Hanna Barbera – Droopy, Scooby Doo, Fred Flintstone The true wild card of the bunch, encompassing all sorts of vaguely threatening boomer auras, while also being the home to the most ‘normal’ representatives of the boomer mind. Somehow the bleakest category of them all, what the fuck. Unless they’re talking through Donald Duck, in which they’re probably conveying some morose message about how cancer comes for us all equally. Their boomer memes are most likely to reflect on how broken they feel, and for some reason, Stitch is just lumped with the responsibility of conveying their recent sadness over the loss of your loved one. I don’t say any of this with the slightest bit of malice in my heart, as they are by far my favourite subgroup involved – the Odd Eyed Circle equivalent, for all the LOONA fans out there.ĭisney – Stitch, Donald Duck, Eeyore Easily the subgroup that embodies sadness, surprisingly contrary to the gun-to-head optimism enforced by Disney’s management of their IP. It’s something about Looney Tunes characters that these women just cling to so strongly – Tweety in particular is the realm of the still-horny wine mum, illegibly spelling out all her sass, with Taz popping up for the slightly older wimmin out there. They run the gamut of volatile, almost-post menopause emotions, mixed with a need to assert their youth and quirky individuality.
Coyote, Tweety, Taz These ones are the bread and butter of the 49 year old mum with empty nest syndrome, or who is totally, TOTALLY fine with turning 50. Of course, there is the other side of things: the absolutely deranged recent retiree, who pairs a naked Minion with something about gleefully farting in public, or how they can’t control their bladder when they giggle. They sincerely mean well for you, they just do not understand why the world has seemingly moved on without their approval. Usually the realm of the 73 year old grandparent, one who is always reminiscing how today’s kids have ‘screentime’ instead of ‘cholera’, but with the warmest of intentions. The Ur-example, the codifier that we all know. Minions – All of ‘em, I don’t know the difference between them!!!! The one in underwear. While the boomer and their mystical imagery may seem to be entirely illogical, their world is a cipher that can eventually be decoded.
#Boomer minion memes how to
I’ve figured out how to categorise all their Facebook hieroglyphics – the trick is to sort them by intellectual property, not the commentary inside. I’ve also suggested three characters that are the most common examples in each subgroup. I’ve figured out all their meme variants.
#Boomer minion memes full
You will find yourself with an image of, say, Yosemite Sam advocating that real mums always look at life with a glass half full – of wine, that is! Top it up, hubby! I’ve stared into the heart of the yummy mummy beast, and its father, the delusional-but-soft-hearted two-time granddaddy.
Usually with spelling mistakes or the cry-laugh emoji. Then find a Comic Sans font or something similar (not Bold Impact – different realm), and distill a simple piece of wisdom about how times used to be, or how you are keeping #real no matter what. First, take a Minion in a maid dress, or a select choice of Disney and Looney Tunes characters. They are the images that follow a very distinct format, and encapsulate the soul of a very specific kind of person, in the same way that the 1978 version of the Phantom Zone will forever have the face of Zod on its crystal hexagon. If you are in a WhatsApp chat with your 56 year old ellipsis-abusing father, or you have any access to a local community group page (shoutout to the Pohutukawa Coast Grapevine!), or your blessed mid-40s mother just can’t help expressing how quirky she is, you’ll know them.
