GMM 2717: Which Generation Has the Cringiest T-Shirts?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. I don’t know how to break this to you, but, um… We’re gonna look at T-shirts that we’ve purchased that they think that they’re cute and they’re somehow generational. Who’s they? The makers. We might be the only people that have bought these T-shirts. Can you guess what they say as I raise them slowly from my crotch? Yes. Alright. Like, do the printer thing? Yep. But first, let’s donate $1,000 to the Native American Heritage Association to aid in their mission to help Native American families living on tribal reservations in South Dakota by providing basic necessities such as food, clothing, fuel, and medical care. And we’re giving. Why don’t you give with us? At naha-inc.org/donate. That’s a mouthful of letters. – All right, Lucas, let’s… – These are called Sunny Angels, Link. Oh, Sunny Angels. And I don’t. And we’ve rendered them worthless by drilling through their skulls. I do not… The community would not be happy with us. All right, so I’m ready. Little less Sunny Angel. All right, here we go, here we go. Okay. Let’s take the lines down if we could. All right, there we go. Welcome to the gun show. Okay, it’s generational, we know that. – Welcome to the… – Welcome to the… Jeans? I don’t know what this says. Welcome to the Zen Garden. – Welcome to the Gen X – X Games. – Gen X… – Excellent. Welcome to the Gen X Couch? – Welcome to the Gen X… – Cause we sit on couches. We’re old. Playground? Gen X Slayground. Does that say Slayground? Nope. It says Playground. Playground. Who, in case of injury… Okay, okay, okay, I got it, okay. – In case of injury… – We’re Gen X. We can get injured. Welcome to the Gen X playground. In case of injury. Just get your ass back up. Because we don’t care about your feelings. We don’t care about things. Physical feelings. Gen X. We soothe ourselves. In case of injury – Stop crying, b — – Walk it off. Oh, blink once. Walk it off. Blink once. Blow out your… Blow out your… Knee. Blow out your knee. Blow out your fine. Blow on it. Blow on it. You’re fine. And one real… No one really gives a damn. No one really cares. No one really cares. Cares. Underline, underline squiggly. Welcome to Gen X playground. In case of injury, stop crying. Walk it off, blow on it. You’re fine. No one really cares. You know what? We take care of ourselves when we get injured. We self smooth. Because we were left in our cribs unattended for hours. We have flat heads. The back of our heads are flat. Because we slept on our backs when we were newborns. And a lot of us were formula babies because we thought that that made sense at the time. Because why does nature formulate what should come out of the teat. – Yeah, I never had the privilege of… – When scientist… sucking on my mother’s teat. Well, she’s still with us. Be like, Mom, I just feel like we need to make up for lost. There’s no one even laughed back there. Now, how do you feel about the fact that that was clipped out, put on TikTok and your mom was commenting below it? No. Well, Facebook let’s, we’ll have to put that… As long as it doesn’t make it to Facebook. We’ll have to put that clip on Facebook. Mom, let’s make up for a long time, I want to suckle your teat. Okay. Next t-shirt, please. They’re all black. I’ve noticed. Yeah, black is the number one selling t-shirt color. – I know I look good. – I know I look old. I know I look… A little young. I know I look young. I know I look young. But. Dem. Dumb. Duh. – Bit. – But. But. But. But. But. I’m not. I know I look young. But. I’m experienced. My eyes are up here. I know I look young. – But I’m a proud – I’m a proud what? Dad. I know I look young, but I’m a proud old person. A proud veteran. Old person. – I’m a proud… – Veterans can be young. Sadly, wars have continued. I know I look young, but I’m a proud… Noob. Booty. Booty. Booty. Booty. Boot liquor. Boom. Boom. Boom maker. – Boom. – Boomer. I’m a proud boomer. Boomer. Boomer, boomer, boomer. All right, that was it. Yeah, that took us a while. I know I look young, but I’m a proud boomer. This doesn’t make any sense. It’s not even, it’s not funny. Is it funny to boomers? Yes, I guess it is. Yes, I guess it is. What is the youngest a boomer can be? – Calculating. – Someone do the math on that. – I think, I think this the… – 59. This is, this is the best game on the internet. Oh, 60 actually. 60. Oh gosh. You have clicked on the… Most interesting game on the Internet. We could do this as a TikTok live. T shirts come out of my crotch. I think we’ve come up with this idea before and then had this same conversation. But if we sold T shirts on TikTok live, like this, slowly, that’s what we’re gonna do if everything stops working. Everything else crumbles, except TikTok, which is not threatened to stop working. Well, maybe some live stream. Me and you will be old, I mean, we’ll look young, but we’ll be proud boomers. Slowly revealing. Gen Z. Generation Z. Generation Z. I think this might be it. Is there anything below that? I think it just means, actually Zorro. Yep. Nope. Look out, world! I’m in charge now. Look out, world. I’m in debt. We’re DMing. What? – Look out, world, we’re… – We’re coming. Oh, we’re coming. We’re coming. No joke? Look out, world, we’re DMing. We could have spelled coming differently. There’s all kinds of things we could have done with this one. Something could have happened. Is there something on the back? This is a take on World War Z. Look out, world, we’re coming. Look out, world, we’re coming. – Coming to do what? – It should have been DMing. That would have been better. Look out, world, we’re DMing. Yeah, if you could just change that to that. DMing? Okay, these are leaving a lot to be desired. Yeah, these, these are not, these are not funny. These generational t shirts. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Make this one good, Link. I believe in you this time. Alright, this is gonna be hilarious. Okay, it’s black. Proud member of the Your Feelings Don’t Matter crowd. Proud member of the Your Feelings… What? It’s covered. Oh. There’s a naughty word under there. It’s censored? – Like, that… – Oh, oh, oh. That is terrible. Proud member of the F Your Feelings crowd. This is a Gen X T. We don’t care about feelings. – 1965 to 1980. – Oh, it’s got the years on it. That’s us, y’all. I love I love this. Now we know. And it’s got a real, real evil Uncle Sam. X Gen This is hilarious. Proud member of the F Your Feelings generation. Yet we’re all in therapy or in need of it. To process some of those feelings. Look at that. That we were not allowed to have as children. But you learn something on this shirt. You learn the dates. Yeah, yeah. This is my favorite one. Let’s keep that one. Okay, we’re keeping this one. It applies to us. We’re gonna wear that one. Okay, so now I’m going under here again. Lucas, why don’t you just crawl under here? I’d love to. They don’t let me. We specifically said no crawling under the desk. No crawling under here. It’s black. Millennial. Millennial. Adjective. Millennial. Frequently a noun. People… Baby boomers trash until they realize that… they will have to be taken care of by the millennials. They need expertise and honed wisdom to know how to use their phone. Digital skills to fix the Wi Fi. Oh, snap. I will say something about millennials. I think millennials are better at fixing technical problems than Gen Z and below. Like, the thing, I thought that like… Cause it didn’t work quite well enough. I thought that our kids would be really good at knowing how to like, use computers and stuff like that. But, it’s the app generation. Yep. They don’t understand anything if it’s not an app where they can just press little buttons. Right. They expect everything to work for them. They don’t know how to go the next layer deep in a computing system. Yeah. They don’t know how to go into the Finder on a Mac or… What’s that thing on a Windows machine? – What’s the… – They don’t? – No. – What’s the thing on… What? When you explore files on a Windows machine, what’s that called? In my experience… Explore. Teenagers do not understand computers nearly as well as we do. But that’s… Like, our generation, and I’m kind of including myself in like, I’d say millennials and Gen X. Yeah. We understand computers better than the people younger and older than us. If something goes wrong, they just get a new phone. Yeah, they don’t know how to do technical stuff. Yeah, some of them do. If you, like, chose to learn coding or whatever, but… But we had to learn how to right click on stuff to do secret things. Right, that’s right. All right. Oh, it’s like, left click You know what I’m saying. All right, here we go. X. Marks the spot of my generation. Oh, here we go. Same. 65 to 80. Raised on hose water and neglect. Okay, this is good. Oh, there’s a back. Whoa, there’s a big back to this one. Raised on hose water and neglect. This is a good one. I had a, I had a lot of those. Generation X. Survivors of drinking Hose water and neglect. Hose water. Blistering. Now you gotta be careful cause the first few sips of hose water in the summer are blistering hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta let that stuff, you gotta let the hotness run out. Blistering hot metal slides. Blistering hot metal slides. Little parental supervision. And, uh, I’m stuck. Not getting participation trophies. Known for our charming blend of cynicism… sarcasm and skepticism. The true FAFO. That’s F Around and Find Out, Link, Generation. I don’t feel like we needed the back. Hose water and neglect was a great joke, and then we mentioned hose water again on the back? Yeah, it’s redundant. There’s a little redundant there. Yeah, hose water was only on one side, guys. Okay, okay. That’s the best one so far, though. All right. The fun is not slowing down, though. We have plenty. No, it feels like it’s speeding up, actually. Oh, crap. The fun will be slowing down. Okay, go extra slow on this one. There’s the hanger. Hold on. Well, I could do this. I could take the hanger. I could go like this, and I could go, ooh. I could take my shirt up, and then as I raise it, I’m putting on a new shirt. That’s pretty cool. Okay, that’s what I’m doing. Oh, look, you see right through there? Is that your belly button or a microphone? That’s a microphone. Look at that. I’ve, like, strangely exposed just a microphone. People aren’t supposed to know that you have a microphone on, Link. Yeah. Yes, this one also works. Look at that, Tally. Everybody catch up. This one’s on. It works. We also have these. There’s also one up there. Born to swipe. Not to type. That’s what I’m talking about. Born to swipe. Not to type. And then if I keep going. Yep. There we go. Oh, come on, now. We don’t need to see those. We don’t need to see those. That’s an added dimension to the game. – Born to swipe, not to type. – That’s the dirty version. Born to swipe, not to type. They don’t know about typing. Yep, they don’t know how to type. My kids do not know how to type. I’m so embarrassed. So when they write a report You mean when Chad GPT writes a report for them? They don’t know how to write. They use an AI. They don’t know how to form their own thoughts. I mean, my kids Uh, my kids have decent handwriting. – Which is surprising. – They handwrite reports and things? Really? But their typing, I mean, their typing is just, um, mangled. But yeah, I mean, they know how to express themselves. My kids know how to express… All right, here we go. Retired. Retired? Some Somehow. Retired boomer. Retired boomer. But what’s funny about it? Under new management. See my wife for details! Get it? Retired boomer under new management. See my wife for details. She’s the new boss. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mm hmm. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Don’t need that. I’ll tell you who the boss is. I might. I think I could wear this. I think this would be ironic. I’m a little too old for this to work though, huh? Maybe I’ll give this to my kids. That could work. Yeah, they could write a little report on it. They can handwrite it, have it scanned in. My dad gave me a shirt today. Is it creative writing? What’s the best one? What’s the best one we got? Is it that one? No, it’s the hose water without the back. We’re gonna put a patch over the back. So you don’t know. We’re gonna rub it off the back. I am anti print on the back of t-shirts. Because you can feel it a little bit. You can feel it a little bit. And if you wear another layer over it, you sweat wherever the print is. And sometimes if you take your shirt off in just the right way, you can read what the shirt said in sweat on your back. Yeah. That’s how I, that’s how I send secret messages to my neighbor. Yeah. You send him a shirt, he wears it, he takes it off and you read his back. We send it to each other. I let him get sweaty in this and then. And then take it off while I’m looking through your window. And the ironic thing is, is that I wrote the message. So I’m just seeing the thing that I wrote. I wouldn’t call that ironic. I’d call that stupid. Yeah, we need to make our own T shirts, sweat in them, and then let each other watch through the windows. That’s what we need to do to actually send messages. Note to self, that’s what we’re gonna do from now on. And apparently these bags are trendy now. Yeah, let’s talk about that. What is this? A Baggu? Baggu bag. How much, much, how much is this run? $20, I hope. Computing… $45 ish. $45. Why? – It doesn’t even have… – Mine got real wet. It’s only got one little… Yours got wet? That was my own fault. We don’t give a frick about your feelings. I tried to pour my own drink into it. It does look like a cooler. Yeah, I bet you it keeps things cool. And some things hot. What do you call this? This hair band? The cloud band? What is it? It’s just a headband. And this is a thing now? You use it for skin care. I’m doing that thing where Britney talks and I’m trying to just repeat exactly what she says. Britney is our, is our local trends that we would never been exposed to, writer. Well, it’s, it, yeah, some, it’s, you know, if you’re watching, get ready with me. Get ready with me. Get ready with me. People will put this on before they do their little make ups. Yeah, yeah. Well, and, like, skin care stuff. Okay, well, I’ll take it home. I care about my skin. It’s Black Friday, and we have a special offer over on the Mythical Society to get 20 percent off all plans. We never do this. Seriously. Use code BFCM2024 through Monday, December 2nd at mythicalsociety.com
