ITT: young people who never saw this masterpiece of a movie.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I consider myself old, but I’m not remembering this movie. What was this from?

I was unaware that the Wachutis were biters!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Oh right, those. I’m so old I thought those were stupid and never watched them.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They are stupid but Jim Carry nails the role and it's objectively funny. Definitely worth watching both of them.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The important thing is that you found a way to feel superior

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

lol even younger me was a bit of a movie snob. Now I’m even worse about it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

They are among the stupidest movies ever created without a doubt. And I absolutely adore them 😄

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

They absolutely are stupid and it's not to late to behold the stupidity

I don't remember noticing how obviously fake that rhinoceros was when I was a kid

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I do, but that may be because iirc it was fake in cannon. It's been a long time but as I recall he built the rhino as a sort of hunting blind, I don't remember why well but I think it was to observe/photo animals.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He was following around one of the main villain's henchmen to see what he was up to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Thank you! That was it! It was bugging me lol.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was to spy on the guy who was suspected of... Doing something. It's been a while

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

He stole a white bat to halt a tribal marriage and then force a war between the tribes. Thus allowing an English company he owns to exploit the conflict to steal the guano trade for profit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Well I was a pretty dumb kid 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

crt tvs may have played a part in that

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Dumb shit but fun shit.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Getting kinda hot in these rhinos...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I still use this line stepping into a hot car in the Summer.

Say what you will about those stupid movies, I miss them...

Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, Mel Brooks, the early Jim Carrey comedies, Police Academy...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just miss silly spoof movies.

I feel like those " (genre) Movie" films were such weak throwaways and the silly parody movie quietly just died shortly after. Especially when everything wanted to be an "adult comedy" or a "dramedy" (ughh!)

You don't really see that fun absurdist trope-poking humor of Kung Pow!, Airplane, Monty Python, or Austin Powers, anymore. Spy movie spoofs were such a great time. :)

A TV show called Angie Tribeca did this SO WELL. It was such a great cop show parody full of silly wordplay and puns and unbelievably ridiculous scenarios.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I miss movies like Scary Movie. You'll never see anything like that ever again.

I just had the disturbing realization that someone is into this shit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And that started with this. How many rhinoceros furries exist now because of it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

By my Google image results, I'd say there's a few!

I'm surprised I didn't rupture my spleen when I saw that.

It was in a cinema, too, if you remember what those were.

I couldn't breathe, and I was all but a puddle on the sticky floor, laughing my adult ass off.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Same same. One of the funniest scenes in a movie that I can recall.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

That scene was about as hard as I've ever laughed. Must have had it on VCR because it was the 90s. Scared to revisit it because I couldn't possibly laugh that hard a second time.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (3 children)

To this day, I've never laughed harder than I did when I first saw this scene. My cheeks and abs cramped up, my back started to hurt, my lungs damn near collapsed from laughing so hard.

Thankfully, I don't think I'll ever laugh that hard for as long as I live, because I think there might be a good chance I could actually die of laughter.

Jim Carrey is the GOAT

There’s nothing inherently wholesome or obscene about the cycle of death and rebirth. It simply is. 🧘

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is wholesome. A family in the film even stops to watch the miracle of life.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, the transphobia in the prequel is less wholesome.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Ah hell I'd glossed over that in my mind. Thanks for the reminder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Only way you'd see that today is if impractical jokers did a movie

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's hilarious the you're simultaneously (and incorrectly) claiming "movies these days" are too PC for this, and yet the "edgiest" comedians you can come up with are a group of middle-aged dad's doing the most pg "pranks" ever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I don't think they were claiming it was "too PC" so much as just movie industry trends. Like executives don't see money in stupid-funny comedies these days maybe? I do wonder myself at the reason why.

Impractical Jokers do be funny guys though. :D

I can hear this happening

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

awesome movie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Fair enough, maybe not more wholesome, but more consistently enjoyable than most post 2020 films imo.
