God even our commercials and even what we would've considered at the time 'mediocre or slop' entertainment at the time was WAY better what we have now!
You want to redpill GEN Z and younger, show them what was denied to them compared to the older generations.
You could try, but it wouldn't hold their attention long enough. I have Zoomer highschoolers working for me, and I'm sorry to say that Tik Tok Brain is a real thing.
Tencent own a LOT of media and look to be taking over Ubisoft, China's a bigger threat as they WANT cultural hegemony.
But as much as it pains me to say, the Saudis are not the worst option as this is more diversifying out of only oil revenues and they aren't antagonistic to America culturally as, well, Israel let alone China. Plus Western studios are still too tainted by DEI and ESG to consistently make competent entertainment.
You cant even show people drinking alcohol in your alcohol commercials anymore. Notice how the nun went in for a sip at the end? That is verboten nowadays.

Members of Gen Z have anemoia when seeing old movies, listening to old music, etc. Longing for a world that was never theirs.
I can confirm this one. My teenage daughter absolutely loves old movies and old music.

We need something that is visually stimulating but can keep their attention long enough to ween them off tictok brain!
Monty python is too long for that, so is stand up, any older shows that fit that description?
Loony toons?
If whoever buys WB will let us stream them. . . .
It might be the Saudis
So because they're probably more in it for the money, they'll offer the entire back catalogue to stream.
Any sane government would prevent hostile foreign agents from purchasing stakes in domestic media companies.

Heineken had some amazing ads years ago, like its Pride and Prejudice parody.
Here's a collection of them
Yes we have to go back to the 20th century to find good commercials! Lolz.
Ok - That was brilliant and completely new to me.
Awesome!
wait, you mean old ads weren't all just scantily clad whores? i thought that's what a good commercial is.
