I showed this skit to my parents - who were both born in the late 40s - and they agreed with everything. Myself, I’m glad I was born in the early 80s, before computers and such took over. Rotary phones, toys that didn’t light up or make noises, pen and paper, it was simpler but better in many ways.
I feel the same with you. 😄👍 I'm an early millenial (Gen Y) so I experienced the phone etc because my parents used them in the 80/90s. What a nice time to live...modern enough not to be uneducated, but also ancient enough to experience how fun it was to play and going through adventures outside the house every day. 😄❤
@@LadyVoldemort Yes, exactly! I’m on the younger end of the Millennials, but my siblings weren’t. Not to mention that our dad was a software engineer, so we were on the cutting edge of technology. I was using the internet before most people my age knew what the internet was! Remember the old days of dialup? And you had to make sure that nobody needed the phone line before you logged on? We had to share a TV with our siblings, and rainy days were spent playing together because we weren’t all absorbed in our personal devices? Though I’m sad to say that my brother’s kids actually LIKE playing outside… but neither of them knows how to ride a bike because there are no sidewalks in their neighborhood! Not to mention… they’ve got a nice sized yard and all, but it’s so empty! It’s not like we lived in a forest, but we had fourteen trees in our yard growing up… regardless of the fact that we lived in a suburb. Just going from the front yard to the back yard was enough to be completely removed from the world in a way! It still is at our house, honestly.
Haha we used computers in the 80s. I even had a portable computer I took to work. It was the size of a suitcase and was better than most desktop computers. It was affectionately called a “luggable”. And my martial arts senses had a portable phone. It was the size of a vhs tape - oops that is the length and width of a brick but half as thick.
I am a science teacher (yes, I really am) and I used a segment of this in class to explain how things have changed over the past 30 years. That and because this is hilarious material. Today, as a review, I asked my class to explain "natural selection" A student answered "The dumb ones didn't make it" I about died laughing
Same thing at a hospital. Back when nobody was allowed to have their cellphones up there, you’d run to the phone to answer if you were a patient because hospital rooms don’t have answering machines, and telemarketers don’t call the patient rooms at a hospital.
Brad Upton ! That was priceless. I haven't laughed this much in a while. Good show thank you... Just like cheech and chong, we all lived it, Life was so much simpler then. Remembering when my mom bought a princess pink phone with lighted number buttons , just incase ya had to make a call in the middle of the night.
I’m only 28, I can remember the house phone being on the wall, no caller ID. Our important numbers were in a brown leather book. Business numbers we kept on a Rolodex. I’m probably one of the youngest people who knows what a Rolodex is!
Remember the days where if you were watching something you had a few minutes to take a bathroom break, grab a snack, and rush back before it came back on.
Oh gosh, you know what? I just thought of this… how many of the younger twenty-somethings don’t know the struggle of a phone cord? I’m not talking about your cell phone being plugged in… I’m talking about phones having a cord that was MAYBE two feet long. When I was a grade schooler, the one cordless phone in the house was a big deal because you couldn’t walk around a room with the other phones, let alone walk around town! Cell service was expensive… almost nobody was willing to buy it for their kids unless they were rich. If you wanted to be on the phone for a while, you basically had to pull up a chair. Of course, the kids behind us are even worse. Those kids have grown up in a world where they don’t have to share ANYTHING. When we were kids, we had to fight for the right to choose the TV channel, use the computer, and use the phone/internet (because you couldn’t use both at the same time). Our parents didn’t get involved if they could help it either. That was how we learned to resolve conflicts amongst ourselves. But kids nowadays… oy. They have high-speed internet, streaming services, and they all have their own tablets! They don’t have to share anything! The concept of negotiating, compromising, and competing with your siblings for scarce resources just doesn’t exist in their minds! It’s kind of sad… back in the 90s, kids who didn’t have to share were either rich and spoiled or an only child.
The best part of the comments is all the triggered Millennials! Sorry, kids. You will never be as cool as your elders. We had the 70s and 80s. You will never beat that.
@@emerson21962 Same then, hello fellow legit millenial! Some post millenial kids often call themselves millenials and call us boomers...which was quite laughable IMO. They forgot to Google it first before making the term "derogatory". 😄
California is a circus. Nothing about cali surprises me. Walking down the sidewalk and suddenly need to poop? No worries. Just squat and 💩 right where you are.

I about died laughing
😂 that's great
🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a biology undergraduate and a public health graduate, Your student wasn’t wrong….
This guy has perfect delivery, expressions, and comedic pauses. Oh, and he’s hilarious.
You ran to the phone, but it was NEVER a telemarketer.
ONLY at Dinner Time

It was my teacher
Numbers you stored in your head!!! Always knew who to call if you were ever arrested!!!
They don’t know what that means, they don’t know what that means…. Classic fly over the head joke!
I cant get enough of this guy....
"OMG I think there's someone in the house!!" His expression killed me😂😂😂😂
Couple of Monsters and a Red Bull is gonna pick up that bingo game! 😜 Phones are smart - we’re not!
If phones are so smart why do we have to tell it what to do????
Smart people need directive.
😂 He nails it every time!

Impressive!
@@zagron999
Even more impressive - but did you have one with all the business numbers on them though?
@@ItsNotRealLife my grandmother did lol she used to use it all the time xD!
Congratulations, do you want a medal for that?
Enemy aircraft, 2o'clock. Millennial head on a swivel. Haha Haha!!
Remember the days where if you were watching something you had a few minutes to take a bathroom break, grab a snack, and rush back before it came back on.
Lol 😂
When I was younger LOL stood for Little Old Lady.
The record player!!!! Tape a penny, nickel, quarter to the arm to stop it from skipping!!!
I was born in 93 so there was still just enough time to experience the end of a good area and the transition into things getting really dumbed down
There is a sign at Ramsey's Restaurant that says, " No WiFi. Talk to each other." Love that place.
I am 61 years old and it's all true.
I remember the number on my house. It was 290
I'm 43 and you're right
Damn, my number was
715-6515 then 425-1608. Then we had to dial the area code, I was pissed.
58 here SLAM goes the phone!!!
Great hidden gem
That last joke was gold

I'm a millenial, but I know about the phone and reading a clock
I'm a millenial aka Gen Y too, of course I know them too. 😅
Or did you mean post millenial aka Gen Z?
Nope I'm a legit Millenial. People just confuse us with Gen Z

Awesome!
Ha ha, some uncomfortable laughter from the 20 somethings in the audience.
In California if you are in an emergency situation and cant talk on the phone (home intruder and you're hiding) you can text 911.
Stephanie Jackson only in California
California is a circus. Nothing about cali surprises me. Walking down the sidewalk and suddenly need to poop? No worries. Just squat and 💩 right where you are.
Californians also call guys girls so...
Of course only in California
@@varangiantactical8843 that doesn't even make sense.
It didn’t bounce, it shattered! Gotta catch that the first time! Peace!
pretty sure some of this was george carlins material
yes!
Sooooo true
They don't know what that means, skip, skip, skip. LMFAO
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Amen
He looks like a podesta brother
Idk who a podestor bro is, but I think he looks like the old man from "up" only much more funny!
Fuck I am feeling old now :S
Is it bad that I get to play with guns knives and fireworks even so that it's 2018?
W.O.W.

Baby boomer is the best generation, I think.
