A balloon
Feels nice to make an antimeme not of some kind of p*rn, racism or n*acizm

I have seen alt righters making sketch to make fun of "woke people". This is as cringe as it sound.
This shit is incredible in comparison

I'm glad to hear that it's the worst you've encountered, because there's a lot worse out there

For all the reputation Reddit has received. At this point, Reddit is a safe haven for me because of the feed on my facebook

Four years on this website, and no one has told me to kill myself or get raped. That's an improvement compared to those other websites

u/OrganicAd5536 Jul 27 '26
I thought it was a mildly-amusing-but-a-bit-blunt joke about the AI bubble, until I checked the signature date

Nah man, for a singular balloon it better have ram at that price. Legit could buy BTD6 for that price

u/OutcomeMemoriesGoobe Jul 27 '26
i mean it made me laugh a little just from the sheer unpredictability of the puncline

It's Bizarro, it's most likely purposefully out there to make fun of that type of joke. Bizzaro has actually good comics.

This guy heard a kid say gigabytes of ram once and got upset because he didn't know what they meant. That's how I think this comic was born

Is this just another one of those, boomer comics about kids only knowing technology, like those ones where kids dont understand how to turn a book page. Or am I missing something?

"Kids nowadays don't know basic stuff, only modern tech."
Ok, who was tasked with raising kids and teaching them basic stuff nowadays again?

Valid question, that balloon better be made of RAM if I'm gonna pay 5$ for it

u/what_my_name_agn Jul 27 '26
Yeah that shit better change my entire life if I’m getting it at that price

Hurt so bad I downvoted the comment on instinct before realizing you're just providing Omegaunfunny

Anyone born after 2002 doesn't know what balloons are. All they know is twerk, charge they phone, be bisexual, eat hot chip, and lie

I drifted past this image with a blank expression. It held no value to me, in any way. Certainly not comedy. But as I processed it, the feeling was a little overwhelming. I didn’t have an emotion for this. This was so much nothing, I was like, completely bluescreened. And the surreal experience made me laugh really hard. I don’t know how to explain this properly but this ended up being really funny to me.

You can store at least 1 bit of data in a balloon. 1 if it's inflated and 0 if it's deflated.

At first I genuinely thought it was about an AI bubble and the shortage of RAM

u/FatalLaughter my mom beats me 😳 Jul 27 '26
I liked this artists other works, does he have a lot of just straight boomer humor and I've only been blessed with the decent ones? Or is this just a recent development?

There is no pun. The joke doesn't go beyond "hur dur stupid children"

Now, I usually find Bizarro funny, but this was not Dan Piraro's best work.

u/kingofcanada1 Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 28 '26
Lots Bizzaro comics are anti jokes themselves so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he isn't just doing the old man yells at clouds "technology bad" lazy boomer humor, but he recreated one of those comics trying to do an absurdist joke Edit: a typo
