I'm a substitute teacher in a high school and last semester I showed my classroom Johnny 5. There was not a laughter or smile in sight. Not at the funny robot. The wacky situations. The funny indian guy. At the end, after it was over, one of the zoomers turned around and said as dryly as possible: "That was really funny." But he never laughed at all. I wonder what the new generation finds funny, or if they are really just humorless drones.
>bitter millennial
They're on tiktok. Humor moved online.
That and there is no novelty anymore; something else goes viral every five minutes. They’re being fed with a firehose
>tiktok humor
Just a rehash of millennial youtube poop humor without the SOVL
This is your generation's fault for not safeguarding us. You get what you pay for
Those terms refer to Americans. No one gives a shit what's going on in your shitty country esl.
They only watch TikToks or something. They're the weirdest generation to currently exist. 50% of them workout at the gym yet they're all sexless prudes. They find sex scenes in movies or tv cringe yet love to jerk off over facial abuse/legalporno tier pornography in their private time. They like giving out money to 'streamers' in some strange parasocial relationship. They are just fricking weird people.
I'd hardly call zoomers sexless. They're the complete opposite, they're hypersexual. They spend a stupid amount of time worrying about their appearance, like, two haircuts a week and constantly buying clothes tier, obsessing over gym culture and regurgitating Tate style advice about le grind and women. There's immense pressure to get laid as soon as possible that legitimately didn't exist 10, 20 years ago.
My ass in HS was only worried about playing football. Everything else happened naturally.
>My ass in HS was only worried about playing football.
Fricking jock.
>indian guy
Anon. I...
Go away ranjeet.
Omg a zany robot! XD that’s so random!!!!1!!
I think it has to do with their teachers.
Some of them are really out of their minds at this point.
We need a sweep for mental illness.
Op is a rare teacher who's not trying to turn them in to trannies and you attack him for it.
You understand that a group can be referred to without referring to every individual in that group, yes?
I mean, I don't care that your a socialist, but the government didn't hire you so you could teach kids about socialism.
You aren't comparing your ideas objectively, you obviously favor one over the other but are deciding which can and can't be taught. People are going to get upset if the parents communities do not agree with the ideology you are teaching, and because education is mandatory, its going to leave a sour taste in their mouths.
that the state gets to teach what ideologies are taught can at times make parents furious.
The purpose of an education is not to teach an ideology, its to teach subjects objectively, to discuss facts and rhetoric, math, science, history, these aren't meant to be political battlegrounds.
Should have shown them Beautiful Dreamer instead.
I liked the sequel better as a kid.
Kino
I think they are a unique combination of braindead and cynical.
They don't have such pleasant homelife, but they have very short attention spands because they are bombared with media. So your corny shit probably seems hopelessly saccharine to them, but they probably couldn't follow it anyway.
and previous generations felt that way about us, about our media and what was happening, and they were right, of course, its been going on for a long time.
Watching cartoons on Saturday is fundamentally different than allowing your kid unfettered access to hard core pornography.
I was at a family get together and all the under-10 year olds were watching these videos on YouTube. They thought they were hilarious and knew all the videos.

>>I'm a substitute teacher in a high school
>Ends sentences with prepositions
Now I see why someone is only a substitute.
The bar is way lower than imperfect grammar. At this point you’re lucky if they can tie their own shows.
you guys cant tie your own shows?
> I’m a substitute teacher in a high school, butthole.
Better?
Fricking loser
Worse actually, since that wasn't your mistake.
>Zoomers have NO sense of humor of which to speak.
That's better
Sure, there's nothing "wrong" with it just like there's nothing wrong with wearing a graphic t-shirt. Just don't expect me to take you seriously if you do.
Why do you spend so much time worrying about what other men wear? Does it have something to do with enjoying dicks in your booty?
>booty
Black person
>Black person
Nice projecting right there.
Okay describe what is wrong with ending a sentence with a preposition - describe the reasons you were taught this rule. You won’t be able to without looking them up because you just spew what you think smart people say. The “rule” or guidance is based on Latin moron, not English. Even Strunk & White were okay with this.
>Even Strunk & White were okay with this.
Frasier and Niles Crane aren't so neither am I
Kek only the most abject pseuds think that Frazier was a smart show. Entertaining but not intellectual whatsoever.
You sound like a huge homosexual
Haha, imagine being a substitute government stooge.
>Thinks 'school' is a preposition
Modern teachers everyone
There is nothing wrong with ending a sentence with a preposition. Reciting this “rule” is the mark of a pseud.
You’re dealing with an entire generation of children that have been raised as adults on the internet by disinterested selfish millennial “parents”. Imagine what watching videos of people dying and people fricking in every imaginable way does to a fricking 10 year old. Of course they’re fricking jaded, their childhoods gave them PTSD. Keep that in mind the next time you hand your five year old your phone to shut him up.
They were afraid you were trying to catch them laughing at racist jokes or try to ram some "moral lesson" down their throats. Or maybe they were doing a try not to laugh challenge.
>being boring ass substitute teacher that literally just puts on a movie and does nothing else
>wonder why kids in your class zone out and aren't engaged
>entire generation of kids hooked mood correcting drugs and mentally ill ideology of depression and victimisation
>went through two years of repressive fascistic regime that micromanaged their every step and scared them to death

Just shut the frick up.
Did you have to scan your QR code to make this post?
Unless it’s inside your mothers butthole and my wiener is the scanner then no, why do you ask?
he's talking about covid lockdown bullshit that was really only a thing in dem areas
>that was really only a thing in dem areas
It was a thing in pretty much every "developed" part of the world.
I lived in the 6th most populated city in the country and most people ignored it.
The world exists outside of muttland
The communist world of China and EU went turbobootlick for Big Pharma.
Don't forget Australia
Why does he remove his knee from the neck so soon? Proper police training tells you to continue leaning there for over a minute.
Who knows. They just do what they want.
I'm in brooklyn in a major israelite area, the israelites got shit early on in lockdowns for not paying attention to any of the masking and social distancing stuff and apparently my area had a "severe" level of covid cases yet I didn't know anyone who got it (i'm non-israelite and don't interact with them at all). regardless, everything in New York was gay as frick with vaccine passes and all that and announcements about getting boosted on the subway made by fricking akwafina and that basketball israelite wigger with herpes on his face
went to florida a few times during peak covid stuff and they never gave a shit about covid regulations and were much better off for it
Awee, here we have a footsoldier of a regime embarassed by his own past.
You did it to these kids, friendo.
that did it to them: huh, why aren't these kids laughing
op isn't an old politician.
You showed them the sequel first?
You dumbass.
The picture is from the first movie, dumb frick.
Uhhh that would be Johnny 1 dumb dumb
The "first sequel" would be the 2nd movie. Frickwit.
You said first movie not first sequel
Christ your fricking dumb you can’t even keep up with your own moronic muttering
Op showed the kids the first movie, that other homosexual then asked if he showed them the sequel first, for some reason.
Because Johnny 5 is a sequel to Johnny 1
You know that John Wick 4 is a sequel to John Wick right?
I feel like I’m talking to a literal moron.
Your reddit jokes aren't funny
stephanieeeee there's dark skin ones outside stephanieeee input input need more input
>But he never laughed at all
And? Stop being a manchild, he said it's funny.
>Johnny 500 if they knew the truth.
That movie always sucked.
I have been teaching highschool for 5 years, they have a sense of humor, but they aren't going to be interested in some movie from the 80s.
Also they are teenagers that have grown up with direct access to any type of media they want. I remember being 10 and having ahard time trying to sneak watch a rated R movie. These kids can easily watch hardcore gang bang porn at that age without anyone knowing.
That's a movie for eight year olds, brudder.
Johnny 5 wasnt even the funniest of movies back when I watched it as a kid in the 90s.
We didn't think Short Circuit was funny when it was new. I don't remember anybody laughing in the cinema. My friends and I took it seriously and thought Johnny 5 was cool.
>"That was really funny."
OP got blown the frick out by some high school kids top kek
When I was in high school one of the boomer teachers showed us one of the Herbie movies and the entire class was silent. He didn't get why we didn't find it funny. Exact same shit playing out.
OP realizing he's out of touch old geezer and it frightens him.
Short Circuit is great mate. You don’t know what you’re saying.
I think the common mistake is showing kid's movies to highschoolers.
Are you fricking stupid? Of course they're not going to like that. Highschoolers are all about posturing about how grown up they are.
You need to show them something that feels like it's for adults, but is basically juvenile, like Pulp Fiction.
> I think the common mistake is showing kid's movies to highschoolers.
Unless it’s Harry Potter right?
When I was 15, the least cool thing in the world was Harry Potter. Even Star Wars was borderline gay.
>be zoomer kids
>boomer sub teacher comes along
>keeps telling us how good the old days were
>keeps telling us these weird jokes that make no sense
>shows us some old ass movie while he historically laughs and weezes
>none of the lads are laughing
frfr + L movie + you fell off + don't reply
I'm sorry everyone in this thread are acting like homosexuals. It's a good movie.
>parents let their zoomer kids watch mega-ADHD ULTRA FAST COLORFUL (also degenerate soft-core erotic) trash videos, as long as they stop being annoying
>do this until the zoomers are 12 years old, effectively frying their dopamine receptors
>WHY ARE KIDS SO WEIRD NOWDAYS? ALWAYS ON THEIR PHONES, NEVER STOP TO LE SMELL THE FLOWERS, THEIR LE CHILDHOOD IS SAD AND HORRIBLE COMPARED TO OURS AAAAAAAA
Give us the clip.
I'm 21 and I remember this fondly, but then again stuff like this was completely different here in central Yurop. Movies like these were exotic and therefore funnier in some weird way, kinda like Monty Python
I think they just have been given a different sense of humor with the latest wave of media.
Personally I don't think it's funny as it's just them being quippy. In fact it does remind me a lot of the marvel movies.
Zoomers though? They're probably into random things or celebrities. Something funny for them would be something they can repeat like a meme to their friends or mockery of someone else.
They probably thought your movie was horrible and are judging you for picking it.
t. Was classmate of zoomies for a long time.
Honestly regardless of age, growing up with actual interests and then realising everybody around you has no real interests besides celeb drama and working out is deeply harrowing.
Yeah they're soulless robots. They like to shit on other people. Maybe if it was something horny then they will be quiet and praise the movie. They're bug people honestly.
And I know one of those Black folk is going to come here and say that's not true. They're the most double faced people I have ever seen. And the only ones who are worse were the ones who raised them.
Shit on boomers as much as you like, but at least they have some good media to consume. Millennial media is a lot harder to find good content in.
You’re getting pretty worked up about Short Circuit there kemosabe. Lemme guess, r/trans hasn’t opened back up and you don’t know what to do with yourself?
Gen y didn't raise zoomers.
Talking to a normie girl that likes reality tv and celeb drama is kinda funny and weird at the same time
Sisters amirite?
they're not my kids they're not my problem i literally couldn't care less about generations. I had/have motherfricking fun out here holmes.
People under 20 are generally really stupid, OP. They usually only laugh at things like farts or butts.
The same thing would have happened if you showed kids in 80s a movie from the 50s you dipstick.
>teacher
Leave them kids alone.
I watched a movie from the 60s in high school in the 90s and THOROUGHLY enjoyed it, it moved me (parts of me anyway)
Shut the frick up homosexual. He should have just made them read out loud from the text book.
And it's still 100x more entertaining than most of the goyslop that is being served up these days
They are dead inside from all the porn they can access from early age, their joy receptives are fried.
