Well just like the twilight movies where they give the women the chance to choose between the brooding artist vampire and the alpha jacked werewolf archetypes they knew some guys would want the girl next door and some would want the bad girl.
Apparently we choose different paths haha.

Yea- these movies were great and a staple of my high school days.
A big group of friends, boys and girls, going , being slightly loud and rude (nothing like some of the assholes today, however) before the movie started.
Telling parents to come pick us up 30 mins/ hour later than should have so we could hang out, play arcade games, and maybe get a number or a kiss!

Yes, it's less white guys and more girls, minorities, and gayness, but that's today's popular culture. They're still making them, they're just different.

Nah, it just comes and goes in waves. There will be a dead period where no memorable ones are made, then someone will make one and it will be a big hit which spawns others for a few years until they are just phoning the scripts in, then the genre goes back to sleep for a few years until the whole cycle starts over.
The cirrrrrrrcle of liiiiiiife...
oops!

I heard raves about Booksmart and Bottoms and those movies irked the frick out of me. Turned off Bottoms after 15 minutes. Watched Lady Bird around the same time as Booksmart and that was so, so much better and funnier

it's hard when all the high school college movies have the gay, lesbo, sassy black, trans, etc

Ricky Stanicky wasn't great, but fell in this realm. not HS/College but raunchy comedy.
But yeah, it mostly died.
I'm not the biggest critic of "woke" and call everything that, but the mid 2010s killed off the genre. toxic acting males just aren't en vogue.
a series that tetered on this was Obliterated. Plenty of woke/gay/race stuff, but it was pretty hilarious, poked fun at itself, and had the raunchy humor meant in the OP.

I really liked Ricky Stanicky - thought that was the best comedy I've seen in a while. .
I don't think the problem is "wokeness". There are funny TV shows that are pretty raunchy - Hacks, The Righteous Gemstones, Dave. I think it has to do with studios looking more at the international market and comedy not translating well.
I read something on one of the movie gossip websites about how there's a script for a raunchy comedy that's kicking around - supposed to deal with a bunch of dudes trying to pull back a group text message that goes viral. KInd of a Hangover type thing - apparently Adam Driver will star in it. That's one of those things where it's monkey see, monkey do. "Oh, a raunchy comedy with a good millennial actor was a hit. Give me a script and put Timothee Chalamet on the line!"

Isn't there another genre that's completely dead also.... I think it's rom-coms?
Posted on 6/13/25 at 2:16 pm to TideSaint
There are way more dead genres than alive ones right now.
If it's not a comic book movie, an animated kids movie, or a low budget horror film, the odds of it making noise at the box office is slim.

Yeah I think it has more to do with comedy in general. Hell I’d accept an edgy romantic comedy at this point.

Adult dramas of moderate budgets are pretty dead.

Hollywood is dead.
It was moment in 1981 when I snuck into Porky's with my friends. I cut grass to get that ticket.
Gratuitous nudity is so widely available now to kids - I don't think i would care as much today. Why buy the cow, as they say.
