Born in 1988. It wasn't lost on me. Am I old now too?

This is the equivalent of “only 90’s kids will get this”. Don’t shame others for not knowing a reference you like, share it with them instead.

Though I disagree it would be tragic to lose this reference. It’s not a good movie. It’s basically “say thing, immediately interpret it literally”. Throw in some stereotypes from time to time. Rinse and repeat.
