We Used to Watch Whatever Was On

Text on the meme

we used to turn the tv on and just watch whatever was on there

What it means

A group of children listens to an elderly Homer Simpson tell a story while sitting outdoors. The joke nostalgically contrasts the old habit of turning on the television and watching whatever happened to be airing with today’s on-demand viewing culture. It is used as a reaction to express nostalgia for simpler pre-streaming times.
