No joke, once my mom called and asked me how to take a picture on iphone and send it to me for printing. It took me 15 mins to patiently explain it while she took notes. 1hr later all I got was an sms with the word ''picture''... I cried for the 1st time in 6 yrs.

It's not about age.. My father is 60 and he would kick most people's asses on fixing computer issues, bar maybe an IT professional.. The issue is with all the cunts who spent the entirety of the 80's, 90's and 00's ignoring computers at every opportunity, either hoping they'd go away, or branding them as something only the geeks needed to know about.. Now those stupid fuckfaces need to use a computer to do almost everything in life, and they barely know their Shift from their Caps Lock, let alone navigating a basic webpage or file system.. Admittedly though, it keeps Business Development Managers like me in the IT industry employed, because there's not one, not two, but literally three generations of fuckface cunts who thought they were too cool to use a computer during the early years, and now anything more complex than double clicking on Google Chrome makes their miniscule brains melt out their ears..

My dad keeps asking me about these things that he finds annoying his phone with his phone but whenever he does so he never has it on him because it is being charged in his room. He would try to describe the problem in incorrect terms and if i could tell him how to fix it, he would listen very carefully as if he was memorizing it. And the next day, he would ask me about the same thing again, and still without bringing me his phone. Turns out its just old people being old.

This has got to be his best yet

I just love how angry he is 😂😂🙌

I genuinely laughed out loud from this 💀💀😂 oh lord, this man is hilarious

I can relate to this soooo much. The most excruciating form of torture.

That was one of the best bit from him. Love it!

That part about him talking about torrents, knowing which stuff to click & viruses. He was so spot on with that. Back in the mid 2000s, I had to basically self-study how torrents work in computer cafes & even got computers infected just to figure out which damn button to click to start downloading. Now after years of constant exposure & luckily only having infected so little PCs with viruses, I can confirm that you don't just simply explain to anyone how to torrent right.

My boi was in his feels this was for sure a real call

Even trying to explain to my mom how to use the computer in person is excruciating. It's amazing that she now knows how to use WhatsApp and forward videos. But now she does it too much and I've created a monster

This guy is great.. The way he delivers the joke, and also talks about real daily stuff with a hilarious twist is legendary, like how to explain to your mother what link to click, you just know.. and it's so true... you do know what ones to click and don't click.. but the "years of corporate abuse" at the end was next level genius spin for comedic yet truthful honesty at the same time. The joke about the mother being a virus herself, whatever she cilcks on.. is a virus is so true to so many levels of my frustration.. Trying to explain to my mother how to attach something to her email, what to click and not click, yet every week her computer is somehow loaded with spamware, and virus's... It's like the moment she touches that mouse virus's just pop up on their own.

Dude, this is the funniest standup i have seen in the longest time. I have seen other videos of you and have loved watching your work. You are funnier and funnier every time. Keep up the great work, brother. Btw, the movie bit is exactly the conversation i have with my son and the computer bit is exactly conversation I have with my mother. I couldn't stop laughing.

Omg. Finally a comic that talks about this situation that i go through all the time.

He’s good ! I’m impressed and gonna check out more of his material for sure

This was gold.

Oh God, so true! My mom only uses YT on her laptop but somehow gets new programs/malware installed every other day! I'm constantly uninstalling/rolling back. Don't even mention whenever Windows has updates. Major mess every time! I love her but like Ronny here I usually end up screaming as I try to explain anything computer-related 😂

One of the most hilarious things I've ever seen one of my favorite actors in Crazy Rich Asians

This is literally like the time I had to explain my mom how to click the three dots on the screen to go to settings on Google. I was dying 🤣🤣🤣 so relatable

I’m Japanese but Jesus Christ I can soooo relate on the technologically illiterate Asian parents. I had to spend 20 minutes explaining to my mother the concept of what internet scam and spam emails are. She legitimately believed that someone was in grave danger and needed money immediately and required her bank account information. The whole conversation started when she asked me to proofread her English in the scam email she was replying to. I’m so glad I was able to explain to her in time.

Yep, too true!! Fell off my chair laughing! Thank you!
