This is a pretty common style of humor among older people IRL, I feel like? The problem isn’t that he isn’t thinking of them as people, the problem is that since they can’t see him laugh at their reaction they never get let in on the joke, which is an important part of the difference between joking and trolling.
Yeah, this sounds like Ken M style pranking. Just playing the fool for some laughs. No one gets hurt, and some people might get a fun story out of it. This is what pranks are supposed to be.
Anons grandfather is extremely based
And heart medication pilled.
Anon’s grandfather should know there’s a human at the other end of all internet interactions and they deserve some respect too.

Eh, sounds like he is just doing some harmless trolling, I dont think that’s disrespectful. Basically the internet equivalent of a prank

Thank you! I don’t think I’d seen all of those. This one has always been my fave:
Thanks for sharing that, i’ve never seen that one! Ken M is a gem lol
Absolutely! He’s just got this special sort of naivety that I find hilarious.
Is he still active?
This is one of the best I’ve seen so far.
I haven’t seen anything new in years. This one has to be at least a good 5 to 10 years old, as I think it may have been among the first I’d ever seen.
Depending on what was said, misinformation can absolutely cause harm, either directly or indirectly.

Thanks, /u/SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Yeah. Being an asshole is easy.
The first troll didn’t know the term troll. It’s not a unique idea.
Trolling to get a rise out of upsetting people has been linked to mental illness.
Some trolls are just shit communicators and are too stupid to recognize the wake of their discourse. Gramps doesn’t appear to be one of those.
The internet could be so much nicer if we all just treated people the way we wanted to be treated.
except I like being trolled too. not everyone thinks the same
Some people like having their nuts stepped on but I’m not doing that to everyone I meet.
So maybe it’s less about treating people they way you want to be treated, and more about treating people they way they want to be treated?
Maybe I could get them to fill out an engagement survey.
I should check with my focus group.
Funny, but don’t you think it’s worth making the distinction?

Are you assuming my emotional reaction to any of this?
Sounds like you’ve got a case of the stupids.
