I see Mike Meyers like Adam Sandler. Both were good on SNL. Both had some pretty good to really good movies early in their movie career, but then grew pretty stale.

hurtful stereotypes


That anti-semitic and sexist bit he had parodying Babs Streisand was as hurtful as anything I've ever seen.

I concur. The first Austin Powers was funny. The rest were just the same old jokes. Nice eye candy though.

Gen Y and Millennials are the same generation. Gen Y was just the lazy name the media used until Millennial was settled on.

This list is from CareerPlanner.com but it's essentially the same give or take a few years on each gen's end everywhere else depending on the cutoff years used.

That monologue about his childhood was one of the funniest parts of the entire series. That and the bathroom scene “who does number 2 work for?”

THE shite YOU SAY SON?!?!

I can remember seeing the first Austin Powers in the theater and being surprised how much i missed because everyone in the theater was literally LOLing so loud once i watched it again when it came out on DVD (maybe VHS).

Great original comedy that still has legs today!
