Where is and what was Austin Powers?

[Kyle Nuva]

A over the top parody spy movie yes but somethings went too far, to very not appropriate or acceptable. like fat bastard, mistaking coffee for um yeah. nudity gags, sex jokes. dumb moments like getting the vehicle stuck in a hallway somehow... ???? the insanely ridiculous submarine, austins dad not being there and when they meet they have a strange discussion, even the girls are weirded out. they even made a parody to the parody with a fake/stunt double of the cast. then a total cliff hanger. silly and strange as hell movie.

[AWAWA Liz]

That's great you watched the movies OP.

I thought Alottavogina was hilarous, Elizabeth Hurley was sooooooo hot, Fat Bastard should be President and Austin ?, well Austin was, just so groovy baby :))

PS, had to change the a for o in you know where, sigh, why is a natural word deemed offensive ?.

Novelty wore off by "The Spy Who Shagged Me".

Funny movies when they came out but they don't stand the test of time like other comedy movies such as The Naked Gun and Hot Shots. They're still hilarious.
Also "not appropriate or acceptable"?
Comedy has no boundaries, everything is fair game. Every religion, race and whatever else is fair game.

Here is an excellent suggestion.

If they're not your kind of movie, please don't watch those movies. There are a million other comedy movies that you can check out.

Yes i agree with comedy, but you have to be aware of groups out there shutting down comedy acts.

I know some fragile people are trying to do that.
I'm thankful for people like Bill Burr and Eric Andre who don't care about that noise and do whatever they want.
Those people would have a heart attack if they ever watched any Bill Hicks stand up sets.

♥♥♥♥ them all.

Comedy comes from a dark or taboo subject. You don't tell jokes about well-adjusted people going to get the mail.

a lot of people have absolutely no problem with a comedian until that comedian makes fun of their things in particular. Then they get up in arms.

Joe Rogan has had stand up's on his podcast before who have told him that before they do a gig they've been "advised" to not tell certain kinds of jokes.
That would only make me want to tell those jokes even harder.
I went to a local comedy night recently where the act was telling really harsh jokes about gay people and kids with cancer and everyone was laughing their asses off.
In the real world of course you don't joke about that kind of thing but it's all about context. That's what so many people fail to understand. Make jokes about rape and Nazi's, i don't care because it's all about context,
They make their problem everyone else's problem.

That's why some of my favorite comedians are Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Sam kinison, Billy Connolly, and the like.

Although I did kind of feel really bad for George Carlin. His comedy got incredibly dark after his wife passed.

And people think Jeff Dunham is incredibly funny, while he spends 90% of his time being a racist homophobic piece of crap.

Jeff Dunham is cheap humor.
You could tell Bill Hicks and George Carlin were intelligent people with heart. Jeff Dunham aims for the lowest common denominator.
