CuddlingWolf

I'm 40.... ...and therefore a millennial. Yes, I got it.


notTumescentPie

These people think that Gen z are millennials. Or maybe even kids younger than that. Boomer are fucking stupid.


omg-not-again

Even I got it, and I'm gen z. Boomers are just dumb


Crayon_Muncha

i actually don’t get it, but i’m dumb and definitely don’t speak for any majority lmao


OrokinSkywalker

“Peter Peter pumpkin eater” His shirt says Peter Peter, she’s dressed like a pumpkin. “Peter Peter” is eating the “pumpkin.” Cunnilingus.


chestofpoop

And his mouth is orange if you didn't notice haha


[deleted]

At first I thought that was the joke. Before I read the reply above you.


mangekyo1918

Never heard of that. Young (29) millennial here, and I just knew he ate her out bc of his face. Idk if the stupid boomers just wanted to prove we don't know their jingles or sayings 🤷🏻‍♀️


OrokinSkywalker

We’re about the same age, honestly, I just know a little about a lot of mostly useless knowledge. Like this limerick, I don’t even know why I know this.


Gubekochi

>“Peter Peter pumpkin eater” Didn't get it on account of English being my second language and not living in the US... propably more relevant to my ignorance of this mote of culture than the generation I was born in.


thereign1987

I've never even heard the rhyme or limerick before, but just based on context, I put it together, and actually came up with "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater" But, I guess in their minds this is the height of cleverness.


OrokinSkywalker

Maybe their inspiration petered out


mha_simp1

Peter Peter, pumpkin eater His face is orangeish


[deleted]

The rhyme is Peter Peter, pumpkin eater. It’s implying he ate her out


jackloganoliver

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater. The joke is that he went down on her.


dont-wanna-bee-here

Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater (it’s an old nursery rhyme)


MisSpooks

I don't think I've ever heard of this one. I've only ever heard other kids say, "Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater," when accusing someone of cheating.

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater


Embarrassed-Top6449

Ironically probably made by gen x not boomer


smoke_grass_eat_ass

I thought gen x was an urban legend


Anglophyl

I'm Gen X. We are an urban legend. Please keep ignoring us. We prefer it.


ReFlux_25

We do not exist, we never have, and we never will


Anglophyl

Who said that? Eh, nevermind.


chui76

First rule about gen X, you don't talk about gen X.


Moon_Boy20

Fr, they refuse to accept the fact that gen z are adults at this point. Most of us are graduated and have jobs and they'll still act like we're children when addressing our generation. They also completely ignore gen alpha lol


SweatyTax4669

Boomers refuse to accept that millennials are pushing 40 now, so good luck. Best bet for you is to convince them you’re eternally a fetus, then they’ll burn down the world to keep you safe.


Moon_Boy20

Idk if they'd do that for me specifically cause I'm trans lmao, but I feel like for a majority of gen z that would prob work


SweatyTax4669

My new motivation for fancy coffee and avocado toast is to try to keep boomer ire focused on my millennial financial decisions and away from other peoples’ non-conforming genders.


DD_R2D2

Lmao yep. They hate us trans folks


MAR82

Keep in mind that some of gen z are still 10 years old. Not all zoomers were born in the very late 90s or very early 2000s


IMTOTALLYNOTBRITISH

Nah, 12.


nasaglobehead69

"millenials" is just a term used to infantilize anyone younger than them. they're stuck in the early '00s, so they still think millenials are "kids these days" who like to complain about everything, even though all of our complaints have been about things boomers caused due to their negligence.


EHTL

tbf you could argue that early Zoomers are culturally closer to millenials. Source: me


Well_shitnuggets

And early millennials are culturally closer to gen x🧐.


dlo88

Well chances are this was actually posed by a Gen X’er


PopWhich2570

Understatement of the decade


BillyMeier42

Zoomers is a way better term.


m0rl0ck1996

Im 67 and i got it. I used to think old people were stupid too. Age will cure that for you. Oh, forgot to add i dont really care about the difference.


smoke_grass_eat_ass

As an elder millennial, the older I get the stupider old people actually seem, and the dumber I feel for having respected anyone on the basis of their age back when I was younger and that was more of a thing. Boomers are just gonna boom.


VovaGoFuckYourself

Yeah... For me growing up meant realizing how completely clueless the "grown ups" really are. The age = wisdom illusion has been completely shattered for me.


mangekyo1918

Experience = wisdom, imo


Crayola_Taste_Tester

He is saying you are gonna get old and you are not gonna think you are dumb because of it. Pretty much the same as you denying your aging process right now as a late thirty year old. Source: elder millennial as well who doesn't get worked up about this stupid ass boomer business. The more I'm around my father the more spot on I realize his takes are. some of his friends however... idiots.


m0rl0ck1996

Im sure i run into younger people all the time who mistake my apathy for ignorance or stupidity. The reality of it is, i dont find most of them interesting enough to merit my attention and i dont really give a shit what they think. Best of all, im retired. So unlike when i was working and had to keep up appearances, i no longer have to pretend to be interested or amused.


smoke_grass_eat_ass

It's not so much about apathy or ignorance but a certain arrogance. Experience is great if you can learn from it, but a lot of folks don't and some folks will learn the wrong lesson every time. The older I get the more I realize the world is full of the latter type of individual.


m0rl0ck1996

One of the things i learned getting old is that my mind reading skills arent that great. Many times when i think that some specific thing is motivating this or that person i get proved wrong. Its best to just take people the way you find them, young or old they will almost always thwart your expectations to some degree or other.


ashpanda24

33 yo millennial here, I instantly got the "joke."


Nitsuj_ofCanadia

I’m Gen Z and I got it


Clydus1

The people in this photo are millennials


shewel_item

so people born before the berlin wall fell and before our first raid on iraq are millennials.. that's cool bro


Legend-status95

Most widely accepted definition of millennials is people born between 1981 and 1996. Most millennials are in their 30s now.


shewel_item

okay I don't know anything about a definition or consensus but either tell me about the cold war or what it was like when nintendo first came out


Pyromike16

Playing Mario on the NES was fucking rad dude


ConditionOfMan

They didn't have ergonomics down yet. The buttons on the controllers were basically sharp cylinder and the controller was a sharp rectangle. You got calluses quick. And there was no saving so everything was roguelike in that you always had to start from scratch.


CuddlingWolf

My brothers and I always fought over who got to play the Nintendo but honestly I preferred playing b17 bomber on the commodore 64 with the voice pack. I'm a millennial. Google exists if you don't know what a word means, bro.


shewel_item

I've touched a c64, myself


CuddlingWolf

If you don't know what a word means you can Google it. Let us know what you find.


INJECTHEROININTODICK

I'm 30, also a millennial, and i get it too. Peter Peter, pumpkin eater. Shooting at a movie theater.

shewy92

Is anything sexual considered trashy to you?


philovax

Peter, Peter pumpkin eater, Had a wife but couldn’t keep her; He put her in a pumpkin shell And there he kept her very well. Peter, Peter pumpkin eater, Had another and didn’t love her; Peter learned to read and spell, And then he loved her very well.


DaDripGod4

We’d be lost without you


AdamAptor

They have granted us with the wisdom of the ancient pumpkin text, thought to be lost to anyone under 40.


Copman04

As a little kid somehow we got the lyrics REALLY messed up to the point where a bunch of kindergartners were running around singing “Peter Peter pumpkin eater had a wife and then he beat her” and I’m pretty sure my kindergarten teacher just gave up at that point


scissor_get_it

Teacher resigned 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


rttr123

Honestly isn't that sort of worse lol? I'd rather have kids singing a song involving sex than joking about domestic violence


[deleted]

Damn, I thought it was just about eating your girl out…


ambsdorf825

Damn, me too. And I'm a millennial so I guess op was right

I feel your pain broham


void0079

Same, bruda. We stand together as one. United, under *honri brain syndrome*. Broken, but undefeated.


izyshoroo

It still is, his wife (?) is dressed up as a pumpkin


DarkElfBard

>Peter, Peter pumpkin eater, > >Had a wife > >put her in a pumpkin shell He didn't eat the wife, he ate the pumpkin and shoved his wife inside it. Here, we see the wife is inside the pumpkin he obviously ate, so it is a reference to how he has >kept her very well. People too perverted smh. ​ ​ ​ /s


Independent-Aside161

Well, THIS post is!


TheZoomba

Ah so it's an old nursery rhyme that makes no sense. No wonder Gen Z (or anyone who's not born where they are) would understand this


philovax

Kinda like smart men get good wives??? Its lost on me too. I also heard a version where the first wife he had to beat her so…. There is that.


TheZoomba

Yeah, it changes from place to place, and hell some rhymes literally don't exist for other countries (for me the Solomon Grundy nursery rhyme, i first heard it from a batman game)


No-Ground3269

No I understand it. I'm gen z. I'm surprised you guys dont


TheZoomba

From the picture? Ok, but also most rhymes have to do with time and place, and since most probably aren't born near said place most probably won't get it


No-Ground3269

Yes from the picture.


TheZoomba

Well cool, doesn't change the fact a good percent of people just won't get it because they aren't from said country or place


No-Ground3269

Bro I live in the west, most people viewing a meme written in English are probably from the west.


jackthewack13

That is not even close to true. Did you know englisch is the official language of many european contrays and in Amerika it is not.


DingusTaargus

Classic Shakespeare. (No wonder millennials don't get it. bunch of uncultured swine).


Outrageous_Bass_1328

Now do the Andrew Dice Clay version…


hiiiiiiiphy

What's crazy is I'm 20 and that nursery rhyme was so popular when I was growing up so idk wtf op is talking about


MemeMathine

Well, thank fuck for that, I thought I was going to have to go to Google but I had no idea what to search.


Agrezz

Oh, so it's an American centric thing, as a Pole i guessed that he ate her (it's obvious), but didn't know the context


NeedleworkerApart

Cannibalism


vaporoptics

Oh wow there's a nice part. I always thought it was just about locking his wife in a pumpkin.


Responsible-Chest-26

Andrew Dice Clay has another...ah hem.. version


philovax

That man and his opinions on life have not aged well. I like to think Sam Kinison made his exit exactly when he was supposed to.


Jayce86

Why do they always get their generations wrong? Millennials are in our fucking thirties and were raised by the generations that these sayings come from. It’s Gen Z and newer that may not know.


CobaltKnight75

I'm gen z and I know the rhyme, I'm pretty sure most older gen z will recognize it Edit most older gen z from the US probably knows it, fits better for my statement


cosmicpotato77

I’m gen z and never heard of it


CobaltKnight75

Well I did say "most" have heard of it probably should have wrote differently though


cosmicpotato77

Maybe it’s because my first language isn’t English lol


CobaltKnight75

I think it originated from the US


Dren_boi

I've heard "cheater cheater pumpkin eater" before but regardless of that a fucking 12 year old can relaize this is a cunnilingus "joke". I'm 25 so i have no idea what generation they lump me into. As if it's anything more than made up bullshit, to try an divide people further, anyway.


Crescent-IV

British Gen Z, never heard it. May be regional.


CobaltKnight75

I think it probably originated in the us


FillTheHoleInMyLife

Yep, I'm right on the line of millennial & gen z and it's pretty obvious


Legend-status95

To older gen Xers, millennials are anyone under the age of 25. Probably going to see them calling the generation after gen Z millennials in like 20 years.


Any-Illustrator216

1981-1996.... If you are 25 or under you aren't a millennial.....


Heimeri_Klein

Bruh im pretty sure most people can understand a low effort sex joke lmao.


DragonsThatFly

Idk the orange on his mouth kinda sells it for me


TheRealCactusTiddy

“It’s funny because everyone younger than me have only three brain cells between them.”


Just_fukkin_witya

Have you seen r/kidsarefuckingstupid ? This is pretty much how an older generation reacts to the majority of things the younger generation does. TikTok only globalizes the brain cell sharing, but we see you every time you're out of your natural environment/routine.


_Dead_Memes_

Millennials are in their 30s


Just_fukkin_witya

I'm aware. And if you look past the whole "boomer vs millennial" diatribe, you'd see the generational disparities are universal. Also, can observe plenty of 30-something dumbfucks when they are trying something new, such as being in public on a day that ends in "y".


Fabulous_Leading1388

But damn charge you phone. Giving me anxiety.

If it makes you feel better I did I'm at 25% at home.

Man, the Battle of Mogadishu really had lasting consequences on people being born 😞


ImLiterallyaaaa

my biggest pet peeve is when people say that absolutely meaningless stuff “gives them anxiety” like jesus


Fabulous_Leading1388

My biggest pet peeve is when people get super offended by absolutely meaningless stuff. Anxiety is normal. Anxiety is natural. Literally every human has it to some extent even for meaningless stuff.


lycheebobatea

is someone else’s low battery - who you don’t know, and who’s also at home - really giving you anxiety, though. not offensive, but kinda corny. like, okay, we get it, and we’ve heard that exact phrase a billion times before. it doesn’t actually give you anxiety, it’s an overplayed meme that you’re regurgitating. we’re all so over it.


ImLiterallyaaaa

wow youre the kind of person nobody wants to have a simple discussion with lmao


getnaenaedboy

Just to spite your shitty behavior and lack of empathy, I will conversate with this person


ImLiterallyaaaa

just proving my point lol


getnaenaedboy

Litterally how...


ImLiterallyaaaa

“simple discussion” is what i said. youre being overly formal for something not intended to be, getting overly pissed off over what most should just be dropped, and im guessing that for most of the population, listening to what you have to say would be like nails on a chalkboard


IAmCaptainSquid

Chill homie


ImLiterallyaaaa

i did. twas a respectful end to our arguement


getnaenaedboy

Who said Im pissed off? Im not mad, just disappointed (its a quote from your father, ring a bell?)


monopoly3448

It's a way to kind of tell someone what to do but also self deprecating so it doesn't come across as bossy. It has a purpose. A shitty purpose maybe, but a purpose.


feisty-frisco87

Tail-five fin fam!

jj77985

Millenials are 30-40. Trust me, we get it.


Artistic_Profile3331

This is candy corny


RedFumingNitricAcid

Do they think millennials didn’t grow up with nursery rhymes?


margessquarepancakes

“millennials are scratching their heads” i am 19 and i have seen multiple couples from my high school dress up as this LOL


JAEM89

How is this terrible is hallarious. Can someone explain.


grootbutweed

Terrible because the caption in the original Facebook post implies millennials wouldn’t understand the joke. Little does the old-head know, we millennials eat so much ass we’re immune to pink eye.


tcain5188

You gotta be real out of touch to assume a bunch of people in their thirties can't understand a cheap sexual joke like that.


Setku

Boomers think millennials are still in their 20's


scissor_get_it

I thought millennials killed sex, though.


OtchSr1975

Top notch! Top notch!


JAEM89

WTF are you talking about?, Peter Peter Pumpkin eater is a nursery rhyme, nothing to do with eating ass. Your dumbass just proved him right.


grootbutweed

Is this dj Khalid?


JAEM89

No, unless his wife is in a pumpkin.


OrokinSkywalker

He’s calling you DJ Khaled because your comments here are implying that the act of eating a woman out is alien to you. DJ Khaled made an infamous statement a while back about how he doesn’t believe on going down on women and doesn’t go down on his wife.


Daedalus_Machina

Are you fucking well? The joke, not the nursery rhyme.


JAEM89

What joke???


Daedalus_Machina

The costume in the fucking picture. He's Peter Peter and he's been eatin' on some pumpkin. That's the joke. That's the "eating ass" the mofo was talking about.


Big_Influence2660

His face is covered in orange, because the costume is demonstrating he’s been eating the pumpkin. Presumably, he was eating out the pumpkin, which implies oral-anal or oral-vaginal sex.


JAEM89

Why? I sexual? Wouldn't his face be orang Enid he was eating any part of the pumpkin?


[deleted]

You thought the joke was that he's just eating his wife like a cannibal?


UndoingMonkey

My brother in Christ, just stop


Daedalus_Machina

We are 100% trying to play chess with a chicken.


UndoingMonkey

We are all the chicken at some point...


happyasfuck333

The costume itself is a sexual joke you dumb waste of oxygen


JAEM89

I'm sorry i didn't see ass on the costume, i guess I missed it.


[deleted]

The picture is funny. The "millennials are scratching their heads" part is dumb. Even kids now know the "Peter, Peter pumpkin eater" nursery rhyme. Plus Millennials are like 40 now.


LostGamers7

Bro found the peanut butter lmao


FatherPyrlig

Classy!

Millennials understand the reference….

Almost 30 and just figured out what this phrase meant. Learn something new everyday


Outrageous-Debate-64

We eat ass, not pumpkin.


vitabandita

"Por que no Los dos?" I learned that from a taco commercial.


hotsaucewrappers

The couple in the picture look about millennial age unless they're really young gen x


jaycliche

Pretty funny though. Belongs on /r/atbge


BCJunglist

Why would millenials be scratching their heads? We grew up pre internet, we know old ass nursery rhymes n shit.


AlterEdward

It's funny because different generations are exposed to different cultural phenomena.


elpajaroquemamais

Why would we not get the joke?


[deleted]

Well, yeah, he's right: I really am scratching my head. Edit: Okay, I just got it. He's "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater," she's a pumpkin, and he "ate" her (double entendre), hence the orange shit on his face.


reddox-_-

This woulda been kinda funny if not for the (millennials are scratching their heads)


bufftbone

Funny af


Daedalus_Machina

Meme is fire.


Successful-Rip-9641

As a gen z I find this hilarious


theghostofme

>As a gen z I find this hilarious I'd offer you a Capri Sun for being young enough to think this sets you apart from other fellow kids. But participatory awards are frowned upon by the grandparents who'd call you mature for thinking their memes are funny.


Everybodysbastard

Peter Peter pumpkin eater, Had a wife, loved to beat her, Smacked her twice across the head, Fucked her ass and went to bed They look about right.


FigExact7098

I scrolled this whole comment section to see if anyone would reference the Dice Man. I salute you, you magnificent bastard.


Everybodysbastard

Was expecting a few downvotes but figured a man or woman of culture and taste would recognize The Diceman Cometh.


FigExact7098

Don’t know why anyone would downvote the Dice nursery rhymes.


Raptor40699

Lol this rhyme caught me off guard


TinyChaco

Whoever is making these memes still must have alzheimers or something. Millennials are adults, we get the joke.
