How do you call out a boomer complaining about kids these days?

0:05.0

Didn't you guys have pet rocks in response to an adult having a temper tantrum over fidget spinners?

0:11.0

Ah, your generation is soft. It's all the participation trophies you were given.

0:16.0

Sure, but who gave us those participation trophies again? Who was that?

0:20.0

You know what's really strange about participation trophies? The other parents really push them on you if you don't want to participate. After soccer season last year, I said that we didn't need to get trophies because we didn't win the league. I'm the coach of a U-10 girls team.

And with soldiers like you, we lost two of them. This might be my most favorite comment in the

1:20.2

entire world. It's just a bonus that it's Germany. Not to diss most Germans nowadays,

1:25.1

you all are pretty cool. My grandma said something along the lines of,

1:29.2

Young people are so offended these days.

1:31.7

So I reminded her that back when she was born, women were being arrested for wearing pants in public.

1:36.5

I usually come back with,

1:37.9

Says the generation that has a full-blown temper tantrum every time someone says,
