Did you think the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer was sexy, or unintentionally funny and awkward? Reactions were mixed online, though there’s little doubt how these people feel.

A group of senior citizens known on YouTube as "The Elders" react to the trailer in the video below, and their feedback is as hilarious and cringe-worthy as you’d expect:

"Can’t believe this was such a best-seller," one older fellow says.

"It just shows you how desperate the public is. Horny as hell!"

One of his female counterparts, however, gets sort of into it!

"Why is this your type of thing?" an interviewer asks the older woman regarding Fifty Shades of Grey and its emphasis on sensual play and bondage.

"I guess I’m just sexy and crazy!" she says.

One thing everyone can agree on here?

 

The dialogue is flat-out ridiculous.

"He’s my very own Christian Grey-flavored popsicle," one reads aloud from Anastasia Steele’s perspective, as if trying not to laugh out loud throughout.

So would they see it? "You bet," says one woman, while another says yes, even if "I’m embarrassed to admit it" and a third adds, "not even if I got a free ticket."
