Superbad

Post by **Sylvus** » August 15, 2007, 12:20 am

I saw Superbad tonight, and it was abso-fucking-lutely hilarious. I think it might be the funniest movie I've seen in years, I liked it better than 40 year-old virgin.

Go see it, unless you're a wet blanket and don't like vulgar, funny movies.

Better than 40 YOV warrants a viewing!

I can't put my finger on why Michael Cera is so goddamn funny, but he is.

I can't wait to see this.

Btw, Seth Rogen deserves to become one of the biggest actors in comedy.

My friend's radio show interviewed Seth Rogen recently, and he claims that he wrote the vast majority of Superbad when he was 13 years old, and that the script is mostly unchanged since then. I don't think I did anything worthwhile when I was 13.

I've been wanting to see this for a while. We'll definitely see it Friday.

Agreed. I love that kid. He's got incredible comedic timing. He's one of those people that crack me up without him saying anything.

LOL

EW is calling him a young Bob Newhart and I guess he was on a radio show that introduced him as Michael Cena instead of Cera. Instead of telling him it was Cera, he politely told the guy to pronounce it Chena.

Went to see this last night, it was hysterical. I loved the Orson Wells jokes, there were like 4 people in the audience who were laughing at it, the rest of the people were mildly confused. That made it all the more funny.

It's because he's Canadian. That's why he is so awesome!

Lol, from that Clark & Michael show.. "They rested their balls on our chin and brushed our teeth with their dicks." Just sounds so wrong coming from Michael Cera!

Dregor Thule · Post by **Dregor Thule** » August 19, 2007, 12:02 am

Alright, Superbad was fucking hilarious. I was wheezing from laughing at some parts. I think the flashback to Seth's childhood "problem" was where I first started to lose it completely.

Yeah me too, did you stick around after the movie? They showed more pictures and some of them were fucking hilarious.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » August 20, 2007, 1:28 pm

Funny movie.

"he's the anti-poon"

Laughed a lot throughout the movie and wasn't too critical of anything that was a bit over the top.

40 Year Old Virgin
Knocked Up
Superbad

That's a nice group of movies. Compared to:

Supertroopers
Club Dread
Beerfest

I'd say they're doing very well maintaining quality movies.

Loved every minute of it.

Seth: Well, funny thing about my back, is it's located on my cock.

Saw it tonight with the wife. It was fucking hilarious. 2x funnier than 40 yr old virgin.

Indeed. The Mr. T one was a work of art.

Yeah, I pretty much lost it when I saw the Mr. T one, I walked out of the theater with tears streaming down my face.

I really like that guy Cera, anyone who was in Arrested Development is awesome.

I thought Superbad was pretty funny, a couple of laugh out loud moments. Best dick joke teen movie thats been made in years. Not super specially good or anything, but still decent.

Funny ass movie, much fun

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » August 27, 2007, 11:06 am

Fun movie, but I think I laughed harder at a preview before it. I am still not sure if it is a serious horror movie or not...Black Sheep.

Keverian FireCry · Post by **Keverian FireCry** » August 28, 2007, 10:47 am

I saw Black Sheep on IFC On Demand. It's definitely not serious and it's pretty good fun. The special effects are done by Weta Workshop, so it's a lot better than you'd think for a B-movie like this.

Hesten · Post by **Hesten** » August 28, 2007, 3:56 pm

Hehe, i wanna see Black Sheep, been waiting for that for a while. NOT a theater movie, but probably good on DVD on a movie/drinking night

Withefel · Post by **Withefel** » August 30, 2007, 7:06 pm

Most funny movie i've seen since American Pie. I really wish they'd have shown more tits in it but that just leads me to believe the girls in it were real teenagers not 18-20yr olds acting. Aw well, was still one of the funniest movies i've *ever* seen.

They're saving it for the unrated DVD.

It was a really good movie.

Hot Rod was better.

I saw this over the weekend....

I have not laughed that hard (out loud even) at a movie in a long time. This is going to be one that I own when it hits the streets.

Hot Rod had a main character that acted exactly as he meant to, a supporting cast that filled their supportive roles adequately, and had humor that was executed exactly as it was meant to be. While I don't blame people for not liking this movie, the production value was high and it was well liked by those who find humor in well crafted stupidity.

But cool pot comment. Keep letting me know backhandedly that I'm lesser.

Think the avatar has anything to do with it? How likely would pot have come into the conversation without your Best Bud avatar?

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » September 4, 2007, 3:56 pm

I am well aware the avatar contributes to posts like Tyek's. I'd rather have the opportunity to make a post like mine above this instead of Tyek not having as good of an opportunity to enlighten us with his predictions. After all, without Tyek's post I wouldn't be able to defend Hot Rod, which was a hilarious movie I would pay to see again.

Right.. He shouldn't have the avatar so that people don't say shit like that. Actually, he shouldn't have to worry about people reducing him to his avatar in a conversation, but trying to push his buttons by pretty much ignoring what he said and then making a comment based off of his avatar is a fucking obnoxious, idiotic thing to do... I'd be surprised anywhere else.

Tyek · Post by **Tyek** » September 4, 2007, 5:56 pm

No, it was based on his comment in the Vick thread. He stated that a professor told him how enlightened and open minded potheads are compared to the rest of the general population. I was just goofing on that with this comment, which may bear out his professor's beliefs. When based, solely on grosses, Hot Rod is nowhere near as popular as Superbad.

While the general population does tend to favor the mediocre over the truely inspired (which neither of these movies are by the way) I would tend to follow the general population on this one and say that with its story of friendship, growing up and general mayhem, Superbad is a far superior film to the 5 minute sketch turned into a 90 minute film that is Hot Rod.

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » September 4, 2007, 7:07 pm

It's superior if you want a story. Hot Rod doesn't make any commitments. Superbad has a great story, but I like that Hot Rod doesn't. Well crafted stupidity. I enjoyed Superbad so I don't really understand what we're arguing about.

BTW my professor that said that was Mr. ****. PhD Musicology. I can't believe how much shit I've gotten here for what a professor of mine said. It's almost funny. And I didn't use the word "enlightened."

Tyek · Post by **Tyek** » September 4, 2007, 7:20 pm

It's all good. I was just giving you crap. Trust me, I would rather have medical MJ then the stupid ass Vicodan and Ultracet they feed me for my arthritis in my knees. I know my liver is going to disintegrate one day. I just always loved the pot smokers who thought they sounded so intelligent when they were high. They were hilarious and they thought they were the height of intelligence.

haha very true.

just saw got back from seeing it. I must say Michael Cera is an amazing comedian. Most of the other characters I thought of as over the top and unoriginal.

Lalanae · Post by **Lalanae** » September 9, 2007, 11:25 am

I didn't care for the movie at all. Juvenile humor can be funny with good writing (see South Park: The Movie), but imo the writing for this movie was just dumb. Cera was wasted in this film.

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » December 10, 2007, 12:28 pm

1. 40 yr old virgin
2. Knocked Up
3. Superbad

Don't get me wrong, Superbad was funny. It just wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Maybe it's because the "teen coming of age" flicks have been around for decades. I felt like I've already seen a lot of the jokes and situations before. It was still a good flick though.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » December 10, 2007, 1:20 pm

I watched this movie again last night and still had a few laughs. It's not a classic but watchable in you're not expecting more than basic high school low brow comedy. The only problem I have with it is that two of the characters are going to Dartmouth yet nothing associated with intelligence plays into the situations in the movie. It may as well have been Ohio State University they were going to.
