When John Hughes released The Breakfast Club, teenagers were all Gen X. A discount Chuck E. Cheese playing the big hit in a video arcade is not very subtle.

- scotty79 5y agoThe Breakfast Club from 1985? Sorry, I messed up generations. Thought Gen-X came after millenials not before. Oh well, maybe the ad missed the mark because Gen-X are already so old they firmly started telling themsrlves fantasy that there's something noble about having your body wrecked by age and knowing better than younger generations and dismissing the notion that changing world brought anything of value. And they just hate this ad for trying to pull them back into reality. Then offering virtual salvation falls flat because they already have estabilished virtual reality in their minds that setves them well.
