In this episode, we’re diving into the fascinating world of generational humor, from the quirkiest old-school phrases to the memes Zillennials can’t stop sharing. We’ll explore why older and younger generations poke fun at each other and how these jokes reflect deeper cultural shifts. We’ll take a look at some of the most iconic sayings like “That’s the bee’s knees” and “Back in my day…” and break down why they’ve become comedic gold for younger generations. But it’s not all laughs! We’ll also discuss why these generational jabs often hide a desire for connection, respect, and even understanding. Let’s laugh, learn, and maybe even leave with a little more empathy for each other!
