whether you liked or disliked his schtick, andy rooney presented as a "grumpy old man" and people thinking that's hip and cool and funny to imitate when they are 35 are hilarious (derogatory)

Well, I read Andy's book, and when you know his history and him a little better it didn't come off as always grumpy to me. I liked him. Getting old is hard.

Imagine that guy talking about current day politics. He'd be talking about how the woke canceled his use of "retard".

I'm a middle aged man and this skit has lived in my head for thirty years.
