Millennials are very good when it comes to stuff like posting selfies at Coachella, but there are some skills they lack. So we went on the street this afternoon to ask young people if they can open a can of paint. It's not so hard but let's see if these passers-by can figure out how to do it.
Generation Useless: Millennials can't open a can of paint
What we are seeing here are the big city kids, most likely the product of democrats that vote contrary to the rural parts of their state. They are just as dumb as their parents.
I’m saying this because I live in a red state and our young kids are not as experienced, but they are not as dumb as those shown in the video.
The concept that all millennials are stupid is not a reality, rather a regional thing.
Imagine you’re a celebrity obsessed millennial who has a choice of opening a can of paint and being forgotten or acting like you don’t know how and getting national television exposure. Which would you choose?
But we are in good shape if ever we are invaded by an army of zombies...
I bet a .30-06 would open it.
This is the generation (today’s teens and 20’s) that wasn’t taught to do these things.
But they know how to find how-to videos quickly.
When they need to do something, they just pull out their phones and do a quick YouTube search.
I never opened a can of paint until I became a homeowner. And then I thought, "They could probably design something better."

You’re kidding right - very effective in all places when really needed - not really - in my opinion!
“How many of their parents took the time to teach them?”
Over the years I have been amazed at how much stuff I learned by just watching my dad. He didn’t take time to teach me. He just let me watch.
Millennials are very good when it comes to stuff like posting selfies except many in the process fall over cliffs and other misadventures gaining them a live action shot as they fall to their deaths. So perhaps not so good with the selfie thing after all, but good a thinning the gene pool ...
I bet some did pull out their phone and YouTube’d it, but those people didn’t make the filming cut.
I wouldn’t need Youtube to show me how to open a can of paint, but it is amazing how helpful Youtube is.
I recently changed a washing machine door seal with the help of YouTube, something I would never have attempted on my own.
Whenever I do a home repair I’m not familiar with, I look on YouTube first.
Do they even know what paint is?
I like the one where they are trying to dial a rotary phone:

Paint is a function in HALO 5!
Yeah. If your millennial child is that clueless a lot of it is on the parents.
It’s like, you know, like, a Sharpie or something, like, you know???
The video is just pathetic.
Jimmy kümmel is disgusting
I always blame millennial parents.
I like that one, too.
