I worked in a video game store for a long time. I can tell you the interactions I had with grandparents were always my favorite. Example: Nice older lady comes in wanting a new PS2, or pre owned (yes this was a while ago). I ask if someone in the family is getting into video games. She says no, her grandson already plays a lot and had a PS2 until it broke. What happened you may ask? Apparently he heard about the laser used for reading disks and thought it could heat up a round slice of cheese he wanted to eat. Needless to say, the machine was broke. Side note to funny story, her grandson’s favorite videogame was GTA. I doubt he was old enough for it if he thought a videogame console doubles as a microwave.
Given how generic and/or decopyrighted and/or dated/nonexistent almost everything in this strip has been so far, I would’ve fallen out of my chair if I was sitting in one!

Ehh… given how the Darwin Awards always go to adults, and also given how there are plenty of stupid adults this strip has showcased, I beg to differ.
Best one I heard of was from a co-worker. He had a customer ask for “Mario for the Playstation XBox”. No lie.
