Must be something like American Pie or Scary Movie. They set the tone for the whole 00s.

>>217810221Oh the ironing
Millenials were born ~1981-1996 so they were in their 20s 2001-2026. I know the answer might seem like "South Park the Movie!" or "American Pie!" but we should really look more at the halfway point beginning around 2012 so here's my answer.
>>217807971Scott Pilgrim is the defining comedy of the reddit millennial so it's gonna be that one.
Bump for more conscronvessial comedy movies for perennials
>>217811121Although Napoleon Dynamite was probably the first comedy aimed at millennials that made everyone else go "what the fuck is this?"Scott Pilgrim wasn't a big deal until 2017ish when the e-girl scene started dressing up like Ramona
>>217807971Probably Anchorman people wouldn't shut up about that one. If not then it's another Ferrel, Sandler, or Stiller movie
>>217811172Anchorman was one for the fathers. The biggest Will Ferrell movie for Millenials was Talladega Nights
>>217811166Half true with Napoleon Dynamite but the other half of this post is complete hogwash, Scott Pilgrim was huge when it came out to the point where it boosted interest and demand for the entire format of graphic novels in general exponentially for a solid while. It didn’t start anything either, it’s entirely a social satire on shit that had already been long in [hipster] style.
>>217807971Tucker and Dale vs Evil ... and it is still the best! No millennial!
Mean Girls GIWTWM
>>217807971Born 96. I’d have to say some of the most quoted movies were>21 Jump street>the hangover >anchorman
>>217807971tropic thunderit was the high watermark of comedy for the millennial generation.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
>>217811166>Scott Pilgrim wasn't a big deal until 2017ishi had college friends that gushed over the movie when it was new. i knew nothing about it, one of them said 'it's a video game movie and it opens with the link to the past opening jingle', i was sold, and boy was i let down
>sister amd her peers used to think Step Brothers was peak comedy>now they're wokefags and 'retard' is a terrible slur so they have to hate it
>>217808738>>217808747Carrey mogged Sandler so much it's not even funny.
>>217811322It's amazing how suddenly the word retard became a slur almost on the same level as faggot.
>>217811263Yeesh
>>217811371Retard is coming back in style.
>>217811382"Retarded" is. I think calling someone a "retard" still sounds too much like a slur.
>>217811220The movie completely bombed anon. Nobody cared about the movie until its home/streaming release and the average millennial didn't realize how universally loved it was until the e-girl apocalypse/Baby Driver. Before then it was a cult classic that people here and on Reddit would being up a lot.
>>217811523Oh I see, you’re reading shit online and using that as your source of information. If you were around when it came out you’d know how widely talked about and how much of a cultural phenomenon it was albeit for a brief time.
>>217811166>Although Napoleon Dynamite was probably the first comedy aimed at millennials that made everyone else go "what the fuck is this?"It wasn't though it was aimed at people from the midwest and everyone from outside of the midwest internally went "wtf is this" but because everyone from the midwest externally went "haha" everyone from outside the midwest externally went "wtf this is so cool lmao you just don't get it because you're not a millennial".Anyone at all from the midwest will confirm this.
>>217811286Honestly, probably this
>>217808738>>217808747>>217808881>>217808847>>217811003>>217811166Any of these t. Born '93
>>217811847Coastal urbanites couldn't figure out what year it was supposed to take place in, but midwesterners are aware that it took place in the modern day, because Midwestern culture lags 15-20 years behind coastal urban America.
>>217811003>Anchormanpeople raved about this but I didn't find it funny at all
>>217812055"people" are continuing to rave about Scott Pilgrim ITT, its not funny.
>>217811121I've literally never heard this film referenced irl. I think it's a film for the very-online, introverted types.
>>217812141I have a friend who is a hard core Edgar Wright fan who claims Scott Pilgrim is his single favorite movie of all time. He said this when he left the theatre. And reconfirmed it last time i saw him in 2025
>>217811334tbf carrey mogs everyone. He is the definition of actor. Has 1000 faces. Comedy? Check. Drama? Check. Young adult comical evil? Check. Capeshit? Check. All played to the max, he easily mogs everyone he plays with. If you need something generic after 2010 Burt Wonderstone. Jim Carrey steals that one too
>>217811280this one
