A 58-Year-Old Comedian Asserted That Gen Z Lacks Fundamental Life Skills, And I Need To Hear Your Thoughts On How Accurate That Is

If you've been browsing the web this week, you've probably come across a now-famous stand-up routine by family-oriented comedian Karen Morgan.

Recently, Karen took the stage at Dry Bar Comedy where she cracked jokes about the stark contrasts between Gen Z, millennials, Gen X, and boomers.

In the video, Karen remarks, "Gen Z doesn't know how to write a check; they don’t know how to address an envelope; they don’t know how to read cursive; they can’t read a paper map." She then adds, "All I’m saying is, if Gen Z takes control, getting it back will be a breeze."

The clip featuring Gen Z was shared on Dry Bar Comedy's TikTok account, and it quickly gained traction with over 692,000 views and countless comments. Gen Z users on TikTok were quick to respond:

"I understand it's all in good fun, but as a member of Gen Z, I can do everything mentioned here. Using a paper map might be tricky, but it's not impossible."

"Wait until she discovers that most of us actually do know how to handle these things."

In the midst of conflict, Gen Z was able to find support from older generations:

"I never got these 'jokes.' We should have been the ones teaching them, or are we upset because we no longer need those things?"

"When my Gen Z child was 5, he taught his boomer grandmother how to use her iPad, just saying."

It would be great to hear from Gen Z themselves about what they think we're capable of:
