Funny “I’m This Old” Posts That Make It Easier Than Ever to Find Your People

Some memes and hashtags have been around for a long time, even though we wish they would go away, but listen. These things persist for a reason, and people using the phrase “I’m this many years old” and “I’m this old” posts just aren’t ever going to get old.

I think it’s because we all like to reminisce about our youth, and if we’re going to remember how old we are, it’s nice to realize that we’re not alone.

So, here are 15 people who are as old as you are – you can tell by the pictures you recognize.

15. If you took it inside with you, no one could steal your stereo.

Is that how it worked, or just how we thought it worked? I honestly don’t know.

14. The day you filled them all up was the pinnacle.

You really loved music then, obviously. Even though on some of the CDs you only listened to one song.

13. Had them all, still at my mom’s house.

And they smelled so stinking good.

12. I’m not quite this old, because I played with a hand-me-down.

But I definitely did play with it.

11. That was definitely a thing.

But no, it wasn’t really cute.

10. I was weirdly obsessed with my mother’s grade book.

It’s just so orderly!!

9. My husband’s work truck literally had one of these last year.

It was like he was time traveling to the 90s every single day.

8. Teachers today wouldn’t even know what to do with this.

Does it go backward? Upside down? Both.

7. The new ones they make are sooo cheap.

The old ones are probably deadly but they were sturdy!

6. I have no idea how this works.

You just click random cells until time passes, right?

5. I went from this to texting in my lifetime.

It’s been quite a ride, y’all.

4. Wooohhoooo I am younger than this?

Is it a tiny vibrator? A flashlight?

3. Toys that didn’t cause pain were a waste of time.

We’re still a little sick in the head.

2. Square pizza day was everything.

Also, you needed the pencil sharpener so you could drop off the notes.

1. Toys are the fastest way to find your tribe.

I have no idea what these things are, for instance.

Hey, I’m old, and honestly, I’ve never been happier. So there’s that.

Also it’s really awesome we don’t have to change actually CDs in our cars anymore.

Jimmy Fallon Asked Viewers for Their Best #QuarantineQuotes and These Folks Delivered

Jimmy Fallon tosses hashtags out to his viewers and asks for them to basically write his jokes for him, and even though he – like other comedians these days – is doing his show from home, people are still coming through.

Like these 14 people, who showed up with some truly hilarious quotes from their time cooped up at home.

14. How about neither, because nothing is wrong with you!

Seriously, though, if you have a problem, get help.

13. Hahahaha what on earth.

I wonder if Mom knows?

12. She’s just trying to save you the embarrassment.

And also her career.

11. I’m sure you still look beautiful.

Because no one should care what you weigh.

10. Mind your business is the best advice a mother can give, honestly.

Maybe we should do a fire drill at my house.

9. I don’t feel like I need to add anything here.

It’s really funny, though, right?

8. The ratty ones just won’t do for that work call tomorrow.

What would people think?!

7. That’s not something my parents would have ever said when I was in high school.

I was suuuuper popular, y’all.

6. There’s only one way to find out.

But you can always try again tomorrow.

5. Because sometimes it’s just really hard to wait until after bedtime.

And also no one has a bedtime anymore.

4. A lot less “winning money,” though.

And also less fun. Admit it.

3. Username checks out.

But I mean, she’s not wrong.

2. I assume you said thank you.

And then maybe cried yourself to sleep.

1. Hahahaha bless his heart.

It’s so sweet that he thinks he’s going to school.

 

This was exactly what I needed today, y’all! How about you?

Do you have something funny to add to the list of quotes? Share it with us in the comments!

Enjoy Classic Films With These Special Codes From Netflix

Some people think “older” movies are just plain boring.

I couldn’t disagree more. Especially now that some movies from the 1980s are now considered “classics.” Man, I’m getting old…but I guess those flicks are 30-something-years old so when I thought movies from the 1950s and 1960s were classics when I was growing up, the previous generation probably thought I was nuts.

ANYWAY, the point is that you should use these codes from Netflix to watch different classics. And they’re even broken down into helpful categories.

To access each of these individual categories, sign into Netflix and replace the “xxx” in this web address (www.netflix.com/browse/genre/xxx) with the corresponding code number below OR just click directly on the links we provided.

Now-Classic Movies That Flopped at the Box Office

Something is terrible one day, people love it a month later after it gets a cult following, and sometimes, it takes years (or more) for people to really embrace something that was once dubbed a failure.

One of my favorite examples is It’s a Wonderful Life, the now-adored Frank Capra drama about a man who learns that life is about more than success and money and adventure. People really hated it when it hit theaters; I bet a few of those people were gobsmacked to see it become a beloved holiday staple in thousands of homes.

Here are 13 other movies that you probably can’t imagine life without – but were totally panned and dismissed at the box office.

13. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

This movie might have been a little too niche and uncomfortable for the mainstream audience – it lost around $12k – but since then it’s amazing cast, killer aesthetic, and quotable script have endeared it to many.

11. Mother!

Despite an all-star cast (Jennifer Lawrence in the lead!), people just weren’t interested in this film and it barely made any money at all. Since then, people have embraced the quiet horror parable and is celebrated by fans and critics alike.

10. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

This film made about $1M, still considered a flop in the industry. To be fair…that movie is pretty messed up. You kind of have to go into it knowing what to expect and being okay with it.

9. Donnie Darko

This one flopped to the tune of $3M and only stayed in the theaters for about 28 days. It was unsettling and unique, and came out about a month after 9/11, but since the world has changed, people have come to embrace this little cult hit.

8. The Rocky Horror Picture Show

No one is really sure how much this one lost, but it was a good bit – since its original release in 1975, though, it’s been screened longer than any other movie. It’s a legacy.

7. Blade Runner

It might surprise you to learn that both Blade Runner movies underperformed at the box office, but here we are. Of course they’ve found much love among scifi lovers the world over.

6. Heathers

This precursor to the modern power chick flick lost almost $2M at the box office, but has made up for it with video, a musical, and even a television series.

5. Hocus Pocus

Personally, I don’t get the love but this is a Halloween staple in so many households. Audiences agreed with me at the outset, and didn’t seem to really connect.

4. Kubo and the Two Strings

This one made a relatively small amount of money, but audiences soon realized what they were missing and embraced this fantasy gem.

3. Matilda

I can’t believe this one wasn’t a smash-hit from the start, but there’s no accounting for taste. Critics were generally positive, and now, of course, people have embraced this off-beat story.

2. The Shawshank Redemption

These filmmakers barely made their money back on a movie that would come to be almost universally beloved. It did impress the Academy, though, and with a re-release, people began to see what they had initially missed.

1. Almost Famous

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this Cameron Crowe classic, but it totally busted at the box office. People now love this coming-of-age drama for its cast and vintage feel.

Good art always rises to the top in time, like cream.

Can you think of other movies you would put on this list? Share with us in the comments!

Hey, ‘Schitt’s Creek’ Fans – Here Are 18 Other Family Comedies Worth Checking Out

I love Schitt’s Creek. In fact, it might be one of my favorite shows of all time, and I can’t remember the last time I was so bereft watching a final episode – not because it was a sad or bad episode, but simply because I knew it was the very last one.

Now, I’m not saying that any of these 18 shows will take its place, but if you watch a couple of them, the hole might be a bit less empty.

18. 30 Rock

This series was created by Tina Fey and is loosely based on her Saturday Night Live experiences. The zany characters and offbeat humor will remind you of the strangeness and warmth brought to life by the characters on Schitt’s Creek.

You can stream the entire series on Hulu.

17. Arrested Development

The Bluths are another eccentric and wealthy family who finds their world impacted when their patriarch is sent to prison for fraud.

It’s currently streaming on Netflix.

16. Community

People who have found this show really, really love it – the series follows a lawyer who enrolls at a community college after having his degree revoked. It might not be about a nuclear family, but people fall in love with the family he makes (it’s an amazing cast).

You can watch it on Hulu or Netflix.

15. Kim’s Convenience

If you’re looking for another Canadian-made family sitcom, look no further. This series follows the Kims, a Korean-Canadian family who own a convenience store. It’s full of family warmth and quirky locals that you’ll grow to love.

It’s streaming on Netflix.

14. Champions

Mindy Kaling is behind this story about a happy bachelor who discovers he has a 15-year-old son.

You can catch it on Netflix right now.

13. Grace & Frankie

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin head this offbeat comedy about to suddenly-single older women that’s full of the kind of heart and humor that fans loved about Schitt’s Creek.

The series is currently streaming on Netflix.

12. Santa Clarita Diet

This is a horror comedy (that’s a thing) starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant. They play married realtors that find themselves in a quandary when Barrymore’s character becomes a zombie. It falls under the heading of “family sticks together through everything,” and is as sweet as a family show about a zombie mom could be.

Check it out on Netflix.

11. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Kimmy Schmidt spent 15 years living in an underground cult bunker, and after being rescued, must learn to navigate the world as a totally new person.

It’s available currently on Netflix.

10. One Day at a Time

This is a remake of a 1975 sitcom that follows a single mother of two, her mother, nosy neighbors, and more who come together to create a feel-good family sitcom.

This show is still going, and new episodes are available to stream on PopTV. You can watch previous seasons on Netflix.

9. Shameless

William H. Macy leads this dysfunctional family and a dramedy that’s unorthodox enough to fill the void.

It is currently airing on Showtime.

8. Everybody Hates Chris

This show is based on the real life of comedian Chris Rock as he grew up in 1980s Brooklyn with a pretty eccentric family of his own.

You check it out on CBS or Hulu.

7. Transparent

This series follows a divorced father of three after he comes out as transgender to his three adult children. This amazing dramedy is adored by critics and has won many awards.

It’s streaming on Amazon Video.

6. Veep

Sure, being VP doesn’t make for a normal family, but the characters are quirky and hilarious, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is always a delight.

You can stream the series on HBO.

5. Atypical

This is a coming-of-age drama that follows an autistic teen as he makes forays into romance and dating.

The series is currently streaming on Netflix.

4. Modern Family

This contemporary take on the family sitcom has delighted fans and critics for its entire run. If you’re looking for something as inclusive as Schitt’s Creek, this one won’t disappoint.

It’s streaming on ABC and Hulu.

3. Raising Hope

A 23-year-old man discovers he shares a child from a one-night stand, and that the woman is now a convicted serial killer. The man takes custody of their daughter and learns how to raise her with his eccentric parents and grandmother.

You can check it out on Hulu.

2. Dead to Me

This dark comedy about two women who meet and bond after meeting at a grief support group comes packed with twists, turns, and surprises.

You can stream the series on Netflix.

1. Workin’ Moms

Four working moms form a lasting bond after meeting at a mommy support group and offers a funny take on women out there trying to balance it all.

It’s streaming now on Netflix.

I’m definitely going to give a few of these a try (keeping my expectations lower than “as amazing as Schitt’s Creek).

What shows would you recommend to someone who loved David and Alexis and Moira and Johnny? If we missed it here, please share it with us in the comments.
