Celebrate the R-rated comedy!

[Van Cruncheon]

In light of the mass H&K appreciation, let us celebrate what makes R-rated comedies great (and the lack of which make PG-13 comedies utter trash):

1 - TITTIES
2 - copious swearing
3 - TITTIES
4 - TITTIES
5 - TITTIES
6 - TITTIES
7 - TITTIES
8 - TITTIES
9 - the objectification of women
10 - TITTIES

BLOOD!  Sometimes caused by dicks in butts.

That's odd, I happen to love fucking titties while swearing.

[DJ_Tet]

Speaking of titties, were there any distinguished black fellow titties in Boss distinguished black fellow?

Shaun of the Dead is rated R and it doesn't have any titties.

What a great movie.

That is the best part... they are like brothers, and he has to leave him to die. Friends forever.

I had tears in my eyes the first time the last scene played, and led into the credits with the Queen music. :'(

R-rated comedies are just shadows of their former eighties' selves, now it's all about being as vulgar, cheap and crude as possible to cater to teens whereas before the content and humor was actually intelligent

Jotaro is right, R-rated comedies are just crude.  They will never use their ability to go to R as intelligently and tastefully as, say Stewardess School did in the 80s.

[G The Resurrected]

God i miss the 80's R-rated comedy they were so good. Theres only been a few movies in the past two decades that have been decent R-rated comedies. But nothing like all the 80's movies that were great.

eh, wonder if it's possible to pinpoint the moment where it changed

stuff like Scary Movie is the WORST thing to ever happen to American culture as a whole

and the highest amount of fans of these movies are well below 17, it really striked me to see many of them liking this so much and seeing all this nauseating vulgarity, all these sexual gags and over the top violence as if it was nothing, it's as if nothing can be too vulgar or offensive as long as it's presented in a "funny" context

what kind of fucked up human beings with no concept of decency will that nurture

Things have been this way since the 70s.  Comedies aimed at the teen set are crude.  The evolution of societal mores means that the acceptance of more things requires the crude, young person's comedy to get more crude in order to stay ahead of the mass acceptance curve.

If you REALLY want to blame the current "shock" humor trend, blame Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber.  They are not the prome offenders (and not bad movies), but they set the stage for today.

Really, though, someone crowing about how the raunchy comedies of the 80s were more "intelligent" (your words, not mine) sounds more like someone jaded and looking to talk shit about modern pop culture.  You think Porky's and its sequels were more "intelligent" than what we have today?  The culture hasn't gotten worse.  It is operating largely on the same principles it always have.  You are just getting older and have trouble accepting things since you are apparently judging on a curve that is not only based off of older movies, but a curve that may have never even existed in the first place.  "Intelligent" 80s R-rated comedies?  The 80s set the template for the raunchy sex farces of today.

sometimes I feel that since the Internet became mainstream there is pretty much nothing that impresses or offends people anymore and so in order to shock it's necessary to really push the envelope

like in say Clerks 2, there is a zoophile that is part of the plot.... why is it there do you think

Um, did you ever see Bachelor Party?  It is from the early 80s and also features sexy donkey hijinx.  You are once again WRONG.

[Cheebs]

Mondain the donkey show is there as a reference to the movie Bachelor Party. You didn't get that?

[Solo]

While I agree that shit like Dumb And Dumber is to blame for current comedy, it doesn't stop that movie from remaining my favorite comedy from the 90's. Could it be nostalgia? Sure, but I still get lots of laughs from it.

Groundhog Day = best comedy of the 90's.

I also have a very nostalgic spot for Billy Madison for some reason.

I can't be omniscient on comedies, sorry

but still that was apparently extremely memorable and even somewhat scandalous back then, whereas 22 years later that Clerks 2 gag is taken so lightly and creates no controversy at all

youths have seen so much with the Internet that it's very hard to offend them

Shaun would have been better if it showed that blonde girl's titties.

Yes, I'm sorry that my gift isn't family friendly.  I weighed that information when I got it, I just hope one day you are able to watch that cinematic classic
