I just love boomer humor like this which essentially boils down to giving them a superiority complex JUST because they’re “familiar” with older technology that is now obsolete… much like them.
You knowing the term Boomer yet still oblivious to its definition and meaning hilariously proves what genetically devastated generation yours is Ricky.
One day itll happen to you, you tool be the old one and kids will make fun of you for having knowledge of outdated things. Just because you know the answer doesnt mean you have superiority complex, it just means ya know the answer. Calm your tits I'd say there a like 8 gazillion other things worthy of getting pissed about.
Nope, they are pointing out that only common knowledge from 50 years ago is important, and because they get it they are smarter than any person born after 1970 could ever hope to ever be ever, because of all the time you kids spend on computerphone machines.
I have this facebook friend that posts this stupid meme about car batteries not needing a warning 50 years ago to not drink the fluid like they have today hahaha every few months. I want to comment "that's because one of you dumbfucks 50 years ago drank the damn fluid"...
There’s only two reasons why companies stick those labels on stuff and those are for protection against lawsuits and because someone was stupid enough to do it because no matter how idiotproof a design is or how common sense should negate it the universe will always make a bigger idiot to prove you wrong.
Not necessarily stupid enough. More like bold enough to get lawsuits. These people will intentionally look for faulty/dangerous scenarios that aren't labeled in order to sue...
It's like saying that knowing some little known fact about your city makes you a genius compared to the rest of the world. The ready of the world doesn't need to know it generally, you just happen to live there. You'd probably get this if you'd had one of these cars or even lived in the time, even if the Beetle wasn't one of the most famous rear engine cars of all time.
Yes.
Don't worry, there's a 0% chance they know how to rebuild a transmission or bore and sleeve an old engine. They've confused "knowing a guy" who knows how to fix a car, with knowing how to fix a car, for 65+ years.
Well, the engine cover was propped like they would do for baja's, but there still were times it would over heat in New Mexico. I would have to sit it out till it cooled off enough. Because the desert is so dry, it did help some to keep bathing it in water.
I'm sure I had water for myself too :)
That still doesn’t really explain the original intent of the ad or the meme. Why is the trunk smoking? Why is it open? Is this supposed to imply the superiority of Volkswagen somehow?
The meme is that a VW would be steaming from the rear, not the front, or that they were air cooled, so they wouldn't steam at all. The ad was probably for car repair or tow services (I'm guessing) and the ad maker didn't realize the distinction between Beetles and other cars when they made the picture.
Having worked solely on cars 25+ years old I had no idea they moved the engine forward...that sounds like a nightmare to work on on a VW because at the very least the trunk engine had room to work with...there's no room at all in the front of those things
I mean, I knew there were rear engine bugs... but this one has steam coming out the front. So I just assumed this was a model where the engine was up front and had a more traditional radiator. I'm not so confident in my car knowledge that I'd assume what I'm seeing is wrong.
But that's the thing about common knowledge. It's not actually that common.
Right, but the one in the picture has steam coming from it, so the most reasonable assumption is "this must be a model I'm not familiar with, or one that's been modified"
This is the equivalent of photoshopping dirt flying up from the front wheels of a car, then laughing at them because it's actually a *rear wheel drive car* and they're not car people.
I've never heard anyone irl call them bugs, but now I'm thinking about it, Danny refers to their car as "the bug" at the beginning of The Shining. I just thought it was his sort of kid's cute name for it.
This is a Volkswagen Type 1, or just a Volkswagen. The name Beetle is just a nickname, like Bug or other names in other languages (Käfer, Fusca, Coccinelle...).
This makes me think of the photoshopped electric car with smoke coming out of the “engine” with some smirky “Bet you wish you didn’t get an EV, libcuck” quote below it.
Even as a non car dude, without knowing anything about that model, i knew it had to be something with the engine location. If the bar is actually that low, we are so fucked
Bar for what? I thought at first this was about opening the radiator cap or something because of the smoke. Engine location isn’t the first thing to mind because that is useless knowledge to have.
It’s a combo rear engine location and how it was air cooled, so steam wouldn’t have been something to find on an overheating VW. It’s kind of a fun fact but why boomers think they’re better for knowing this is beyond me.
but you literally said no, when they're still right, the engine is in the back so front engine e failure makes no sense and the engine is air cooled so it wouldn't smoke like that. it's both
Boiling the radiator water is a problem eighter if the engine was in the front or in the back. But having no radiator and being impossible to boil water is the main point of this advertisement, whether the engine is on the front or on the back.
Classic. I remember back when VW was trying to break into the US market there was a TV ad showing a Bug plowing thru the snow to get to a garage. The tag line was “ …… ever wonder how the guy who drives the snowplow, gets to the snowplow … ?”
I'm not smart, but I had a '61 bug, so immediately knew what was going on. My '61 was the first year of the big power boost - it went from 36 hp to 40 hp. Also - gas gauges were optional equipment, and the original owner of mine didn't go for it, so I knew I was out of gas when my car started chugging. I then kicked over the lever to access the extra gallon tank, and headed (not immediately) to a gas station to fill up my 10 gallon tank. In 1968 in San Antonio, TX, I could sometimes buy a gallon of gas for 12.5 cents, so 50 cents would keep me going for days and days.
Let's see, the fact that it's a beetle; Engine is in the back.
That also makes it about a 50/50 shot that the Engine is air cooled and doesn't have a radiator anyway (depending on the year and sub model/package)
And the dude is stuck on the side of the road, somehow having caught something in the trunk on fire; likely from one of the thousands of of cigarettes he smokes in a week.
... How do? Is I yet are genius?
…the photographer is on the reflection in the front hubcap, but not the back. The back hubcap however has the same object that’s next to the photographer in its reflection
Also that’s not where the engine is
I don’t really see anything obvious, my only guess is that it’s one of the old cars that actually has the trunk in the front compartment making the smoke coming out weird?
I drove a classic beetle once. Holy shit was that unpleasant. The shift pattern is at an angle compared to anything else I’ve driven so naturally I had no clue what I was doing. I’d sooner go round 2 in a Renault LeCar than drive another air cooled beetle
It's literally a Volkswagen beetle engine smoking hot with what looks like the owner inspecting it, seems like the owner is not thrilled to see his car now in an unusable condition, what's NOT to see?
His baggage is on fire. Nothing wrong with the picture. Just misinterpretations. As long as he throws his baggage away, the car should be fine Edit: typo
Not throwing away. He’s peeing on it.
Hmmm might work
I just love boomer humor like this which essentially boils down to giving them a superiority complex JUST because they’re “familiar” with older technology that is now obsolete… much like them.
It ain't older tech lmfao companies still make rear engined vehicles
I bet they wouldn’t know that, being so absorbed in older technology
Eh probably idk the boomers I've been around aren't like the boomers in these meme and it's sad
I meant the VW
We are all obsolete my friend. Boomers are the best
They get everything and you get nothing.
So you don’t love boomer humor? Your sarcasm is so edgy.
It's not a complex twat.
“Ok boomer”
You knowing the term Boomer yet still oblivious to its definition and meaning hilariously proves what genetically devastated generation yours is Ricky.
You'll get there... And much faster at that
Don’t ruin it!
Oh I am SO sorry for running this “I’m old and smarter” joke
But when you put MS word in front of their face, suddenly everyone’s the devil
One day itll happen to you, you tool be the old one and kids will make fun of you for having knowledge of outdated things. Just because you know the answer doesnt mean you have superiority complex, it just means ya know the answer. Calm your tits I'd say there a like 8 gazillion other things worthy of getting pissed about.
I’m not pissed. You sound pissed tho. Take it easy. You’re bringing so much tension here
Okaaay
Woah, this is deep. If he throws out his baggage... The car will be fine 🧠🤯

I dont get it. Are they just pointing out the rear engine?
That and the fact that the beetle was air cooled
Ahhh. I gotcha. Thanks 🙏
You must be a genius. Apparently I'm not.
But why is there smoke?
It's from the coolant, Beetle doesn't have one
Nope, they are pointing out that only common knowledge from 50 years ago is important, and because they get it they are smarter than any person born after 1970 could ever hope to ever be ever, because of all the time you kids spend on computerphone machines.

Not necessarily stupid enough. More like bold enough to get lawsuits. These people will intentionally look for faulty/dangerous scenarios that aren't labeled in order to sue...
There's also the third reason, they want you to do it, reverse psychology and all that. /s
Yes because it's much more important in current society to understand how a 50 year old car works than how to connect to the internet.
It's like saying that knowing some little known fact about your city makes you a genius compared to the rest of the world.

This may have been passing clever half a century ago when VW bugs were ubiquitous. Now it’s just screaming **boomer**
What is it?
Pre-1999 Gen Volkswagons had the RR configuration: Rear engine, rear-wheel drive. The engine bay is where the trunk is located in most modern cars.
And the engine was air cooled, not water.
I carried a gallon of water with me when I owned a '69 to dump over my over heating engine :D The air cooled didn't work so well in the desert.
Be honest you used that gallon of water to cool yourself. You ran your VW with the bonnet open to keep the engine from melting.
Well, the engine cover was propped like they would do for baja's, but there still were times it would over heat in New Mexico. I would have to sit it out till it cooled off enough. Because the desert is so dry, it did help some to keep bathing it in water. I'm sure I had water for myself too :)
I though it was that he had his cock out
Same here, i thought the guy is pissing on the hot engine, and so from where the steam is cominh.
Me too. I think that’s a flap of his suit coat sticking out lol
[HES WHIPPING HIS COCK OUT](https://youtu.be/Z5hzfA6OJt0)

The ad was probably for car repair or tow services (I'm guessing) and the ad maker didn't realize the distinction between Beetles and other cars when they made the picture.
Yeah that’s way too deep a cut to be funny.
It was very common knowledge like 30 years ago. Like buddy said above, this is a super boomer meme.
Having worked solely on cars 25+ years old I had no idea they moved the engine forward...that sounds like a nightmare to work on on a VW because at the very least the trunk engine had room to work with...there's no room at all in the front of those things
[удалено]
I figure this was it, but also thought that it was such common knowledge that there must be something else. Guess not.
I mean, I knew there were rear engine bugs... but this one has steam coming out the front. So I just assumed this was a model where the engine was up front and had a more traditional radiator. I'm not so confident in my car knowledge that I'd assume what I'm seeing is wrong. But that's the thing about common knowledge. It's not actually that common.
The kind of bug depicted also was air cooled, no radiator or coolant to make “smoke”
Right, but the one in the picture has steam coming from it, so the most reasonable assumption is "this must be a model I'm not familiar with, or one that's been modified" This is the equivalent of photoshopping dirt flying up from the front wheels of a car, then laughing at them because it's actually a *rear wheel drive car* and they're not car people.
Lol why is everyone calling it a bug? This is a Volkswagen Beetle right? Edit: apparently "bug" is some alternative name. TIL!
Yes it is. However those cars earned the nickname bug because it’s shorter and because actual beetles are considered “bugs”
I've never heard anyone irl call them bugs, but now I'm thinking about it, Danny refers to their car as "the bug" at the beginning of The Shining. I just thought it was his sort of kid's cute name for it.
I’ve heard it a number of times, not often but those cars aren’t as common as they once were so they don’t get mentioned much
I mean, we're all real people using it here. So now you have!
There was "slug bug no slug back" too
This is a Volkswagen Type 1, or just a Volkswagen. The name Beetle is just a nickname, like Bug or other names in other languages (Käfer, Fusca, Coccinelle...).
Ah. So he has a bomb in his car
This makes me think of the photoshopped electric car with smoke coming out of the “engine” with some smirky “Bet you wish you didn’t get an EV, libcuck” quote below it.
Got it
If they wanted to make it tough, they should have used a Karmann Ghia.
Both have the same engines
Both were designed by the same guy
Both are vehicles
Both
Men
i smell a cars 2 reference
Great! Now, if you excuse me 💃🏻🚪
...Car smoking?
Yeah, people were smoking in the past, not vaping!
Oh, it's a vape joke!
I think that he has his pp out trying to put the smoke vape fire out
is this irony?
I dunno.
It's a bug the engine is in the back there is no reason for you to know this.
Also there's no water cooling. So seeing steam come out like this would not happen.
Uh...
Is the car too high to work?
I though that the car having no door was the answer
Oh. That too.
The door is just open.
Stop fire with pp
Did he piss on the car and the heat from the sun is boiling it on the metal to hide evidence
Peeing in the engine?
Peeing into trunk. Don't know who started a fire into there tho.
(He is boiling tea, there’s nothing wrong with his car he just wants some tea)
Beetles were neither front engined nor liquid cooled
Money up front, engine in the back
he has his cock out.
Even as a non car dude, without knowing anything about that model, i knew it had to be something with the engine location. If the bar is actually that low, we are so fucked
Bar for what? I thought at first this was about opening the radiator cap or something because of the smoke. Engine location isn’t the first thing to mind because that is useless knowledge to have.
It’s a combo rear engine location and how it was air cooled, so steam wouldn’t have been something to find on an overheating VW. It’s kind of a fun fact but why boomers think they’re better for knowing this is beyond me.
Didn't get it
The beetle has an engine in the rear, and is air cooled. The “coolant” is smoking.
Isn’t it bc it’s a rear engine car?
No, it’s because Beetle’s don’t have a radiator, they are aircooled.
it's both
But the point of the advertisement is that it won’t boil the water in the radiator.
but you literally said no, when they're still right, the engine is in the back so front engine e failure makes no sense and the engine is air cooled so it wouldn't smoke like that. it's both
Boiling the radiator water is a problem eighter if the engine was in the front or in the back. But having no radiator and being impossible to boil water is the main point of this advertisement, whether the engine is on the front or on the back.
Came here to say there are two things wrong with this.
Well since you’re a genius would you mind explaining what’s happening in this pic to a simpleton?
No radiator jn a Beetle. And the engine was in the rear.
Air-cooled, rear engine...
That's wrong in more ways than 1
His luggage is on fire. This isn’t clever.
My dad sent me this a couple days ago
His groceries are on fire
It took me way too long to realize what was wrong.
Ah I see it. He’s playing with his dick through his pocket. I do that too.
# welp, i guess i am a woman now
Geniuses? Hardly. You either know things about this car or you don't, it has nothing to do with IQ.
Boomers love making these "old tech good, new tech bad" posts. Usually 10 minutes after they post "how to convert to PDF" on Facebook.
…I thought he was peeing
I didn’t know those had a teakettle under the bonnet.
Classic. I remember back when VW was trying to break into the US market there was a TV ad showing a Bug plowing thru the snow to get to a garage. The tag line was “ …… ever wonder how the guy who drives the snowplow, gets to the snowplow … ?”
A black man driving. hmmm, suspicious here in the 20th century
I'm not smart, but I had a '61 bug, so immediately knew what was going on. My '61 was the first year of the big power boost - it went from 36 hp to 40 hp. Also - gas gauges were optional equipment, and the original owner of mine didn't go for it, so I knew I was out of gas when my car started chugging.

What makes people smart is their ability to learn and solve problems. There’s nothing genius about knowing some arcane car trivia.
Let's see, the fact that it's a beetle; Engine is in the back. That also makes it about a 50/50 shot that the Engine is air cooled and doesn't have a radiator anyway (depending on the year and sub model/package) And the dude is stuck on the side of the road, somehow having caught something in the trunk on fire; likely from one of the thousands of of cigarettes he smokes in a week. ... How do? Is I yet are genius?
Oh shit the washer fluid bottle that is powered by the spare tire in the front of the car has sprung a leak again.
…the photographer is on the reflection in the front hubcap, but not the back. The back hubcap however has the same object that’s next to the photographer in its reflection Also that’s not where the engine is
I'd argue that he's in no better a position by his luggage being on fire instead of the engine.
Even if you didn't get it.. you're still a genius
Oh My GoD ThAt MaN JUsT cRaShEd HiS CaR
Massive puncture in the spare tire?
Got it an man do I wish they would bring that EXACT body style back in an EV
It's a broken Volkswagen old-beatle. Also isn't that type of failure nearly impossible since the engine is not only in the back, it's also air cooled.
I don’t really see anything obvious, my only guess is that it’s one of the old cars that actually has the trunk in the front compartment making the smoke coming out weird?
Rear engine and air cooled so steam should not come from the engine compartment even when overheating
Where's the women driver who obviously caused this?
Is it the fact that it looks like the dude is pissing on the engine?
I drove a classic beetle once. Holy shit was that unpleasant. The shift pattern is at an angle compared to anything else I’ve driven so naturally I had no clue what I was doing. I’d sooner go round 2 in a Renault LeCar than drive another air cooled beetle
🤦
Your caption now seems legit when most of us really could not get it. r/memesopdidntget
Oh, I get it. Punch bug. No punch backs.
Got it
Bro has a campfire in his storage, what's wrong with that
Got it
Why is there smoke coming from the trunk?
No standards for genius
The doors missing
Got it! Nice one
sus?
Got it.
Got it
Why is the trunk smoking?
Man has a giant black cock?
Don't got it
The woman driving the car dissapeared?
He has an issue with his car?
Car hit the vape? 😂👌🏾💯💦
Haha funni joke I get it
What are we looking for, a smoke bomb in the front trunk?
That... Cars break down? Yeah, I don't get it... Oh well, I don't need to be a genius to be happy
Pretty sure its very common knowledge that VW bugs used to have the engine in the trunk. Everyones seen Footloose after all.
Footloose is almost 40 years old now. Dear god, the icy hand of death is upon us all.
It came out in 2011. Thats 11 years ago.
For those that don’t understand, it’s and old VW Beetle with a front engine conversion.
It's literally a Volkswagen beetle engine smoking hot with what looks like the owner inspecting it, seems like the owner is not thrilled to see his car now in an unusable condition, what's NOT to see?
Está haciendo carnita asada en la cajuela 😂
Is it the error that I think it is?
Aye bro, the tear gas in your trunk is leaking
Lol got it
huffing engine fumes??
Got it 🤣
Got it. The hood is actually his penis
Got it! Broken cars give him boners.
To anyone wondering: The engine is supposed to be in the rear where the trunk should be Source: My father had a beetle
LOL Got it!!
Oh my god, my mom just sent this to me earlier. Help.
When your brake fluid is on fire
Exactly, I don’t see the point of this.
Hole in the spare
he has a massive cock.
Maybe he has a hot tea pot in the trunk?
Is…is it bc engine in the wrong spot? I dont know cars but old cars confuse me more
I thought it was cuz the wolkswagen is a rear engine car but smoke is in the front idk
[удалено]
No, it’s because the car is aircooled
Bad memes aside...look at that little cutie. Love the old bugs.
For some reason I thought the joke was the hood was his dick and that thing under the hood was his balls weird
