    I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic.

    This is from a bit on Malcolm in the Middle. This kid is on the shoulders of another, who is on the shoulders of a third. They are playing hoops with the father, and by gaining such height, they easily reach the basket and win the game.

    The youngest, who is on top, tells the father “the future is now, old man”, suggesting that times have changed, and the rules that once allowed the father to flourish are no longer applicable. The younger generation are changing the game and will win in the end.
