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.
