Old people online

Oh, bless their hearts. The internet is a confusing place, isn’t it? One minute you are trying to wish your grandson a happy birthday, and the next you are threatening to sue Amazon over a charger. I’ve been there! But these old people online are taking it to a new level.

The lady asking Burger King to remove the letter C? She is a protector! She is looking out for her family! It is sweet, even if she missed the joke entirely. And the woman with the “Stand United” frame? It is colorful! It is festive! Who cares if it doesn’t match the tone? At my age, you use whatever frame you want. If you want to put doves on an Employee of the Month post and make it look like an obituary, you do it! It keeps people on their toes!

The intersection of technology and the older generation is a beautiful, chaotic place. We have collected the funniest comments, accidental posts, and confused reviews from seniors who are trying their best to navigate the digital world.

Amazon Q&A where a customer replies aggressively to a simple question about a charger.
Facebook post with a floral background and a woman avatar warning people about Walmart.
Ahipoki Employee of the Month post for Maria featuring a celestial clouds and dove background.
Facebook status update on a red heart background asking "Jay Leno How r u".
Facebook avatar of a smiling woman with the text "I just threw up!" overhead.
Facebook post on a basketball background announcing that "Debbie has lung cancer."
Facebook exchange where a user asks if there is a website and receives a literal answer.
Text message conversation where a grandpa tries to use his grandson as a search engine.

The Walmart warning with the flower background is my favorite. It is such a gentle way to deliver a scathing review. It says, “I am angry, but I also like roses.” These interactions are pure comedy gold because they are so sincere. Never change, old people online. Never change.

If you love wholesome confusion, keep reading. We suggest checking out facebook fails, boomerang humor, and tech support jokes for more generational comedy.
