Watched: Not Another Teen Movie

So very referential. There are some sight gags that kind of hold up, I've tried to catch most of them. There's also a lot of dumb, puerile, juvenile, and scatological humor that might still be funny for audiences of the intended age, but for me is pretty pathetic. I still like it when Chris Evans punches the plastic bag, though. I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out and I died laughing at that, I was the only person in the theater that did. To this day I maintain that it's the best joke in this garbage bucket of a movie.

Ugh.
  
Ted!

This is good.

This is also good.

But this is borderline great.


This wasn't so much a joke as just a reference, and if they hadn't had Chris Evans punch the bag after punching the American Beauty guy at the end, it would have been a pointless one.


So many familiar faces.


There is no joke here, it's just this guy doing the thing he does in The Breakfast Club.

Little did we know that this was actually just who Randy Quaid is.


That guy!
  
Hey it's those dudes!

Actually relevant running joke about minorities in teen films. Probably the actual best joke in the movie, I'll concede the Chris Evans bag punch to the "token black guy" running gag. This exchange at the party was probably the best of that.


No, Melissa Joan Hart, you are not, in fact, better than this.

Background sight gags!

That guy!

Okay, leaning a little too hard on this one now movie.

Aaaaand the joke is dead.

  
Bob! (Bob's Burgers, you guys, and also Archer!)


The pig trailing behind. Pretty good.

This exchange. Stupid but halfway funny.


  
Gretchen Weiners!
  

Nope, Molly Ringwald, you're not too good for this either.
