My 15 year old says that the Bernie meme is for old people and we ruin everything FYI. I disagree, but I guess that tracks too.

This is 100% correct. Good lord, that was funny for like five minutes before the internet ruined it by cranking out 200,000,000 cringey variations.

You mean to suggest that a 15yo is unimpressed by a meme that leverages 20+ year old pop culture references?

Your 15 y/o might be an outlier because I have seen this blow up on meme pages that are typically targetting the 12-25 y/o audience

(Yes I follow these pages so I know what the young hip crowd is into)

My 21 yo kid was a bit mystified by the meme. I like it ok, but I’m not at all confident that I know why anyone else likes it.

They have actually met microdaughter and was much impressed, so I guarantee those memes would get a gold star.

But it should be said that even discussing memes at all makes us old and dumb. If my wife ever says “did you see this meme?” at the dinner table the eyerolls are epic.

Are they any funnier with up-to-date pop culture references, tho? Like, look it’s Bernie with the Mandolorian. Look, there he is on the Iron Throne, etc.

I think it’s a problem with a lot of internet humor in that it’s so formulaic that it gets beaten to death immediately and the only funny incarnations are meta-memes that poke fun at the original meme.

I can’t see someone who is 15 now having watched GOT. But anything is possible, I guess.
