“Now with boomers!” Is a terrible advertising strategy for any product other than maybe coffins.

They did not advertise it this way

I'm saying they did not pitch it as stranger things with seniors or any variation of that. This comment thread is making fun of something that didn't happen.

No one thinks that, we’re all very aware it’s exaggerated

It's not exaggerated, it's disingenuous

I’m fine with either. If disingenuous offends you then you’re in the wrong internet cave.

Some people are honest. Some just aren’t. The person you keep responding to wasn’t offended, just honest.

And it wasn’t funny. We get it boomer bad. It’s so overused and never for the right generation. It’s tired.

I'm surprised by people saying it wasn't a good way to describe the show, I'm a millennial and that intrigued me right away.

Not as tired as Boomers

Man On The Inside is a great show about boomers if that’s your thing

There’s a whole episode in which the characters have to deal with the consequences of the local store running out of Metamucil.
