Boomer humor at its most basic. "Them young 'uns think they're so smart, but they just got schooled...that's why you gotta respect yer elders!" Right, because unplugging a single node is going to save the network servers. I've literally only seen this clip of the show, but that blatant pandering to boomers told me all I needed to know. Also, fuck 12.

I've always took that scene to be way more about not panicking and thus missing the obvious solution than any sort of boomer humor.
