For some value of "recently,"

Back when Rik Mayall died, I was talking about it at work.  One of my apprentices piped up, "who's Rik Mayall?"

Really?  OK.  I tried various angles, The Young Ones?  Nada.  Bottom?  Nope.  Etc, etc.  I'd to resort to Google Images for the penny to finally drop,

"Oh, you mean the guy from the Bombardier advert?!"

We have a young intern in the team. Things he's learnt recently include.

Will Smith used to be a rapper
Why red-shirts isn't the uniform we want in security
Goodfella's isn't just a pizza brand! 
"That cheese related trucking film you mentioned" (Smokey and the Bandit)
Not to eat rotten meat
How to use chopsticks
What canopees are
The floppy disk / save icon origin
Any film reference before 2010
Whilst coming up with this list "Oh that Windows Guy who threw a chair"

Same Guy.

When I'm talking about the original version of Tequila by Terrorvision's Tequila I mean the one that's isn't the Mint Royale Remix. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB_9wo3qepU

I did not mean 1958 song by The Champs -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDD21ZJF3mI

This lead to a very confusing conversation about the the difference between the original and the remix

This lead to a very confusing conversation about the the difference between the original and the remix (I was sure there was no maracas or trumpets in any Terrorvision track) 

 

speaking of Mint Royale - this one confuses all by starting with a lot of the original
