    Similar to Borat, I almost passed out from laughing so fucking hard at Dumb and Dumber.

    Billy Madison is also up there for me.

    I loved Wayne’s World, Austin Powers, and So I Married an Ax Murderer back in the day but I’ve tried rewatching them and Mike Myers version of comedy didn’t age well. ATBS, Ax Muderer still has some great and quotable lines.

    I recently watched twenty minutes of Austin Powers. It’s terrible. I loved it as a kid too.
    I watched it during the great kind of lockdown while desperate for content

    Agree it didn't age well

    Myers was huge in the 90s

    Dumb and Dumber

    Office Space just barely edges out a few of the others. The main characters and the gags were great, but on top of that Diedrich Bader, Gary Cole, and Stephen Root were exceptionally hilarious for supporting roles. Mike Judge was apparently very detail oriented in directing this movie, too, according to some YouTube video I watched. There are no unfunny scenes in this movie.



    This scene alone got me

    Office space probably stands the test of time better than most

    I saw all three Austin Powers movies in the theater and loved every one of them.

    They don’t hold up to the classic 90’s Sandler and Jim Carrey movies. Liar Liar is a great and underrated Jim Carrey movie.

    Unrelated, but I also watched Something about Mary a few weeks ago and it mostly held up and was funny.

    I liked the Austin Powers movies fine. I still like the 2nd the best.

    Liar Liar is probably my favorite Jim Carrey film.

    Disagree on Sandler's movies. There are moments that are as funny as it gets, like when he's beating the shit out of Mevin Nealon on the course. As far as re-watchability from start to finish, his movies don't do it for me. I just want to see the good parts.
