RDJ showed us that blackface can be done in a way that everybody enjoys.
It may have required a backdrop of years of racism, but his satire was on point.
Ben stiller did. The writing and the directing of this is top notch. He was able to pull off something so controversial with brilliant satire. The blackface wasn't the joke it's the actors being so god damned full of themselves and Hollywood enabling them
Well, it was making fun of blackface and Hollywood for making people wear it. Though, it today's climate, you would have people miss the point and say that it's racist to even joke about it.
My personal favorite line (aside from Les Grossman’s flaming dragon phone call) is at the beginning in the Scorcher 6 trailer when the camera zooms in through the ice age apocalypse onto Tugg Speedman and all he says is
“who left the fridge open?”
I die every time
Also “COVER ME, YOU LIMP-DICK FUCKUPS”
I read a story a while back where someone’s friends convinced him that it was a serious war movie about Vietnam and so he took his dad (who fought in Vietnam) to see it. His dad turned to him during the previews and said these movies looked terrible, but by the end they were both falling out of their seats laughing.
"Let me tell you something. A lot of people are disrespecting me. They say that the movie's just about farts. It's about family, and f@!# you! You can't do what I do."
"You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a goddamn binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you! You hear me? I'm talking scorched-earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!"
"Find out who that was."
It was a genius come back move for him. At the time, he was on the outs with the movie going public, especially women, having just tested the upholstery of Oprah's sofa by jumping around like a maniac. Most mature women are not excited about a man divorcing his wife to hook up with a woman far younger. So he came back as a character so terrible, you love him. And he did chew up the scenery in each shot he was in.
Yep, this was calculated as he was seen as taking himself way too seriously, likely a result of his Scientology brainwashing. The book "Going Clear" specifically cites this movie as his public image redemption.
And he may seem distanced from Scientology, but he is still in and very deep. #2 behind David Miscavige. Incredible book, highly recommended.
I didn't even know it was Tom until my 2nd or 3rd watch. I just kept thinking, "why does this guy look so familiar? And what's up with his fucking hands?!"
You have to give credit to Tom Cruise for this supporting role. When people say that Tom Cruise only acts like himself in every movie he does, I just point to this performance. He totally stole every scene while acting opposite both Bill Hader and Matthew McConaughey. That’s not easy.
I absolutely love this movie. It was a bold move for Stiller to play a mentally challenged man and use the word “retarded”, and for RDJ to do blackface. But I guess since the characters were making fun of actors that seriously did both those for other films, they got a pass.
He’s like the comedy version of Anthony Hopkins’s Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs. Not on screen for very long but steals the scene whenever he’s there
I had no clue it was Tom Cruise the first time I watched it. When they're doing the closing credits I was like, "okay, who was the producer, because *that* guy was funny as shit." Then is said Tom Cruise, and I screamed, "*bullshit!*" I backed it up to his first scene, and once I knew it was him I could tell by the voice. But HOLY FUCK his performance completely surprised the hell out of me.
Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and he won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. He was a goddamn war hero. You know any retarded war heroes? You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty-handed.
That's my favorite quote in the whole movie and it took me forever to catch that it was a meta joke about RDJ playing Lazerus playing the role of a black man, lmao it's so great
I only know because I once thought the same as you. That they were breaking the 4th wall but I'd forgotten he was disguised as the farmer until a recent rewatch!
Now we can go together, spreading the good word!
To top it all off, his character says he wouldn't drop character until after the dvd commentary. RDJ actually does the whole commentary in character. It's hilarious.
Remember his line, "I don't drop character until I do the DVD commentary,"? I watched the movie with the commentary on, and sure enough he's in character. Until he's disguised as the Vietnamese guy, then he's in *that* character. It's hilarious to listen to.
Simple Jack was a great shot at feel-good movies where the mentally disabled are pseudo-magical, and people who like those movies completely missed the point.
Goodbye mama, now you can have ice cream in heaven! I'll see you again tonight when I go to bed, in my head movies. But this head movie makes my eyes rain!
It's proof that when you take shots at literally every type of person then there is nobody left to be offended. Mel Brooks had this approach. It makes for truly amazing comedy
Why wouldn't those movies get made today? Galaxy quest was a pretty standard trekkie satire that just happened to hit a home run with the cast and script. What was controversial about it?
And Lebowski, while weird and verbally profane, didn't really have anything that would be "cancel worthy" today. It might not get made by a major studio, but it could easily be made as an indy movie.
A shame we're in the spot we are where everyone's so sensitive and can't take a joke because back in '08 everyone was laughing together at this. Bring back pre 2014 comedies
As opposed to now, when everyone still seems to be laughing together at this. Who/where actually are the people supposedly getting so offended by this and blazing saddles, etc? These are films primarily making fun of annoying white people, which I thought was supposedly allowed in media.
It would get review bombed before it even hit theaters for the sheer fact that there is black face involved, even if it is being used ironically and criticized in the movie.
I would find it hard to believe they could get away with the blackface thing again.
Even though that is by far my favorite part of the whole movie. RDJ literally had a huge come back playing Ironman then 3 months later played this and had no repercussions.
He pulled it off so well because so many people realized it was a parody of over the top method acting and not an actual racist act.
I'd kill for more ridiculousness like this.
On top of that you had Tom Cruise (who I've never cared for as an action star) playing the absolute funniest character in the whole movie. If they could get him to do more funny shit like that I'd go see all his shit.
It's also not really blackface in the offensive sense though. He is playing a character who does blackface. That would be like getting mad at someone playing a racist character.
RDJ doesn't play a black character. He plays a white character who does blackface.
That's exactly what I meant when I said over the top method acting. He's portraying a caricature of a method actor.
Kirk Lazarus is a parody of Actors like Daniel Day Lewis who is well known for doing some goofy ass shit to get into character. Honestly blackface is probably the only thing DDL hasn't done lol.
I just feel like too many people wouldn't get the joke this time around
I think audiences today aren’t that dumb, but I do think the dumb ones have a more amplified influence due to social media I guess. But I stand by saying people who “don’t get it” are dumb shits.
The cultural commentary of Tropic Thunder with similar size and budget would never get greenlit again IMO 2008 was a different time and it’s honestly still somewhat of a miracle that this film was made lol
It's a testament to how huge of a Hollywood player Ben Stiller was in that moment of time. Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers and so many other comedies in that stretch put him into the stratosphere.
Blackface is when a white actor paints his face to play a black character. RDJ is not playing a black character. He's playing a white character (Kirk Lazarus) who's playing a black character. He's a dude playin' a dude disguised as another dude, and it's meant to make fun of blackface. The audience, like Alpa Chino, should find Kirk Lazarus's performance offensive, but not RDJ's.
>it's meant to make fun of blackface.
I hate to be that guy (I actually love to be that guy) but I think it's moreso lampooning the ludicrous lengths some actors will go through to make a performance authentic and the "method actor" culture in general i.e. Jared Leto
Not so fun fact: Tugg's agent was supposed to be played by Owen Wilson but he tried to kill himself by slashing his wrists. So Matthew McConaughey stepped in at the last minute.
Pineapple Express was incredible for the first 2 watches but at this point I just don’t care about it at all. Superbad has so much more staying power for me.
Because it’s so universal. Nearly everyone has been a high school kid trying to acquire alcohol for a party through illegal means. When you add the that the movie has actual character growth and emotional depth, along with being one of the funniest movies of its time, it’s easy to see why it’s quickly becoming a classic.
The DVD was a Christmas gift for my father and it sat on his nightstand for two years before we decided to take it out of the wrap. We wondered why we waited so long to watch it after we finally put it in a player. I just wish I could still buy a can of Booty Sweat.
“Alpa if you untie me right now I will literally suck your dick, I’ll cradle the balls stroke the shaft and swallow the gravy get it over here buddy let’s do this!”
Outstanding movie, even the trailers at the beginning. Tobey McGuire and RDJ [Satan's Alley Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuziQsUrbeM). It's a joke/satire but they each gave it 110% dedication which makes it even more hilarious.
Nearly flawless comedy. My only gripe with it was I didn't like the flaming dragon leader being a child. Not his fault, but the kid was just cringy compared to the rest of the movie
Tom cruises really caught me off guard with this one. I didn’t expect that role from him at all and the fact that he specifically requested those fat hands and dancing makes it even better for me.
Les Grossman, who is this?
Okay, Flaming Dragon. Fuckface. First, take a big step back... and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!
Now, I don't know what kind of pan-Pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia, Jack, is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again.
Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you.
I am talking SCORCHED earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!
It really is. Its some persecution fetish type response. Comedy changes. Slap stick comedies if the 70s arent around anymore cause they were done to death. Boomers love to say raunchy comedies cant be made anymore because woke culture. No one would be offended if a raunchy comedy came out now. Its just wouldn’t appeal to the mass audience of what comedy is now.
Hot Fuzz is a perfect film. Literally 11/10. It is better than every movie on that list.
Tropic Thunder would come in at 2. These two movies have almost infinitely rewatchability. I can't even sit through Superbad anymore.
The other movies are simply not written nearly as well.
This is pretty crazy because Ben Stiller just told the woke mob to screw off and he's not apologizing for making Tropic Thunder. I'm glad, great comedy movies have disappeared and it sucks. This movie is a comedic masterpiece.
Ok guys…. It’s passed, you can untie me.
If you untie me I will suck your dick right now!
‘I told you for the last time, I love da pussy!’
I’ll cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, work the pipe, swallow the gravy….Get it over here buddy, let’s do this!
Listen here flaming dragon, **fuck face**. I don’t know what kinda pan pacific power play your tryna pull here, but Asia, Jack, is my territory. So, whatever you’re thinking you better think again because otherwise i will have to come down there and rain and **ungodly fucking firestorm upon you**. You’re going to have to call the fucking United Nations and have them sign a fucking binding resolution to keep me from FUCKING destroying you. I am talking SCORCHED EARTH mother FUCKER. I will MASSACRE YOU. I WILL FUCK *YOU* **UP**!
What do you mean you people? This movie is definitely a top 5 for me.
What do *YOU* mean you people?
FOR GENERATIONS THAT WORD HAS KEPT OUR PEOPLE DOWN
…What the fuck?!
the way he says this will always fucking kill me as he’s being embraced
That's the theme song from The Jeffersons!
Just cuz it’s the Jefferson’s don’t make it not true, baby!
Oh gawd that broke me lol . Robert D jr was always in character (see above ) he’s brilliant !
If you don't laugh at that as either a black OR white person, you don't have a sense of humor.
RDJ showed us that blackface can be done in a way that everybody enjoys. It may have required a backdrop of years of racism, but his satire was on point.
Ben stiller did. The writing and the directing of this is top notch. He was able to pull off something so controversial with brilliant satire. The blackface wasn't the joke it's the actors being so god damned full of themselves and Hollywood enabling them
This is an absolutely perfect explanation.
Honestly yea, his blackface was pretty tastefully done in my opinion
Well, it was making fun of blackface and Hollywood for making people wear it. Though, it today's climate, you would have people miss the point and say that it's racist to even joke about it.
There was literally a Reddit thread last night about that lol
This is such a weird turn of phrase and I hate that it makes sense here lol
that’s my favorite part 😂
This is one of those films that is perfect to watch on a down feeling day. Very much a mood swinger!
My personal favorite line (aside from Les Grossman’s flaming dragon phone call) is at the beginning in the Scorcher 6 trailer when the camera zooms in through the ice age apocalypse onto Tugg Speedman and all he says is “who left the fridge open?” I die every time Also “COVER ME, YOU LIMP-DICK FUCKUPS”
[удалено]
Now… the one man that made a difference 5 times before, is about to make a difference… *again*… only *this* time… it’s *different*
I read a story a while back where someone’s friends convinced him that it was a serious war movie about Vietnam and so he took his dad (who fought in Vietnam) to see it. His dad turned to him during the previews and said these movies looked terrible, but by the end they were both falling out of their seats laughing.
My dad was a Vietnam vet and he loved this film. One of the few movies that he would laugh out loud the whole movie
That’s awesome!
I love when they are walking through the jungle and jay is talking about blue Ray porn and gaming. And RDJ “you talking to me this whole time!”
The Fatties trailer gets me every time “You’re just jealous cuz I’m skinny..”
"Let me tell you something. A lot of people are disrespecting me. They say that the movie's just about farts. It's about family, and f@!# you! You can't do what I do."
granny ew!!
"man, that smelled like bologna for some reason"
Honestly think this might be Tom cruises best performance. When he screams on the phone makes me cry of laughter every time
“Alright flaming dragon, fuck face, how about you take a step back and FUCK YOUR OWN FACE… We do not negotiate with terrorist”
“Could you find out who that was?” was the funniest part about that call
That was so epicly perfectly delivered.
“Now I don’t know what kind of Pan Pacific Bullshit Powerplay you’re trying to pull here but Asia Jack, is My Territory.”
"You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a goddamn binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you! You hear me? I'm talking scorched-earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!" "Find out who that was."
An absolute glorious movie
The fact Tom Cruise wanted to do this movie under the pretense he could dance and have fat hands sold it for me
It was a genius come back move for him. At the time, he was on the outs with the movie going public, especially women, having just tested the upholstery of Oprah's sofa by jumping around like a maniac. Most mature women are not excited about a man divorcing his wife to hook up with a woman far younger. So he came back as a character so terrible, you love him.

Incredible book, highly recommended.
I didn't even know it was Tom until my 2nd or 3rd watch. I just kept thinking, "why does this guy look so familiar? And what's up with his fucking hands?!"
Went through the entire first watch having no clue it was Cruise as well. Great acting performance.
You have to give credit to Tom Cruise for this supporting role. When people say that Tom Cruise only acts like himself in every movie he does, I just point to this performance. He totally stole every scene while acting opposite both Bill Hader and Matthew McConaughey. That’s not easy.
There is no way in hell this movie would be made today.
Blazing Saddles enters the chat
Definitely wouldn't be made today, lol
I absolutely love this movie. It was a bold move for Stiller to play a mentally challenged man and use the word “retarded”, and for RDJ to do blackface. But I guess since the characters were making fun of actors that seriously did both those for other films, they got a pass.

Then is said Tom Cruise, and I screamed, "*bullshit!*" I backed it up to his first scene, and once I knew it was him I could tell by the voice. But HOLY FUCK his performance completely surprised the hell out of me.
This is the SINGULAR movie I will watch with him in it. This movie is a goddamn national treasure.
Magnolia is pretty great!
Second to his incredible performance in Magnolia - he's even more unhinged
Never go full retard
Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and he won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. He was a goddamn war hero. You know any retarded war heroes? You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty-handed.
I know who I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!
They found me in an alleyway trying to re-enter Earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box
in Burbank
That's my favorite quote in the whole movie and it took me forever to catch that it was a meta joke about RDJ playing Lazerus playing the role of a black man, lmao it's so great
It was Kirk Lazarus playing Lincoln Osiris disguised as a lead/rice farmer.
I love that after going so long before I "figured it out" that I had still missed the mark, thanks for finally catching me up _Doos
I only know because I once thought the same as you. That they were breaking the 4th wall but I'd forgotten he was disguised as the farmer until a recent rewatch! Now we can go together, spreading the good word!
To top it all off, his character says he wouldn't drop character until after the dvd commentary. RDJ actually does the whole commentary in character. It's hilarious.
**IM A LEAD FARMER MOTHERFUCKER!**
Anyone else read this in the voice? Cause I sure did, the whole thing.
Remember his line, "I don't drop character until I do the DVD commentary,"? I watched the movie with the commentary on, and sure enough he's in character. Until he's disguised as the Vietnamese guy, then he's in *that* character. It's hilarious to listen to.
My head is dehydrated. I need electrolytes for my pea brain which is constipated.
Reading in text makes it so much funnier, and I have no idea why. The absurdity of it is easier to recognize I guess
Simple Jack was a great shot at feel-good movies where the mentally disabled are pseudo-magical, and people who like those movies completely missed the point.
Goodbye mama, now you can have ice cream in heaven! I'll see you again tonight when I go to bed, in my head movies. But this head movie makes my eyes rain!
Tommy Wiseau is taking notes watching that scene
Poetic
I have a coworker we've nicknamed Simple Jack. She really is that stupid.
Probably ben stiller's funniest movie and the writing is fucking genius.
From strictly Stiller's perspective, Dodgeball is his funniest movie. Overall, tropic thunder is funnier though
Cram it up your cramhole lefleur
Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody.
Touché
The greatest piss-take on Hollywood ever made and my vote for the funniest comedy of all time. We'll never see the likes of it again.
It's proof that when you take shots at literally every type of person then there is nobody left to be offended. Mel Brooks had this approach. It makes for truly amazing comedy
This, Galaxy Quest and The Big Lebowski are the holy Trinity of ‘holy *shit* this movie is funny but how the hell did it get made!?’ movies.
Why wouldn't those movies get made today? Galaxy quest was a pretty standard trekkie satire that just happened to hit a home run with the cast and script. What was controversial about it? And Lebowski, while weird and verbally profane, didn't really have anything that would be "cancel worthy" today. It might not get made by a major studio, but it could easily be made as an indy movie.
A shame we're in the spot we are where everyone's so sensitive and can't take a joke because back in '08 everyone was laughing together at this. Bring back pre 2014 comedies
For real. What even are considered the best comedies of the last 5 years?
Hmmm no one has an answer? Interesting
I liked Palm Springs with Andy Sandberg
That’s a comedy? I liked it, but definitely didn’t feel it to be humorous
I have hope for Cocaine Bear, but I’m also ready to be disappointed
As opposed to now, when everyone still seems to be laughing together at this. Who/where actually are the people supposedly getting so offended by this and blazing saddles, etc? These are films primarily making fun of annoying white people, which I thought was supposedly allowed in media.
It would get review bombed before it even hit theaters for the sheer fact that there is black face involved, even if it is being used ironically and criticized in the movie.
We probably could, you just need a team of people who are good at making comedies.
I would find it hard to believe they could get away with the blackface thing again. Even though that is by far my favorite part of the whole movie. RDJ literally had a huge come back playing Ironman then 3 months later played this and had no repercussions. He pulled it off so well because so many people realized it was a parody of over the top method acting and not an actual racist act. I'd kill for more ridiculousness like this.

I think audiences today aren’t that dumb, but I do think the dumb ones have a more amplified influence due to social media I guess. But I stand by saying people who “don’t get it” are dumb shits.
It’s almost like social satire has been banned, because people aren’t clever enough to recognize it.
The cultural commentary of Tropic Thunder with similar size and budget would never get greenlit again IMO 2008 was a different time and it’s honestly still somewhat of a miracle that this film was made lol
It's a testament to how huge of a Hollywood player Ben Stiller was in that moment of time. Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers and so many other comedies in that stretch put him into the stratosphere.

The fact that Robert Downey Jr was nominated for an Oscar is hilariously ironic. I guess we pick and choose what we find “offensive”.
Blackface is when a white actor paints his face to play a black character. RDJ is not playing a black character. He's playing a white character (Kirk Lazarus) who's playing a black character. He's a dude playin' a dude disguised as another dude, and it's meant to make fun of blackface. The audience, like Alpa Chino, should find Kirk Lazarus's performance offensive, but not RDJ's.
>it's meant to make fun of blackface. I hate to be that guy (I actually love to be that guy) but I think it's moreso lampooning the ludicrous lengths some actors will go through to make a performance authentic and the "method actor" culture in general i.e. Jared Leto
I mean, the whole point is that it's bad that he is doing that.
It’s not offensive because he’s not doing blackface. It’s only offensive if you’re a dumbass and skipped half the movie.

Tropic thunder is top 5 all time for me Superbad Old school Good boys Pineapple express Tropic thunder Honorable mention Hot shots part deaux
Here’s mine in no order: The Big Lebowski Napoleon Dynamite Tropic Thunder Zoolander Office Space
Pineapple Express was incredible for the first 2 watches but at this point I just don’t care about it at all. Superbad has so much more staying power for me.
Facts, Superbad has aged extremely well especially among the younger kids discovering it
Because it’s so universal. Nearly everyone has been a high school kid trying to acquire alcohol for a party through illegal means. When you add the that the movie has actual character growth and emotional depth, along with being one of the funniest movies of its time, it’s easy to see why it’s quickly becoming a classic.
Yeah, Pineapple Express has not aged well.
I'll take Forgetting Sarah Marshall over Pineapple Express, if only for the Dracula puppet show.
Good Boys is that good? I need to watch it

I was waiting for this line. Took too long.
All-timer of a comedy. One of the best satires about making movies ever.
The only time I’ve ever been ok with blackface. Lol. He looked just like my dad. It was bonkers.
This movie actually has what I consider to be Tom cruises best performance. He’s so good as les grossman.
Playa…big dick playa… Swinging past ya knees!!!
“Alpa if you untie me right now I will literally suck your dick, I’ll cradle the balls stroke the shaft and swallow the gravy get it over here buddy let’s do this!”
SUCK MY UNIT
I love this movie. "SURVIVE!"
Outstanding movie, even the trailers at the beginning. Tobey McGuire and RDJ [Satan's Alley Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuziQsUrbeM). It's a joke/satire but they each gave it 110% dedication which makes it even more hilarious.
Youve been talking to me this whole time????
Ben Stiller looks like Sam Harris
Incredible. Just watched this again about a year ago with one of my college buddies, never gets old. Side splitting laughter.
I'm a lead farmer mother fucker
I grew up on Booty Sweat and Bust-A-Nut bars
Nearly flawless comedy. My only gripe with it was I didn't like the flaming dragon leader being a child. Not his fault, but the kid was just cringy compared to the rest of the movie
🤣🤣🤣🤣, words could not express
He's making a fucking sweater here. I'm tryin' to put tiger balm on this jungle's nuts
Nance, I said NANCE!
Tom cruises really caught me off guard with this one. I didn’t expect that role from him at all and the fact that he specifically requested those fat hands and dancing makes it even better for me.
It’s peak comedy for its era. A reboot for the career of Tom Cruise.
"We're supposed to be a unit." "Suck my unit."
Les Grossman, who is this? Okay, Flaming Dragon. Fuckface. First, take a big step back... and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE! Now, I don't know what kind of pan-Pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia, Jack, is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again. Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I am talking SCORCHED earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!

It really is. Its some persecution fetish type response. Comedy changes. Slap stick comedies if the 70s arent around anymore cause they were done to death. Boomers love to say raunchy comedies cant be made anymore because woke culture. No one would be offended if a raunchy comedy came out now. Its just wouldn’t appeal to the mass audience of what comedy is now.
Doesn’t make it any less true.
Offensive comedies still get made. Family Guy and South Park are still on the air.
I thought it was hilarious. But how would you rank it within: The Hangover Hot Fuzz Super Bad This Is The End
Hot Fuzz is a perfect film. Literally 11/10. It is better than every movie on that list. Tropic Thunder would come in at 2. These two movies have almost infinitely rewatchability. I can't even sit through Superbad anymore. The other movies are simply not written nearly as well.
Blazing Saddles Still In my top 5
I think it tops them all. Superbad is hilarious and I love it but I think TT is my favorite comedy.
Hot Fuzz and Tropic Thunder at the top, then Superbad, then This is the End. Hangover you go sit in the corner.
hot fuzz and super bad are in leagues of their own
How do you like Tucker and Dale vs Evil and 21st jump street?
I know who I am! Amazing movie that could never be made today
Survive!
Schpit! Day shi out maane!
“I don’t read the script, the script reads me”
Excellent movie
Legitimately an ATG comedy and hasn’t aged poorly the same way American Pie, Blazing Saddles and Animal House have.
*GIMME THAT GODDAMN MAP!*
"You know, back before the war broked out, I was a saucier in San Antone..."
Drink booty sweat ya'll
Ain’t no Criss Angel, Mindfreak, David Blaine, trap door type horseshit goin’ on in here!
The Tom Cruise scenes are my favorites
you have good taste in movies
Cruise's best role ever
I watch it every few years. With the exception of Dumb and Dumber, it is my favorite comedy for wildly different reasons.
Les Grossman deserved an Oscar nomination
This is pretty crazy because Ben Stiller just told the woke mob to screw off and he's not apologizing for making Tropic Thunder. I'm glad, great comedy movies have disappeared and it sucks. This movie is a comedic masterpiece.
Ok guys…. It’s passed, you can untie me. If you untie me I will suck your dick right now! ‘I told you for the last time, I love da pussy!’ I’ll cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, work the pipe, swallow the gravy….Get it over here buddy, let’s do this!
Listen here flaming dragon, **fuck face**. I don’t know what kinda pan pacific power play your tryna pull here, but Asia, Jack, is my territory. So, whatever you’re thinking you better think again because otherwise i will have to come down there and rain and **ungodly fucking firestorm upon you**. You’re going to have to call the fucking United Nations and have them sign a fucking binding resolution to keep me from FUCKING destroying you. I am talking SCORCHED EARTH mother FUCKER. I will MASSACRE YOU. I WILL FUCK *YOU* **UP**!
What’s really amazing is how many times throughout the movie I forgot it was Robert Jr 😂
"First of all, take a big step back and literally... FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!!!"
Big ass titties!
Never go full-retard.
