 Thebrick - this is so. not. true! Either you are not yet an adult, or you are an adult of a different age. The entire last season was such an hommage to the 80's, that it rivaled other 80's throwbacks of the past year like Netflix's "Stranger Things"! Perhaps anyone growing up in the 90's or 00's are too young to pick up the humor.

 To give you some examples, they spoofed films - scene for scene! - like The Goonies ("Booty Scooty") and The Breakfast Club ("Hey You, Don't Forget About Me In Your Memory"). They spoofed classic TV shows like Gilligan's Island ("Coconut Cream Pie"), Fantasy Island ("Crazy Desire Island"), classic late 70's Justice Friends ("Two Parter") and Scooby Doo ("The Cruel Giggling Ghoul"). They even mocked the classic games like Dungeons and Dragons ("Riding the Dragon") and the edutainment game we all played and grew up with in school, The Oregon Trail ("Oregon Trail"). They even spoof 80's technology (casette tapes, VCR's), clothing and fashion, and music (in this episode, they spoofed the song Axel F from Beverly Hills Cop). And this is just from the top of my head! I could go on and on and on!!!

 I watch the show and think the EXACT OPPOSITE of you - that this show isn't written for children, but rather for all of the writers who must be in the late 30's early 40's or for the parents of the children watching the show. The show is much more entertaining to me as an adult than my son. But we still both watch it together!
