Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pothole purge saw nearly 8,000 craters filled in a single day – the same number that would usually take New York’s Department of Transport (DOT) a week.
Well, just off the top of my head, from very old memories, there’s tons of sexual assault. Also lots of making fun of fat people and people with different bodies in general. I’m sure there’s a lot more.
There’s also the fact that half the ‘jokes’ were just a scene going on longer than you’d expect.
I think a lot of the body shaming jokes don’t land not because we are uptight PC wokies, but because when you don’t stigmatise something, it loses its social power. Oh that person has a mole? So what? The boomer humour was ‘oh, it’s bad to have a mole, but you should never say anything about it!’ when you don’t believe either of those statements there is no joke, and the scene goes on for like 5 minutes…
I wish those movies were still funny today. They were so great in their time.
They aged terribly
Yeah, agreed on all counts 😕
I’m so glad someone finally had the bravery and moral courage to take on the scourge of…Austin Powers movies. Truly this is the cause of our time.
Can you share examples?
I don’t remotely remember the one i saw.

I wonder what will be considered horrible in 5-10 years from now? What awful thing we are doing now that we are unaware of?
I find the first one aged better than the rest. I still laughed out loud after watching it recently. The later movies, not so much.
Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.
