54 Light Bulb Jokes: 2019 – The “I Love You 3000” Edition

In 2019, we reached the end of an era. The Avengers assembled one last time, Game of Thrones concluded its watch, and a tiny green alien known as “Baby Yoda” conquered the internet. It was the year of the “Old Town Road,” the rise of “VSCO girls,” and the terrifying realization that 30–50 feral hogs could invade your yard at any moment. The humor of 2019 is cinematic, meme-saturated, and deeply “meta.”
