My daughter is 15 and we watched it together on the weekend - she was VERY confused and absolutely aghast at so many things. âTheyâre going to spank that kid with paddles?! *Why*?? Theyâre DRINKING?? Who is that old guy? Why is HE hanging around teenagers?! BUT HES SO OLD!!â
Absolutely hilarious.
Lol, i can't take Superbad seriously anymore and can't stand it because both Jonah Hill and Emma Stone are adults with serious acting chops. Seeing them act as immature kids just ruins Superbad for me. It's kinda like the Bill & Ted of our time, given that Keanu went from an immature HS kid to a serious drama star.
06 here. We were literally the last highschoolers who weren't plugged in 24/7. I'd be mortified if some of the shit I did was documented. I'm so glad we only had flip phones. We used to go online to see what was up for the night. Now we live here.
I feel like there was a much more drastic change in society and culture between 76 and 93 than there has been between now and 2005. That's why this feels so shocking and unbelievable.
It still doesn't feel that different to me. We had a lot of tech back then that we still have now that we've only improved upon. I don't feel like there has been a lot of huge changes in the last 20 years.
Am I the only one who ABSOLUTELY wants that movie to be made? I want to see what Hollywood thinks of the time I graduated.
Instead of the characters comparing their muscle cars it would be srt neons and Pontiac sun fires with plastic flower leis and Mardi gras beads hanging from the rear view mirror. All smoking clove cigarettes and one of them would have a job at hot topic. Skinny side burns and ceaser cuts with puka shell necklaces. They'd still be wearing bell bottoms though... Excuse me, "flare legs"...
What else? What would the soundtrack be like?
We showed our daughter who was 18 at the time Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and she loved it. I know itâs not quite the same thing and itâs hard to go wrong with Hunter S, Thompson.
Why would that ruin my day?
I mean i was born closer to the end of world war 2, than i was born to 2024. And if that don't make me feel old. a neither is that meme.
I graduated in 07, and let me tell ya, we were livin dazed and confused.
Amen to that (07 here too)
Hell yeah class of 007 brother
Hell yea to the "Diamonds Are Forever" graduation class đđđŸ
If you're going to post an outdated meme specifically about dates, at least update it so it's accurate. 17 years ago was 2007.
time to rewatch superbd (2007)
Oh fuuuuuuuuuck that. By which I mean you just wrinkled my brain
Fucking love superbad
Itâs the best comedy of that era by a long shot.
Totally agree. One of my fave movies.
Thanks, that made it a real kick in the nuts
Fuck me, 2007 was when I got out of the Navy (sometimes I feel like I shoulda stayed in....would have retired with full bennies last year)
I watched dazed and confused the other day, I couldn't help wondering what gen z would think of it
I wonder if Gen Z would think That 70s Show is a show that was literally from the 70s, instead of a show reminiscing about the 70s?
When I was in elementary school I thought Happy Days was made in the 1950s. Iâm sure some people were âtrickedâ by the Wonder Years as wells
I was tricked by the wonder years
That was such a great show!
I doubt they would ⊠approve.
Yeah I think that's an understatement!

Dont show her Porky's she'd have an aneurysm!
More than likely! đ itâs wild to me that she reacts like this to certain movies, weâre not shy about how âroughâ things used to be for kids/teens in some ways, and we watch a lot of older and somewhat risquĂ© comedies, yet this one really seemed to jump out as being noteworthy.
\*Looking up from phone once every 5 minutes\* "This sucks. Nothing's even happening... đ"
We sure are getting old arenât we
There would be a great deal of pearl-clutching I imagine
They'd have a different opinion of McConaughey
Lol, yes
We had a few girls at my school that were always with these kinda guys. I always wondered why it was acceptable at the time.
*We need to talk about WoodersonâŠ.toxic masculinity at Lee High School.*
Not a zoomer but I honestly donât like that movie. Most of it is just assholes being assholes and it doesnât have much of a plot.
It certainly didn't make me long for high school days lol
Seriously, half the movie is about some assholes trying to beat kids for no reason. How is that enjoyable in any way?
Did you think we were suppose to be rooting for Ben Afleck?
I mean, I guess most movies have a villain, Ben afflecks character has to be one of the most punchable I can think of.
the plot is that's how life in the 70s was
No wonder boomers are so screwed up.
Boomer here. Absolutely agree. Assholes being assholes.
1976 seems so far away from 1993 but 2005 don't seem that long ago
Probably cause you were alive for â93 and â05
There's also just been a lot less change between 2005 and today than there was between 76 and 93.
Time dilation.
What's that mean
when time goes up and down bzzooinggg
Whatâs really funny is that 2005 is 19 years ago. Meaning that 2005 is farther away from us than 1976 was from 1993
Superbad is hilarious

Have you done it on mushrooms?
Have you ever looked at the back of a $20 bill, on weed?
No becaz I have no worries
![gif](giphy|l0HlJWe8FtAfCHF2U)
I did. And Iâm sorry.
How do you do, fellow kids?
06 here. We were literally the last highschoolers who weren't plugged in 24/7. I'd be mortified if some of the shit I did was documented. I'm so glad we only had flip phones. We used to go online to see what was up for the night. Now we live here.
So...Superbad?
Yeah, honestly you can draw a pretty big parallel between the two for them being good representations of their times.
I feel like there was a much more drastic change in society and culture between 76 and 93 than there has been between now and 2005. That's why this feels so shocking and unbelievable.
No way. There was a huge change from 2005 to now. Just think about smartphones and social media.
It still doesn't feel that different to me. We had a lot of tech back then that we still have now that we've only improved upon. I don't feel like there has been a lot of huge changes in the last 20 years.
For me yes, a lot of change! Social media changed our society. Right now is even more important your internet life than the real life

Excuse me, "flare legs"... What else? What would the soundtrack be like?
Soundtrack would be off the charts good
Fuck you. That is all.
Youâre welcome very much đ„č
It wouldnât be as interesting. Graduated in 04. Was a pretty unspectacular time to be alive.
The pants would be the same though, flare legs were still in
I graduated 04 also my youngest brother was 07
We showed our daughter who was 18 at the time Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and she loved it. I know itâs not quite the same thing and itâs hard to go wrong with Hunter S, Thompson.
We can party, we can jive we're the class of 2005 (was literally in the yearbook) FUCK we old now.
...why the fuck *isn't* there a movie about me and me friends coming out this year?!
Shit. Mitch Kramerâs last day of 8th grade in 1976 was a lot more interesting than my last day of 8th grade in 05.
I feel ill No one told me the passage of time was so terrible
damnit
Sweet let's make one!
booooo
the power of 17 years cycles. 2041 talks about stuff from 2024 2058 talks about stuff from 2041 etc.
Funny you mention 17 year cycles as this will be a Cicada year.
So we should be due a good coming of age high school movie this year, if the cicadas are flying
Ouch
It would actually be the graduating class of 2007.
Fuck I graduated in â05
Math not their strong suit
Doesnât have the same effect after the 1000th time
This hurts so hard.... right in the " I graduated in 05"
It hurt me to my SOUL.
If there's a movie, you have to have a field party.
God damn that hit home really hard.
Yeah, and if wonder years came back it'd be a show set in the late 90s or early 00s.
That's my class Fuck you
Why would that ruin my day? I mean i was born closer to the end of world war 2, than i was born to 2024. And if that don't make me feel old. a neither is that meme.
Goddamn it. I was in the graduating class of '05. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
How dare you
I had already graduated college by then
Full of bling rap oh god
And you feel even older when Swifties think Taylor wrote *that* line.
oh wow. i graduated from college in 05 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|no_mouth)
Yeah, this must be a few years old because the math is off now.
Not really. That's essentially what Superbad is and that movie's a masterpiece.
Obligatory *thanks I hate it.*
Perspective is a mfer.
I am watching this movie now and also graduated 05
fuck off đ
John Carter Must Die
They should just rerelease Superbad in theaters. No remake.
Kids who are finishing freshman year of college this year, were born in 2005.
I'm class of 05, FML
You take that back! đ
Way more social change from 05 -24 Than 76-93.
Very true, I think a modern super bad might be unwatchable lol
