"It's got electrolytes. It's got what plants and Catholics need!"

Now I am wondering if that was a thing in churches of the Idiocracy universe. Just dippin' babies in Brawndo.

“What if we just baptized the babies in water?”

“Water? Like from the toilet?”

IMO, the holy trinity of The Water Boy, Billy Madison, and Happy Gilmore all hold up pretty well. They're all "misfit gets the girl" stories, which could be super out of touch (especially with 90s and 00s humor), but I don't recall tooooo much, if any with those three. Less confident in other Sandler like Little Nicky

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Little Nicky got shit on when it was new, but I put it right next to the other three mentioned. The one that I'm kinda on the fence with is Punch Drunk Love. I didn't care for it when it was new, except for the bathroom scene, but it's also not his normal kind of humor; it's drier and more dramatic. I might like it more now, or I could like it less. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Everything AFTER PDL other than Anger Management, tho, has been pure garbage.

Somehow I forgot Little Nicky was a Sandler movie given that I don't really like him. Now you've got me wondering if it holds up because it was supposed to be more vulgar in the first place. I probably conflate it with Dogma, too.

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've never seen Dogma but I'm thrilled for its re-release this summer

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I wasn't aware! I saw Dogma many years ago along with half of Clerks 1 and half of Jay and Silent Bob. However, I watched through the entire Askewniverse over the last 3 years. Dogma is my favorite. George Carlin as a priest? Fuck yeah. Alan Rickman with Ken doll crotch? Why not! I thought it was the most clever of the bunch

Reverend Lionel Preacherbot is appealing the decision.

BEEP. ENTER NUMBER OF SINS. DISPENSING HOLY WATER AT 50 GALLONS PER SECOND.

That will be $180

This is what happens when ~~all~~ some of the pedophiles get removed from the priesthood.
