He shamelessly strokes the egos and pats the hands of the self-described "Most Important Generation" through segments entitled "Hey You Punks, Get Off My Wireless Router," "The Blinking VCR," "Still Doing Drugs, Only Now There's a Co- Pay," "The Brightside of Extreme Maturity" and "Hope I Die Before I... Oops, Too Late."
