Can older people stay funny with today's youth?

Hey all. Came across this YouTube channel called "Seniors React." Looks as though this channel is new, but seems promising. The concept behind the videos are to get old peoples reactions to things that are popular with kids. For me, these videos bring up an interesting topic, which stems from an interesting conversation I had the other day with my uncle, who's been a comedian/actor for over 25 years. He said that the older generation of comedians and actors are going to have a much harder time staying relevant with young people than ever before, because nowadays young people are getting their sense of humour off of YouTube, and old people know very little about being comedically relevant with the YouTube- youth driven culture. When I showed my uncle Seniors React he was surprised by how well it was doing with young people.
