what you think we do in class? learn? no bitch we watch the fucking clock(yea we know what a clock is, ellen) to see how many fucking more minutes until we can go home.
One of my co-workers said her kid’s elementary school got rid of analog clocks because the kids couldn’t read them. Kinda stunned me to hear that. But I mean, it makes sense and no need to freak out over it imo.

Also Scott: Why are the lights green?
People calling boomers, "boomers" as an insult was the natural reaction to them calling us milenials as an insult...
EXACTLYYYY, they are all up and arms about it yet they don’t see their own hypocrisy
LITERALLY
@👁 ok boomer
👁 Agreed. Especially when 90% of the people they are calling boomers are not boomers. They are just too unoriginal to come up with their own insults.
The millennials was pretty much just as bad in that you had people who were millennials themselves calling younger people millennials, apparently they never really looked to see when the whole millennial generation started.
I guarantee someone won’t even be able to resist the urge to call me a boomer for writing this.
@@mcearl8073 ok boomer.
Being a business owner at 17 is FAR more impressive than knowing how to use a rotary phone. Ellen really needs to reach to feel better about herself and her age
screw 17 she was running the business since she was like 7

ellen is jealous she isn’t successful off of peoples suffering
I clicked on this video because I thought I recognized Marley because she lives in my neighborhood and so I know her little zipper pouches. They’re really good quality zipper pouches and she has been making them as long as I’ve known her so I think that’s so much more impressive than anything Ellen could think of.
Next challenge: everyone else in the audience has to install an internet browser, sign in to their email, add 5 contacts to their address book, and compose an email to those contacts. Judging by the look of the audience, I’m guessing no more than 15% would pass.
Exactly. They probably couldn't do even basic tasks like that. But people shouldn't be judged if they can't. Which is exactly why this is stupid. Older people didn't grow up with newer technology just like this kid didn't grow up using a rotary phone.
membou 15% is being too generous
KRATS 8 honestly, I think it’s more judgement worthy than what she had to do in the video because those are actually things that are valuable knowledge for today
I sincerely hope we live up to our distaste.
We have a hard road ahead of us, as much as we like to laugh about it.
As someone who uses an email provider that I've literally never seen someone else use/have (besides my family of course), the composing (well I assume actually _sending,_ simply composing one would be as easy as going to Notes and writing it out) of an email is damn near impossible if I had to do it through Contacts. I'm an adult now and I still don't know how to set my email up on the email app on my phone. (Previously my dad did it once on an old iPod but then when we had to redo it later we couldn't manage, lol.) I just email through the browser, and you can't link your contacts to that.
"she exclusively uses encyclopedias" she just like me fr
I can confirm that every single one of those women in the audience name is Karen.
You'd have to have been in that audience to make that assumption...
*Karen confirmed* 😳
Definitely☝️😏
You're forgetting that some people who act like Karens can also be named Tammy, Angela, and Barb
i swear they're paid actors, nobody would laugh like that without dingling a pack of money in front of their faces
