Zohran, he’ll fill all your holes.
I wish those movies were still funny today. They were so great in their time.
Yeah, agreed on all counts 😕
Well, just off the top of my head, from very old memories, there’s tons of sexual assault. Also lots of making fun of fat people and people with different bodies in general. I’m sure there’s a lot more.
I wonder what will be considered horrible in 5-10 years from now? What awful thing we are doing now that we are unaware of?
SuperApplesThere’s also the fact that half the ‘jokes’ were just a scene going on longer than you’d expect.
I think a lot of the body shaming jokes don’t land not because we are uptight PC wokies, but because when you don’t stigmatise something, it loses its social power. Oh that person has a mole? So what? The boomer humour was ‘oh, it’s bad to have a mole, but you should never say anything about it!’ when you don’t believe either of those statements there is no joke, and the scene goes on for like 5 minutes…
The mole was a pun on the ‘mole’ meaning an embedded spy.
Isn’t the whole point that it’s riffing off the sexual misconduct in the bond movies? Also, Its been a while, but I recall Austin always being overtly consensual as a contrast to the Bond series
Yes, that’s the satire. Which is lost on folks who did not grow up with the old bond movies, instead tossing it in the “boomer humor” category without understanding that the reason it was funny to the last generation was because it played off stuff from the previous generation.
Time moves on. Like a poster above us said, the movies aged badly because the comedy isn’t timeless, say like Who’s On First.
Sexual assault like this?
Someone else mentioned that it’s actually pretty consensual. I assumed it wasn’t, but I guess I must be wrong. Again, it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen them. I know that consent wasn’t the big talking point then that it is now, so I just thought they’d have fucked it up. It’s good to see they didn’t totally.
Yeah, it’s pretty nice for 1997.
I find the first one aged better than the rest. I still laughed out loud after watching it recently. The later movies, not so much.
Bahnd RollardAgree, the first one has aged like fine milk (opinions differ of if its spoiled or turned to cheese) and the opening bit of the second film where they had a real budget for a split second.
The part there thats aged well is of all the actors cast in the parody opening, Danny Devito is the only one who isnt problamatic.
