This recent character has been popping up on 4chan lately. He's known as Family Tech Support Guy, and he's a reluctant college student who came home for Christmas only to find a host of computer-related questions from the family, all so trivial and beneath him that he can only respond with reluctance and disdain.
I just had a sad thought: This goateed fellow is probably a dying breed. Most people having kids right now are pretty tech savvy. My generation might be the last one that will be able to lord their technical prowess over their parents, dispensing pithy remarks and saving the annual Christmas slideshow ("OK now put it back on 'AUX.' You have to point the remote at the DVD Player, not the TV. Gosh Dad, just let me do it.") in a single bound.

Note: On Windows computer, the Add-Remove Programs folder often fills up with spammy toolbars and other gunk if you don't know how to uninstall things properly. So there's that joke.

The average meme on 4chan doesn't last long so this isn't much news.

I admit that my parents actually have me beat on the television front. When I moved out, I decided to forgo a TV, while my parents then invested in a big ass Comcast OnDemand what-the-hel-is-it. So when I visit I have to have my mom explain all the little buttons again. Pretty embarrassing.

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
My sides are splitting with laughter.
I would *LOVE* to know who started this meme. Because I know the guy. Worked with him a couple years ago. He is notorious for keeping his picture off the internet, so he must be spitting mad right now. (He hasn't posted to Facebook since this meme hit, so I don't know for sure.)
