Millenial in the slightly under 30 crowd: There actually are still a few celebrity comedian types that could still pull me (and everyone in my millenial friend group) to subscribe to a new network with original content (Jon Stewart, Dave Chapelle, Dan Harmon), but those guys don't come cheap. Most of my friend group couldn't even name famous Youtubers / TikTok people though, that must be a Gen Z / borderline-Gen-Z millenial thing. If quibi was actually interested in making stuff to suit millennial taste, they should have focused on absurdist comedy, which is usually short-form anyhow. Stuff like Eric Andre or Adult Swim's "Infomercials" series ("Too Many Cooks", "Unedited Footage of a Bear" + many others that vary from amazingly memorable and funny to unwatchably awful) is exactly the kinda of stuff that I wont invest over 20 minutes in (absurd humor tends to get boring when it loses it's novelty), but whenever I find one that's really good - I'll show it to all of my friends. Having a decent budget, cast and production quality also really makes a big difference with what can be accomplished, so random absurdist youtubers usually can't provide the same experience. The fact that the Reno 911 reboot is the only thing on quibi doing well sort of confirms that the "weird comedy" genre is still underutilized. Edit: Apparently someone has already written about this trend far more eloquently than I did: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/aug/13/how-did-millennial-comedy-get-so-surreal https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/aug/13/how-did...
