Younger guys have been approaching me lately. And asking me to buy them alcohol.

In this stand-up line, Wendy Liebman uses a quick reversal to joke about aging and shifting social status. Being approached by “younger guys” initially sounds flattering, as if she’s receiving romantic attention. The punchline—“asking me to buy them alcohol”—undercuts that expectation and reframes the attention as purely practical: she now reads as old enough to be a proxy adult. The humor comes from the gap between the audience’s assumption and the mundane reality, and it also points to a common midlife experience: realizing you’ve crossed an invisible threshold where youth culture treats you as an authority figure rather than a peer.
