What is it about the literary format of this meme variant that makes it so hilarious to a certain type of millennials? Someone help me understand why I think it's funny.

Is it because the idea of a parent taking any kind of interest in the things that matter to you is so ludicrous that you laugh to hide the pain?

It’s also funny because often times the games we were playing didn’t have a strict way to “win.”

If you were playing an RPG, at any point are you winning or losing? No, you’re just playing.

It makes fun of boomers for having a carefree and ignorant attitude, and everyone likes it because most people used to be angsty, edgy, self-conscious teens and can identify with the situation in this "format".

oh, it's about gaming. I thought it was to make fun of the way boomers talk.

yes, it's only about video games. I just saw the first minuteo f >>16693387 and this guy is a schizo
maybe the approriated the meme for something else but it used to be about gaming back on /v/ even before /lit/ existed

it's both. it's just a joke about having boomer parents who walk in and ask their son about the video game they don't understand, but the format is used to humorously portray various other zoomer habits that would be alien to older generations like having the dad walk in and their son is dressed up like a cat shoving dildos in his ass for strangers on the internet
