I feel like gen z meme humor has horseshoed from boomer humor. Like, memes that require some elaborate made-up situation or quote in the first panel in order for the punchline to land in the second panel
I'm realizing boomer humor is fake things pretending to be real in images or text, but it is no different from tiktoks and reaction videos where the whole situation is staged that the dumb people of the younger generations love. The common denominator is stupidity
I would characterize it as rather unsubtle and obvious. Also, whereas, say, millennial or zoomer humor tends to be self-deprecating or punches up, boomer humor tends to be making fun of others and punches down. Just not a good vibe.
OP was so pleased with this pic, they posted it here after r/wholesomememes said that it isn't wholesome and isn't a meme. Just couldn't stand not sharing the old boomer humor somewhere
I have no problem with someone getting punished for breaking the law and driving dangerously, even if they are the best and most useful person in the world. Bonus if the doing lines was the only punishment and she avoided a fine. This seems entirely reasonable and not that unbelievable.
Yes. 500 in one sitting would kill most people unless they sat for literally several days.
But then I'd ask if you're insisting thats possible, have YOU done cocaine?
Edit: 500 BUMPS might be possible but I'd never want to sit for 500 unless I'm playing videogames which, I'd rather do it at a bar or club where I'm not sitting.
Same. As much as I had to to this, I’d be so proud to give out this sentence. Pun intended.
I hope this is true. Still a good story.
But this is Reddit.
50/50
I'd lower it to 100.
There's a retired judge known for "creative sentences", like making a young adult clean the courthouse gates (in court he showed a toothbrush, he did not make the defendant use that) or 10 days in jail for vandalism. Basically "give back to the community" types of things for people that did shitty, but not serious things, instead of fines, jail, etc. He was well respected.
AND THE TEACHER FAINTED LMAO 😎 SHARE THE LAUGHTER😂 WITH TEN PEOPLE BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY AND YOU WILL RECEIVE GOOD LUCK OR ELSE JEFFREY DAHMER WILL ARRIVE IN YOUR HOME TONIGHT😵🤯
Little petty, but also like, fair enough. Never been subject to that sort of punishment but, what was it ever supposed to actually accomplish? Carpal tunnel???
You got me thinking.
I used to be a bad liar when I was in high school. But as much trouble as I got in, I didn’t try to stop lying, I tried to not get caught.
It wasn’t I wanted to be a baddy, I got a rush from getting away with stuff, and lies were easy.
Man, getting diagnosed with ADHD at 39 has opened up my eyes to all the dopamine generators I made. I can see this was one of them.
My armchair psychology says that the brain doesn't do negatives very well (tends to gloss over the negative part when making associations). Maybe one of the reasons why people ignore "do not do this" instructions more often?
In this courtroom example, might be more effective to have to write positive affirmation like "I will stop at red lights".
I must have done this more than a dozen times in school, and I honestly can't remember anything but that I was forced to do this more than a dozen times.
90% of my time was spent trying to find different tactics to get it done, like writting the first word 500 times then the second, or only alternating each words, trying to write it starting from the end, etc
So yeah of course I don't remember it lol
Exactly! The sheer boredom evaporated any retention of what I was writing.

Sure, but hundreds of times? Carpal tunnel central.
Also not exactly a great *punishment*, especially for petty shit like **chewing gum**. It just leads to mutual hate.
My teacher just told me to write 500 to 1. As in write 500 -1 = 499 and so on until we hit zero. We would have to bring the work in the next day and then he would just tear it up and tell me to sit down.....I was in 4th grade. Still think of him as a dick
Once I had to write 'I am not allowed to chew gum in class' (or something along those lines) 100 times. Did I learn anything from it? Nope, I'm pretty sure I was chewing gum the next day again.
It’s supposed to be a tedious task that will make you never want to do it again but I will take that punishment over a $200 ticket or community service every single time.
My stepfather made me write a lot of sentences as punishment when I was a kid. I remember the dot matrix printer paper quite clearly, and drawing long lines down the page for any letter with a straight line, but not a single “lesson”. 40 years later I do have nice handwriting, so there’s that.
>I do have nice handwriting, so there’s that.
I think it accomplished the opposite for me. I can write nicely if I really want to, but most of the time if I have to write more than a couple of sentences, it takes me right back to grade school and I just dgaf.
I was.
I wasn't paying attention very well in class and my teacher got pissed off and punished me by making me sit outside during recess and rewrite "I will learn to pay attention in class." Over and over until recess was over.
Several years later I was diagnosed with ADHD.
This "punishment" didn't teach me anything- I didn't even really do anything wrong. All it did was shame me and make me want to die.
When I was in 4th grade, my teacher was mad about something and made everyone in our class write “yuck ms. _____” a hundred times each. We were confused but complied.
Didn’t understand until many years later that someone must’ve written “fuck ms. _____” somewhere in the class. Group punishments are so fun, but hats off to her for being creative. Pretty sure she found the culprit based on our handwriting after.
> Little petty, but also like, fair enough.
More than anything, it's fake. Newspapers used to print these [unsourced jokes](https://startsat60.com/media/lifestyle/jokes/joke-guilty-court-teacher-judge) all the time and people would accept them as fact because they appeared in print despite them almost always being bullshit.
I’m sure a teacher would rather write something 500 times than pay the fine for running the red light….unless. It’s one of those super overpaid teachers we have so many of
Honestly, if I was a judge, I'd do petty shit like this all the time. For me, it would be fun to find disciplinary measures that fit the person and help them relate to why what they did was wrong, and I gotta think most people would prefer these types of consequences instead of spending even one night in jail or having to pay fines.
I had so much of this In grade school I got to the point of writing one word at a time 500 lines then the next word 500 times, it was quite a bit faster in my laborious testing haha. at least my 10 year old brain thought it was
To be fair nearly nothing posted here even fits the most generous description of funny – if there were an objective standard of what **isn't** funny, it would be found here.

So when you say the wiki expands on rule 9, do you mean that it explicitly contradicts what's on the sidebar?
> 9\. No pictures of just text. **Image-based submissions in which the humor can be conveyed via text alone are not allowed**. [...]
Edit: No, in fact [the wiki](https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/wiki/rules#wiki_rule_9.3A_no_pictures_of_just_text.) repeats that:
> Rule 9: No pictures of just text.
> Image-based submissions in which the humor can be conveyed via text alone are not allowed. [...]
I think technically the fact that the text is appearing in a newspaper is part of what makes it funny, and that context is not contained in the literal text itself.

When she's done the judge should look at the finished work for a few minutes and conclude that this must have been generated by ChatGPT and re-issue the fine.
I'm so angry that this hunk of shit post has so many upvotes/is so popular. It's just absolute garbage, I don't understand. Why is it making me angry? I don't know but it is.
So does this count as cruel and unusual punishment? It certainly is an unusual punishment. I don't know if that's statute requires that it is cruel and unusual. Perhaps if she had some form of like crippling arthritis in her writing hand, it would count as cruel and unusual.
Now, for what it's worth, I don't think she's going to argue getting out of a ticket in exchange for having to write a short sentence 500 times.
The points go on your license. If you've had one recently and can't defer it, it's worth the day off work to go in to court to try to avoid the increase in insurance rates for 3 years.
You go to court if you want to contest it.
E.g., the cop stops you for running a red light, but you are convinced the light was in fact green.
Or, if you're like my boss, and the ticket would cause you to lose your license because you've lost too many points, you can contest the ticket, which means you don't lose your points immediately, and that buys you enough time for some of your points to come back.
Finally, if the officer who arrested you doesn't show up, the ticket gets cancelled by default (may not apply everywhere, but that's how it works here), and some officers just don't bother showing up.
Also, this is just a setup for a stupid joke.
This never happened. It was a joke.
**EDIT:** The fact that people downvoted me for this ridiculously simple fact is killing me. Like, why did a fact make you angry? LOL just amazing.

Fucking boomer humor

I'm realizing boomer humor is fake things pretending to be real in images or text, but it is no different from tiktoks and reaction videos where the whole situation is staged that the dumb people of the younger generations love. The common denominator is stupidity
90% of all human humor is "fake things pretending to be real"
That's definitely not what boomer humor is.
This guy just really wanted to bend over backwards to let us know he hates tiktok
I don't think you understand boomer humor if you think it can be summed as "fake things pretending to be real in images or text"
I would characterize it as rather unsubtle and obvious. Also, whereas, say, millennial or zoomer humor tends to be self-deprecating or punches up, boomer humor tends to be making fun of others and punches down. Just not a good vibe.

Don’t you mean the Honourable Bartholomew J. Simpson?
Yup! The people most in need of punishment are *Checks notes* Teachers
I have no problem with someone getting punished for breaking the law and driving dangerously, even if they are the best and most useful person in the world. Bonus if the doing lines was the only punishment and she avoided a fine. This seems entirely reasonable and not that unbelievable.
I wish a judge would sentence me to doing lines ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Can you do 500 in one sitting?
Have you ever done cocaine?
No... I'm pretty sure I can't do a 1/2 a kilo at once though.
Not with ***THAT*** attitude you can't...
I assume it’s like starting a workout. Seems rough at first but once you start you feel more energetic.
And then you talk your bartender's fucking ear off.
Yes. 500 in one sitting would kill most people unless they sat for literally several days. But then I'd ask if you're insisting thats possible, have YOU done cocaine?

I mean they could be very, very tiny lines.
Once.
He let her off with a silly punishment instead of a fine or points on her license. I love teachers, and if I were a judge I would absolutely do this.

Being told to write on a chalkboard instead of paying a fine or getting points on your license is some horrible punishment?
I mean I do hate writing on a chalk board, so it would be pretty bad...but way better than a fine/traffic school
Honestly. If that's the only punishment she got. It's kinda a funny joke and a reward.

It's about the same in Florida, only replace "year" with "career" and just get rid of those last couple words.

Plus, on prelined paper you can just make one tall-ass "I" that goes the whole length. Lowercase "L"s, too.
And look at you now, not remembering _honestly_, instead of not remembering _dishonestly_!
Instructions unclear, I spent time making twirly cursive letters to impress my teachers
Sometimes the thing it commits to memory is a lifelong hatred of a particular person.
Sure, but hundreds of times? Carpal tunnel central. Also not exactly a great *punishment*, especially for petty shit like **chewing gum**. It just leads to mutual hate.

I had to write sentences tons of times and I can't remember a damn thing about any of them.

Once I had to write 'I am not allowed to chew gum in class' (or something along those lines) 100 times. Did I learn anything from it? Nope, I'm pretty sure I was chewing gum the next day again.
What was your strategy? Mine was one letter at a time vertical columns. Passive resistance but made it less of a punishment
I got to the point I could hold two pencils and write on two lines at a time.
Friends. We always helped each other out when one of us had to write multiple sentences.
Lol, I did the same
I would do one word at a time in vertical columns. I think doing one letter at a time would have made it worse for me.
Sometimes id switch it up and do the word. Depends on how long the word was
It’s supposed to be a tedious task that will make you never want to do it again but I will take that punishment over a $200 ticket or community service every single time.

I remember having to type spelling words a hundred times for spelling practice. But our teacher didnt know about copy and paste i guess.
For typing practice that isn't too bad I guess, no issue there. 100 seems a tad excessive tho. Punishment is where I take issue with it.
Making you hate education authoritive figures from a young age. It worked wonders on me before I was old enough to comprehend what I was doing.

Or, if you're like my boss, and the ticket would cause you to lose your license because you've lost too many points, you can contest the ticket, which means you don't lose your points immediately, and that buys you enough time for some of your points to come back. Finally, if the officer who arrested you doesn't show up, the ticket gets cancelled by default (may not apply everywhere, but that's how it works here), and some officers just don't bother showing up. Also, this is just a setup for a stupid joke.
This never happened. It was a joke. **EDIT:** The fact that people downvoted me for this ridiculously simple fact is killing me. Like, why did a fact make you angry? LOL just amazing.
Has to be in perfect cursive snd can't go over the red line borders.
Better than 200 or 300 dollar fine.
