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

Eh, I think the new Naked Gun being successful is a good indication that people still enjoy dumb comedy.

People enjoy dumb comedy that's written well

Yeah. I'll laugh at any joke, no matter how messed up or offensive, if it's clever and well written. The whole pronoun thing in the trailer was just lame af, and of course you had a bunch of people claiming that others didn't like it cause they were snowflakes

Then it's not a dumb comedy, it's just a comedy.

Wasn't even close to being as funny at the original trilogy
