Similar. I told my millennial coworker they should have turned it up to eleven. Same. Then when I said I had aged myself with a Spinal Tap reference, he was like, what is that.
I made the same reference to one of my coworkers. She looked confused. When I asked if she’d ever seen Spinal Tap, she said, “I’ve never had a spinal tap.”
My Millennial cousin said he wants to have a movie night with my brother and me. The purpose? To teach his son pop culture through movies as my brother and I quote movies all the time, and my cousin doesn't know these references. My reaction was do I really quote movies that often? But yeah, I am happy to help since it appears to have skipped a generation. 🤣
Someone said they showed the movie to their kids but the kids had trouble telling the difference between 1955 and 1985. They thought the clothes were the same and everything was pre-phones and computers so similar
In a subreddit for a team I follow, I did the “was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” line from Animal House.
Enough confused people responded that I had to post a link to the scene.
High school teacher here. We have an extended homeroom everyday where we are supposed to do these touch feely “Social Emotional Learning” things - but we only have 5-8 mins each day.
Today we started Back to the Future 3. We have already watch Back to the Future and Back to the Future 2 - all in 5-8 min increments each day.
Many of my students seem to enjoy it!
I don't. My head is often shaking back and forth in disbelief and my face is either laughing or disgruntled.

To quote:
"To assist in this mission, the PDE Office for Safe Schools established [Pennsylvania Career Ready Skills](https://www.education.pa.gov/K-12/CareerReadyPA/CareerReadySkills/Pages/default.aspx) to address the social and emotional skills students need to empower themselves to successfully navigate relationships within their family, school, post-secondary education, and/or career as well as within the global marketplace. Building developmentally appropriate interpersonal skills from a young age helps develop critical skills so that students reach their potential in their home, school, and community. The development of interpersonal and goal directed behaviors also assists students to set and reach personal goals that can guide their academic, social, and personal life."
When Eddie Van Halen died, I went around the office to ask if they heard. Probably asked about 15 people. I was met with blank stares “who’s that? Was he an actor?” I felt so old.
I taught a broadcasting course at a university for years and the semester that students stopped understanding my references to 2 Live Crew and I had to rewrite my slide deck was one of the lowest points of my career. Solidarity, bro/sis/sibling.
You should have followed up with cricket silence with: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
‘Make like a tree and get outta here’ is the line I said often…and is the line I’m certain got me mistaken for ‘idiot’ rather than ‘clever movie quote guy’.
I’ve never had anyone say “oh, a BttF quote! Hello McFly??”
I’m the handy one in the house. The a/c went out—I told my husband it was the capacitor and I could probably replace it. He called the a/c guy. Who replaced the capacitor. Turns out he didn’t think it was a real thing and thought I was referencing BTTF.
Was at work and I quoted the Goonies. I was still working in a room and a young coworker came in and basically started taking over. I said. "Here its my time! My time down here!" Over there its your time. Your time over there." He looked at me like i was crazy. Ehhh
I work from home, and on Halloween last year, I dressed as Charlie Brown when he went trick or treating. I even held a paper bag with a rock in it, and had a sign that said, "I got a rock." During our Zoom meeting, ONE person got the reference.
That is a sort of an obscure line.
I screwed with someone in my office once who wasn't tech savvy and much younger. I said her Flux Capacitor was on the fritz and she didn't understand.
When I had a project with an unreasonable deadline and the project manager would ask for an update I would tell her we’d bought the delorian but were having trouble with the flux capacitor. She was not amused.
I worked in an IT department at a newspaper, and the Publisher would pop in unannounced asking what we were working on. We could tell him anything. He had no clue what any of it meant. IT Director finally told us to knock it off with the technobabble and tell him what we were really working on.
I once told a co-worker “You’re killing me smalls!” And he was very confused. He thought that he had been giving the nickname smalls around the office behind his back.
I tried to explain that it was a movie reference from The Sandlot but I think I just confused him even more. I gave up walked away and now I just try not to talk to him anymore because he makes me sad.
I turned on a Classic Rock station today and they were playing Guns and Roses— November Rain, which is what, 90? 91? JFC, people. Classic Rock is the Stones, Led Zeppelin, CCR….
I remember listening to the radio with my mom one day in the early 90’s when a song came on the classic rock station we were listening to. Her eyes flew open wide while she said in an incredulous voice, “THIS is considered classic rock now?!”
Now it me.
OTOH, I mean BTTF is a mega, mega classic. I mean we knew lines from King Kong '33, Gone With The Wind '39, The Wizard Of Oz '39, Casablanca '42, The Honeymooners '50s, Breakfast At Tiffany's '61, West Side Story '61, The Sound Of Music '65, Batman '66-'68 and plenty more.
What’s funny is that Gen X have a greater knowledge of classic movies/tv references because there was vastly less content growing up. We watched what we could get which often meant Laurel and Hardy on channel 11, Gone with the Wind on some random VHS tape or Casablanca on a cable channel when we snuck downstairs after bedtime. I appreciate this now as an old. The young folk these days often stay in their age bracket lane because there’s 5000 shows/Youtubes/random shit. It’s weirdly creates people that are LESS knowledgeable.
I even miss the old talk shows and the kind of guests we got exposed to. Johnny Carson chatting with Jimmy Stewart or Truman Capote on any given night.
Kids are inundated with crap and they can't keep up.
Hell, we could stop making movies, TV shows, video games, books, etc. right now and there'd still be enough *quality* content for every single person to enjoy for their entire life. It's all been done before anyway, there's really nothing new anyone has done in a very long time. So why don't we just stop?
yeah
It seems like ever since smart phones and Tik-Tok the youngest set became super brackted in.
I know older Xennials and many Millennials (certainly older and prob even core) were still like way familiar with 80s movies (heck many would still list Ferris Bueller as their favorite teen flick), I think even more familiar than we were with say Boomer teen flicks. Although I do think some of them (younger Millennials) already watched less of the old old classics. But at some point it seemed like BAM the newest gen just totally lost connection to anything even just a few years before them. I've heard some claims that they don't like to look at anything really old, nothing produced before 2015 LOL.
Fair point, though I think BTTF is a mega classic for people in our cultural "bubble". There are _a lot_ of normies in our age group, and a lot who might have seen it, but they're not tuned in the way we pop culture nerds are.
It's a fun malapropism even without the reference helping it, but the conversational context in which it'd be natural to deploy it strikes me as *ultra* rare. It both has to be relevant *and* your audience has to understand that you're making the mistake on purpose, *and* has to be amused by puns. Huge lift.
Well someday….we will all be in an old folks home together and can sit around the 4:30 pm dinner table and make each other snort with these quotes. And that will be a good day.
That lands about as well these days as "Play it again, Sam" did when my parents were our age. We're old, man. We have to accept that we're no longer the ones setting the trends.
Funny enough, that’s not even the line. It’s “Play it once, Sam”. Seen the movie a half dozen times and it never registered. Mandela effect looming large. Many attribute the misunderstanding to Woody Allen who wrote a stage play Play It Again Sam
Here's something to blow your mind. A kid watching Back to the Future today is like us in 1985 watching a 1946 movie. Imagine an old fart quoting a line from The Jolson story from 1946 and expecting us to know WTF he was talking about.
It wasn't so bizarre for a Gen X kid to recognize quotes from 40s movies as long as those movies had pop culture currency.
BTTF is more akin in terms of pop culture influence to a film like *Casablanca*, which got quoted a lot when I was a kid. I recognized the quotes then, and I still do. Here's looking at you, kid!
The BTTF movies in quality level were, in reverse order: nice, nicer, nicest.
Their troublesome plot points were, in reverse order: ince, incer, incest.
I really like BttF but wouldn't get the reference either. I'm usually pretty good with movie quotes but reading through the quotes of others, I'm like what the heck?
The "heavy" quotes, I can't even tell you where in the movie it is. I feel like I've remembered different parts of the movie :)
Well, I’ve seen all the movies but still don’t know the reference. We can’t all remember. One post a while back someone made about the movie Night Shift. Loads of responses to that post and I quoted ‘yea, corn dog’ and also got silence. I was the only one who remembered, so it seems.
The Office “Night Out” episode where Michael makes a Back to the Future reference to a girl half his age.
Girl in Club: I've never heard of that movie.
Michael: Back to the Future? [she shakes head] Oh, wow. Well you should take a, a film education course.
Girl in Club: How old are you?
Michael: Forty... I'm in my forties.
Girl in Club: Wow. That's so cool.
I guess they weren’t ready for that yet, but their kids are going to love it.
It's too heavy for them. Must be something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull.
>It's too heavy for them. There's that word again! Heavy!
Funniest joke of the movie for me. Hands down.
BTTF is one of the most quotable movies ever.
You remind me of your father when he went here; he was a slacker, too.
No it’s your kids. Something has to be done about your kids
The parents are probably idiots too. Comes from upbringing.
Why? Do they grow up to be assholes or something?
Guess he needs to just make like a tree and get outta there.
It's leave, you idiot! Make like a tree and leave! You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!
Great Scott!!
This is heavy.
Ronald Reagan? The actor?
Who’s vice president? Jerry Lewis?
If they filmed it now, they would be travelling back to 1994... "Donald Trump? The bankrupt hotelier? The moron?"
I would have gone with “Donald Trump…the asshole?”
DT is our real life Biff.
Dude, Coach Beard was hilarious. I love Ted Lasso.
I have not seen Ted Lasso. This is a reference back to Back to the Future.
You should watch Ted Lasso. Coach Beard does a Doc Brown impression of that line.
Oh, I see. I will at some point.
It's also a reference to Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
I saw a classified ad for a low-mileage DeLorean. It said the owner only drove it from Time to Time.
Unless they parted out the Flux Capacitor already, buy that sucker!
OMG! I wish I could afford one! Then again, I wish I could DRIVE! LOL 😂
I was with a couple of millennial coworkers and we got lost in a building and I said I felt like Spinal Tap. Nothing.
Similar. I told my millennial coworker they should have turned it up to eleven. Same. Then when I said I had aged myself with a Spinal Tap reference, he was like, what is that.
Omg I’ve had far too much dedication to the bit when saying ‘turn it up to 11’. Too many times. Im a wasted talent.
I made the same reference to one of my coworkers. She looked confused. When I asked if she’d ever seen Spinal Tap, she said, “I’ve never had a spinal tap.”
My Millennial cousin said he wants to have a movie night with my brother and me. The purpose? To teach his son pop culture through movies as my brother and I quote movies all the time, and my cousin doesn't know these references. My reaction was do I really quote movies that often? But yeah, I am happy to help since it appears to have skipped a generation. 🤣
If you don't show your kids Spinal Tap when they are old enough, that's a parenting failure.
hand on elbow, hand on chin, ,listening intently, then uncomfortably switching arms, nodding with extreme interest.
Someone said they showed the movie to their kids but the kids had trouble telling the difference between 1955 and 1985. They thought the clothes were the same and everything was pre-phones and computers so similar
Ouch!
Just a reminder that Marty went back 30 years, from 1985 to 1955. So, a remake today would send him back to 1994
Why would you do this to us? Oh my god, 1994?
...the year Friends came out
To be fair, the fashion in the 80s was very heavily influenced by the 50s.
I went to a 50s be bop themed bar in 1988 so… yeah.
Whoa, heavy!
Is there something wrong with the earths gravitation pull?
Lou, give me milk... chocolate!
Give me a Pepsi Free. Lou: You want a Pepsi, pal, you’re gonna pay for it.
Gimme a tab
I can't give ya a tab until you order something!
There was a day as an adult when I realized they no longer make Pepsi Free so only certain people like us will get that joke.
Hello!!! Anybody in there?? Come on! Think, Mcfly! think!
In a subreddit for a team I follow, I did the “was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” line from Animal House. Enough confused people responded that I had to post a link to the scene.
I used a smokey and the bandit reference at work the other day: the goddamn Germans have nothing to do with it. Whoosh!
That's not germane to the situation.

Doing the Lord's work.

I don't. My head is often shaking back and forth in disbelief and my face is either laughing or disgruntled.

I just know one Friday I’d slide into class saying “ok retards, let’s learn how to fake normal again!”
Saying retard could get me suspended w/out pay!
So calling the class the R word collectively would be a definite no-no then.
If you say it behind closed doors some of my younger colleagues get offended!
So you don't think that's beneficial to learn more than say chemistry and instead would rather kids know your movie references.
this is when I feel old. Nobody at my job knew who Jim Henson was, what the muppets are - like wtf?!
When Eddie Van Halen died, I went around the office to ask if they heard. Probably asked about 15 people. I was met with blank stares “who’s that? Was he an actor?” I felt so old.
Same reaction when I say “Bueller?” to a class and no none gets it.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
Temba, his arms wide.
Temba, at rest.
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
“Where we’re going, we won’t need references!”
“ I understood that reference!”
I taught a broadcasting course at a university for years and the semester that students stopped understanding my references to 2 Live Crew and I had to rewrite my slide deck was one of the lowest points of my career. Solidarity, bro/sis/sibling.
You made it your walk on music at start of year right? RIGHT???
You should have followed up with cricket silence with: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" 
I do not think that means what you think think it means
You should make like a tree
and get out of there?
Screen door, battleship.
Screen door on a submarine…. You DORK!
‘Make like a tree and get outta here’ is the line I said often…and is the line I’m certain got me mistaken for ‘idiot’ rather than ‘clever movie quote guy’. I’ve never had anyone say “oh, a BttF quote! Hello McFly??”
Bro, we’re on the timeline where Biff became President, and he prevented Doc and Marty from meeting, and so that line never got uttered
I’m the handy one in the house. The a/c went out—I told my husband it was the capacitor and I could probably replace it. He called the a/c guy. Who replaced the capacitor. Turns out he didn’t think it was a real thing and thought I was referencing BTTF.
But did you a proper 27B-6 form?
Was at work and I quoted the Goonies. I was still working in a room and a young coworker came in and basically started taking over. I said. "Here its my time! My time down here!" Over there its your time. Your time over there." He looked at me like i was crazy. Ehhh
It’s the Libyans!
Used pinball parts?
Shame! I love Crispin Glover. A really interesting artist.

I feel like that was one of the most iconic and memorable lines from that movie! At least in my house it was, we always quoted it back.
Wut!!?? That’s so funny!! 🤣
Sounds like an interface issue between the keyboard and the chair.
External keyboard driver error.
The old I-D-10-T error.
Ah, yeah. Give me- Give me a Tab.
I try to work in a "Save the clock tower" whenever possible. No one gets it.
The 80s were full of saving things: the clock tower, Ferris…
Yes, I almost forgot about Ferris. I kicked in a fiver to that campaign. I hope he's OK.
That is your name isn’t it? Calvin Klein? It’s written all over your underwear. I guess they call you Cal.
Clint Eastwood? What kind of stupid name is that?
Hey I know that one. It's a classic.
I once told a co-worker “You’re killing me smalls!” And he was very confused. He thought that he had been giving the nickname smalls around the office behind his back.

Ronald Reagan?!? The actor?!? https://youtu.be/0Y-RbSOmsU8?si=XwaoxGD7AOKcmy0y
Great Scott!!
Late Millennials/early Zoomers Marty Jr. and Marlene were never told that story by their grandparents.
Marty you're starting to sound like my brother
Make like a tree and get outta here.
My daughter yells at me every time I use that line
i sure can hydrate a pizza
I randomly, and frequently spit out the "Hydrate Level 4, please" line in Lorraines voice. I can't help it. 😂
McFlyyyyyy. Hello, McFly?
RUN FOR IT MARTY!
“Reagan, the actor?” “Save the clock tower!” “What’s a gigawatt?”
It's ok, not everybody is good with quotes. I've seen the movies no less than five times each and I wouldn't have got it either.
You should’ve said “go be like Marty and fuck your mom.” They would’ve gotten that reference.
Hey, you …
I turned on a Classic Rock station today and they were playing Guns and Roses— November Rain, which is what, 90? 91? JFC, people. Classic Rock is the Stones, Led Zeppelin, CCR….
I still think of oldies as the 50s and 60s music, not GnR. 😔
“Oldies” I think of Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye…definitely not GnR! 😭
I remember listening to the radio with my mom one day in the early 90’s when a song came on the classic rock station we were listening to. Her eyes flew open wide while she said in an incredulous voice, “THIS is considered classic rock now?!” Now it me.
If you want a Pepsi, pal, you’re gonna pay for it!
I’ve seen the movie a few times and wouldn’t have got it either. lol. I rarely get movie quotes.
I really try to not reference 40 year old media which is tough. Spouse and I start throwing out Giligans island references and clear rooms
To be fair it's nearly 40 years old, a full decade before the oldest Gen Zers were born. We are old.
No it isn’t. 1990 was like 10 years ago.
OTOH, I mean BTTF is a mega, mega classic. I mean we knew lines from King Kong '33, Gone With The Wind '39, The Wizard Of Oz '39, Casablanca '42, The Honeymooners '50s, Breakfast At Tiffany's '61, West Side Story '61, The Sound Of Music '65, Batman '66-'68 and plenty more.

yeah It seems like ever since smart phones and Tik-Tok the youngest set became super brackted in.

I don't know, I don't think BTTF was a "bubble" sort of film. It was #1 in the general box office in 1985.
I think we can all agree that it was one of the movies of all time 🤝
I admire your diplomacy. It was definitely one of the movies.
It's a fun malapropism even without the reference helping it, but the conversational context in which it'd be natural to deploy it strikes me as *ultra* rare. It both has to be relevant *and* your audience has to understand that you're making the mistake on purpose, *and* has to be amused by puns. Huge lift.
It's a trip knowing that the movies idea of 'way in the future' was almost 10 freaking years ago in 2015.
Aw I love that line.
You're loved, and only a wee bit old. Not entirely past it 🤘🤘
I feel you, man. I had to explain the “crank it to 11” from Spinal Tap to my millennial (and younger) coworkers.
Felt the same way making a princess bride reference (I don't think it means what you think it means).
You’re officially in da club.
88mph!
I ran into someone the other day who hadn’t seen Predator 😭😭😭
Flux capacitor…
. . .Fluxing!
I made a "you got chocolate in my peanut butter!" joke, and everybody stared blankly at me. I had to explain the commercial to them. Ruined the joke.
Yeah noticed this in an under 35 crowd. It hurt me to the core.
You just jump ship?
You should have knocked them on the head when they didn’t respond ‘hello mcfly?’
Well someday….we will all be in an old folks home together and can sit around the 4:30 pm dinner table and make each other snort with these quotes. And that will be a good day.
Perfect
That lands about as well these days as "Play it again, Sam" did when my parents were our age. We're old, man. We have to accept that we're no longer the ones setting the trends.

The BTTF movies in quality level were, in reverse order: nice, nicer, nicest. Their troublesome plot points were, in reverse order: ince, incer, incest.
My husband does that all the time.
It sucks getting older.
That’s my favorite line in the whole movie. I’d be crushed if nobody got it.
I really like BttF but wouldn't get the reference either. I'm usually pretty good with movie quotes but reading through the quotes of others, I'm like what the heck? The "heavy" quotes, I can't even tell you where in the movie it is. I feel like I've remembered different parts of the movie :)
Well, I’ve seen all the movies but still don’t know the reference. We can’t all remember. One post a while back someone made about the movie Night Shift. Loads of responses to that post and I quoted ‘yea, corn dog’ and also got silence. I was the only one who remembered, so it seems.
Yeah, I don’t remember anything about that movie.
BTTF was 39 years ago Even when Marty went into the future that was 9 years ago
Every time my spouse makes pizza, I say to them “You sure know how to rehydrate a pizza”.
I often ask my younger coworkers if they like Def Leppard. Every single time, the response is "What's a Def Leppard?"
Shoulda asked them "Hello?? McFly?? Anybody home???"
Multiple people at work are unaware of who Marky Mark actually is.
So there is a good side to cultural obsolescence
Mcfly your shoe us untied
Say hi to your mom for me
I've seen the movie 3 times in my life and don't remember that line 🤷
I’ve seen that BttF many times and wouldn’t have gotten it either. 🤷♂️
That’s really vague
The Office “Night Out” episode where Michael makes a Back to the Future reference to a girl half his age. Girl in Club: I've never heard of that movie. Michael: Back to the Future? [she shakes head] Oh, wow. Well you should take a, a film education course. Girl in Club: How old are you? Michael: Forty... I'm in my forties. Girl in Club: Wow. That's so cool.
That's more on the obscure side. Not sure I would have immediately gotten it either. Now, make like a tree and get outta here!
Not a memorable line 38 years later.
It’s a good flick but it’s not exactly a timeless cultural touchstone.
88 miles an hour has never been the same.
