We've moved into boomer territory when we joke that kids today don't get a joke older than the actual kids today

The people who wrote the culture war Boomer vs Millennial articles and are all the rising stars of MAGA.

And why are they always playing games?

Oh fuck me. For a moment I started to think "no. Married with Children was already over 23 years ago" then I quickly realized that holy shit, Futurama is already over 23 years old.

And the reference is a show that ran until 1997. So a small slice of the audience was too young at the time.

And when did the MWC episode air?

[–] samus12345 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which one? The final episode aired on June 9, 1997.

I assumed it was a shot for shot parody of an episode. Guess it could just as easily be of all of them.

Oh, no, it was a common scene that indeed could have been any of them.
