Nerf and Spongebob were "popular with the kids" 25 years ago

Right, that's why I put it in quotes. This logic would make sense to boomer execs. Though I have seen kids playing with Nerf products in the last few years.

Monty Python fits right in there.

Monty Python's Flying Circus first aired 56 years ago. You might as well do I Dream of Jeannie or Gilligan's Island cards. Hell, I thought of mentioning ALF, but that show debuted 17 years after Flying Circus, in 1986.

Yeah, why not? People like shitposts.

But that's all it is, which makes the whole thing extra ridiculous, which is my original point. At least the others have some kind of tenuous logic if you squint at them.

Monty Python is pretty well known still

With old timers? Maybe. With Gen Z and younger? I'm not so sure.

younger demographics that missed the hayday of MTG have a shitton of barriers to entry that won't be overcome by some cringe licencing deals.

Fair point, but that's what the suits are hoping for. Otherwise, why are they trying Fortnite or Stranger Things at all? Those certainly aren't targeting old timers.
