We all know that comedy has been dead for a while now. No, not in some weird political stance kind of way. But seriously, they don’t fucking make good comedies anymore. It’s inarguable. They don’t exist in nearly the same capacity. And yeah, it’s probably because a bunch of big ole’ bitch made sissies can’t handle laughing at themselves. And yeah, I’m talking about everyone. Every single red, blue, whatever. STOP WHINING!
Anyway, it’s been so bad on the streets that I have, over the past few years, developed an affinity for Adam Sandler’s extra crispy shitty comedies he vomits onto Netflix every few years. They have fun and I miss that about us.
But if the past tells us anything it is that most sequels to comedy classics that come decades later usually suck my butt, Steve. Some are overly hated, sure but at best they are usually just awkward and desperate to capture a spark that passed a long time ago.
Both footage teasers for Happy Gilmore 2 have given me almost no hope. Everything is super shiny looking and has this fake 2025 straight to Netflix look. The only time I laughed is when the guy on the beach pinches his own nipples. The rest seems like an awkward attempt to make us…..cry? This is Happy fucking Gilmore, folks. Can’t we just laugh?
I don’t know. I’m desperate for this to be good and it’s so nice to see the character back but I can’t figure out whether or not it has any hope. The price feels wrong, bitch.
