"The uploader has not made this video available in [France]", either.
This somewhat limits the possibility of discussion…

Well, it is in the UK and I found it hilarious. Not that that is going to be much comfort.
I suppose one pea under the mattress is the depiction of older people as unable to remember names, and with various sorts of unreasonable expectations and quibbles. But this has a sufficient dollop of affection to give it a pass (I'd say).

I missed the the dollop of affection, and only caught the cheap mean-spirited gags. But, I'm old so I probably just couldn't understand the newfangled way kids today show affection.

@olidioms Thanks for the link.
Mildly amusing, but I thought that it was not so much mocking old people.
Oops, should I have said "older people", or "people of age"?
Anyway, I took it as making fun of both marketing teams who are chasing the Silver dollar and of organisations like AARP who rush to endorse any product that is claimed to improve the lives of the "Greatest Generation".

I'm old and I thought it was funny. I took no offense at all.
