I just saw this rather amazing commercial for the X Games. But, am I the intended audience for the X Games?

The references in the commerical were amazing (there were references to Apocalypse Now, The Shinning, Al Pacino's "Say Hello To My Little Friend" et.al). Does the typical 18 year old know anything about these references?

I am aware that 18 year olds today are watching 20 year old tv shows, because everything is being re-run on cable now. But I find it hard to believe that the average X Games viewer GOT all of the references in the commerical. In fact, I would say that since I think I got most of the references in the commerical that it can't possibly be all that current.

I'm not 18 years old so maybe I'm not giving the typical 18 year old enough credit.

one of the songs being played during the broadcast is by the Mamas and the Pappas
