American Pie was probably the peak of the Red Cup House Party teen comedy era

Nowdays if you made a movie like that, it'd bomb a lot harder

Mainly because of how oversaturated the genre became, following off the brilliance of hits like American Pie, and Van Wilder

Also, today it's all social media edginess

The oldschool classic style doesn't work anymore for these snapchattin' facebook tweetin' hashtaggers

Whatever happened to phones limited to just calls and texts

YO!

We need a new comedy for our millenial generation.

Nobody interacting and everyone stares on their smartphone

Superbad is better if we're being honest.

Not gonna go with pie just because it came first.

They're about the same.

American Pie definitely had a bigger impact when it came out relative to Superbad.

The comedy in American pie is too childish.. great when I was a teenager watching it but I literally haven't had the inclination to see those movies since I saw American wedding in the theater

I've popped in pretty in pink and 16 candles probly 20 times since

breakfast club 10 times or so

Ferris bueller probly 5 or 6 times

weird science a few times

superbad at least once since I saw it first

10 things I hate about you twice

clueless a few times

dazed and confused a few times

bill and Ted a few times


and by far the most ... fast times at Ridgemont high.. at least 50 times. and by far the goat teen comedy

you should all be ashamed of yourselves

another movie that was great when it came out but the comedy just doesn't resonate anymore

I thought this movie would be the breakfast club of its generation. same with the movie oldschool.. but they just don't age well

Deadpool, Wolf of Wall Street :(


They started making good horror films and TV series though now :confusedshrug:


I rather watch a standup than a comedy film anyways.
