Forgetting Sarah Marshall predates the term millennial by at least 5 years. FSM came out in 2008, and time magazine ran a story about "millennials" in 2014; before that, the use of the term was more inconsistent than it is today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
Labeling everyone who isn't a baby boomer is a millennial? This is silly. When I was a kid I was "generation X" then came generation Y, in the 90s. Now any of those are millennials, yet there is a clear glass ceiling between folks in their 20s and folks in their 40s, so maybe the term is simply the most sloppily contrived attempt at labelling anyone who isn't too fucking old.
Yeah, I hate it. It should just be for anyone who was about 13-20 during the turn of the century.

I just remembered one. Not really a scene, but a special effect. It drives me nuts when creatures or aliens have prosthetic makeup hands and their fingers are super long, because the actor wearing them has much shorter fingers and it makes it look like the creature only has one finger joint.
