I hate millennials.

I follow rap battle series' on YouTube, such as Epic Rap Battles of History and Princess Rap Battle.

There is one genre of video on YouTube that I will never understand. They are known as reaction videos. Basically, you watch someone watching another video and get their reaction on to the video they're watching. Why anyone watch someone watching someone else react to a video is beyond me. Why not just watch the video yourself and not give a rat's ass about how someone else reacts to it.

But perhaps they're something to it. You can watching clueless millennials say the most ignorant (and unintentionally hilarious) things.

Here's one of them from a channel known as "Renegades React," (in other words, all they do is reaction videos) reacting to a battle rap between Cleopatra and Marilyn Monroe.

As they introduce the video, the fat guy on the left sagely informs us that "She's [Marilyn Monroe] the one who gave birth to the original concept of a blond bombshell."

Oh, dear God. Perhaps if that obese slob would get off his couch and waddle over to his computer and Google "blonde bombshell," he'd discover a certain actress named Jean Harlow, who predates Marilyn Monroe by about two decades, whose nickname was "The Blonde Bombshell" and actually made more movies than Monroe, including one called "Bombshell," despite having died at the age of 26.

wait until Rolling Stone finds out about this:

Oh, Oberlin. You need better students.

Oberlin College's activist community is ready to call it quits. Progressive students are dropping out of college, citing academic and emotional difficulties stemming from their mental health problems and overall disgust with the toxic culture on campus.

...

Of course, some of these students probably feel unsupported because their impractical demands were not realized. Two examples: activist students not only wanted to abolish all grades below a 'C,' they also thought faculty members should proactively offer them alternatives to taking a written, in-class midterm exam.

Nursery school with beer? ✔

My solution for these types? send them to west Texas and put them to work on an oil rig for 6 months. Let the harsh mistress known as Reality teach them some knowledge.

Patrick, for most people history starts the day they're born. Anything before that is ancient history, and generally not studied.

I'm sort of impressed that he knew who Marilyn was. But I'll see your Jean Harlow and raise you a Mae West.

Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired.

"I'm sort of impressed that he knew who Marilyn was. But I'll see your Jean Harlow and raise you a Mae West."

I call both of then and raise with Tallulah Bankhead.

I know who Mae West was. Her famous sultry manner of speaking is still imitated today (probably by those who have no idea who they're imitating) and I've seen some of her movies. But Jean Harlow was nicknamed "The Blonde Bombshell." So, if you want the "orginal" blonde bombshell. You should probably go to the person who had the nickname.

As for Tallulah Bankhead, I actually once did a play with Florence Williams, who was the original Alexandra Giddens, daughter of Regina Giddens (played by Bankhead) in Lillian Hellman's "The Little Foxes."

I never considered Tallulah to be the "blonde bombshell" type. More like the original "evil bitch" type.

Here's another "response video" that annoyed me...although that's not hard to do, because "response videos" annoy me anyway.

This bright young star decided to respond to a battle rap between Gordon Ramsay and Julia Child.

1:13 into the video, this little rocket scientist says, "I also don't really know why they chose Julia Child to be the other person he's [Ramsay] is rapping against...I don't think anyone watching this is going to know who she is."

Facepalm.

It's not so offensive to me that he doesn't know who Julia Child was. What's irritating is that this hopeless moron couldn't have taken the time to find out. He might, you know, learn something.

Such as the fact Julia Child hosted the most popular cooking show of the day, winning Emmys and Peabodys. So had it not been for her, the cooking shows that Gordon Ramsay now has might not have been considered a possibility for a successful show today.

To say nothing of the fact that she joined OSS during WWII (being too tall to join the military) and invented the shark repellent still in use today that prevents the sharks from detonating the explosive ordinances intended for the German u-boots. That fact alone makes her more deserving of respect than Ramsay (who, if he were somehow prevented from using profanity, would not be able to speak at all).

I mean, when I watched the battle rap between Goku and Superman, I looked up Goku, because I had no idea who he was. (Silly anime character, vastly powerful, but not on a par with Superman.) It's not like walking to the public library and using the subject card catalog. Or hoping the the 28-volume Encyclopedia Britannica was up to date.

I call both of then and raise with Tallulah Bankhead.

I'll raise you a Lillian Russell. Be sure to click on the audio link for a 1912 recording!

New beer commercial idea for Dos Equis:

But when I do, I lie about it."

Disney takes their wait times seriously, and tries to optimize the problem so that people spend more time having fun and less waiting:

"send them to west Texas and put them to work on an oil rig for 6 months. Let the harsh mistress known as Reality teach them some knowledge."

They wouldn't have any fingers left IRA! Seriously, we don't need their crap. Though to be fair many of them would end up in a shallow grave on some rancher's land and never be heard from again. Still, the oil patch is hurting enough without being forced to clean that crap up.
