I think no comedy from the 80s or 90s has aged well.

floo@retrolemmy.com 6 days agoThis is one of those movies that I absolutely adored when it first came out, but I haven’t ever really re-watched it in the decades since because I’m afraid it might not have aged well. And I prefer to remember it fondly.

Naked Gun, The Mask, Top Gun, Gremlins 2, Wayne’s World, Groundhog Day, …

I would expect most of Mike Meyers’s work to do well because his jokes were always wordplay and fart humor, rather than racism and coping with being a cishet white guy.

Mini-me is considered to be outright hate speech and The Love Guri is nothing but racism

Top Secret. Jaws: The Revenge. Both from the 80s, and both hilarious…though for entirely different reasons.

Just watched naked gun, aged like wine fine

I wish that kind of slap stick comedy was still a thing, Top Secret is wonderful as well

The old ZAZ movies were great because they knew to hang the constant gags on a plot that, threadbare as it was, made it a silly movie and not a tedious collection of parody sketches where the actors just don’t bother changing costumes.

Shoutout to “The Wrong Guy”, Dave Foley is a national icon.

A ton of movies from the 80s and 90s hold up well except for maybe one or two jokes that haven’t aged well. In most cases, they could cut those specific jokes out without losing anything and the rest of the movie aged perfectly fine.

I’m sorry, but are you even familiar with Robin Williams’s work?
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 6 days ago
Yes and several of them aged poorly like Moscow on the Hudson

I mean, there’s aging poorly and there’s sucked the whole time

I just watched Dirty Work last night for the first time in 20+ years and it was hilarious… But I’m a huge Norm fan, so I might be biased.

I like that you posted the broadcast TV edit of the movie, which wasn’t allowed to show the famous cum joke on-screen.

I think it’s called There’s Something About Mary?

Same! I might bust it out and try it on the wife and kids tonight.

Just saw it again the other day. It’s still really good imo.
