There’s only one thing millennials love more than hoverboards, and bean-to-bar chocolate, and staying woke af, bae: being condescended to by a white, male septuagenarian. That’s clearly the strategy behind the Hillary Clinton campaign’s recent decision to [tap Al “Lockbox” Gore](http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/10/hillary-clinton-climate-change-al-gore) as its new millennial whisperer—and there’s no doubt it’s also why Trevor Noah’s Daily Show decided to dust off its classic “Back in Black” segment Wednesday night.

As always, the bit featured Lewis Black doing his usual ranting, rage-filled schtick. But this time, his focus was squarely on the media’s biggest generational punching bag. “I’ve got no faith in you people!” he fumed, pointing out that only a fraction of the electorate voted in 2012—and this year may be no different. He mocked young people’s weak excuses for not voting (“Boo hoo, it’s too hard! You want me to go somewhere and pull a lever?! Why can’t I vote the same way I date, by swiping right on the toilet?”) before playfully taking aim at celebrity-filled P.S.A.s—featuring such “nobodies” as . . . Trevor Noah—and despairing over the issues that do get Generation Y to the polls. (Namely: marijuana legalization.)

It’s a fairly boilerplate performance from Black, complete with a bellowed threat to hunt down the dummies who choose to stay home with their BuzzFeed quizzes on Election Day. There is, however, a certain kind of pleasure that comes from knowing that Black and his gimmick haven’t changed, even as everything else—including The Daily Show—has. And in the end, isn’t nostalgia the most powerful way to reach millennials there is?
