If it’s an iPhone 17 mini I would probably fall for it.
I used to say that I would never have a big phone and didn’t like the look of them. After getting a Pro Max, I can’t go back to a small phone. I’m old, I need the bigger screen! (Plus the longer battery life.)
What anglers deserve.
29/12/2025 and boomers are still rehashing the “phones bad” joke. Can’t say they don’t have perseverance.
The joke isn’t so much about the phone, as it is about a fisherman getting fished by someone above the panel. The same is happening to him as what he’s doing. It could be anything that’s attractive on the hook…
Y’know what, I give up. It ceases to be funny if I have to explain it multiple times. Y’all win, phones bad, Apple bad.
That’s… pretty good!
Joke’s on you, I’m gen z and I think phones are bad
Your issues are blinding you.
I’m not an Apple person. Can someone explain the joke?
It’s a joke about phishing scams.
The fisherman is being fished by someone above the panel and the bait is the iPhone.
are you fucking serious because this could have been a joke you just made so please tell me ARE you fucking serious
Not a joke. I get it now though.
People falling for consumerism just like fish fall for the bait?
One of Apple’s genius is making their products look premium so that you get a hit of dopamine every year when you buy a new one.
While that’s true, the joke is that there’s someone above the panel using “bait” to catch him. It could be any kind of phone, or anything else that’s attractive.
I used iPhone for about 6 months or so. There is nothing premium about it, especially the App Store, which is filled with slop, as Play Store is.
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit I guess
no.
Sorry.
I’ve seen this episode of Rocko.
