It's weird. At face value it's less stupid than him feeling old, but the fact that he feels the need to tell people who were teenagers in 1985 that they're no longer teenagers is perhaps the dumbest compulsion he's ever had. Not only do they know they're adults, they adjusted to the fact over a decade ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-51763362743052251092011-11-05T23:29:55.702-07:002011-11-05T23:29:55.702-07:00the alt text made it seem more like a "omg i&...the alt text made it seem more like a "omg i'm old" joke than the comic itself did, I thoughtrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-68091137745727065082011-11-05T23:28:25.171-07:002011-11-05T23:28:25.171-07:00I didn't see this as another of Randall's ...I didn't see this as another of Randall's "I'm an ancient twentysomething, OMG can you believe I'm not a child anymore" strips. He wasn't in the MTV generation and nothing in here really references anything in his childhood. <br /><br />Mostly the comic is about Randall believing something about our culture that is just wrong. Nobody calls today's teenagers the MTV generation. People born after the 70s are all too young for the description and everyone knows it. I have no clue where Randall could possibly have heard anyone call today's youth the MTV generation, and I'm kind of afraid that he didn't actually hear it anywhere. <br /><br />I think this is just a retarded strawman, not rooted in reality, that was only constructed to set up an awful joke. This is one of the worst XKCD's ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
