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

- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Superbad was right in the middle of Judd Apatow's incredible comedy hotstreak in 2007. Maybe not the most iconic film he's been involved in, it's probably the most influential on both modern high-school comedies, and also launched the superstar careers of at least 4 or 5 now superstars, inluding Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Stone, and Bill Hader. Here's a brief history of Superbad, and the casting stories that go with it.

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.
This kind of comedy is not being made now somehow. People or industry became more serious and sensitive maybe. I also love Adam Sandler comedies, they’ve also changed , that style is found stupid or Idk, I love ‘em. Comedy movies doesn’t come out much anymore which I hate. Loved this video❤
@@elikebudi yeah I was listening to an Adam Sandler interview the other day and he was saying how much his writing approach has changed since his SNL/Happy Gilmore days - both because of the fear of cancel culture/how quickly angry people can "mobilise" online now, but also because studios don't really make $20 million comedies anymore :((( definitely a dying breed.
Easy A came out 3 years later and I rated that one higher.
@@TommyAngelo1337 true - another good one
not really into these kinds of films but him saying this was the last best high school comedy or anyone about their own work feels kinda full of themselves not saying he is but idk i think let other people decide that but idk could just be me i never feel right saying any work i do is better then others but i also do art and game design well small projects rn that being said you can definitely tell someone their stuff is bad i just feel like at a certain point something isnt just better but is down to what you like (and yes youtube comments are the only place i can share my random brain thoughts)
I think "back when comedies took chances with their casting" would be an even better re-title. Because that never happens anymore
"back when they made more than 3 comedies a year" 🥲
@@SceneItReviews Or simply "back when they made real comedies"
@@SceneItReviews When did the last notable comedy even come out? I genuinely can only remember Good Boys and that was 2019
@@SceneItReviews I feel like studios perceive the public to be too uptight for comedy but it’s really not true for 99% of people, its just the Twitter lurkers that will review bomb everything into oblivion.
Oh it happens. But only with established IPs using actors that are totally different ethnicities than the original source material, and they're also gay now.
Probably THEE best high school comedy ever written. Felt so real
Haha i agree, i’m close to crying when i think about when i see it first time.
Most amazing movie ever made.
I watched this movie in highschool also but I guess because I'm not American and wasn't familiar with your culture, I never thought it was relatable, I just liked it because it was funny. I even thought it was whacky and over the top, not real.
@@TommyAngelo1337I think the equivalent in British humour would be the tv show The Inbetweeners in capturing the awkwardness of your teenage years
This movie puts all over highschool movies to shame
Highschool Musical. Now don't you feel silly.
The Mclovin-Muhammed conversation scene during the fake ID reveal is legit one of the funniest things I've ever watched and it still gets me to this day, years later.
The theater I was in couldn’t stop laughing the entire time. It’s one of multiple times I cried laughing the first time I saw it.
However, to this day, when the cops say “OH SHIT ITS THE COPS” when shooting the street sign, I still tell people the moment I saw that for the first time is the hardest I’ve laughed in my entire life.
I agree.. when he yells "nobody has ever heard of it becus its a stupid made up fucking name"!! 😂
I wasn't too keen on the movie until Fogle showed up, and that McLovin scene sold me. When Jonah looked like his neurons were popping in his brain, "Why the f*** would it be between that and Muhammed!?" I loved that expression.
I consider this film a modern masterpiece. I will always appreciate Judd Apatow for bringing realness and emotional depth to comedy films, something that we take for granted now. Also one of the most quotable movie of all time
Jonah Hill really manifested his career. For this and Wolf of Wallstreet he was just persistant in being cast and eventually got it. He's probably done it more than that.
This movie is way too good to be real, and the fact that we got Emma Stone out of it, is just insane.
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
I think it's because the funniest parts of the movie are not the over-the-top hijinks that make you roll your eyes once you're older, it's the "real life" stuff that happens in between that's the funniest.
You can't make good comedies anymore.
They are scared someone may get offended.
I would tell them to just not watch the damn movie, but alas we are in clown world.
@@RuinedItAgainyeah this just isn’t true though is it.
@@dragoxk4542 name a good comedy that released in the last 5 years
@@RuinedItAgain”Bottoms” is a recent movie that is actually really good.
The daytime dialogue is so brilliantly written it’s ridiculous. Really captured the awkwardness of high school.
This movie was almost a staple for me and my friends growing up. From middle school all the way up to college, you’d have people quoting it or at least making Mclovin jokes
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.
Many ways that is timeless. Teens will always be getting up to edgy mischief by pushing boundaries, throwing parties with alcohol resulting in drunken escapades, trying to get laid by any means because they've never had sex before. Even if technology moves along, teenagers never change.
Right there with you!
SAME me with my friends except in the 2010's and booz didnt last long i smoked weed and did hard drugs
People forget how groundbreaking funny this was when it came out. I was always into comedy movies and when this came out i remember thinking in the theatre this was the hardest i ever laughed in my life...the next unique and perfectly nailed joke hit you when you were still laughing at the last one and it was relentless. First movie i actually missed about 30% of the dialog because me or the rest of the audience was still roaring laughing from the last joke. Was the full swing beginning of the golden age of comedy movies in my opinion
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.
Inbetweeners really was Superbad with British kids, very similar vibe, both hilarious, very well written and totally relatable to people of the respective countries.
They’re both relatable for those that grew up before everyone had a phone in their hands.
A stacked cast classic. Which I could have seen it in cinema
'can I get 13 beers to go please....'
Only a cop could get away with that.
These actors and films are universal. Great comedies
Dude, I thought this was a channel with millions of subscribers! This is great content! Keep pushing!
cheers bud - glad to know you enjoyed it👍
Without Superbad, I don't see a world in which The Edge of Seventeen gets made. Which is a wrong world to live in
another good one!
@@SceneItReviews ...should have read the pinned comment xD
or booksmart
0:05 I distinctly heard this next sentence as "it's the late nonny-nonnies."
dude your analysis paired w bts is amazing and edited seamlessly. keep it up!
When this movie came out my best friend and I finally had a movie we could watch and realistically see ourselves as the best friend main characters. To this day, he and I are still best friends and talk nonstop almost every single day. We became friends at 15 and I'm 38 now, so a 23 year long best friend relationship that grew exactly like the friendship in Superbad. Fun times.
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.
boat? or ship?
I carry a Mclovin ID in my wallet and frequently hand it to waitresses / bartenders who ID me. One of my favorite movies ever
The cast looks incredible. Seems like Michael Cera carried this whole movie on his back,
He’s excellent, no doubt. But you’d be doing the movie a disservice if you underestimate Johan Hill and Christopher Charles Mintz-Plasse. Not to mention side characters like Rogen and Bill Hader absolutely kill it as the cops
Doing what
I love Michael Cera but he is just playing the same role he plays in everything.
@@alexpotts6520true
Uhh
This movie realy made me a more happy person, its so amazing.
I see it around 3-4 times each year every year sins it was out.
The movie definitely didn't help you with grammar.
*really and *since
It's in the top 5 comedy movies of all time. I'm 40 and I've never, ever heard an audience laugh so absurdly hard as they did when I saw Superbad opening weekend.
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
I see No hard feelings and definitely got the 2000's comedy movies vibes but in a totally renewed way.
Going to see it tonight! Hope it’s fun 😇
@@SceneItReviewsit was cool
Me too! It was so good!
Love that film. For some reason the homeless guy yelling “McMuffin” on the bus is still the funniest to me 😂
He was on Freaks and Geeks. After watching all of these shows had to watch it. If you haven’t seen it you must. You won’t regret it!
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.
The only movie I ever watched twice in the same day.
When I rented it for the first time, I liked it so much I took it over to my girlfriend's place and immediately watched it again haha.
Dude great work on these videos. You’re talented
I love how they “couldn’t” cast Seth Rogen as Seth because he was too old … so they cast Jonah Hill, an actor one whole year younger than Rogen.
(To be fair, Rogen did have the track sheet of playing older adult actors, but the joke stands)
4:45 "Apatow finally had the jews to get the movie greenlit" 😂
I'll never forget seeing SB in the theater. They'll never make movies like that again.
i miss the old days of genuinely good comedy popcorn movies. the ones where you spit your soda out through your nose cuz you're laughing too hard. where you can go to the movies with your family and just have a good time and not worry about canon or lore, just enjoy.
Yeah it’s been a rough decade for comedies - here’s hoping for a revival!
What’s your funniest cinema comedy experience? I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder than when I went to see Step Brothers (probably because I was rightttt in the age bracket, but geeeez it was funny)
@@SceneItReviews i think the funniest time was me and my friend went to watch grown ups and we were freshman in high school. when adam sandler and kevin james were messing with david spade when he was asleep and they slapped him. me and my friends were dying and then the crowd shushed us and we just kept slapping each other to quiet down which only made us laugh even harder. i had to step out of the movie because i couldn't breathe being around those assholes who kept making me laugh xD
well personally I think spitting soda through your nose is painful
This is one of those classics that gets better and better the more you watch it.
Emma Stone did do well winning an Oscar but Jonah Hill was still nominated twice.
yeah Hill went from 'funny fat guy' to 'dramatic actor working with Scorsese' - pretty incredible
They were both really, really good in Maniac mini-series
Sooooooo..
2 Second Places
Beats 1 First Place
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight
@@imbaby5499 amazing chemistry across all the different styles and scenarios. I love that show so much
@@rzn2258 Calm down, it's just a Hollywood popularity award. Kinda like "MVP" awards in sports.
superbad belongs in the criterion collection
High school in 2023 - Euphoria
Actual high school - Superbad
TBH, it depends where you live and with whom you stand, but I get your point. Also, getting to smash Emma Stone's levels of gf as a random is uncommon as well.
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
this gives me hope, thank you and u made me smile with content and belief in future
ive seen this movie more times than i can even count and have literally somehow only just now connected the dots that seth and evan are literally seth and evan lmaoooo
I loved that movie, never heard of it before you mentionned it. I'm really glad I subscribed to you
When it comes to high school movies it's Superbad, Dazed and Confused and Fast Times at Ridgemont High at the top for me.
Anyone else notice the drawn portraits of Sam and Lindsey from Freaks and Geeks in the background of Michael Cera's interview at 7:35 ??
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.
"If a production company trusted some original talent" yeah, I don't think we're getting that again for a while :(
A24 and Neon do it a bit tbf
Man, great times watching this movie. I’m just sad that current generation will never have these kind of experiences growing up. The times hanging out in groups, having real conversations and physically be present and connected with each other …… will never be again.
casting sounds like a great oscar category until you realise that the casting director (who they would give the oscar to) wasnt mentionned at all in this vid :)
I'm Brazilian and although the highschool culture is pretty different, it was really fucking relatable in a way, the way they talked to each other, etc. My friends and I even say it dubbed and we couldn't stop laughing.
I love how they worked on body language and clothes in this movie. Many just forget about this and the way the actors dress or move make it unbeleivable that they are in high school. This one depicts it perfectly, the school scenes are perfect
No way I see this in my recommendations just 2 hours after I watched it. I'm guessing I have GBoard to thank for this.
Jonah slimmed down so much hes unrecognizable, we will always see him as his Superbad self.
Dog the cut at the end caught me off guard and got me laughin.
i remember when i was 17, the night i lost my virginity (i werent no late bloomer i just have no game lmao), went round to hers, smoked a few joints in her parents back garden with her, we went in, sat down on her couch and she said she wanted to watch a movie, she put superbad on. watched the first 15 minutes, missed the rest of the movie (hmm i wonder what we were doing).
oh to be 17 again
good shit jonathan joestar
I think the Fogel actor is very underrated.
Love your channel! You also sound exactly like Skill Up
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.
I do to. I adore him. Have since Arrested Development.
These actors and films are universal. Great comedies. A stacked cast classic. Which I could have seen it in cinema.
Hearing myspace mentioned hit hard. Holy heck, freshman year came back in an instant
I wish I could go back to the first time I saw this movie. Same with Pineapple Express. Saw them with my brother before he passed away
Excellent analysis. Thank you
13 beers to go is such a funny ass line
When people ask what my favourite movie is, I always say "Superbad" with a smile.
Can't watch it without constantly quoting along the whole time, gives me a good solid hit of happy chemicals every time I watch it. Coincidentally watched it for the millionth time last night w my boyfriend & couldn't resist watching yet another video about how phenomenal it is
At 4:06 Seth sounded SO MUCH like J.K. Simmons
I still remember how at the end of 2008 I was talking with another guy on CoD 4 and we both loved Superbad... so I told him to check out Tropic Thunder.
Honestly, these both were exceptional comedies. lmao
it's interesting, when this movie was new it really didn't do that much for me honestly, despite the fact that I was the right age for it, being in high school at the time. But these days, most of 20 years later, I think it's become one of my favorite comedies
I laughed so much the first time I saw it, I went to see it again to catch everything I missed and to watch everyone else laugh at what I hadn't. That hasn't happened to me since Superbad.
Don't want to be that guy, but you should know it's Seth RogEn, not RogAn. You repeat that mistake everywhere in your video and text.
Good shout, didn't even realise I messed that up.
Superbad is a perfect movie in my opinion.
Also insane how famous the cast got:
Jonah Hill
Emma Stone
Michael Cera
Chritopher Mintz-Plasse
Bill Hader
Seth Rogan
Joe Lo Truglio
Dave Franco
Clark Duke
Brian Huskey
Only outdone by the Scott Pilgrim cast around the same time.
Hey Scene It, do a video about Sean Penn! He cries in almost every movie. It's his thing. He's good at it
My brother introduced me to this movie at the ripe age of 10ish… not a single movie has managed to make me laugh consistently how this movie has since
keep up the good work mate
i guess it helps when your last name is Goldberg
The comedy in this movie never really spoke to me, and it wasn't until now, after having finished high school years ago, that I understand why. My high school experiences were so different from what this movie is drawing from that it just doesn't work for me. I still laugh at one or two jokes in it, but it largely just passes over my head.
napolean dynamite might be way more your style
that beer on the detergent container gotta make your stomach hurt and have diarrhea 😂
yeah I remember watching this in middle school or high school and I felt they got something right that almost no teen comedy before it. Still can't put my finger on it (cant be arsed) but it's defining an era frfr
In France we have "Les Beaux Gosses" - I'm pretty sure english subtitles exists, you all shall watch it
Seth Rogan, known associate of Joe Rogan, not to be confused with Seth Rogen, the man known for his trademark laugh
I don't know why it's so infuriating that this dude made this whole video but couldn't bother to get the name of one of the (relatively famous) dudes it's written by/about correct.
Martha MacIsaac (Becca) fell off so hard that I only know her from this, Magi-Nation, and that short-lived dub of Slam Dunk that only went 20 episodes
SuperBad and Drillbit Taylor... love both movies, I know every scene and still laugh a lot.
you make great videos
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
it did remind me a lot of high school shenanigans me and my friends would get up to.
Not a contemporary film to American Pie though…almost a decade apart my man
I ended up having a Hawaiian state ID card when I was in the Army. Because of this movie people would check so hard to see if it was fake. One cashier refused to sell me beer lol.
Was the perfect film for its time. If they had tried to make it 20 years before or after it wouldn't have stood a chance
Thank God for the Pirate Bay at that time.. 😂
Even in freaks and geaks, seth BARELY met the age of his character by how old he was
To me this is the best comedy ever made. I could watch this every day for a year straight!
Wanting to be cool, but knowing that you’re not. Too relatable
Christopher Mintz-Plasse is the best thing about SUPERBAD and you didn't even mention his name. Shame on you.
The only movie that accurate captures the high school awkwardness and cliques
Man!... I want to watch Superbad right now.
I am Italian.
I went to a vocational high school for realtors/land surveyors/construction spervisors that was for all intents and purposes males only (and the only girl... Was a 6'1” that, I am told, "married" a small blonde).
This movie looks like sci-fi to me.
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?)
That's Jimmy's brother! The singer! Sing for us man!
These small movies have so much upside potential it's stupid how Hollywood just dumps movies into big tentpole franchises that nobody wants to watch anymore. Even if they screw up the studio isn't out much money.
Thank you for reminding me to watch this movie again and also agree with everything in this video.
