My son and I still quote that movie regularly. It’s my all time #2 comedy behind Borat…which we still quote even more.


Very nice

Although I think I would die of embarrassment now if my dad and I watched this movie together. He would cut it off quickly saying it was too vulgar.

That movie literally felt like they followed my group of friends around and filmed us. Really captures high school for millennials like no other movie.

I remember this came out around the same time that all of us were moving into the dorms at LSU freshman year. Was one of the first times we all did something together and was the start of all of us in Mcvoy becoming really good friends from then on out. I hadn't laughed so hard at a movie ever up until we saw that. And since then, this movie and the Hangover are the two defining theater experiences where I legit nearly passed out from hilarity.

Definitely felt like the magnum opus of comedy from Apatow's crew, and objectively one of the best comedies ever, especially to all of us just graduating HS. The genre overall was goat status during that 2004-2012ish period IMO

EDIT: Superbad was August 2007, so I definitely misremembered the experience as it was actually Talladega Nights as it released in August 2006. Makes sense, because for that whole month before classes started everybody was saying "SHAKE N' BAKE!" during any social interaction

“THIS WHOLE THING IS BIGGER THAN YOU, FOGELL!!! SO GROW A PAIR OF NUTTS AND frickING WALK IN THERE AND BUY THE ALCOHOL!!!”

“What if I don’t feel like it anymore, Seth? What?”

“Then I’ll fricking kill you. OK. I’ll get a knife and stab you through your fricking heart!”

“Killing me won’t get you alcohol, jerk off. I’m the one with the fake ID.”

“Well then I’ll cut your dumb little fricking face off, throw it over mine, and get your ID and then buy it my-fricking-self!”

“Oh really? You don’t have the technology or the steady hand to pull off a procedure like that, so HA!!! Peace!!!”

It was the most accurate portrayal of high school ever. One of our classmates we found out accidentally got an ID that said 1977 instead of 1987 from the DMV, so we obviously routinely dragged him to the liquor stores and gas stations. He was always scared shitless of walking in there and had to be verbally encouraged/threatened to do it each time. He eventually told his mom about the ID and he was grounded for a month over it.

I love doing that to my parents. Possibly the hardest I’ve ever laughed was showing my parents “Team America: World Police.”

My mom walked out on the sex scene but my dad stayed until the blowjob pact. As the scene is taking off my dad says “I swear to God, OML, this better not happen or I’m walking right the frick out immediately.” Then when it happens he storms out pissed saying this was the gayest fricking movie he’s ever seen outraged. I’m laughing my arse off typing this right now.

He later walks back in the living room in time for the “Dicks, Pussies, and Assholes” speech which he found funny and enlightening though.

Another thing I won’t forget is one of the hottest chicks from my high school got a breast reduction surgery between junior and senior year, and I said “That’s like slapping God across the face.”

And my best friend’s response: “She had back problems dude. Besides she’s been working out a lot and is in the best physical condition she’s ever been and hotter than ever.”

Yeah, it was very true to my high school.

I think anyone that graduated HS between 2006-11 could relate to this movie.

I think it’s more relatable to those that graduated before the iPhone was released. I’d say it’s more relatable to 99-08 graduating people. People that all had cell phones but without the internet on their phones at all time.
