The premise
Here’s the bit.
As a staff meeting at Brenner Goods wraps up, Ron Brenner singles out the company's newest intern, his nephew Tyler, and announces that he has been memed once more. Standing beside a screen, he works through the offending images one by one: his earnest dating-profile photo captioned to promise women a bad time in bed, a joke about being a virgin in a sex cult, a lewd invented quotation and a Chris Hansen gag shared by Michael Rapaport, and a dig about a priest at communion. He rebuts each caption in painstaking detail while his embarrassed employees try not to laugh. Tyler apologizes, explaining that he now gets paid to make memes and the money helps with his tuition, but when Ron pleads that he only wanted another shot at romance, Tyler reveals what his uncle's dating profile actually says about the age of women he wants and the website he uses to find them, and Ron's attempt at a defense only makes things worse.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
If I was in a sex cult and not having sex, I would leave. Trust me.
It's not creative. You know what it is? Libel.
In my defense, they're much easier to control that way.
A little extra

Ron Brenner ?
All right, good meeting, gang. Before we go, does anyone have anything else they'd like to share? Maybe our newest intern, my nephew Tyler.
- 00:11
Tyler ?
Nope, nope, I'm good.
- 00:12
Ron Brenner ?
Oh, okay. Well, why don't you not play dumbass with me? See, my nephew Tyler here memed me again, and you all know it. He turned me into a meme, and I'll be honest, I'm pissed again.
- 00:24
Employee ?
Are you sure this is all a misunderstanding? Fah!
- 00:27
Ron Brenner ?
Exhibit A. My perfectly handsome dating profile pic. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just a normal adult man looking for a smart and funny adult woman. And what do I see posted by my sweet nephew in the company Slack this month? Swipe right if you want bad sex. You think this is funny? Look at me. You think this is funny? Women might see that and think it's true, and it's not. I get great reviews, thank you very much.
- 00:55
Employee ?
I am so sorry, Mr. Brenner. I assure you, no one thought this was funny.
- 00:59
Ron Brenner ?
Oh, really? Because y'all seem to really love this one. When you in a sex cult, but you still a virgin? Hey, listen up, peanut gallery. If I was in a sex cult and not having sex, I would leave. Trust me.
- 01:13
Employee ?
Got his ass.
- 01:15
Ron Brenner ?
Look at me. Hey, look at me, you dunce. Everything about this, when you do this, it sucks for me. All right? Look what popular meme account PurpleDrankPosse posted. Hello, darling, you may whack me in the penis with a golf club. Now, I don't know why that's in quotes. It's definitely not something I've said. But, look, this was tweeted out by actor and New York legend Michael Rapaport when she come over and say, hi, my name is Chris Hansen. What an outrageous accusation. First off, the fellas go to the little kid's house on that show, not vice versa. And why would she be saying, my name is...
- 01:53
Employee ?
We don't have to get into logistics.
- 01:55
Tyler ?
Look, I'm really sorry, Uncle Ron. I'm getting paid to make memes now, and I need to practice. It's helping with my tuition.
- 02:01
Oh. Oh.
- 02:03
Ron Brenner ?
Is this gonna help you get through college, you limp biscuit? How about this one? That feeling when the priest put his fingers in your mouth during communion? Look, what an awful, awful, what an awful image. I hate that. I hate it. Next.
- 02:18
Employee ?
Okay, that's creative.
- 02:21
Ron Brenner ?
It's not creative. It's not creative. You know what it is? Libel. But, hey, I guess that's what I get for thinking love was possible for a guy my age. I just wanted to find romance again. Is that such a crime?
- 02:35
Tyler ?
Then why does your profile say only interested in 18- to 24-year-olds?
- 02:40
Say what? Excuse me?
- 02:42
Ron Brenner ?
Oh, it does. That's probably one of those default settings.
- 02:45
Tyler ?
No, you wrote it out in text. I mean it. If you 25-plus, don't waste my time. And why don't you tell them what website you're on, Uncle Ron?
- 02:54
Ron Brenner ?
-"Tinder."
- 02:54
Tyler ?
No. -"Chicksinprison.com." Sugar daddies looking for inmates.
- 02:59
Employee ?
I'm sorry. What?
- 03:00
Ron Brenner ?
Okay, please, in my defense, they're much easier to control that way.
- 03:05
Mr. O'Brien, Uncle Ron! Oh, my God.
