Prescription medication commercials with classic rock soundtracks. Because nothing says 'nostalgia' like Bob Seger being used to sell incontinence medication.

My great grandma was doing email and games and instant messenger on a linux desktop well into her 90s and once asked "How do I get cousin barry to stop forwarding me all this stupid poo poo?" and then picked up the phone and told him he was a loving moron.

Bonzo posted:Niagara Falls is about the only place in Canada you'll still find a Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood. There's also a TGI Friday's, Applebees and Margaritaville. Ooh, yes! I forgot about Margaritaville! Here's the full list of 'restaurants' at the MOA that serve terrible food that boomers will pay triple the normal price for, because they're on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!! Rainforest Cafe Buffalo Wild Wings (right next door to Rainforest Cafe) Bubba Gump Shrimp Company (which is, again, literally across the hall and in front of Rainforest Cafe) Margaritaville (kiddie corner from Bubba Gump Shrimp) Hooters (one floor directly above Margaritaville) Dicks Last Resort (kiddie corner from Hooters) Cadillac Ranch (three sections down from Rainforest Cafe, think of it like a overpriced Applebees with stronger drinks) Cowboy Jacks (replaced Tony Romas, it's like a Texas themed bar and grill that serves the same Sysco brand appetizers THAT EVERYONE ELSE SERVES. Oh, and free popcorn.) Bennihanas (who wants a onion volcano and $14 green drinks in a collectible plastic flute cup?!) Corona Cantina (Up on the 4th floor away from anything else; may actually be closed, I never saw anyone in there. Same schtick as Margaritaville, but somehow less unique.) Hard Rock Cafe (because nothing says 'rock star lifestyle' like nacho cheese fries) It also has a Wahlburgers and the bakery from Cake Boss; they also had a Tim Hortons until they closed this week for no apparent reason.

Infinite Karma posted:Boomers idolize Forrest Gump. A simple, charismatic moron with no special talent, who succeeds in life beyond anyone's wildest dreams. And he got to be on TV a bunch of times. Because he was part of the 60's, volunteered for Vietnam, became a hero, but without the icky 'civil disobedience' baggage. He even had a Black Friend. He's Republican Boomer bait, pure and simple.

Dan White: Hey Forrest, heads up! *throws ping pong ball* *Forrest ducks* Forrest Narration: He was always joking around and playing cops and robbers with everyone *Dan mimes shooting someone and laughing*, he was a real nice guy to be with. *Dan gets dizzy and falls down* Forrest Narration: He also kept getting these funny spells, and nobody was quite sure why. *Forrest helps Dan up and sits down with him* Dan: Thanks, Forrest. Man, I feel lousy. Did they serve lunch yet? Forrest: Yeah. Dan: Damnit. Only good thing about this place is the food. Maybe I can get something at the PX. Forrest: Oh, I saved you something. Them USO girls were handing out cakes. *Forrest hands Dan a Twinkie* Dan: *elated* Wow, thanks Forrest! *eats Twinkie* Oh, that's the stuff. Forrest Narration: Dan went back home, and got himself a real important job with the government. Later I heard one day he ate too many Twinkies and shot someone.

Or why it's this great math challenge. Just round up the sales tax to the next whole dollar, double it, then toss in a few extra bucks.

DorkusMalorkus posted:That's only by default, though. If John had lived he would probably have been the boomers' favorite now. By 2019 he'd have renounced all the peace and love stuff decades ago and fully embraced his mocking of gay people and Jews, and his abuse of women. And it was Paul who kept Yoko around all the time, not the other way around. His first wife reported he slapped her around and also hit his son, and I'd bet big money he hit Yoko too.
