Inter-generational conflict has been a staple of comedy bits for millennia. Millennials may have finally found their voice in comedian Iliza Shlesinger, 40.
In a clip from a live set that went viral on TikTok, Shlesinger expressed frustration over Gen Zers using the comments section on TikTok videos and elsewhere to relentlessly mock Millennials.
She wondered, hilariously, why Gen Zers don't see that their TikTok dances came from years of Millennials posting coffee pictures to Instagram.
Shlesinger encouraged the generations to stop bickering and to team up, instead. Both are struggling in a difficult world. And, she pointed out, the only reason the two generations are even fighting at all is because they are the only ones in the TikTok comments anyway, bar a few lurking Gen X-ers.

@ilizas Millennials walked on Instagram so Gen Z could run on TikTok 🏃♀️ #standup #genz #millennial #eldermillennial
People in the comments, albeit mostly Millennials, loved the bit.
They gave more examples of things Millennials did so other generations could flourish.



Some liked Shlesinger's descriptions of Gen Z.

People were really feeling the surge of revolutionary spirit.

Folks said the two generations should team up to fight other generations.

Some older Gen Z-ers wanted to be left out of it.




The Gen Xers in the comments were just here for the show.



Really, what Millennials want is some sleep, not inter-generational cultural warfare.


Accused of avocado greed from one side and of "cheugy" behavior from the other? Brilliant.
There's clearly a reason this comedy bit went viral.
