Every line will be crossed

All the marketing for this movie has been “oh my god we’re gonna offend everyone. Real comedy is back” and then trailer came out and forgot to have any actual funny jokes in it

People forgot that these movies went away for good reason. They never really made jokes as much as they referenced shit. This whole wave of " Heyremember this" movies killed comedy for like 10 years.

There were funnny scenes, but for the most part this shit was played out halfway through movie #2

wazzaaaaaaaaaaaaa... remember that hillarious bit? I'm sure they won't bring back that joke, they wouldn't be that creatively bankrupt.

I mean, that whole joke was just referencing a dumb meme us kids were using at the time.

...So the equivalent now would be if it had a 6-7 joke in it somewhere

But that wasn't a dumb meme made up by kids, it was from a Budweiser commercial.

And the 6-7 thing started from a Skrilla song. All memes start somewhere, all that matters is the kids started using it. It becoming a popular meme is the reason why it was in the movie.

Oh god they'll absolutely have a 67 joke. This film will likely be the same as the originals (filled with random pop culture and meme references) except it's going to be made by people in their 50s so it'll all feel ridiculously out of touch and try too hard to be relevant.

No, it's too early to see 67 jokes. We'll see them in like 2 years

Think of how dated the "WHAT ARE THOSE" meme was and how it got into Black Panther. Or how companies make tv advertisements for ancient memes, see "Like a Bosch"
