Comedian Hilariously Goes Off On Gen Z For Constantly Picking On Millennials—And She's Got A Point

Comedian Hilariously Goes Off On Gen Z For Constantly Picking On Millennials—And She's Got A Point
@ilizas/TikTok

Comedian Iliza Shlesinger went off on Gen Z in a rant during a recent show for always mocking and criticizing Millennials, reminding them to 'never forget that we walked on Instagram so you could run on TikTok.'

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.

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.

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
