What's Missing From Adam McKay's New Movies?

I miss 2000s comedies a ton, but maybe its fine that they died off. What was everyone's favorite 2000s comedy? Mine is probably Step Brothers, but Superbad is definitely up there as well.

Gotta put Wedding Crashers up there too. Great video JGIV

Good breakdown. I think a McKay Farrell movie in 2024 would detract from their previous movies, like if they tried a new BTTF movie. Just be glad with the magic you had and leave it be.

My favorite Adam McKay is definitely Step Brothers, but 2000s comedies are huge to me so idk if I can pick a fav of all time

After seeing this video analysis in its entirety, i have but one thing to say... Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight Gonna grab some afternoon delight My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right' Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night? When everything's a little clearer in the light of day And we know the night is always gonna be there any way Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite Looking forward to a little afternoon delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Started out this morning feeling so polite I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling A little afternoon delight Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite Looking forward to a little afternoon delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight!

If the filming had happened a little earlier (pre-covid) I have no doubt that the movie would be a lot better.

Woah man your channel is gonna fly soon don't worry this is a great video

You are right i did miss the political messages the first time i saw them.

I'll take the Big Short and Vice over literally any movie with Will Ferrrell in it

When I watched DLU I decided to shut off the political part of my brain completely so I wouldn't get overcritical. I found it to be an excellent comedy thriller that kept it on the edge of my seat from the first to the last minute. Except for the very last scene reverting to plain comedy after a perfect dramatic conclusion - I'll admit that was a little jarring.

Just found u & was shocked how few subs u have ! U must be new ? Great channel , u are gonna be huge ! Great topic , presentation , audio ….. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 And Just the right amount of F~bombs !

I find it fascinating that Adam McKay has a trilogy of modern USA and people who seem to like Big Short and/or Vice really get irked by Don't Look Up. And it's kinda funny to me and hard to ignore that Big Short was aimed at Wall Street, Vice was aimed at the government and Don't Look Up is aimed at the people. So Big Short and Vice were fun and good, but as soon as you make fun of the people... all of a sudden it becomes preachy... Don't Look Up is a satire. It's not supposed to be funny, it's supposed to be creepy and scary in a goofy over-the-top way. Like Idiocracy or American Psycho or The Death of Stalin...

This video didn't need to exist.

Keep going!!!! Subscribed

My favorite Adam McKay and Will Ferrell movie probably is Step Brothers!! Absolutely fun and hilarious!

A video about the 2000s comedy eras love of Bradley Cooper built his career would be cool. Also, you’ve only got a few months to make a video about how Todd Philips’ 2000s comedies inform the Joker. Get them views.

It's insane to think that in the 2000s we had Superbad (my personal favorite of this era), The Anchorman, Pick of Destiny, Talladega Nights, Scott Pilgrim, 40 year-old virgin, American wedding, Bruce Almighty, Pineapple Express, Easy A, 21 Jump Street (these two might be a little into 2010s, but still) and I could go on and on forever, whereas today everyone is preoccupied with either well established IPs or politics for the sane of politics. And what's even more insane is the level of creativity and/or absurdity of these movies, but somehow they all worked really well. I really like social commentary and satire, but come on man, Idiocracy did it in 2006 without being patronizing or trying to shoehorn everything in our throats. P.S. To be honest, I really liked The big short and I liked Don't look up.

Nice video, dude! First time watching you. Subscribed now!

SNL. Highlights being the teleprompter down sketch seen early in this vid and one with Harvey Keitel as a door to door salesman who first turns down anything to drink only to change his mind and ask for a turkey sandwich and a Hi-C. My favorite part of his career might be how it seemed SNL had been re-crafted in style and structure and thereby rejuvenated. I'd swear the commercial break schedule was altered to allow for some of the transitions, but that could be my imagination.

Yeah McKay has gone down a weird road. He did so many Great comedy movies together. Now he is off on this political satire thing, Big Short was great but that's about it.
