- What's up, Greg, I hope
you're all having a great day. Welcome back to my channel. This, of course, is another episode of The Decoration Station, baby. That's right, your boy
finally got some decorations. After so long and
thinking so hard about it, and asking you guys for suggestions, I finally decorated
this room a little bit. I did not use any of your suggestions. I just decided to do my own thing. But you know what, I think it looks nice. We got a nice little floating shelf here with some nice tasteful fanart
that's been given to me, and a little Nutcracker,
some little succulents. We got the classic Greg
letters, of course, I couldn't forget about those. We got a lamp, so it's
not so dark back there. And the piece de resistance, the mwah, the chef's kiss, if you will, is the Danny with inhaler poster. Yeah, you like that? I bet a lot of you probably thought I was gonna get the old
lady with an inhaler decal, didn't you? That would be a rookie move, dude. No free clout, dude, not even
for old women with asthma. But anyway, I'm pretty
pleased with how it looks. I think it looks a lot less
empty and boring in here. So I think it'll do for the time being. So anyway, let's get in to the video. Where's my little Nutcracker guy? Hello? Little Nutcracker guy. Did I put him somewhere
when I was decorating, what the hell? (tense music) - [Update Corner] Danny. - Wait, why is the Update Corner set up? I wasn't even planning on
doing an Update Corner. - [Update Corner] It's update time. Break your knees. (suspenseful music) (knees cracking) - Okay, welcome to the
Update Corner, everyone. I'm not really sure what
I'm updating you about, but let's just jump into it. Oh, okay. It looks like it's
another Lily's Garden ad. I guess I'm doing an
update about Lily's Garden. So I think last time
I made it pretty clear that I only wanted to talk
about Lily's Garden again if all her problems were solved, so that I could finally
be relieved of this pain. So Lily better be doing pretty damn good, otherwise this is not
gonna be a good update. Okay, so we got the black-haired boyfriend standing in a creepy-looking alleyway. A guy pops out of a dumpster. (sinister chord) Hey, what the fuck? My little Nutcracker guy is in this ad, they took him and put them in the ad! What the hell, Lily's Garden? I don't understand what the, what kind of psychological
warfare is this? Lily, what mind games are
you trying to play on me? What even is this ad? It looks like he's getting
intel on his girlfriend who's cheating on him or something. He's spying on people. Lily's Garden, are you
trying to subtly hint that you're watching me? Please leave me alone. You know what the worst
part about all this is? Is that my knees hurt. Uh no, actually the worst part is that they put my little
Nutcracker guy by a dumpster. They're trying to say my
little Nutcracker guy is trash. Little Nutcracker guy is not trash, all right, Lily's Garden? Give him back! Give him back, Lily's Garden. All I wanted was for
Lily to find happiness. Why you guys suddenly enacting psychological warfare on me? I wanted the best for your character. And now, after already being
stressed out about Lily, being worried about her, 'cause you guys don't
know how to treat her, now I'm gonna be stressed out even more. Shaking my SMH. You know what, Lily's Garden? This is war now. You've committed acts of war. Fuck the Update Corner, we're
going to the War Corner. (jaunty music) Actually, fuck this, back
to the Update Corner. And we're back. Well, I guess that does
it for the Update Corner. That seems to be why I was
called to the Update Corner. So now I guess I'm good to go. Actually, one second. I just gotta. (magical chiming) There we go, all right, Update
Corner's over, we're done. We're going back to the regular show. I thought kind of a fun idea for a video would be going through the memes that my older relatives
have posted on Facebook, and just taking a look at what
boomers are up to these days. I also posted a few of them on Twitter, and asked you guys if you had any, so we'll talk about some of the ones that I found on Facebook, and then I'll show some of the ones that you guys submitted too. Most of mine are from
a few select relatives that I have on Facebook that I don't think I've ever actually met. They're such extended family, that I have never, and
probably will never, meet them. The older I get, the
more I come to realize that I just don't care what
the hell anyone thinks. If this doesn't scream boomer meme, then I don't know what does. Like the brown background, this font, the multiple exclamation points, the poorly Photoshopped in and half-cropped out Wile E. Coyote image. It's boomer central over here. This is prime boomer real estate. My favorite thing about this meme is that the person that
posted this on Facebook, my relative, posted it
twice in like two weeks. I don't know if they forgot that they posted it the first time, or they just really want everyone to know that they don't give a
shit what anyone thinks. They really don't care, and they want you to know
that they don't care. This one is especially funny because the one that they posted right after this is this, is this one. I'm going to see who really cares. I need a hug or two. To give me a hug, like,
and share this post. I know who will hug me and who will not. So, I'm getting mixed signals here. The first one's like, "I
don't care what anyone thinks. If you have an opinion about
me, keep it to yourself, you piece of shit." And the second one is like, "Does anyone care enough
about me to give me a hug? Someone please hug me. I already know no one wants to. If only someone would
like and share this post to give me a hug. I just want the approval of my peers." Today is my 18th birthday. I bet I won't even get one share. This is so sad. Well, I guess that just goes to show how dumb this stupid, old dog is, 'cause many people shared this picture, including my older relative
that I took this from. Stupid dog. I just wanna know what's
going on in the heads of the people that share this. Do they think that they're actually making the dog feel better? I don't think the dog has
any stakes in this meme. I don't think he even
knows it was created. I think his humans probably
took a picture of him 'cause he looked so sad and old, and posted it on Facebook to try to get a little bit of clout. A little bit of that
boomer clout, you know? Like, did they think that the
owners of this Facebook page were gonna show the dog how many shares the post was getting? Hey bud, I know you didn't want me to post this on Facebook, 'cause you thought it
wouldn't get any likes, but I wanted to show you it's
actually got a bunch of likes, and a bunch of shares too. Hey, come on, bud, what's wrong? I thought he'd be happy. I think he's dead. What? Oh shit. Yeah, he's definitely dead. Thank you for your service, soldier! I know I won't even get one share. Why do the dogs in these memes have such low self-esteem? Jeez, every dog in boomer memes is just like, "Everyone hates me. I guess it's time to come
to grips with the fact that no one could ever love me. I'm a dog, and if there's one thing that people hate posting
about on Facebook, it's dogs." They said I was too ugly to get any likes. Who? Who is telling these
dogs that they're too, that they're so ugly and unlovable? Who owns these dogs? Who is harassing these dogs? Just imagine them taking
a picture of their dog, like, all right, buddy, smile. (camera clicks) You ugly, you ugly piece of shit! No one's gonna like this! You know how many people
are gonna share this? Zero, because you're too ugly, and you were in the army, and the people hate dogs and veterans. Okay, this one's a good one. This one's one of my favorites. Do people even eat sauerkraut anymore? Share if you do. Who cares so deeply about sauerkraut that they made this meme? Come on, guys. There's gotta be someone else out there that eats sauerkraut. Is there anyone out there
that eats sauerkraut? Please! Please share this meme so I
know I'm not the only person who eats sauerkraut. I really want the validation of knowing that someone, anyone
else, eats sauerkraut. But also, I just don't care
what the hell anyone thinks. So just like millennial memes, and memes of younger generations, boomer memes also have formats, but they're a little looser. They're not so strict. For example, I've seen my relatives post quite a few memes that really concern me. These memes seem to be kind of disguising violent tendencies and extreme urges to commit acts of violence, with cute animals and laugh emoji, to make it seem like a meme, instead of a hateful, mean thought. Lord, grant me the serenity to accept stupid people the way they are, courage to maintain myself control, and wisdom to know that if I
act on it, I will go to jail. And then there's a cute
little owl in there to distract you from the fact that they really want to hurt someone. At first, I thought the owl
was the one saying this, but the owl looks kinda scared. I'm worried that whoever posted this wants to hurt this owl. Repost this if there was
someone still alive today because you don't wanna go to prison. Hahahaha! I have to seriously prevent
myself from murdering people. I am one funny guy. I don't see any moral qualms with just murdering people
who inconvenience me. I just don't do it because
jail sounds stinky. Have you ever had one of those days when you're holding a stick and everybody looks like a pinata? No, I haven't. I've had days where I'm
frustrated, for sure. And at certain people, even, for sure. But I've never had one of those days where I wanted to hurt
every single person I saw. Does getting older just
make you angry and violent? Because if so, that sounds cool as hell. How the fuck is it only Tuesday? Man, I can feel the agony in this one. Please, God, make it Friday! It's been an eternity. Please! How the fuck is it only Tuesday? Forget about elf on a shelf, I'll take Jake on a lake. Uh, yes, one Jake on a lake, please. Yo, if it's Christmas time, I don't think you're gonna
wanna to put Jake in a lake. I don't think that's a very good idea. The lake could be frozen over. You're gonna end up with corpse in a lake, and then he's not going to be able to make sure you're a good girl, is he? Do you think Jake on a lake
still does the same thing as an elf on a shelf? Like, he's just a snitch for Santa. You see Jake in a lake and you're like, "Ooh, time to have some fun," and you walk up to him and then like the second you lay a finger on him, he's just like, "Santa!" (whining) "Naughty, naughty!" Oh, you're sick and really weak? Here, tear open this steel
package for medicine. I feel like if you're sick to the point that you're so weak, that you can't open DayQuil, then you need to go to the hospital. I know some people are weak all the time, like old people, but if
you're not that weak, and whatever illness you
have makes you so weak that you can't open
DayQuil, go to the hospital. I think you need more than DayQuil, I think you need medical attention. People born in the '50s
have lived in seven decades, two centuries, two millenniums. We had the best music, the fastest cars, drive-in theaters, soda
fountains, and happy days. And we are not even that old yet. We're just that cool. You guys had happy days? All I have are days where
I think everyone's a pinata and I've got a big stick. I've noticed a weird trend in
baby boomer memes, in general, where it seems like they're hellbent on convincing everyone else that their generation, and their youth, was the best generation to ever be alive. I don't think I've seen
that from other generations nearly as much as I've seen it from people who were born
in the '50s and '60s. Why is every boomer like that? Why does every boomer have to be like, "My youth was the best! Everything sucks now! Everything was better
before you were born! You missed out!" Which I don't really think is true. I think that everyone thinks
that their youth was great because they were young then. And people think that things aren't as great when they're
old, because they're old. People who were born in the 1800s are probably reading that meme and rolling in their grave. "What, the 1950s? My generation had the best
music, the fastest horses, the wildest West, houses
cost a dollar to buy, and--" Wait, what about the child mortality rate? And the rampant dysentery? Man, shut the fuck up. Also, if it was really that much better, going around and bragging
about it all the time would kind of be a really
shitty thing to do, wouldn't it? I lived through the best time ever. The best time to be alive
was when I was a kid, before you were born. Everything after it is gonna suck and your whole life is gonna suck. You're gonna live a miserable life because your music is bad,
'cause I don't understand it. You're gonna have a bad time
'cause I don't get your music. Also, the fastest cars? That's just not true, objectively. Cars in the '50s and '60s were awful. They were loud and hot
and didn't go very fast. Maybe they just felt faster when you got in a crash, because they didn't require
seat belts back then. I'm so old that I have
dialed a rotary phone, listened to music off an 8-track tape, watched a black and white TV with foil on the rabbit ear antennas, and went through a whole day without taking a picture of myself. I feel like this post is
meant to be nostalgic, like, "Ah, the good old days." But everything he's
describing sounds awful. Yeah, not to brag or anything,
and don't get too jealous, but I've used a rotary phone before. Yeah, you know the type of
phone that they used to make before they invented a much
better way for dialing phones? Yeah, I basically used to
use that shit all the time. All the media says is racism,
shooting, socialism, KKK. I just wanna grill, for God's sake. Ugh, why does the news
keep having to talk about all the bad things that's
happening in the world? I just wanna grill, baby! I just wanna turn on the grill and throw on a couple steaks, but I can't because I'm inside and it's winter and I'm watching my TV and obsessing over all the
news that I don't like. And it's their fault, and not mine. If you remember me please like and share. Comment my name. I think Popeye is suffering
from severe amnesia. Someone please comment his name and help him find his way home. He's very scared. He's like, "Where am I? What is this? Why am I holding spinach?" All right, guys, well,
I think that's enough old people memes for today. But since we're talking about fun things to do on the internet, let's talk about internet privacy and today's sponsor, ExpressVPN. Have you ever wanted to boost Justin Bieber's song
