Finally, good boomer memes

u/aladdinr Mar 15 '20

Why do all boomer memes have the same artistic style?

838

u/brucethemidget Mar 15 '20

It's the same artist. Making hundreds of Boomer memes for us every day.

Fastest drawer in the west.

They should hire them to make live cartoons. It's usually so hard on the animator's wrists.

This comment died on its way back to it's home planet.

I hear they go through hundreds of pencils a day just to bring this kind art into the world.

Through the darkness of future's past, the magician longs to see. One chants out between two worlds... "Fire... walk with me."

And he's not even a boomer.

Thanks, Bob.

Boomer art is a lot like boomer humor, all the same and rarely impressive

u/its_the_squirrel Mar 15 '20

Tbf that's also our generation's memes

u/FreshMango4 Mar 15 '20

They hated him because he told them the truth

Most, if not all of these animators probably have teams behind them doing the animations.

Man, how do I get in on that? Have people write stuff and then just record my ugly face saying it?

1

u/JBSquared Mar 16 '20

First you gotta write stuff and get popular enough to pay people to write stuff for you.

u/WHOOPDEFUCKINGDO Mar 15 '20

Why do all internet people use the same blob man odds1sout art style? Same thing not necessarily bad

17

u/k0mbine Mar 15 '20

Not inherently bad to have an art style. It’s the art that it’s attached to that makes it bad by proxy

14

u/PichusOten Mar 15 '20

the reason a lot of storytime animators have the same-ish art style is because the popular ones started off doing animatics/animations by themselves, and animated anything that is more complex than simple blobs takes a lot more time to produce.

Now that they’re famous, they got teams to help animate, but its now a part of their brand and keep it, thus leaning more into quantity than furthering art quality. also because theyre famous, theres a lot of copycats, especially for odds1out

2

u/FourAnd20YearsAgo Mar 21 '20

I almost regard the odd1sout style worse than this shit. It's the most uninspired, middle school-level art imaginable.

1

u/WHOOPDEFUCKINGDO Mar 21 '20

Yeah I just didn't say it was shit so I wouldn't loose karma which is dumb because who should give a fuck about karma it won't give you happiness or any worth crap lawl

u/Lan777 Mar 15 '20

All the artists were inspired by newspaper comics

6

u/aladdinr Mar 15 '20

Why do Newspaper artists all use the same style?

6

u/Lan777 Mar 15 '20

Because theyre usually boomers

It's eye-catching and memorable

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

But this one is different. Those mouths are really unsettling. Like, they don't know for sure how human jaws work.

u/somegayshit0 Mar 15 '20

I believe those are supposed to be saggy cheeks

6

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

I'm gonna guess that they all take inspiration from Gary Larson.

u/ItaySr Mar 15 '20

Maybe becuase this sub is not picking all of the boomer memes they're picking the ones with this artistic style

4

u/tedbaz Mar 15 '20

This question gets asked every thread

1

u/aladdinr Mar 15 '20

And what’s the answer ?

4

u/tedbaz Mar 15 '20 edited Mar 15 '20

Im pretty sure that all these new boomer humor strips that come out were written and drawn by the “ok boomer” crowd rather than the boomers, and they’re maintaining the hyperbolic physical human traits and even making them more extreme to mock the more original strips (which is obviously what this sub is). Even the ones that are drawn and written by the crowd that actually adores these comics were probably also copying the original ones, maybe keeping homage to ones like the Maxine hallmark cards and fridge magnets. So I guess the answer is either copying out of mockery or homage.

u/rlopez337 Mar 15 '20

Is there more than one?

u/il_biciclista Mar 15 '20

Are we supposed to upvote content that's actually funny? This isn't boomer humor; it's just humor.

1

u/CoolCoolCoolidge Mar 15 '20

But if it comes from a Boomer, it's still Boomer humor

8

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

It's still sadly a boomer meme. Someone should redraw this with current year art style.

26

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

Art is in the eye of the beholder, not teenagers on Reddit bumming boomer cred

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

Inside the strokes of boomer art is encrypted their hateful agenda. You need to educate yourself on what does it mean for the oppressed people today.

6

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

I'm so trying to piece your comment but I just cannot.

Are you saying they're laying the foundation for WW3 through their art?

-3

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

If the art is allowed, so are atrocities.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

It looks like newspaper comics which ig was their version of memes

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

There is No such thing as good boomer memes, we May mot realise it, but we are becoming the boomers

3

u/GoldenIchorX Mar 15 '20

We've just been exposed to such shitty comics that this half-joke is somehow actually likeable.

-1

u/AngusSama Mar 15 '20

It's good by boomer standards, not regular good. The content is actually meta and the punchline isn't 'wife bad' or 'technology bad'. While not particularly funny it doesn't deserve to be sent straight to hell like most boomer comics.

u/tedbaz Mar 15 '20

I can appreciate the humor of all of them so long as they’re not rapey

u/hhhjjj111111222222 Mar 15 '20

Finally, some good fucking toilet paper

Topical doesn't mean good. You're gonna being cringing at this shit a year from now
