Good humor is lost on kids these days. Nobody’s laughing at videos of cats in sunglasses playing the piano anymore and nobody’s singing the songs on MTV. Kids these days are making deep-fried nonsense that makes no sense to anyone over the age of 25.

Fortunately, if you’re looking for a good ol’ fashioned laugh with some timeless funnies, you’ve come to the right place.

Scroll for some memes that you’d only get if your cerebral cortex is fully formed.
