It's like the equivalent of finding out your kids also like Thomas the Train or Pokémon as you did once. Mutual meme humor is way more precious though.

My wife asked me why I carry a gun around the house.

"To fight the motherfucking Decepticons," I said.

She laughed. I laughed.

The toaster laughed.

I shot the toaster.

I'm not one for mocking someones appearance, but he was a total cock so I'm gonna go ahead and mock his appearance.

I'm 38 and remember this R****t moment, she wasn't even born when it landed. She's a very cool kid.
