At least we can both take a lesson from this: life is not fair

This made me wonder, since the TV series came out a long time ago. Generation X ended ~1980. The original Dragon Ball series started in 1986. So there are Gen X kids (not that you have to be a kid to watch it, but that’s the most likely audience). So there is a time overlap of Gen X kids and Dragonball.
Just musing over that particular thing. I feel it’s safe to say it’s generally outside of Gen X culture.

I’m firmly a millennial and know dragonball from the version where the ::: spoiler Pig guy wishes for underwear at the end ::: I have no problem believing gen xers were too old for the dragonball I remember and the later ones on cartoon network or wherever.

You shouldn’t even need to know what dragon ball is for this with basic reading comprehension, I’m sorry.
Being appears, asks what the goose wants, then says “as you wish”

Replace the dragon balls with a magic lamp and the joke still works the same.
