@@SharksSJ408 The American Pie cast were mostly in their 20s and definitely looked it. Contrary to Superbad, you had some clear "kids" who were well past pubescent (Stifler, Alyson Hannigan's band camp character). It's like the contrast between Amazing Spider Man and Spider Man: Homecoming.
"WE COULD BE THOSE MISTAKES"is probably the best line in comedic history. It tells you literally everything you need to know about Seth as well as being absolutely hilarious.
I've always hated that scene because of how anxiety inducing it is. You're at place with random older sketchy dudes and you have to laugh and play off the vibe in order not get jumped or whatever.
As a junior in highschool, this is probably my favorite comedy. It holds up insanely well and it’ll go down as much one of the best. It’s absolutely timeless.

it was the summer before my senior year & school was about to start so my friends & i all talked about going to see Superbad as our last outing before the final year....i logged onto myspace opening day to see what the plan was & was shocked to see my crew all saw the film at midnight without me! luckily i had the coolest dad -who hadn't been a senior in 20 years- & that very same night we caught the 9:45 pm sold out show....the energy of the theater was immaculate....we laughed so hard we cried. it's one of my fondest memories. simply classic
Trying to make moves on someone without knowing that they obviously like you back because you can’t imagine someone actually liking you back - that was me in high school! Very relatable.
I dated a two girls when I was in hs that looked like Emma stone and the girl from queens gambit. No idea how a pulled that off. They we’re both pretty abusive. That’s probably it
Part of the reason Superbad still holds up so well is that it doesn't rely on pop culture references or music from that time period to be funny. You can go back and watch American Pie today and it will still be funny, but it feels very dated because the early 90s humor doesn't work as well 20 years later and newer generations can't relate to it. Superbad, however, will be just as funny in 50 years as it was in 2007.
My older brother loves to laugh, but has never been interested in comedy films. The more degenerate the humor, the less likely he’ll even consider giving it a chance. I finally convinced him to see this last week since he knows it’s beloved. This man was laughing from start to finish. Then he was blown away by the tone of the ending. His emotional investment in this type of movie is a testament to its relatability and overall quality
The main plot revolves around two friends learning that they have an unconditional love for each other while still being unable to avoid inevitably drifting apart from one another as they grow older that hit so different
SimonTheSaucecerer that scares me dude. I’ve got all my best mates with me right now. I’m terrified of not seeing them again, and missing them too much.
This movie never really gets old. It’s one of those movies where you laugh at something different each time you do the occasional rewatch. Definitely a classic in my book.
I used to work in a gas station. During the training segment where you learned how to decipher a fake ID, Mclovin's ID popped up on the screen and its flaws were pointed out. The store has almost 3,000 locations Nationwide. And one training program. I nearly shit myself laughing once I comprehended all this.
I'd been out of school 5 years when this was released, took me right back to memories of those senior years of high school where trying to get your hands on booze is a big deal and if you pull it off it feels like a major score. What has made this movie stand the test of time (beyond the reasons outlined already) is how believable the dialogue sounds- this is a trait of a lot of Judd Apatow's works from the same time period. Like 'Can't Hardly Wait' there's also this sense that there is a whole lot more to these characters (their backstory, notable events) outside what we get to see in this pivotal, yet fleeting moment at the end of their highschool lives. It gives the character this added depth, and you feel as if there could be a whole other movie with these characters and there would be just as many memorable lines/ scenes, without skipping a beat. Somebody commented once on another video that while shows such as 'Skins' or movies like 'Grease' depict what your high school years are meant to be like, a show like 'The Inbetweeners' depicts what your high school years are actually like. I would count 'Superbad' amongst the latter as well. Seth and Evan are not in the popular group, but they're not unbelievably dorky. Jules is clearly one of the more popular girls, but she's not stuck up and unapproachable/ unachievable. We also see her vulnerabilities as well as Becca's. These girls are clearly NOT unattainable for the two boys, even if the boys struggle to realise it. 'Superbad' (like 'Can't Hardly Wait' and 'American Graffiti' takes place over a single 24 hour period, which further gives it a realism and feels less like we're watching an air-brushed, edited narrative and more as if we're living the experience in the moment with the characters. This is a big part of why the movie stays with you and why the ending feels especially poignant. Both the main characters appear to get what they wanted, yet they realise they're losing something in the process. We want to see what happens next, but we don't get that chance.
"They let you pick any name you want when you get there" "And you landed on McLovin?" "Yeah it was between that and Mohammed" "... why the FUCK would it be between that and mohammed?! " This whole scene was one of the funniest scenes in any comedy for me. It's so relatable and genuine and every group of friends has that Fogel character who can't just pick a blend in name and blend in enough to get the job done, he just has to do different. " one name? who are you, Seal? " " what are you trying to be an Irish R&B singer?" Everything in this movie is pure comedy gold for any teenager/young adult. It is so relatable and naturally funny.
I’ve never been one of those people who naturally memorize entire song lyrics or movie scene dialogues, but when this movie came out, I knew every line of that comedic exchange by heart lmao
To me, Superbad is the only teen movie, either drama or comedy, that accurately depicts how teenagers act. I watch something like "13 Reasons Why", and just think, "Teenagers don't act like that! They're stereotypes who sound too scripted!" Even something like "American Pie", which I consider more "realistic", exaggerates them quite a bit for comedy. But Superbad, I completely relate to the characters, from Seth all the way to Steven Glansberg. They don't feel like characters that were carefully scripted to sound witty and composed, they feel like real teenagers. In Superbad, you also see characters that overlap into different social groups. It's an extremely small part of the movie, but to me, it's what really makes it relatable to me. I was a "floater" in high school, much like Seth and Evan. The kind of a person who existed in between social groups, and was loosely weaved into several of them. Fogell is an example of a kid who had no "real" friends, but loosely attached to Evan and Seth. The interactions, the slang, the behavior, and the expectations were all genuine.
Few years back, got to meet Christopher Mintz-Plasse (AkA McLovin) and Dave Franco who were filming a Funny or Die skit where they were flying a helicopter. Coincidentally enough, I had my fake McLovin ID in my wallet. I asked Christopher to take a pic holding up the ID and he was kind enough to do so. He didn't even know you could buy those ID's on eBay. McLovin for LIFE!
I remember I completely lost it at Seth's delivery of the simple question of "What the fuck are you doing?" during the scene where he and Evan were trying to convince Fogel to head into the store to buy the alcohol. The phrase "What the fuck are you doing" is simple in itself and guarantees a small chuckle at most but it was the delivery that made it land
i hope that someday Jonah Hill gets an oscar for his acting. A lot of people just label him as a comedic fat guy but he’s actually a really talented actor
He got Oscar nominations for Moneyball and Wolf of Wall Street. He has worked with the Coen brothers, Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese. Anyone who sees him as the funny fat guy has not been paying attention over the last decade.
the best part is - it is SO relatable because I've done something similar with a friend of mine once. We were eating in a McDonald's, a hot girl that used to go to our school passed by, we looked at each other and said "Did you see that?" and the other replied "I did. Let's go". She was wearing short jeans shorts and she was THICC. We went out of McDonald's sprinting to catch another glimpse but unfortunately she was gone. So, yeah, I imagine at least one more couple of people also did that, what makes it so good on the movie.
I never watched this movie growing up because I was a little kid when this came out, when I was 16 I found it on netflix and it is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen
The joke wasn't mclovin. The joke was the absurdity of fogel thinking Mohammed would've been a good fake name for him, since it's the most common name on the planet. Every good joke has some truth to it.
I’m 20 now and I watched the movie for the first when in my senior year of high school when I was 17 and I can tell you the movie still holds up. Seeing the ending knowing that ultimately the same will happen to me and my friends really got me
as a sophomore, almost junior now as i’m writing this, it is april 2023. i finally watched this movie yesterday and i really liked it. i can say it’s still pretty funny and relatable to this day still for teenagers and young adults our age. personally i relate to the whole relationships and lacking confidence aspects of the movie in ways. i think it’s a great movie i’ll definitely show superbad to a few of my friends and rewatch it with them.
Exactly! Both Superbad and The Inbetweeners are known to realistically capture the high school experience in their respective countries. They don't sugar-coat any of the unsavoury traits of boys that age, but also have a heart behind it that realistically portrays male friendship in all its awkward and repulsive beauty. The US Inbetweeners was probably written by a bunch of out-of-touch boomers who tried to copy a show they don't understand from a culture they don't understand, thinking that high schoolers would like watching it because it has a bunch of sexual references.
Also, now that you brought that up, I just realized that it's a tragedy that a movie was never made where the boys from Superbad and The Inbetweeners meet. Imagine Jay and Seth competing to fuck the same girl, or McLovin getting really pissed at Neil for being comically wrong about a historical fact lmao. Both writing teams working together would've created something truly abhorrent in the greatest possible way.

I place Hot Fuzz into a completely different category, it's undoubtedly a better film, but it does not make me feel the way Superbad does, in Superbad I feel how I did in highschool during lunch when I was bent over choking on laughter, from a joke with my friends, that keeps getting funnier and funnier every time someone speaks
This movie definitely still resonates with late high schoolers today. Even though I’m laughing the whole time watching, Superbad somehow also manages to capture all of the fears and insecurities about losing your closest friends as we get older. The ending is especially bitter sweet, like you said they get everything they wanted but they lose everything they had. Masterpiece.
My friends and I went and saw this one in theaters, one of my favorite memories from highs school. By far the hardest I've ever laughed in a movie theater. In tears multiple times.
Man I remember going to this movie with my brother when this came out. We didn't think it would be a big deal. We were just like ya why not it should be fun... I love that all the main actors in this went on to be huge! It makes me happy =]
Joe Lo Truglia been an unsung hero\ scene stealer for a couple decades already ... Wet Hot American Summer; I Love You, Man; Here Awhile; Role Models ... Incredible work!
i’m currently a junior in high school, and i gotta say. watching this movie at 3 AM without any knowledge of the movies besides that it was commonly loved was just so good. it was one of the funniest films i’ve ever seen, while also kind of making me upset because of the ending with cera and hill. it’s quite the iconic picture.
That ending is very sad in a subtle way if you think about for too long... As stated in the video, it’s truly bittersweet… In fact, I would go so far as to say it’s one of the most bitter sweet endings in the entire genre. We’d all love to think that after Jonah Hill’s character goes down that escalator, and Michael Cera’s character Goes off with his love interest, that they would’ve called each other, and recount their individual tales as soon as they got home… And that’s most likely what those characters would have done. But that division of directions that the ending showed was also meant to represent a division of direction *in their lives* , their opportunities, where they’re headed, and ultimately their friendship as they know it. It’s easy to imagine that they both would have spent the entire summer with their respective love interests, and less time with each other… And with them both headed off to different colleges, it’s easy to think that what we experienced in the film was the last adventure and the last real journey those friends would ever have together. For anyone who has graduated and gone away to college, you really do understand how rapidly things change, and how quickly you can grow apart from people who were such an integral part of your life for so many years. And when I watch the end of the movie, I can’t help but feel as though that final scene really was the beginning of the end. It’s my favorite comedy of all time, as well... and I watch it a few times a year, at least... but I do sometimes skip that last scene when I’m feeling a bit more somber, because it makes me think about the people who I’ve grown apart from. I’m pretty sure they knew that, which is why *immediately* following that scene they just start showing a bunch of drawings of dicks, to kind of distract you from the gravity and reality behind that scene.
Well said, going thru that rn i feel the same exact way, thats definitely a theme that makes this movie timeless, and in a way it get heavier as we go on after graduation because it only get more apparent over the years
Glen Morris it’s a sad reality tho. Most people are lucky if they remain friends with 2 or 3 people from high school. What’s worse is that the same thing happens when you graduate from college. You “new” group of friends all go their separate ways and back to where they’re from, or off to new jobs and places, and slowly, you become less involved with everyone’s individual life, because you’re focusing on your own, as are they.
Nate 1230 for sure the first several times I saw this, I didn’t really process that scene like that... but over a decade has passed, and you’re right, you’re able to relate to the subtle subtext of the scene and the movie as a whole. When I first saw this, I interpreted it as a full comedy. But it wasn’t long before I was able to recognize the tragedy within the comedy. And now, I am able to recognize that Superbad is nearly 50% comedy, and 50% tragedy.
Superbad is the most quotable movie I've ever seen. Every scene is hillarious with amazing dialogue. Evan: "Look at those nipples" Seth: "They look like little baby toes" 😂
Rioeio Kha your judgment on TV in general is dogshit if you don’t think Superbad is good. The writing and subtleties within the show are insanely good for just being a regular teenage comedy
I sat in the theater watching this a few days before the start of my senior year and ever since then it's been on of my favorite movies, for all the reasons you mentioned.
I'm 37 and this is by far my favorite comedy movie. And here's what makes it great: it's relatable to people my age (about the same as the writers) and people way younger 'cause it's truly about teenagers. Not what adults think of teenagers, but genuine teenager issues and insecurities. No matter if you are 45 or 25, this movie is about you back in the days.
Yep. Mid-30s and I love this movie...pretty sure I saw it multiple times in theaters, and everyone I knew liked it (sort-of). It's one of those movies that when it's making its run on mid-range cable, at like 1:35pm on a Sunday, if you see that it's on, you'll abandon all afternoon plans to rewatch (Aliens and Fury Road also high on that list). This is also the exact pitch-perfect Michael Cera...which wound up being a very nary window.
Superbad was an instant classic. I remember showing it to like 4 different friends within a week. Watched it all the way through each time and laughed just as hard every time
I'm 27 now and somehow I missed this movie when I was a teenager. I watched it tonight for the first time and I laughed my ass off. I may not be in high school anymore, but it really doesn't affect the humour.
I just love how I knew people in high school that were like every single character we meet (bar the adults) I find it oddly comforting like I’m watching a movie of my high school years
I’m currently in my senior year and only very recently watched this movie from start to finish (I would only ever run into it at the end or beginning.) and it really resonates with me, the awkwardness of high school, talking to people you like, having weird awkward sex and still trying to act like an adult, all while everyone treats you like a kid, growing up too fast and suddenly wanting to stop. It makes sense.
“Watched that movie at the perfect time” You’ve said it perfectly, it has so much to do with the timing and the stats of mind you’re in when you watch it in the first time
I’m 19 graduated highschool last year and this movie resonated so much with my early highschool years when I first started to grow up and still managed to make me absolutely crack up when ever I watch it.
I’ve seen this movie so many times and I’ve always loved it I was born in the early 00s so I was brought up with comedies like this and the last time I watched it was right before graduating and I probably cried for an hour after. I think This movie will always be relevant especially to the late teens
Hot Fuzz is my magnum opus. I can watch it literally over and over and never get bored. Also has to do Edgar Wright absolutely dominating the visual comedy game.
You should do another one of these, I love how you point out things in great movies that I didn’t even notice. If you made a “Masterpiece” series I would watch the shit out if it.
Watched Superbad just before my freshman year. Bought the extended unrated version, love listening to the multiple DVD commentaries. One of the movies that pushed me further into wanting to get into film making.
First saw a bit of this movie as a kid. Watched the entire thing last year, on my last days as a HS senior. Such a hilarious movie, and it’s probably one of the only movies I’ve watched which accurately depicted teens.

I'd been out of school 5 years when this was released, took me right back to memories of those senior years of high school where trying to get your hands on booze is a big deal and if you pull it off it feels like a major score. What has made this movie stand the test of time (beyond the reasons outlined already) is how believable the dialogue sounds- this is a trait of a lot of Judd Apatow's works from the same time period. Like 'Can't Hardly Wait' there's also this sense that there is a whole lot more to these characters (their backstory, notable events) outside what we get to see in this pivotal, yet fleeting moment at the end of their highschool lives. It gives the character this added depth, and you feel as if there could be a whole other movie with these characters and there would be just as many memorable lines/ scenes, without skipping a beat.
Somebody commented once on another video that while shows such as 'Skins' or movies like 'Grease' depict what your high school years are meant to be like, a show like 'The Inbetweeners' depicts what your high school years are actually like. I would count 'Superbad' amongst the latter as well. Seth and Evan are not in the popular group, but they're not unbelievably dorky. Jules is clearly one of the more popular girls, but she's not stuck up and unapproachable/ unachievable. We also see her vulnerabilities as well as Becca's. These girls are clearly NOT unattainable for the two boys, even if the boys struggle to realise it.
'Superbad' (like 'Can't Hardly Wait' and 'American Graffiti' takes place over a single 24 hour period, which further gives it a realism and feels less like we're watching an air-brushed, edited narrative and more as if we're living the experience in the moment with the characters. This is a big part of why the movie stays with you and why the ending feels especially poignant. Both the main characters appear to get what they wanted, yet they realise they're losing something in the process. We want to see what happens next, but we don't get that chance.
Tremendous comment
The mclovin scene alone makes this a masterpiece.
"They let you pick any name you want when you get there"
"And you landed on McLovin?"
"Yeah it was between that and Mohammed"
"... why the FUCK would it be between that and mohammed?! "
This whole scene was one of the funniest scenes in any comedy for me. It's so relatable and genuine and every group of friends has that Fogel character who can't just pick a blend in name and blend in enough to get the job done, he just has to do different.
" one name? who are you, Seal? "
" what are you trying to be an Irish R&B singer?"
Everything in this movie is pure comedy gold for any teenager/young adult. It is so relatable and naturally funny.
That's a dumb fuckin fairytale name you FUCK
I’ve never been one of those people who naturally memorize entire song lyrics or movie scene dialogues, but when this movie came out, I knew every line of that comedic exchange by heart lmao
me and a group of friends did the mclovin scene for drama class, it was fantastic
i was mclovin :)
I wanna watch Superbad
Why the 👀FUCK👀 would it be between that and Mohammed?!
His eyes and inflection kill me
I’m Gen Z and this movie is definitely still relatable to this generation
Ikr this movie is one of the most relatable movies that I’ve ever watched
Fr
I literally go to a private boarding school in England and have never been to a high school party but it's still relatable
yeah like superbad really feels timeless, regardless of generation. like we all know someone who reminds us of one of the major superbad characters
@@DekuScrub_ There was a kid in my grade last year that looks and acts exactly like Fogell lol
What I really love about Superbad is that the studio didn’t ruin the legacy with sequels like what happened with The Hangover and American Pie.
It ended. I think Seth was wise to have the story be tight enough that no sequel, or question if a sequel, was needed
“It looks like a division sign”😭🤣🤣🤣

To me, Superbad is the only teen movie, either drama or comedy, that accurately depicts how teenagers act. I watch something like "13 Reasons Why", and just think, "Teenagers don't act like that! They're stereotypes who sound too scripted!" Even something like "American Pie", which I consider more "realistic", exaggerates them quite a bit for comedy. But Superbad, I completely relate to the characters, from Seth all the way to Steven Glansberg. They don't feel like characters that were carefully scripted to sound witty and composed, they feel like real teenagers. In Superbad, you also see characters that overlap into different social groups. It's an extremely small part of the movie, but to me, it's what really makes it relatable to me. I was a "floater" in high school, much like Seth and Evan. The kind of a person who existed in between social groups, and was loosely weaved into several of them. Fogell is an example of a kid who had no "real" friends, but loosely attached to Evan and Seth. The interactions, the slang, the behavior, and the expectations were all genuine.
the inbertweeners uk
For me the best teenagers comedies are American Pie and Superbad.
I was Fogal, now I'm Mc'Lovin lol.
You should really watch the U.K. Version of the Ibetweeners
What about Mr. Spider-Man Homecoming?
Few years back, got to meet Christopher Mintz-Plasse (AkA McLovin) and Dave Franco who were filming a Funny or Die skit where they were flying a helicopter. Coincidentally enough, I had my fake McLovin ID in my wallet. I asked Christopher to take a pic holding up the ID and he was kind enough to do so. He didn't even know you could buy those ID's on eBay. McLovin for LIFE!
I remember I completely lost it at Seth's delivery of the simple question of "What the fuck are you doing?" during the scene where he and Evan were trying to convince Fogel to head into the store to buy the alcohol. The phrase "What the fuck are you doing" is simple in itself and guarantees a small chuckle at most but it was the delivery that made it land
i hope that someday Jonah Hill gets an oscar for his acting. A lot of people just label him as a comedic fat guy but he’s actually a really talented actor
I think he’s kinda broken out of that a little but, but not entirely
He got Oscar nominations for Moneyball and Wolf of Wall Street. He has worked with the Coen brothers, Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese. Anyone who sees him as the funny fat guy has not been paying attention over the last decade.
He was absolutely fantastic in The Wolf of Wallstreet
@@mjwbulich but the Coen Brothers still don't direct the porn he watches :(
He's not fat anymore he's actually in really good shape and is landing serious roles
“I gotta catch a glimpse of these warlocks” and then them sprinting away is maybe the funniest part of any comedy movie I’ve ever seen
I can’t think of anyone who runs more iconically hilarious than Michael Cera or Jonah Hill
the best part is - it is SO relatable because I've done something similar with a friend of mine once. We were eating in a McDonald's, a hot girl that used to go to our school passed by, we looked at each other and said "Did you see that?" and the other replied "I did. Let's go". She was wearing short jeans shorts and she was THICC. We went out of McDonald's sprinting to catch another glimpse but unfortunately she was gone.
So, yeah, I imagine at least one more couple of people also did that, what makes it so good on the movie.
It's such a loser move but so funny
@@yhurimachLol, dork.
I watched Superbad last year when I was a senior and I can confirm it is still one of the most legendary movies I’ve ever seen
I never watched this movie growing up because I was a little kid when this came out, when I was 16 I found it on netflix and it is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen
"The most quotable scenes are never the funniest."
> Proceeds to call the McLovin scene the best in the movie.
noblearrogante yeah but normies NEVER quote anything other than "I am mclovin“ so it doesn’t count especially since that was literally in the trailer
Except it is funny.
> they’re just his opinions
> most quotable scene =/= best scene
The joke wasn't mclovin. The joke was the absurdity of fogel thinking Mohammed would've been a good fake name for him, since it's the most common name on the planet. Every good joke has some truth to it.
“So I’m supposed to sit here and lunch by myself? Like I’m fucking Steven glansberg?” One of my favorite lines from this movie
I will quote that until I die
Litterlly me to my friends at lunch 😂
@@anthonyhutchins2300 l
steven glansberg is one of the funniest names possible
Years later, I say this when someone leaves the lunch room at my work. 95% of people don't get it.
I’m 15, this film is definitely still relevant. All my friends think I look like Mclovin and I only realised it today.
I laughed so hard when Seth got hit by that car when Fogle was getting alcohol
This movie has been giving every graduating class an early midlife crisis since 2008
What do you mean?
*2007 actually
One of my favorite lines in the movie is when they get into the brawl at the first party and the coke heads yell “HOLD HIM JIMMY’S BROTHER!”
Peach Boy lmao! Yes and when that guy get hit in the head with the bottle I died 😂
I’m 20 now and I watched the movie for the first when in my senior year of high school when I was 17 and I can tell you the movie still holds up. Seeing the ending knowing that ultimately the same will happen to me and my friends really got me
as a sophomore, almost junior now as i’m writing this, it is april 2023. i finally watched this movie yesterday and i really liked it. i can say it’s still pretty funny and relatable to this day still for teenagers and young adults our age. personally i relate to the whole relationships and lacking confidence aspects of the movie in ways. i think it’s a great movie i’ll definitely show superbad to a few of my friends and rewatch it with them.
Still dont know why it had to be either Mclovin or Mohamed.
either the coolest name in the world or the most common in the world
pretty logical
@@canalsincontenido exactly
@@canalsincontenido Mclovin and Ronaldo are tied at #1 for coolest name, and Mohammed and Juan are tied for most commonly used name ever....

"I gotta catch a glimpse at these warlock's" lol love that line.
and the way it cuts to them sprinting after her, fully commited
The writing on this movie was SOMETHING ELSE
Watched it again today with my friends (as we do every year). It is amazing how it never ages. It's always a fun watch, love this movie.
Superbad is what the US Inbetweeners should've been like
Never thought Jar Jar Binks would say something actually worth listening to
I used yo hate you Jar Jar, now I respect you
Man the US version is soo shit
Exactly! Both Superbad and The Inbetweeners are known to realistically capture the high school experience in their respective countries. They don't sugar-coat any of the unsavoury traits of boys that age, but also have a heart behind it that realistically portrays male friendship in all its awkward and repulsive beauty. The US Inbetweeners was probably written by a bunch of out-of-touch boomers who tried to copy a show they don't understand from a culture they don't understand, thinking that high schoolers would like watching it because it has a bunch of sexual references.
Also, now that you brought that up, I just realized that it's a tragedy that a movie was never made where the boys from Superbad and The Inbetweeners meet. Imagine Jay and Seth competing to fuck the same girl, or McLovin getting really pissed at Neil for being comically wrong about a historical fact lmao. Both writing teams working together would've created something truly abhorrent in the greatest possible way.

This is how I feel about Hot Fuzz. It gets better every time I see it.
Hot Fuzz is quality British comedy. Simon peggs a beast
I place Hot Fuzz into a completely different category, it's undoubtedly a better film, but it does not make me feel the way Superbad does, in Superbad I feel how I did in highschool during lunch when I was bent over choking on laughter, from a joke with my friends, that keeps getting funnier and funnier every time someone speaks
The human statue scene in that movie gets me every time. I love how the old guy is legitimately upset about it
hell fucking yes.
@@brockobama257 I feel that way about hott Fuzz as an english man who has grown up in the British country side
This movie definitely still resonates with late high schoolers today. Even though I’m laughing the whole time watching, Superbad somehow also manages to capture all of the fears and insecurities about losing your closest friends as we get older. The ending is especially bitter sweet, like you said they get everything they wanted but they lose everything they had. Masterpiece.
My friends and I went and saw this one in theaters, one of my favorite memories from highs school. By far the hardest I've ever laughed in a movie theater. In tears multiple times.
The "Jimmy's brother" sequence at the party is one of my favorite things ever. Gold.
Sing for us lol.YOU WANT A LINE OF COCAINE YEEAAAAA
They built that up, too! Since the parking lot - "you know a guy named Jimmy? You totally look like his brother..."
I wanna watch Superbad
@@briantaylorcloe7725 Bro i didn't notice that even after watching it more than 10 times
The best line of the movie for me: "You're not supposed to park in the faculty lot."
It’s not like ur staff
I mean- cause you know it’s staff
*”I KNOW THAT FAGELL, I KNOW THAT.”*
The worst line is watching Superbad is illegal
Gotta agree with the video title. I keep going back to this movie and it never gets old.
Man I remember going to this movie with my brother when this came out.
We didn't think it would be a big deal. We were just like ya why not it should be fun...
I love that all the main actors in this went on to be huge! It makes me happy =]
Superbad is genuinely the best comedy of all time, the support and love for it is like a cult movie but millions of people.
Interesting how everyone seems to instantly forget about everything Monty Python did when it comes to teenage comedy.
Ray Baker mmmmmmm
Saying Superbad is the best comedy of all time shows how fucking dumb you are, it's definitely a great comedy but best of all time is nonsense.
the only american comdies worth watching are those with leslie nielsen
Superbad is sh1t
the most underrated character in this movie for me was Francis the driver. He made me laugh so hard in his small amount of screentime
Absolutely, and anytime I have an awkward pause with younger people. "so you guys got Myspace, err..."
It took me a long time to realize he was in Reno 911 and he's on Brooklyn nine-nine
When he tried to high five Seth for potentially banging Jules and Seth was like "wtf dude no" that shit killed me
@@_RiseAgainst I ask people that about 2/3 of the way through almost every game of counterstrike I play.
Joe Lo Truglia been an unsung hero\ scene stealer for a couple decades already ... Wet Hot American Summer; I Love You, Man; Here Awhile; Role Models ... Incredible work!
i’m currently a junior in high school, and i gotta say. watching this movie at 3 AM without any knowledge of the movies besides that it was commonly loved was just so good. it was one of the funniest films i’ve ever seen, while also kind of making me upset because of the ending with cera and hill. it’s quite the iconic picture.
It's such a perfect encapsulation of how we talked/acted/thought in high school. I love this movie so so much
That ending is very sad in a subtle way if you think about for too long...
As stated in the video, it’s truly bittersweet… In fact, I would go so far as to say it’s one of the most bitter sweet endings in the entire genre.
We’d all love to think that after Jonah Hill’s character goes down that escalator, and Michael Cera’s character Goes off with his love interest, that they would’ve called each other, and recount their individual tales as soon as they got home… And that’s most likely what those characters would have done.
But that division of directions that the ending showed was also meant to represent a division of direction *in their lives* , their opportunities, where they’re headed, and ultimately their friendship as they know it.
It’s easy to imagine that they both would have spent the entire summer with their respective love interests, and less time with each other… And with them both headed off to different colleges, it’s easy to think that what we experienced in the film was the last adventure and the last real journey those friends would ever have together.
For anyone who has graduated and gone away to college, you really do understand how rapidly things change, and how quickly you can grow apart from people who were such an integral part of your life for so many years.
And when I watch the end of the movie, I can’t help but feel as though that final scene really was the beginning of the end.
It’s my favorite comedy of all time, as well... and I watch it a few times a year, at least... but I do sometimes skip that last scene when I’m feeling a bit more somber, because it makes me think about the people who I’ve grown apart from.
I’m pretty sure they knew that, which is why *immediately* following that scene they just start showing a bunch of drawings of dicks, to kind of distract you from the gravity and reality behind that scene.
yeah
Well said, going thru that rn i feel the same exact way, thats definitely a theme that makes this movie timeless, and in a way it get heavier as we go on after graduation because it only get more apparent over the years
i hate thinking of losing all my highschool friends when i graduate
Glen Morris it’s a sad reality tho. Most people are lucky if they remain friends with 2 or 3 people from high school.
What’s worse is that the same thing happens when you graduate from college. You “new” group of friends all go their separate ways and back to where they’re from, or off to new jobs and places, and slowly, you become less involved with everyone’s individual life, because you’re focusing on your own, as are they.
Nate 1230 for sure the first several times I saw this, I didn’t really process that scene like that... but over a decade has passed, and you’re right, you’re able to relate to the subtle subtext of the scene and the movie as a whole.
When I first saw this, I interpreted it as a full comedy.
But it wasn’t long before I was able to recognize the tragedy within the comedy. And now, I am able to recognize that Superbad is nearly 50% comedy, and 50% tragedy.
Superbad is the most quotable movie I've ever seen. Every scene is hillarious with amazing dialogue.
Evan: "Look at those nipples"
Seth: "They look like little baby toes" 😂
No its not, it's full of annoying and dumb shit
Rioeio Kha Get. Out.
Rioeio Kha your judgment on TV in general is dogshit if you don’t think Superbad is good. The writing and subtleties within the show are insanely good for just being a regular teenage comedy
the thing i love about superbad is it also just makes me cringe into nothingness, its so funny
MrSpeedyAce that and step brothers and talledaga nights
i just graduated and watched this moving going into high school and i love it so much
I sat in the theater watching this a few days before the start of my senior year and ever since then it's been on of my favorite movies, for all the reasons you mentioned.
I'm 37 and this is by far my favorite comedy movie. And here's what makes it great: it's relatable to people my age (about the same as the writers) and people way younger 'cause it's truly about teenagers. Not what adults think of teenagers, but genuine teenager issues and insecurities. No matter if you are 45 or 25, this movie is about you back in the days.
Yep. Mid-30s and I love this movie...pretty sure I saw it multiple times in theaters, and everyone I knew liked it (sort-of). It's one of those movies that when it's making its run on mid-range cable, at like 1:35pm on a Sunday, if you see that it's on, you'll abandon all afternoon plans to rewatch (Aliens and Fury Road also high on that list).
This is also the exact pitch-perfect Michael Cera...which wound up being a very nary window.
Superbad was the movie of our time. Then, 21 Jump Street was the movie separating the 90s kids to the late 90s/early 00s kids.
So:
Superbad - Late Millenials
21 Jump Street - Early Gen Z

Superbad was an instant classic. I remember showing it to like 4 different friends within a week. Watched it all the way through each time and laughed just as hard every time
I'm 27 now and somehow I missed this movie when I was a teenager. I watched it tonight for the first time and I laughed my ass off. I may not be in high school anymore, but it really doesn't affect the humour.

I just love how I knew people in high school that were like every single character we meet (bar the adults) I find it oddly comforting like I’m watching a movie of my high school years
I’m currently in my senior year and only very recently watched this movie from start to finish (I would only ever run into it at the end or beginning.) and it really resonates with me, the awkwardness of high school, talking to people you like, having weird awkward sex and still trying to act like an adult, all while everyone treats you like a kid, growing up too fast and suddenly wanting to stop. It makes sense.
Just watch this film last night and already is my favourite comedy
I can tell
Just watched this today and its my favorite movie

“Watched that movie at the perfect time” You’ve said it perfectly, it has so much to do with the timing and the stats of mind you’re in when you watch it in the first time
I’m 19 graduated highschool last year and this movie resonated so much with my early highschool years when I first started to grow up and still managed to make me absolutely crack up when ever I watch it.
I’ve seen this movie so many times and I’ve always loved it I was born in the early 00s so I was brought up with comedies like this and the last time I watched it was right before graduating and I probably cried for an hour after. I think This movie will always be relevant especially to the late teens
Hot Fuzz is my magnum opus. I can watch it literally over and over and never get bored. Also has to do Edgar Wright absolutely dominating the visual comedy game.

This is the greatest comedy movie, high school senior, still holds up and I think it always will
First saw a bit of this movie as a kid. Watched the entire thing last year, on my last days as a HS senior. Such a hilarious movie, and it’s probably one of the only movies I’ve watched which accurately depicted teens.
I watched the movie immediately after this video, and the way the characters interact with each other in the school is REALISTIC
