>Characters which have aged extremely poorly
>>220935284
>>220935284Mini-Me was hilarious, Fat Bastard had some good gags but he overstayed his welcome and became irritating. Pic Related is the worst character in the trilogy, just horribly unfunny
>>220935319I agree, but the best part of the third one is how creeped out Dr. Evil gets when he has to deal with Goldmember.
>>220935319Because no one understood what kind of spoof wasn’t Dutch or not, it was more inscrutable
>>220935347Fat Bastard was inscrutable in his own way. Are Scottish people known for obesity? Cannibalism? I don't get it.
>>220935380the dumb monologue where Dr. Evil talks about his shorn scrotum and being Belgian and Austin's "englishness" propelled similar gimmicks with Fat Bastard and Goldmember, even though with Dr. Evil and Austin it's more incidental and there's more going on with them than the accent or casual referencesAnd also Europe just being generally "funny" was also just a concept endemic to the 80s and 90s and early 00s in a way that it isn't anymoreWhen was the last time you saw a "foreign exchange student" or "my grandma is from a village in this made up european country and she's really weird!" plot in something? Whereas most sitcoms from the golden age of network TV would have episodes/arcs about that, or would be based around that concept entirely like Perfect Strangers
>>220935313Do NOT look up Tia Carrere now.
>>220935319Mike went way too overboard with playing different characters. Just him playing Austin and Dr Evil was already enough. After that it got annoying as hell
>>220935284Well no shit anon, he died.
>>220935508Eh, I've seen worse.
>>220935523Thing is, actors playing different characters has never been funny. Why don't they understand this?
>>220935380It’s a Scottish guy but just also terrible and disgusting. It’s about the combination not it being a scottish thing The Dutch guy couldn’t be read as distinctly
>>220935494Americans: normalNon-Americans: not normaltotal hilarity ensues
>>2209355381000 times better than the average boggling.
>>220935494Has anyone here ever seen a single episode of Perfect Strangers, the most watched tv show of its time? Does anyone here even know what Perfect Strangers was?
>>220935570the issue is when they switched to doing that with nonwhite people and it's not as funny because obviously some brownie from gubu-gabu land is gonna be weirdbut if it's a white person the juxtaposition of familiar appearance and unfamiliar behaviors is a legitimate avenue for comedic situations
>>220935602I've never seen it, personally, I just know of Balki and that that was his whole deal But it also applies to Peter Parker's landlord in the Raimi Spider-Man movies, for example (and also Drag Me to Hell), or Lois' mom on Malcolm in the Middle, or the movie Eurotrip
>>220935564>Carvey got jelaous that his costar was making bank with Austin Powers so he thinks he can do the same movie with his impressions but it bombs so hard his career ends
>>220935319Made sure I could never say the word gold like a normal human being ever again.
>In Jurassic World, Bryce Dallas Howard’s character (Claire Dearing) running through the jungle in high heels quickly sparked a massive pop-culture debate about sexism in Hollywood. Critics argued the footwear was an impractical, unnecessary trope designed for the male gaze.
>>220935679Divine justice
They were gross and bad enough to begin with. How is a mute midge and some obese farting jock parody meant to have aged exactly? They were one line bad taste gag jokes that most people who enjoyed the movies disliked and thought should have been ditched sooner, but i can understand the appeal of mini-me and why it stuck around, was sure the 'funnier' of the two.
>>220935380Mike Myers just wanted to flex his Scottish accent and physical comedy.
>>220935538I’d fuck her
>>220935538looks like Dr Pimple Popper
>>220935679>1% on Rotten Tomatoesdamn
GET IN MAH BELLY
>>220935816Why do Canadians hate the Scots so much?
>>220935920All I remember is all the vomit. It still repulses me. I can't stand that character for all the vomit alone.
>>220935887Toronto is a Chinese prefecture these days.
>>220935679master of disguise is kino
>>220935944I don't even remember him throwing him
>>220935679maybe he was too turtlely
>>220935319Yeah I'm not sure why nobody told Mike that Goldmember was a fucking dogshit character.
>>220935723Me and my family have to hold back saying "i love gooooooold" whenever we express approval of something goldy shiny
