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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month 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] 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month 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] 33 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month 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 1 month 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.

crt tvs may have played a part in that

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

I saw this scene at 11 years old and I didn't stop laughing for 15 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Dumb shit but fun shit.

[–] Kecessa 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

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

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 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (2 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

This is exactly what I experienced. It's 30 years ago, and i still remember that I had trouble drawing my breath due to laughing way too hard.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

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

Unfortunately, the transphobia in the prequel is less wholesome.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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
