I love these segments. Not a"Your generation is ruining America" bullshit, but rather two different generations sharing their experience and having fun with some lighthearted rib jabbing.
They probably just all forgot where they put their reading glasses. Sadly, they couldn't see each other well enough to realise that they were all wearing them pushed up over their hairlines. When someone invents a pair that beep when you clap twice, the US economy will crater, due to the collapse of the entire opticians sector
Coincidentally my buddy was out on store shelves at the same time a movie about a very similar doll that murdered people. Someone in marketing did not think that through

@@katla_phc Gen Z is not Zennial. She's a Zoomer. Xennial is Gen X, the generation before Millennial, and Millennial.

This is the only segment on tv comparing generations that doesn't constantly belittle Millennials/Gen Z tbh I especially love that he phrases it as having "a different frame of reference" and not "doesn't know stuff" like so many (late night) talk show hosts
After listening to Conan O'Brien talk about his experiences as a writer in many of his podcasts over the pass few months. It occurs to me that people like Karen aren't just cute personalities that they put on a segment. She's a writer that means she's smart, talented, hard working and probably works really fast under preasure because of deadlines on a show that airs daily. At 24 you look at her and go, "that girl has hustle", good for her.
My friends brother had a My Buddy and he threw it down the stairs one time and I thought HE had flung himself down the stairs and I screamed “NOOOO IAN!!!” My friend couldn’t stop laughing and still brings it up today. Like 35 years later. Jesus we’re old. (Neat story Karen P!)
I'm 34, so I'm right about in between Seth and Karen's ages and I feel good because I knew all of the things shown in this and it makes me feel special. Older Millennials: old enough to know some 80s and 90s stuff, young enough to know stuff from 2000 and beyond. ^^()
When heelys were cool, I was already over 30, and my wife refused to let me have them. I can relate with John Oliver...we're the same age..lol EDIT: Dang, better get some! My wife has no idea I had pro skating training as a kid. (44 now)
I'm 38 ,had my last pair at 34 , I'm trying to design a better frame for them and make my own wheels,since the bearings on the factory wheels dont last long for me, I'm 200 lbs 🤷🏻♂️
I had that exact my buddy, one with curly hair and the my little sister. I loved them!!! And it was great that I was also obsessed at way too young of an age with child’s play.
I knew both Seth's and Karen's and I'm 33, but I also had younger siblings as well as a SIL that is 10 years younger AND I live on the internet. Us first wave Millennials are called Xennials for a reason lol
The hilarious thing is I was just talking to my friend on Wednesday about My Buddy and Kid Sister. Right before talking about Easy Bake oven and Creepy Crawlies. Then Talking about the Nintendo cereal and the TMNT cereal. Yeah, basically forgotten stuff.
Yeah, I"m in my late 50's and I think I'm a bit too old for My Buddy. The only reason I knew it was because a few years ago the Minnesota Twins signed Buddy Boshers as a relief pitcher and someone on a Twins chat site posted an old ad for My Buddy. Could not get that damn jingle out of my head for about 2 weeks.
I had those, too! Can't remember what they were called, but I always think of them when people bring up Heelies. I ruined mine. My friend was driving and I opened the car door and held on as he drove down the rode. It was a thrill, but the wheels got eaten up
The My Buddy doll line was a toy brand made by Hasbro in 1985 with the intention of making a doll to appeal to little boys and teach them about caring for their friends.

"I was too old... I was in 8th grade." Why, when I was in 8th grade, you needed permission to even touch a computer, never mind go online, unsupervised, and talk to strangers. Glad to know the internet is safer than when I was young! =P
For you maybe, but I had unfettered internet access at that age. But then their weren't sites like club penguin. We just all made our own angelfire pages. :)
I love these segments. Not a"Your generation is ruining America" bullshit, but rather two different generations sharing their experience and having fun with some lighthearted rib jabbing.
Agreed, it's such a fun segment. I love that they flip it at the end too :)
to be fair though... The housing market, tge education cost, the health care cost and the climate crisis arent the millenials doing.
There was no "rib jabbing". That would be assault at the minimum and not something you would want viewer witnesses for.
Ok Boomer
Not a"Your generation is ruining America" bullshit. Two words: Tide Pods

I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN SHE SHOWED CLUB PENGUIN THAT WAS LITERALLY MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD
Wow! You literally didn't spend it learning English. I mean, literally.
Didn't make merch? We have stuffed penguins and puffles, cp mancala, the plastic action figures, card-jitsu.. Karen, your parents lied to you.
I havin good time back then,I really do,and then on the last day everyone was say cherish each other and say good bye,I still remember all the dude name that used to hang out with me,hope they all have good life now :)
Look up Opus the Penguin, the OG of penguins.
"LITERALLY"? Turn your damn caps lock off.
Seems like such an easy to do segment, yet it's delightful every single time.
It's beauty is the simplicity.
"Is this a haunted doll?"
Yes it is
Absolutely 👹
When Seth said-“ Active Active Virtual Penguins!!”
I really felt that.
"active, active, virtual penguins." It's called THE INTERNET, seth.
Penguin: I totally got that wrong even though I had two answers: "The Linux logo" and "Pingu".
Legit thought Linux for sure, which admittedly would have been odd for Karen to bring up...
I also thought Linux. And came to the comments to make sure I wasn't alone.
It's totally pingu
"Why is the Linux penguin so sad?"
@@RikardPeterson I'd be sad if I had to use Linux. I'm already sad enough that for work I sometimes I have to use a Mac. #WindowsForever :-)

JG, we weren't talking about YER MOM.
--Dave, since you seem determined to drag the comments down to that level
@J G She's so cute she seems like someone who's fulla beans
Great laugh too.
3:55 "And now I'm going to show you stuff that you haven't seen."
"Or maybe I have; I'm cool and young."
"...Um, okay."
PERFECT.
I love this segment!
Karen is the most adorable human I can think of.
This segment is actually really cute and entertaining. I'd like to see more of these.
I love it that Karen is the “resident millennial”!
if she's 24, she's actually Gen Z
I think she just makes the cutoff, which is around '96. But surely there are writers that are more in the middle of the millennial range on the show.
I really wouldn't call her a millennial.

From now on, club penguin will be referred to as "virtual penguins."
Young late night writers: what do they know, do they know things? Let's find out!
JaQuicker I want this crossover episode
excellent comment
Club Penguin is closer to Zoomers. But, NEOPETS is all Millennial!
Ayyy neopets!!! Why was that so important to us lol
Welcome to NeO pets. What about Poptropica?
Karen's 24 so she's zennial and we had neopets open in one tab and club penguin in the other

I adore this segment. Karen is super funny, but especially watchable. I just love her & this is so much fun!!
When I was a kid my grandma bought me a my buddy doll at a yard sale and when presented with it I cried because oh my god what a terrifying doll.
and it was marketed towards boys
Jason Phillips is that just like a fun fact for me?
for you, for me, for anyone wondering
I thought it was a sweet idea and didn't know before I looked it up.
That's because the doll marketed to girls was Kid Sister. I desperately wanted a My Buddy doll. I didn't get that or Teddy Ruxpin or a Cricket doll.
Karen didn't know Kato Kaelin. She's blessed.
Now I know I am in for a juicy Wikipedia search.....😃😃😃😃
@@walkz007 Basically, he's most famous for being at the wrong place at the right time.
But he did used to date Leyna Nguyen which means Kato won big.
@@obbor4 I had to look her up, but she is a very lovely lady.
Oh because he’s part of the oj trial? I didn’t know this born 91 little older then her.
Seth: I’m cool with the young
Karen: Ummmmm... ok. 😂😂
its ' i am cool and young'.
I like the segments with Karen, more please.
I send these bits with Seth & Karen to my niece in college.
I think it is a great way to stay in touch with her.
We both enjoy them. 👍✌🤘
How long before Karen brings the asian and millennial jokes to 'Jokes Seth Can't Tell'?
Karen Chee is a national treasure! Please include her in more bits!!
These are becoming my favourite segments. Karen is a delight!
This has become my favorite segment.
She’s so cute. Hopefully the joker doesn’t murder her like Seth’s previous writer.
I see Karen and I click.
TMI dude
Oh my god, she's the pure innocence this show doesn't deserve.
Love the segment!! Keep em coming 💕
I love this segment! Always brings back memories when Seth shows his cards. And am also curious to know if I can even name anything Karen shows.
My friends brother had a My Buddy and he threw it down the stairs one time and I thought HE had flung himself down the stairs and I screamed “NOOOO IAN!!!” My friend couldn’t stop laughing and still brings it up today. Like 35 years later. Jesus we’re old. (Neat story Karen P!)
Seth vaguely remembering jingles is a big mood.
I'm 34, so I'm right about in between Seth and Karen's ages and I feel good because I knew all of the things shown in this and it makes me feel special. Older Millennials: old enough to know some 80s and 90s stuff, young enough to know stuff from 2000 and beyond. ^^()
Lol I love it. She's just too sincere to be worried about mainstream celebrities. She didn't even know what an MTV moon man is and that's still around
Karen you're rocking those bangs, girl!! Love this segment!
When heelys were cool, I was already over 30, and my wife refused to let me have them. I can relate with John Oliver...we're the same age..lol EDIT: Dang, better get some! My wife has no idea I had pro skating training as a kid. (44 now)
That's a shame. You should still get some.

No, no, wait... a whole season!
Club Penguin! Oh, the memories! Karen, you are magical. Thank you so much for showing Seth this staple of my childhood
this has become one of my favorite late show segments
That moment when you realize you were born in a cross roads between these two generations and got all the questions right 😆
Speaking as a full member of Gen-X...this is totally rad.
Karen is adorable! It was nice to have a segment that was just fun and heartwarming =) More Karen!
Good God...Kato Kaelin is 60-yrs old now & OJ is 72! Time flys...right!!
But Nicole just stays the same age!
I’m literally in between these two in terms of knowledge.
I'm 34... technically a millennial and knew all of Seth's and none of Karen's.
Karen could technically be Gen Z/Gen We/whatever comes after Millennials - the "Millennial" cutoff's right around 25.
same.. i feel like 24-26 year olds are an entire different generation.. im 33
I knew both Seth's and Karen's and I'm 33, but I also had younger siblings as well as a SIL that is 10 years younger AND I live on the internet. Us first wave Millennials are called Xennials for a reason lol
I'm 35, but I have kids so I got both!
I'm in my twenties and knew all of Seth's and only one of Karen's. I kind felt like this sketch's items were lame.
couldn’t stop giggling after Seth called heelys wheelys
I love this segment. So I can see where I fall!
I love watching these 😂 Even though they make me feel really really old.
This is such a great segment! Karen is always so adorable and sweet.
4:45 Oh my god just had flashbacks as soon as that penguin showed up.
Karen is SO PURE. We must protect her at any cost.
I saw sad lookin penguin and thought “a Linux user”
She gets so excited about talking her penguin. It's great
Awesome segment! Want more stuff like this! Karen's such a fun young woman.
At first I wasn't on board with these segments but now I totally enjoy them 😁
She's adorable.
I love that you feature your writers!!!
This is fun for me because I'm in between their ages and get both of their references. It's so much fun.
I love being the same age as Karen because I get to play along! This is my favorite segment on any late night show!

And that was BEFORE Child's Play...
@@azuman7 Every time a new TMNT or Spider-Man cereal is released to promote the newer versions, I'm mad they're not just Chex with marshmallows. :)
The My Buddy jingle was the 90s Kars for Kids...damn you Seth!
I'm 33 and had a pair of shoes that literally had an entire set of roller skates pop out of the bottom. They were SO heavy I never wore them.
I had those, too! Can't remember what they were called, but I always think of them when people bring up Heelies.
I ruined mine. My friend was driving and I opened the car door and held on as he drove down the rode. It was a thrill, but the wheels got eaten up
I'm close to Seth's age and have never heard of My Buddy. But I don't feel like I missed out on much.
The commercial and jingle is more iconic than the actual toy.
