ITT: young people who never saw this masterpiece of a movie.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I consider myself old, but I’m not remembering this movie. What was this from?

I was unaware that the Wachutis were biters!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Oh right, those. I’m so old I thought those were stupid and never watched them.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 22 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The important thing is that you found a way to feel superior

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

lol even younger me was a bit of a movie snob. Now I’m even worse about it.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 22 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

They are stupid but Jim Carry nails the role and it's objectively funny. Definitely worth watching both of them.

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

They are among the stupidest movies ever created without a doubt. And I absolutely adore them 😄

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

They absolutely are stupid and it's not to late to behold the stupidity

I saw this scene at 11 years old and I didn't stop laughing for 15 minutes.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 40 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't remember noticing how obviously fake that rhinoceros was when I was a kid

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

I do, but that may be because iirc it was fake in cannon. It's been a long time but as I recall he built the rhino as a sort of hunting blind, I don't remember why well but I think it was to observe/photo animals.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

He was following around one of the main villain's henchmen to see what he was up to.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Thank you! That was it! It was bugging me lol.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It was to spy on the guy who was suspected of... Doing something. It's been a while

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

He stole a white bat to halt a tribal marriage and then force a war between the tribes. Thus allowing an English company he owns to exploit the conflict to steal the guano trade for profit.

Dumb shit but fun shit.

Getting kinda hot in these rhinos...

[–] kionay@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I still use this line stepping into a hot car in the Summer.

Say what you will about those stupid movies, I miss them...

Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, Mel Brooks, the early Jim Carrey comedies, Police Academy...

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I just miss silly spoof movies.

I feel like those " (genre) Movie" films were such weak throwaways and the silly parody movie quietly just died shortly after. Especially when everything wanted to be an "adult comedy" or a "dramedy" (ughh!)

You don't really see that fun absurdist trope-poking humor of Kung Pow!, Airplane, Monty Python, or Austin Powers, anymore. Spy movie spoofs were such a great time. :)

A TV show called Angie Tribeca did this SO WELL. It was such a great cop show parody full of silly wordplay and puns and unbelievably ridiculous scenarios.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I miss movies like Scary Movie. You'll never see anything like that ever again.

"I told you not to disturb me when I'm cleaning my room!"

[–] Brown5500@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

I really loved police academy. Rewatched it recently with our late teen kids-wow, does it have some racial and queer jokes that made us all very uncomfortable. the rest is still gold though.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

I'm surprised I didn't rupture my spleen when I saw that.

It was in a cinema, too, if you remember what those were.

I couldn't breathe, and I was all but a puddle on the sticky floor, laughing my adult ass off.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Same same. One of the funniest scenes in a movie that I can recall.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

That scene was about as hard as I've ever laughed. Must have had it on VCR because it was the 90s. Scared to revisit it because I couldn't possibly laugh that hard a second time.

I just had the disturbing realization that someone is into this shit.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

And that started with this. How many rhinoceros furries exist now because of it?

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

By my Google image results, I'd say there's a few!

[–] drev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

To this day, I've never laughed harder than I did when I first saw this scene. My cheeks and abs cramped up, my back started to hurt, my lungs damn near collapsed from laughing so hard.

Thankfully, I don't think I'll ever laugh that hard for as long as I live, because I think there might be a good chance I could actually die of laughter.

Jim Carrey is the GOAT

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"You're gonna laugh yourselves to death! Just like your idiot hyena cousins!!1!"

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I recognize that quote. And that one is a classic.

There’s nothing inherently wholesome or obscene about the cycle of death and rebirth. It simply is. 🧘

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It is wholesome. A family in the film even stops to watch the miracle of life.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, the transphobia in the prequel is less wholesome.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Ah hell I'd glossed over that in my mind. Thanks for the reminder.

[–] aviationeast@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Only way you'd see that today is if impractical jokers did a movie

[–] ech@lemm.ee 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's hilarious the you're simultaneously (and incorrectly) claiming "movies these days" are too PC for this, and yet the "edgiest" comedians you can come up with are a group of middle-aged dad's doing the most pg "pranks" ever.

Jim Carey is an anti-vac conspiracy dickhead.

Both statements are valid
