>he doesn't know actual boomer tv was even more grounded
Beverly Hillbillies
Adam West's Batman
The Brady Bunch
Gilligan's Island
The various Hanna-Barbera shows (Flintstones, Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, Wacky Races, etc)
Honestly the closest thing to absurd humour in popular media was Monty Python's Flying Circus, which was so late into the 60s that you really can't call it a boomer show like you could with, say, I Love Lucy.

Look up when Baby Boomers where actually born moron, Lucy would technically be a show of the Silent Generation and Python is very much a Baby Boomer show. Jesus Christ you're an idiot.
I don't know why people get so hung up and autistic on these labels, but I suppose it's mostly people who can't appreciate stuff that wasn't from their era
Zoomers aren't people. Especially ones arguing about TV shows made long before they were born, imagining they are somehow going to prove their retro gaming cred by doing so.
For me it's Kafka, but Dali mainstreamed a few absurd things, or at least tried to. I like the story that he signed blank pieces of paper to give out for other people to make forgeries of his work to sell for themselves.
It's a word association thing: anti-super hero -> poor mobility -> liftchair -> grannies -> dentures -> jaws. It's probably the same reason they have umbrellas: because Mary Poppins used to fly down from the sky with an umbrella... but here they are falling due to malfunction. I don't know. It's surrealist and dumb.
Sure!
brain -> brain waves -> a brain on a surf board looking cool -> cool -> ice -> a brain on a surf board competing against a slushy machine!
The possibilities are endless!

isn't there a game show with this sort of idea? although it's more direct in terms of connecting words, like say "hammerhead-headbang-bang for the buck" etc
Everything in this bonus room was lifted from unused content, the song was supposed to play in the beta flying king level that was meant to be themed around dragons.
>This means the shows are from that generation
No, like I've tried to explain through my example of The Sopranos, a show made in the "noughties" the decade of the "birth" of Generation Z, yet nobody in their right mind would consider The Sopranos a Gen Z show.
Just as Monty Python's Flying Circus, a show from 1969 to 1974 was made and shown during the years that are allotted to the birthing of Generation X, it IS NOT a Generation X show (which is what you were alluding to without saying so). It was made for the adults that were the Baby Boomers.
I'm taking umbrage at you saying shit like, and I fricking quote "This means the shows are from that generation, much like the kids are". NO, Monty Python was an ADULT SHOW for THE ADULTS OF THAT TIME, THE BABY BOOMERS.
And yes there's some cross-over with the generations and it can at times be a clusterfrick, and I appreciate that you've been civil, in the face of my abrasiveness. Maybe you're younger than me and don't realise that Monty Python wasn't a kid's show like Howdy Frickin' Doody. You're looking at the dates (or syndication dates) of some shows and incorrectly ascribing it to the generation that was born at that time, when in reality the reality of the viewership doesn't fit. (I'm not counting shit like reruns and syndication otherwise Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie could be considered X/Millennial/Zoomer shows because of the sheer amount of times that shit has been repeated over the years).
The Brady Bunch's original run was the exact same years that was Monty Python's Flying Circus' original run (1969-1974) yet you think one show is more out of time than the other? Do you see the folly in what you've said now?
Is there a joke? Isn’t that series just “le ebin randomness” type of hit or miss creativity
yes
I don't think it's supposed to be a joke, it's just a really iconic poster which breaks up an otherwise very plain wall graphic
Cow Tools
lmfao
beat the game first then give us your earthworm jim general instead of making a thread for every minute detail
>earthworm jim general
At this point it should be just the falling grannies segment general.
Taking it too serious
90's boomer/gen-x cartoon humor
Not enough irony for ya, lil z?
>dae remember...le late 50's and early 60's?!
Enjoy growing up with your 99% quipping movies zoomie.

after salvador dali made his paintings, absurdity hit the mainstream in my opinion

You mean my chaotic brain can be used creatively like this?
Sure!

"The $10,000 Pyramid" I think

It's the summer home of a supervillain goldfish. Of course Bob is going to be into Jaws.
what part of "Everything but Tangerines" did you not understand?
