I’m probably alone in this but my favorite Doctor Who joke to this day is when 9 and Rose go to the end of the world and a jukebox is uncovered to which Cassandra says “and now a traditional ballad of my people” Toxic by Britney Spears starts playing.
I think one of the best things about this generation’s humor is just how absurdly rude it probably sounds to every older generation. Like. My parents were watching a relatively new show with me, and the humor was that sort of, ‘A character just randomly says fuck or bitch to someone and that’s the joke’
And my parents are like so offended. Like how could this rudeness be considered funny. This generation must be so mean to each other, they thought.
I mean when you think about it it’s kinda true. Our idea of a joke is just saying ‘Well fuck me right in my ass’ whenever something mildly inconvenient happens, or calling our friend a bitch for like, taking the blue bendy-straw when you really wanted the blue one.
But also in a way, it sort of really prepares us for when people are legitimately rude. Then we won’t get so angry over it, because we’ll partly see it as a joke. And I think that’s why I really love my generation’s sense of humor. It’s seemingly so disrespectful to outsiders, which is a joke in and of itself, and also helps me cope with actual jerks in the real world.
our humor is just one big inside joke and its great
some fucking idiot doctor with a piece of shit degree: you shouldn’t touch your face after petting a cat, it can really irritate your eyes and nose even if you’re not allergic!
me, a fucking genius: *smashing my entire face in my cat’s belly and getting scratched for it*
