This is one of those movies that I absolutely adored when it first came out, but I haven’t ever really re-watched it in the decades since because I’m afraid it might not have aged well. And I prefer to remember it fondly.
I would expect most of Mike Meyers’s work to do well because his jokes were always wordplay and fart humor, rather than racism and coping with being a cishet white guy.
A ton of movies from the 80s and 90s hold up well except for maybe one or two jokes that haven’t aged well. In most cases, they could cut those specific jokes out without losing anything and the rest of the movie aged perfectly fine.

Just saw it again the other day. It’s still really good imo.

I think no comedy from the 80s or 90s has aged well.

Top Secret. Jaws: The Revenge. Both from the 80s, and both hilarious…though for entirely different reasons.

I wish that kind of slap stick comedy was still a thing, Top Secret is wonderful as well

I’m sorry, but are you even familiar with Robin Williams’s work?
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Yes and several of them aged poorly like Moscow on the Hudson

I just watched Dirty Work last night for the first time in 20+ years and it was hilarious… But I’m a huge Norm fan, so I might be biased.

I like that you posted the broadcast TV edit of the movie, which wasn’t allowed to show the famous cum joke on-screen.

I think it’s called There’s Something About Mary?

Same! I might bust it out and try it on the wife and kids tonight.
