At Urlesque, we are huge fans of the elderly. We revere the generations before us, especially the members of it who can even recognize what a computer is. Honestly, we don't care if they call it the "webernet" or they think a mouse has a tail -- it's all moot to us. We just appreciate the struggle on our behalf to remain connected, even from a distance, to the crazy computer language we all speak nowadays.

That being said, there are puh-lenty denizens from way "over the hill" who have wheeled and walk[er]ed their way into this crazy town we call the Internet. Here are some of our favorite senior citizens on the web:

  • If the methods by which the elderly used the internet (read: PATRIOTIC FWD'S) were turned into a video, you'd have Old People News:


  • Joe Biden isn't the only AARP member to get Auto Tuned. Eldertune focuses on the community T-Pain wouldn't touch with a ten-foot top hat.


  • Funny video in which your nana thinks e-mail is made of light (that is true, though, right?):


  • Senior citizens would never chew a Stereogum, but if someone's willing to film them checking out the newest Animal Collective cut, they'll surely take a listen (specifically from the back of a Philadelphia diner):


  • YouTube: what is it good for? Absolutely everything, including candid videos of old people in physical altercations.


  • Grampires: old people with fangs. What'd you say, Twilight? We can't hear you. We're too into this.
