when two friends wrote a stupid movie...and it broke the genre

also, didn't mention this in the vid, but Rogan recently claimed Superbad was the "last good high school comedy" - thoughts on this???



For the record, I disagree - Lady Bird, Booksmart and Edge of 17 - although not 2000s raunchy/gross-out comedies - were all really good, and funny in their own ways. However, that's 3 movies in 16 years...not ideal.

I wonder what the ratio is between "Creatives had their way and it was awesome" to "Producers sat on the thing and ruined it"
I mean, there are definitely "Creatives gone wild" horror stories as well, but they seem rather rare and are often masterworks in their own right (Fitzcarraldo, anyone?)

I have never fount Seth Rogan to be funny... the only real actor to come out of that era of movies was Emma Stone.

13 beers to go is such a funny ass line

Moby directed it - I'm confused?

I’ll always remember the scene where he’s staring at her cleavage, then his eyes come up and she’s just staring back at him disgusted, so he tries to pass it off like he was just glancing around the room lol

It brought dick drawing into the mainstream.

Never laughed so hard in a theater.

feel like you can kinda tell that michael cera was prepared by arrested development for this role

And will always remain as one of the most overrated and unfunniest comedy ever

Skillup?

this is probably a niche reference but the narrator sounds like bajo from good game spawn point on abc3

Best known for his laugh? Seth is best known for being a liberal lunatic. "Get used to your car and house getting broken into, this is L.A. man. Huu huu! Huu huu!"

Did I miss something? When was Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill ever good? They are so generic that I commonly get them confused with each other. And neither one of them was in anything I like.

It's not the comedy that makes it great but how realistic and relateable the reality was.

Now it's a different reality.

One of my favorite movies since a kid. Wish I lived up to the movie. I did school all wrong. Never went out, to parties, never made friends/long lasting friends bc I’m anti social. Sucks. Loved Becca & the redhead as a kid. Was probably 10 when I first saw it

I can vividly remember seeing this in HS for the first time, with my friends and I dying laughing in the theater . It was perfect.

my like changed ur video to 14k likes <3

You sound so similar to Skill Up the videogame review channel, in a good way

this was the first rated R movie my best friend and I snuck into when it came out in middle school. Bought tickets for the Simpsons movie and snuck in via the bathroom across the way. We saw another kid from our school seeing it with his parents lol

I was a teen in the 80's with odd, funny (not so cool) friends. All we were doing was going on crazy adventures, trying to score booze and weed and chicks from neighbouring towns... This movie felt so accurate that it actually gave me an anxiety attack watching it... I guess it reminded me of how I barely survived young adulthood... Brilliant movie.

Jonah slimmed down so much hes unrecognizable, we will always see him as his Superbad self.

This was an amazing movie

Is it crazy to say Super bad is a modern Cult Classic? I don’t think so.

These actors and films are universal. Great comedies. A stacked cast classic. Which I could have seen it in cinema.

it did remind me a lot of high school shenanigans me and my friends would get up to.

I really wish someone would give Michael Cera a serious acting role, I've only ever seen him in one sort of serious role, and that role was weird. He did good though. . . I hate how he is stuck as the awkward guy.

Man!... I want to watch Superbad right now.

I really enjoyed Superbad.
I thought that it was pretty brilliant.

Yeah it was really relatable.

What in the CinemaStix titles…?

Is this Shillup?

i remember in way way back losing my shit when jonah gets backed into by the car, and seeing it again just now i still think that it has no reason to be as funny as it is. but it is

i feel like Seth Rogan is just so underrated. hes great

Man i fucking love this movie its ashame shit like this doesnt get made anymore

can you squeeze a few more Jews in your movies?

Since I saw it in theaters I've said it was like a Raunchy Woody Allen film

… well, it reminded me of American Graffiti..

And many many drafts and experiences in acting in movies and learning from others to finish writing and making Super Bad. Many movies start out this way too e.g. Good Will Hunting but in a different direction.

Bro when Michael Cera’s character gets trapped, cornered and forced to sing…. Because he’s that one guy’s brother, you know, the singer.

I haaaate this movie

How the hell did we get Superbad in 2007 and The Inbetweeners the next year? Two of the greatest and realest high school comedies ever.

Man I can recall so many dumb stories when I really think about it I've experienced more than I think I have. I've had experiences where we've gotten in free limos after a dance that the driver literally pulled over when me and my friends were talking shit about the dance and certain girls then limo pulls up sees us and offers us a ride for a cheap price while he killed time before going back to pick up his client's we get inside and booze galore took us for a short ride to a Denny's we tried chugging as much as we could while we were in there lol. Others is my college career counselor giving me her number before or on our last day we never met after HS honestly don't even know what was the point of her even giving me her number I loved that woman she was hot for a woman who just had a baby. and more stories lol

In the US Navy, if you did not watch a Judd Apatow movie in theaters then you had nothing to talk about on the boat.

shit movie tbh, completely unfunny at every point

As I’ve grown older I’ve found these types of comedies less and less funny, but I always find myself going back to Superbad and laughing every time. It really is the Quintessential high schooler comedy and I don’t think anything could top it

Judd Apatow is just a genius. Cant think of a movie of his i dont like.

Love that film. For some reason the homeless guy yelling “McMuffin” on the bus is still the funniest to me 😂
