I’m in my 30s lol. They weren’t from my time period, either, but everybody watched the reruns in the 90s and 2000s. The old cartoons were everywhere in the media (and I thought they still were). You couldn’t avoid them.

Edit: Also I find it odd that someone would recognize a LotR character but not a Looney Tunes character. LotR reached peak popularity around the same time that LT was ubiquitous.

So that’s what’s wrong with them! Sad state of affairs. I bet they don’t even know who Bob Clampett is! Much less Max and Dave Fleischer! For shame.
