The first instance of this joke I remember was in the post-apocalyptic action drama from 2002, Reign of Fire. Starring Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale.
“This is water!”
“It’s important to stay hydrated.”
Was probably the most funny for reasons the director didn’t intended moment of that movie.
I don’t know why people think it’s like a cool thing to shit on Garfield. It was on forever you may not like all of them but I guarantee there’s some in there that will kill you. I dunno maybe it’s people expecting that a comic is going to be hitting it out of the park every single strip which most are not.
It’s that it appeals to a certain generation of humor. The humor tends to be bland and predictable if you read even the first panel, much like this comic. But that doesn’t mean you can’t like it, if you don’t find it bland nor predictable then you are not a lesser person for finding it funny.
Btw, did you mean millenials or Gen Z? Some of us elder millenials are 40 or older now, a fact that Gen X and Boomers sometimes have trouble remembering…
