    ....FOX, this is precisely why you're always the bud of innumerable horrible TV show jokes. Just stop...

    I can see it now. Make jokes that are completely not even remotely boomer or the extreme.

    I'm just sitting here....

    It's a really dumb idea/title for a show, but yeah, I look forward to the Boomers whining about it.

    Oh yeah, dumb title and if it's anything like Fox's recent comedies I bet it focuses on extremely low hanging fruit. That said the backlash in the current climate should be hilarious in itself. I mean... I'm just here to watch the world burn at this point. :lol 

    Edit: The added absurdity when you realize that Fox is now owned by Disney... :lolol

    Of anything you can possibly make, they're choosing to base a show around a fad/meme. What a waste.

    Reminds me of the "Shit My Dad Says" show that ran for 8 seasons and was critically acclaimed...

    I mean, I love the phrase/meme, but making a TV show of it kinda ruins the whole thing

    I really don’t find this meme funny, and I’m betting it will be a very average sitcom that tries too hard

    Part of me hopes that Disney shuts this idea down, now that they own Fox.

    Meanwhile in Mordor, Rupert Murdoch is cursing that he didn't green light Lazy Entitled Millennials before selling to Disney.

    And millennials are too busy with their avocado toast to care. Also distracted by some random social injustice as well.

    The meme is great for how much it’s legitimately getting under boomers’ skin, but yeah making a show about it... well, it’s never a good idea to make a show about a meme to say the least. It could always end up being a poignant, funny story about how the new generation isn’t putting up with the old folks’ bitching and moaning anymore... or it could be what most stuff fasttracked to take advantage of fads is, garbage.
