    Not quite; movie’s only 35 years old. First colonoscopy is recommended at age 45.

      To be fair, it also says if you remember this movie. So you’re adding on at minimum 4-5 years before you’re old enough to start remembering this movie at all, much less clearly. Then there’s the wording that says “about time”. To your not quite I instead offer a simple “Quite.”

        You’re right, but it doesn’t make it more likely the viewer is older.

        I’m 30 and I remember the movie, but I probably watched it when I was like 10 and the movie was already 15 years old.

          True but, and this is really important, this is a meme.

          Not sure why this instance particularly is so fascinated with taking every meme painfully seriously. It’s a bit idiotic.

          For what it’s worth, I’m 35 and had a colonoscopy not long ago due to intense abdominal pain that lingered for years and no other test could pick anything up (went through many things throughout the years, mostly being brushed off by the NHS).
          It didn’t detect cancer, however they almost immediately recognised Diverticular Disease which would not show on anything else they did.

          Been on daily laxatives since and I feel physically quite good. Took away years of pain, however the prep is nothing to laugh at. I thought I could handle it, didn’t seem so bad… Man, let me tell you I still think my actual soul got flushed and is floating in the River Thames to this day.

            No, because I recognize this movie without having seen it in theaters, and am under thirty. The post only says recognize, not “remember seeing in theaters”

              Yeah, and its almost like it’s a meme and not meant to be taken super seriously. Like the comments. Something that repeatedly seems to sail about three miles above yalls head.

            I can put a 5 year old in front of this movie to watch it for the first time, do they also need a colonoscopy?
