40 Days and 40 Nights.

Damn near all of them.

Loose Change.

I really want a sequel where the ex girlfriend is fresh out of prison. I don't even care about the plot, I just need her to suffer

comedy

Yeah that one wasn't even funny then.

That movie was so forgettable.. remind me what she did again?

Which is an ironic thing to say in the Age of Trump.

There is no competition: Idiocracy, because it isn't funny anymore when you are in it yourself.

It had its moments, none of them intentional.

Idiocracy

I thought it was silly because of how crazy far-fetched and unrealistic it was, since that stuff could never happen in real life. But now that kind of comedy has aged terribly and is no longer funny at all.

/s :(

It's a sex comedy about a guy trying to be sexually abstinent, and in the climax of the film he fails because a woman has explicitly non consentual sex with him, in a framing the film presents favorably.

I haven't seen it, btw. This is the description I've heard.

He's literally handcuffed to a bed and unconscious when she rapes him quite proudly

Everything Rob Schieder started in.

None were very well liked even when they were fresh, but things like "Big Stan", in which his pipsqueak convict character has to go on a karate-kid-style journey to learn martial arts from David Carrodine in order to fend off rapists before he heads off to prison is kind of a case study in a whole genre that could be called 'damn, you really thought that was funny?'

Norm MacDonald and some of the other SNL folks dabbled in some of the same jokes, but were much more talented, so some of this stuff feels a little forgivable. Schneider though... oof.

Also: I haven't seen it, but I'm going to guess that 2008's "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" -- in which Adam Sandler stars as an Israeli Mossad super ninja who wants to be a stylist -- probably didn't age great.

...Is part of her probation to not to have sex for a month?

The one exception (it did age decently) is Austin Powers.

They must have used the time machine to look forward and figure out what they could get away with and then danced as close to the line as possible.

I vaguely recall enough to confirm it. Yeah, that didn't age well. "Men can't be raped, bro"

I nominate "Dude, Where's My Car?".

I thought this was screamingly funny when it came out. It was the movie everyone quoted until "Napoleon Dynamite" came out. I tried rewatching it maybe a year or two ago and it's aged like milk. Too much of the comedy relies on unhealthy stereotypes & tropes.

Difficulty: impossible

Tropic thunder.

I'm actually going to say this nonsarcastically. In its defense most of the movie is still pretty funny, but the eugenicist intro is really bad. It would've been better if you'd chopped that off and said he'd just been isekai'd to a world of stupid people.

Really though I'd say the part that's aged worse is maybe not even the film itself but the way that people keep trying to compare it to the present day. Idiocracy is a world of well-meaning idiots who still have hearts of gold, and the day is saved when they step aside and let the smartest guy in the room figure things out. That is the exact opposite of the problem we're facing today, where the villains at the top are very smart and very evil, smart enough to know how to use stupid people as puppets for their selfish aims. Idiocracy doesn't even have any true villain in it.

I've seen many people mention how they feel Idiocracy has gone from a comedy to a documentary. I disagree. I believe it's become a vision of a better future than the one we currently have ahead of us. I wish I was kidding.

It's also pro eugenicist anti-poor nonsense.

Part of her probation is not being hit by a car, and she violates it twice.

I have very strong feelings about her and her lack of comeuppance, and the many confused contemporaneous conversations I had about how fucked up her trespass was.

Having forgotten pretty much everything about Ace Ventura: Pet Detective I tried to watch it with my nephews and immediately had to turn it off lol

Norbit.

I mean, it was questionable then too. But looking back on how Eddie Murphy decided to tank his career says a lot about how comedians of the time loved punching down.

I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude!

It’s purposefully stupid so the tropes don’t bother me, the reason it was funny at the time was because the tropes hadn’t been established as much. It’s like saying old art is boring cause everyone does that now not realizing it was the OG. I still liked it and we watched it for movie night once and my at the time 19 and 21 year old kids liked it, we all quote it now.

ZULTAN!

still hilarious, also the only actual good black face ever used

that's a great channel.

The idiots weren't well-meaning with hearts of gold. They enjoyed guys actually getting kicked in the balls, gladiator games, and extreme objectification of women.

Pet Detective aged like milk. When Nature Calls is still classic.

It's in the bone!

Laces out!

Dude, what's mine say?

Um, Eddie Murphy will live forever as Donkey

SWWEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!

Thanks, it's like people didn't actually watch this movie before parroting these opinions about it. "Camacho actually had good intentions", except the part where he sent Not Sure to be executed at the end.

Sweet! What's mine say?

Yeah some of the memes are funny but the themes of the movie are pretty regressive :(

I haven't thought of it in years but i suspect me myself and irene might have some questionable parts.

I highly recommend the first few episodes of "dead like me" though. Perfectly captures the y2k/bondi blue imac g3 aesthetic.

President Camacho was a good guy, but pretty much everyone else were assholes.

I recall quite liking the parody film, Unfastened Coins

It's a non-serious exploration of the sinking of the Titanic, told in an over the top conspiratorial tone with nonsensical theories and conclusions, similar to Loose Change

It was shit when it came out

Will have to look that one up, sounds entertaining.

That's because she wanted the cash of the pool. Remember? The colleagues were running a pool of which day he'd break and spank/wank/fuck. The ex- found the pool, placed a bet on night 39, where she raped him.

The silver lining of the film is to make longer connections with women with sex less prominent, and it'll be better.

There is the culture of NoFap, which seems to become an identity after the film so...

It's a fair criticism but imo it's not too hard to write off that bit of absurd narrated exposition at the beginning and instead think of it as being about anti-intellectualism and broken institutions, since the rest of the movie seems like more of a satire of those things, and the plot doesn't really land on eugenics as a solution to its problems.

Mike Judge made a statement about it in an interview:

We live in polarized times, which means that for every ‘Idiocracy is a documentary!’ take that goes around, there’s also a critique that argues that Idiocracy is a celebration of eugenics. Have you thought about that interpretation of it?

Well, yeah. I mean I’ve actually read that a couple of times. But to me, I thought the opening made it very clear that whatever side you take, nature and nurture are both covered in that. That guy is clearly not a good father. I mean, there’s a kid with a motorcycle in the front yard, and no one’s paying attention to this. He’s just irresponsibly knocking up different woman, and proud of it. It’s not like he’s a good, upstanding role model for the kid. So I think it’s pretty clear here that, whichever one it is, [nature or nurture], there’s some combination of both. I obviously don’t believe in eugenics. I think you could look at it both ways—you have this couple that’s trying to be so responsible that they end up never having kids. Then there’s another couple who just irresponsibly keeps having them and not raising them right. So, you know, if the other couple adopted the other kids. I’m sure they would probably be better off.

The thing is, the movie itself is fine. It is self contained satire that never tries to pass itself off as more than an absurd joke. It's that everyone is citing it as prophetic or relevant that's the issue. Ironically, the people that can only process real events through their favorite fiction aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.

The franchise could have an amazing modern day sequel if done properly.

I rewatched Napoleon Dynamite last week and it holds up well IMO. So, not that.
