I would expect most of Mike Meyers’s work to do well because his jokes were always wordplay and fart humor, rather than racism and coping with being a cishet white guy.
… Yeahhh… Okay, that’s fair. Mini me and fatjokes and racism… And ageism… Yeah It’s not good.
Love guru though, I wiped that pos from my memory. So, my humblest appogies on that mistake.
And don’t get me wrong, now thinking back to when I last watched the austin powers movies, I remember thinking “these still actually hold up at all, but won’t last a ton longer”.
Damn.
My memory even of like three years ago had me only remembering the good parts.
What about Ace Ventura? Surel- fuck. I mean. There’s gotta be an amount of space for accepting some parts of movies that would otherwise not hold up, right? Like, I’m sure these people have come with us in society and learned better as society has…right? 🥹
A ton of movies from the 80s and 90s hold up well except for maybe one or two jokes that haven’t aged well. In most cases, they could cut those specific jokes out without losing anything and the rest of the movie aged perfectly fine.
The old ZAZ movies were great because they knew to hang the constant gags on a plot that, threadbare as it was, made it a silly movie and not a tedious collection of parody sketches where the actors just don’t bother changing costumes.
I think no comedy from the 80s or 90s has aged well.
Naked Gun, The Mask, Top Gun, Gremlins 2, Wayne’s World, Groundhog Day, …

Mini-me is considered to be outright hate speech and The Love Guru is nothing but racism
sigh… Yeaahhhhh…

Uhm… Space balls?
I’m sorry, but are you even familiar with Robin Williams’s work?
Yes and several of them aged poorly like Moscow on the Hudson
I mean, there’s aging poorly and there’s sucked the whole time
Robin Williams was one of the most overrated comedians of the 80s and 90s.
I assume you only know his film work then.
He’s actually a decent dramatic actor. One Hour Photo was great. The guy is just not funny, probably because he was coked up half the time.
Dramatic actor? Yes, agreed. I just never liked his film comedy.

Just watched naked gun, aged like wine fine
I wish that kind of slap stick comedy was still a thing, Top Secret is wonderful as well
Hundreds of Beavers

Shoutout to “The Wrong Guy”, Dave Foley is a national icon.
I still regularly think about Enema Bag Jones.
