I don't know who that fat cock is, but nobody does my boy Boromir dirty like that. Chicken for dinner tonight!

You seriously don't know who Foghorn Leghorn is? Did you somehow manage to avoid seeing Looney Tunes cartoons as a kid, or are you making a reference I don't understand?

[–] StaticFalconar@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, the kids nowadays haven't grown up on looney tunes old man.

I'm in my 30s lol. They weren't from my time period, either, but everybody watched the reruns in the 90s and 2000s. The old cartoons were everywhere in the media (and I thought they still were). You couldn't avoid them.

Edit: Also I find it odd that someone would recognize a LotR character but not a Looney Tunes character. LotR reached peak popularity around the same time that LT was ubiquitous.

Like he said, old man.

20 somethings dont even know who Justin Timberlake is

As if Justin Timberlake could ever dream of being as powerful as The Almighty God that is Bugs Bunny. Bugs and Daffy got a 2010 reboot, nobody's even thought of JT since he whipped out Janet's tiddy.

I mean he had that small comeback with Can't Stop the Feeling, but otherwise I agree.

This is your yearly reminder that at statistically if you are over 35 you are halfway through your lifespan, which makes you middle-aged if you like having words mean things.

So that's what's wrong with them! Sad state of affairs. I bet they don't even know who Bob Clampett is! Much less Max and Dave Fleischer! For shame.

I can't say I watched many Looney Tunes cartoons...
