"WE COULD BE THOSE MISTAKES"is probably the best line in comedic history. It tells you literally everything you need to know about Seth as well as being absolutely hilarious.
pretty insane that seth rogen and evan goldberg wrote the original screen-play for this movie when they were 13. what kind of genius brains do these guys have
@@adolfobermudez1487 no shit, thanks bud. dont remember saying that they wrote the final draft when they where 13. 'preciate the detailed insights into the process of screenwriting though
@@SharksSJ408 The American Pie cast were mostly in their 20s and definitely looked it. Contrary to Superbad, you had some clear "kids" who were well past pubescent (Stifler, Alyson Hannigan's band camp character). It's like the contrast between Amazing Spider Man and Spider Man: Homecoming.
Evan: McLovin? What kind of a stupid name is that, Fogle? Are you trying to be an Irish R and B singer? Fogle: I am McLovin. Seth: No, you’re not. No one’s McLovin. McLovin’s never existed, cos that’s a made-up, dumb, fucking fairytale name, *YOU FUCK!*
I've always hated that scene because of how anxiety inducing it is. You're at place with random older sketchy dudes and you have to laugh and play off the vibe in order not get jumped or whatever.
I used to work in a gas station. During the training segment where you learned how to decipher a fake ID, Mclovin's ID popped up on the screen and its flaws were pointed out. The store has almost 3,000 locations Nationwide. And one training program. I nearly shit myself laughing once I comprehended all this.
As a junior in highschool, this is probably my favorite comedy. It holds up insanely well and it’ll go down as much one of the best. It’s absolutely timeless.
The main plot revolves around two friends learning that they have an unconditional love for each other while still being unable to avoid inevitably drifting apart from one another as they grow older that hit so different
SimonTheSaucecerer that scares me dude. I’ve got all my best mates with me right now. I’m terrified of not seeing them again, and missing them too much.
Shopkeeper: “sir did you make this mess?” Fogell: “no...And you should clean this up, someone can really hurt themselves” *shakes his head* Shopkeeper: ”fuck my life”
To me, Superbad is the only teen movie, either drama or comedy, that accurately depicts how teenagers act. I watch something like "13 Reasons Why", and just think, "Teenagers don't act like that! They're stereotypes who sound too scripted!" Even something like "American Pie", which I consider more "realistic", exaggerates them quite a bit for comedy. But Superbad, I completely relate to the characters, from Seth all the way to Steven Glansberg. They don't feel like characters that were carefully scripted to sound witty and composed, they feel like real teenagers. In Superbad, you also see characters that overlap into different social groups. It's an extremely small part of the movie, but to me, it's what really makes it relatable to me. I was a "floater" in high school, much like Seth and Evan. The kind of a person who existed in between social groups, and was loosely weaved into several of them. Fogell is an example of a kid who had no "real" friends, but loosely attached to Evan and Seth. The interactions, the slang, the behavior, and the expectations were all genuine.
"They let you pick any name you want when you get there" "And you landed on McLovin?" "Yeah it was between that and Mohammed" "... why the FUCK would it be between that and mohammed?! " This whole scene was one of the funniest scenes in any comedy for me. It's so relatable and genuine and every group of friends has that Fogel character who can't just pick a blend in name and blend in enough to get the job done, he just has to do different. " one name? who are you, Seal? " " what are you trying to be an Irish R&B singer?" Everything in this movie is pure comedy gold for any teenager/young adult. It is so relatable and naturally funny.
I’ve never been one of those people who naturally memorize entire song lyrics or movie scene dialogues, but when this movie came out, I knew every line of that comedic exchange by heart lmao

i hope that someday Jonah Hill gets an oscar for his acting. A lot of people just label him as a comedic fat guy but he’s actually a really talented actor
He got Oscar nominations for Moneyball and Wolf of Wall Street. He has worked with the Coen brothers, Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese. Anyone who sees him as the funny fat guy has not been paying attention over the last decade.
The joke wasn't mclovin. The joke was the absurdity of fogel thinking Mohammed would've been a good fake name for him, since it's the most common name on the planet. Every good joke has some truth to it.
Part of the reason Superbad still holds up so well is that it doesn't rely on pop culture references or music from that time period to be funny. You can go back and watch American Pie today and it will still be funny, but it feels very dated because the early 90s humor doesn't work as well 20 years later and newer generations can't relate to it. Superbad, however, will be just as funny in 50 years as it was in 2007.
the best part is - it is SO relatable because I've done something similar with a friend of mine once. We were eating in a McDonald's, a hot girl that used to go to our school passed by, we looked at each other and said "Did you see that?" and the other replied "I did. Let's go". She was wearing short jeans shorts and she was THICC. We went out of McDonald's sprinting to catch another glimpse but unfortunately she was gone. So, yeah, I imagine at least one more couple of people also did that, what makes it so good on the movie.
Trying to make moves on someone without knowing that they obviously like you back because you can’t imagine someone actually liking you back - that was me in high school! Very relatable.
I dated a two girls when I was in hs that looked like Emma stone and the girl from queens gambit. No idea how a pulled that off. They we’re both pretty abusive. That’s probably it
My older brother loves to laugh, but has never been interested in comedy films. The more degenerate the humor, the less likely he’ll even consider giving it a chance. I finally convinced him to see this last week since he knows it’s beloved. This man was laughing from start to finish. Then he was blown away by the tone of the ending. His emotional investment in this type of movie is a testament to its relatability and overall quality
I place Hot Fuzz into a completely different category, it's undoubtedly a better film, but it does not make me feel the way Superbad does, in Superbad I feel how I did in highschool during lunch when I was bent over choking on laughter, from a joke with my friends, that keeps getting funnier and funnier every time someone speaks

it was the summer before my senior year & school was about to start so my friends & i all talked about going to see Superbad as our last outing before the final year....i logged onto myspace opening day to see what the plan was & was shocked to see my crew all saw the film at midnight without me! luckily i had the coolest dad -who hadn't been a senior in 20 years- & that very same night we caught the 9:45 pm sold out show....the energy of the theater was immaculate....we laughed so hard we cried. it's one of my fondest memories. simply classic
That ending is very sad in a subtle way if you think about for too long... As stated in the video, it’s truly bittersweet… In fact, I would go so far as to say it’s one of the most bitter sweet endings in the entire genre. We’d all love to think that after Jonah Hill’s character goes down that escalator, and Michael Cera’s character Goes off with his love interest, that they would’ve called each other, and recount their individual tales as soon as they got home… And that’s most likely what those characters would have done. But that division of directions that the ending showed was also meant to represent a division of direction *in their lives* , their opportunities, where they’re headed, and ultimately their friendship as they know it. It’s easy to imagine that they both would have spent the entire summer with their respective love interests, and less time with each other… And with them both headed off to different colleges, it’s easy to think that what we experienced in the film was the last adventure and the last real journey those friends would ever have together. For anyone who has graduated and gone away to college, you really do understand how rapidly things change, and how quickly you can grow apart from people who were such an integral part of your life for so many years. And when I watch the end of the movie, I can’t help but feel as though that final scene really was the beginning of the end. It’s my favorite comedy of all time, as well... and I watch it a few times a year, at least... but I do sometimes skip that last scene when I’m feeling a bit more somber, because it makes me think about the people who I’ve grown apart from. I’m pretty sure they knew that, which is why *immediately* following that scene they just start showing a bunch of drawings of dicks, to kind of distract you from the gravity and reality behind that scene.
Well said, going thru that rn i feel the same exact way, thats definitely a theme that makes this movie timeless, and in a way it get heavier as we go on after graduation because it only get more apparent over the years
Glen Morris it’s a sad reality tho. Most people are lucky if they remain friends with 2 or 3 people from high school. What’s worse is that the same thing happens when you graduate from college. You “new” group of friends all go their separate ways and back to where they’re from, or off to new jobs and places, and slowly, you become less involved with everyone’s individual life, because you’re focusing on your own, as are they.
Nate 1230 for sure the first several times I saw this, I didn’t really process that scene like that... but over a decade has passed, and you’re right, you’re able to relate to the subtle subtext of the scene and the movie as a whole. When I first saw this, I interpreted it as a full comedy. But it wasn’t long before I was able to recognize the tragedy within the comedy. And now, I am able to recognize that Superbad is nearly 50% comedy, and 50% tragedy.
Joe Lo Truglia been an unsung hero\ scene stealer for a couple decades already ... Wet Hot American Summer; I Love You, Man; Here Awhile; Role Models ... Incredible work!
Exactly! Both Superbad and The Inbetweeners are known to realistically capture the high school experience in their respective countries. They don't sugar-coat any of the unsavoury traits of boys that age, but also have a heart behind it that realistically portrays male friendship in all its awkward and repulsive beauty. The US Inbetweeners was probably written by a bunch of out-of-touch boomers who tried to copy a show they don't understand from a culture they don't understand, thinking that high schoolers would like watching it because it has a bunch of sexual references.
Also, now that you brought that up, I just realized that it's a tragedy that a movie was never made where the boys from Superbad and The Inbetweeners meet. Imagine Jay and Seth competing to fuck the same girl, or McLovin getting really pissed at Neil for being comically wrong about a historical fact lmao. Both writing teams working together would've created something truly abhorrent in the greatest possible way.
This movie never really gets old. It’s one of those movies where you laugh at something different each time you do the occasional rewatch. Definitely a classic in my book.
Superbad is the most quotable movie I've ever seen. Every scene is hillarious with amazing dialogue. Evan: "Look at those nipples" Seth: "They look like little baby toes" 😂
Rioeio Kha your judgment on TV in general is dogshit if you don’t think Superbad is good. The writing and subtleties within the show are insanely good for just being a regular teenage comedy
I'm 37 and this is by far my favorite comedy movie. And here's what makes it great: it's relatable to people my age (about the same as the writers) and people way younger 'cause it's truly about teenagers. Not what adults think of teenagers, but genuine teenager issues and insecurities. No matter if you are 45 or 25, this movie is about you back in the days.
Yep. Mid-30s and I love this movie...pretty sure I saw it multiple times in theaters, and everyone I knew liked it (sort-of). It's one of those movies that when it's making its run on mid-range cable, at like 1:35pm on a Sunday, if you see that it's on, you'll abandon all afternoon plans to rewatch (Aliens and Fury Road also high on that list). This is also the exact pitch-perfect Michael Cera...which wound up being a very nary window.
Few years back, got to meet Christopher Mintz-Plasse (AkA McLovin) and Dave Franco who were filming a Funny or Die skit where they were flying a helicopter. Coincidentally enough, I had my fake McLovin ID in my wallet. I asked Christopher to take a pic holding up the ID and he was kind enough to do so. He didn't even know you could buy those ID's on eBay. McLovin for LIFE!
Hot Fuzz is my magnum opus. I can watch it literally over and over and never get bored. Also has to do Edgar Wright absolutely dominating the visual comedy game.
This film is the perfect contrast to everything wrong with most past and modern films about being teenagers. While prior to it the issue was glorifying High School (eg. American Pie), these days it takes it way too seriously (eg. Love Simon). Especially concerning films like Love Simon, the characters didn't act like teenagers at all, they acted like what adults think teenagers are like. They almost seem afraid to allow their teenage characters to act cringy or stupid; like most teenagers are. In Superbad, the guys are supposed to say crude shit and the girls are a lot more awkward, and everyone is confued and make impulsive decisions, but that doesn't mean they can't also care and be serious also. But it isn't over the top either. One thing I also loved is how inconsequential the story is but how important it is to the characters. It doesn't try to speak of deeper or more complex themes, but it feels eventful and important to those involved. When really, it's just about these kids and their last hurrah before college. And isn't that what being a teenager was all about? Finding yourself and believing everything was super important and getting laid and partying was the defining goal, thinking "that girl is out of my league" or "these guys got it all together" but realizing that everyone is really just as awkward and scared as you are? And in the grand scope it really isn't that big of a deal. The end they just end up hanging out at the mall with the girls they like. No huge ending or sex scene or big conclusion to the themes. Just another normal day with a bit of character growth.
I get where you're coming from, but when I watched Love Simon, the modern high school aspect of it was spot on. I've been to three high schools through out my teenage years and it was pretty spot on with how the popular smart kids act like ALL of it is a total big deal. I always saw these types of kids with their iced coffees, Apple laptops, worrying too much about college and acting like if they failed this or that it was the end of all life. They were, in a sense, total yuppies, like in the movie. But hey, that's just how I experienced high school, you probably experienced it differently.
@@spacepopeXIV I can't disagree with you but the issue wasn't the general look or the character's intentions as much they didn't "act" like teenagers. There was really no awkwardness, slang being used, attempt to be cool when really coming off cringy, over exaggerated emotions, and many other actions of teenagers. The best way I can describe it is: it felt like an accurate high school set with accurate teenage ideas, but replace it with confident good looking adults. So I agree there may have been an attenpt for accuracy, do you really think anyone truely acted or looked or felt like they were a teenager? All the characters always seem so perfect and model esque. Compare it to something recently like Cobra Kai, which is an over dramatization, but look how accurate it portrays the teenagers. It has no reservations in making the kids be awkward, unattractive, stutter, say stupid things, act irrationally, be emotional or evasive, etc. Did Love Simon really do that? They all seemed more like college kids who were in high school for some reason Maybe I'm wrong. But the difference btw the 2 is this: In Love Simon they were actual Yuppies while real teenagers would be doing their best to act like Yuppies and probably failing at it.
“Watched that movie at the perfect time” You’ve said it perfectly, it has so much to do with the timing and the stats of mind you’re in when you watch it in the first time
One thing I wish you would have gone into a little more is the fact that Superbad does not reference popular culture as much as many other teen comedies from that era. Now there is nothing wrong with doing that - it can make a movie feel a lot more "real" to have characters reference events, people or any part of popular culture from the time period they are from. But it also limits how well a movie is going to age. The more you reference today's culture the harder it will be for teenagers five, ten or twenty years from now to look at the movie and enjoy it as much as people did when it first came out. With Superbad that really isn't the case. I can't think of any joke that would be totally lost as time progresses and that is what is going to make sure the movie is going to stay as awesome and popular as it has been since its release. Because at the end of the day youth and teenage years haven't changed that much over the last few decades.
They were so glaringly unrealistic and nothing like real LAPD (maybe you need to know the LAPD type). They also had nothing to do with the plot to deserve so many scenes.
I'd been out of school 5 years when this was released, took me right back to memories of those senior years of high school where trying to get your hands on booze is a big deal and if you pull it off it feels like a major score. What has made this movie stand the test of time (beyond the reasons outlined already) is how believable the dialogue sounds- this is a trait of a lot of Judd Apatow's works from the same time period. Like 'Can't Hardly Wait' there's also this sense that there is a whole lot more to these characters (their backstory, notable events) outside what we get to see in this pivotal, yet fleeting moment at the end of their highschool lives. It gives the character this added depth, and you feel as if there could be a whole other movie with these characters and there would be just as many memorable lines/ scenes, without skipping a beat. Somebody commented once on another video that while shows such as 'Skins' or movies like 'Grease' depict what your high school years are meant to be like, a show like 'The Inbetweeners' depicts what your high school years are actually like. I would count 'Superbad' amongst the latter as well. Seth and Evan are not in the popular group, but they're not unbelievably dorky. Jules is clearly one of the more popular girls, but she's not stuck up and unapproachable/ unachievable. We also see her vulnerabilities as well as Becca's. These girls are clearly NOT unattainable for the two boys, even if the boys struggle to realise it. 'Superbad' (like 'Can't Hardly Wait' and 'American Graffiti' takes place over a single 24 hour period, which further gives it a realism and feels less like we're watching an air-brushed, edited narrative and more as if we're living the experience in the moment with the characters. This is a big part of why the movie stays with you and why the ending feels especially poignant. Both the main characters appear to get what they wanted, yet they realise they're losing something in the process. We want to see what happens next, but we don't get that chance.
Mine is Hot Rod too. When we were kids, my brother and I would watch it every week after school. I just watched it on a plane yesterday and it still holds up. Don't let your dad's eat pie!
Hot rod and Talladega nights for me, when I was a kid and would go camping if it would rain I would watch Talladega nights with my dad so its nostalgic for me
I remember I completely lost it at Seth's delivery of the simple question of "What the fuck are you doing?" during the scene where he and Evan were trying to convince Fogel to head into the store to buy the alcohol. The phrase "What the fuck are you doing" is simple in itself and guarantees a small chuckle at most but it was the delivery that made it land
I just watched this for the first time a week ago. I’m a high school sophomore. I can safely say that this movie still holds up perfectly and doesn’t feel like it’s aged a day.
Since I grew up in the UK I resonate with the Inbetweeners more than superbad mostly because the Inbetweeners is slightly more relatible to someone who grew up in the UK. But superbad is still one of the best American comedys of all time.
Inbetweeners is the single best teen comedy ever written hands down, not even British. It's just so fucking relatable and disturbingly realistic, it felt like stories of shit we actually got up to during our teens. Also it's arguably one of the most quotable comedies ever.
10:59 dude, the way you described the film here was actually perfect, like everyone knows the plot but nobody knows how to put it into words, you literally summed it up brilliantly..
For me my favorite comedy would have to be Hot Fuzz. Saw it when it came out in theaters and every time I watch it I can still laugh at damn near every joke. I don't know what it is with British humor but it is just second to known. The movie is just near perfect mixing genres of crime thriller, buddy cop, western and a little bit of horror and in my opinion balances them perfectly. And it's like Super Bad in that the funniest lines are those that aren't suppose to be super memorable, it's just how theyre delivered. Also I love the mystery in the movie of how ridiculous and complex it's "suppose" to be but ends up being nothing more than simple and being petty. Plus the "crusty jugglers" line was just and still is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
Nah it's different. Superbad is a coming of age film that makes comedy out of normal everyday life + a bit more swearing. Scott Pilgrim is a bit more dramatic and relies on nonsense humour and visual comedy, think of it as a live action cartoon. Don't get me wrong I love both movies but the only similarities they have is Michael Cera.
@@raspberrycrowns9494 Both are comedic, both are targeted at young adults, both are very good. What I said and what you said are not mutually exclusive
@@mistertwister2000 well if we're basing the movies off of that comparison then 21 jump street, Mean Girls, School of Rock, The Lego Movie, Austin Powers etc. all give off the same vibe because they're comedies targeted for young adults
I never watched this movie growing up because I was a little kid when this came out, when I was 16 I found it on netflix and it is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen
To be clear, this movie works for people of any age. I'm in my early 50s, so I grew up with John Hughes movies, and Superbad had the same thing the best of those films had as well - real heart and truly, utterly relatable characters whose arcs were ones many of us traveled in our adolescence. No doubt at all, this is a movie I can watch repeatedly and fall in love with all over again each time I do. Outstanding video and commentary. Candace, give him a call! :D
I'm in tenth grade and after watching this movie for the first time with my best in the world last year I can say that it very much resonated with me and others in my age group. RIP Aidan
I love almost every comedy movie that involves Seth Rogen despite his laugh being annoying as hell lol. This is the End, Pineapple Express, Superbad, Sausage Party, The Disaster Artist.
as a sophomore, almost junior now as i’m writing this, it is april 2023. i finally watched this movie yesterday and i really liked it. i can say it’s still pretty funny and relatable to this day still for teenagers and young adults our age. personally i relate to the whole relationships and lacking confidence aspects of the movie in ways. i think it’s a great movie i’ll definitely show superbad to a few of my friends and rewatch it with them.
40 year old virgin? Wow and those are your favorite movies of all time? That’s sad, watch an actual movie, I loved this movie but get some class, and the person below me is just plain wrong👇🏾
today is the first time i saw it (at the age of 23, wtf?) and man, it brought back sooo many nostalgic feelings associated with growing up. Everything: fake id's, stress of buying alcohol, weird attempts to have drunk sex, vibing with stoners, realising your true love for a friend and much more (except for partying with cops) resonated with me so much and helped relive those crazy moments once again. At the midpoint i was really waiting for the actual party to start, but then the credits rolled i realised that it is not that type of movie and i am really looking forward to seeing it again in a couple of months to just relax and roll with the story
I’m 20 now and I watched the movie for the first when in my senior year of high school when I was 17 and I can tell you the movie still holds up. Seeing the ending knowing that ultimately the same will happen to me and my friends really got me
I’m in my junior year of high school, none of the party situations of this movie have ever really occurred to me, but Micheal Cera’s character is the most relatable and realistic portrayal of a teen I’ve ever seen in a movie

To me, Superbad is the only teen movie, either drama or comedy, that accurately depicts how teenagers act. I watch something like "13 Reasons Why", and just think, "Teenagers don't act like that! They're stereotypes who sound too scripted!" Even something like "American Pie", which I consider more "realistic", exaggerates them quite a bit for comedy. But Superbad, I completely relate to the characters, from Seth all the way to Steven Glansberg. They don't feel like characters that were carefully scripted to sound witty and composed, they feel like real teenagers. In Superbad, you also see characters that overlap into different social groups. It's an extremely small part of the movie, but to me, it's what really makes it relatable to me. I was a "floater" in high school, much like Seth and Evan. The kind of a person who existed in between social groups, and was loosely weaved into several of them. Fogell is an example of a kid who had no "real" friends, but loosely attached to Evan and Seth. The interactions, the slang, the behavior, and the expectations were all genuine.

For me the best teenagers comedies are American Pie and Superbad.
I was Fogal, now I'm Mc'Lovin lol.
You should really watch the U.K. Version of the Ibetweeners
What about Mr. Spider-Man Homecoming?
"They let you pick any name you want when you get there"
"And you landed on McLovin?"
"Yeah it was between that and Mohammed"
"... why the FUCK would it be between that and mohammed?! "
This whole scene was one of the funniest scenes in any comedy for me. It's so relatable and genuine and every group of friends has that Fogel character who can't just pick a blend in name and blend in enough to get the job done, he just has to do different.
" one name? who are you, Seal? "
" what are you trying to be an Irish R&B singer?"
Everything in this movie is pure comedy gold for any teenager/young adult. It is so relatable and naturally funny.
That's a dumb fuckin fairytale name you FUCK
I’ve never been one of those people who naturally memorize entire song lyrics or movie scene dialogues, but when this movie came out, I knew every line of that comedic exchange by heart lmao

i hope that someday Jonah Hill gets an oscar for his acting. A lot of people just label him as a comedic fat guy but he’s actually a really talented actor
I think he’s kinda broken out of that a little but, but not entirely
He got Oscar nominations for Moneyball and Wolf of Wall Street. He has worked with the Coen brothers, Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese. Anyone who sees him as the funny fat guy has not been paying attention over the last decade.
He was absolutely fantastic in The Wolf of Wallstreet

"The most quotable scenes are never the funniest."

Except it is funny.

> most quotable scene =/= best scene
The joke wasn't mclovin. The joke was the absurdity of fogel thinking Mohammed would've been a good fake name for him, since it's the most common name on the planet. Every good joke has some truth to it.
Part of the reason Superbad still holds up so well is that it doesn't rely on pop culture references or music from that time period to be funny. You can go back and watch American Pie today and it will still be funny, but it feels very dated because the early 90s humor doesn't work as well 20 years later and newer generations can't relate to it. Superbad, however, will be just as funny in 50 years as it was in 2007.
true, superbad also uses 70'ies funk music^^
“I gotta catch a glimpse of these warlocks” and then them sprinting away is maybe the funniest part of any comedy movie I’ve ever seen
I can’t think of anyone who runs more iconically hilarious than Michael Cera or Jonah Hill
the best part is - it is SO relatable because I've done something similar with a friend of mine once. We were eating in a McDonald's, a hot girl that used to go to our school passed by, we looked at each other and said "Did you see that?" and the other replied "I did. Let's go". She was wearing short jeans shorts and she was THICC. We went out of McDonald's sprinting to catch another glimpse but unfortunately she was gone.
So, yeah, I imagine at least one more couple of people also did that, what makes it so good on the movie.
It's such a loser move but so funny

My older brother loves to laugh, but has never been interested in comedy films. The more degenerate the humor, the less likely he’ll even consider giving it a chance. I finally convinced him to see this last week since he knows it’s beloved. This man was laughing from start to finish. Then he was blown away by the tone of the ending.

This is how I feel about Hot Fuzz. It gets better every time I see it.
Hot Fuzz is quality British comedy. Simon peggs a beast
I place Hot Fuzz into a completely different category, it's undoubtedly a better film, but it does not make me feel the way Superbad does, in Superbad I feel how I did in highschool during lunch when I was bent over choking on laughter, from a joke with my friends, that keeps getting funnier and funnier every time someone speaks
The human statue scene in that movie gets me every time. I love how the old guy is legitimately upset about it

Superbad is genuinely the best comedy of all time, the support and love for it is like a cult movie but millions of people.
Interesting how everyone seems to instantly forget about everything Monty Python did when it comes to teenage comedy.
Ray Baker mmmmmmm
Saying Superbad is the best comedy of all time shows how fucking dumb you are, it's definitely a great comedy but best of all time is nonsense.
the only american comdies worth watching are those with leslie nielsen
Superbad is sh1t
The getting a glimpse of these Warlocks scene is possibly my favourite. The seriousness on their faces is what does it.
Let’s make a move
That ending is very sad in a subtle way if you think about for too long...
As stated in the video, it’s truly bittersweet… In fact, I would go so far as to say it’s one of the most bitter sweet endings in the entire genre.
We’d all love to think that after Jonah Hill’s character goes down that escalator, and Michael Cera’s character Goes off with his love interest, that they would’ve called each other, and recount their individual tales as soon as they got home… And that’s most likely what those characters would have done.
But that division of directions that the ending showed was also meant to represent a division of direction *in their lives* , their opportunities, where they’re headed, and ultimately their friendship as they know it.
It’s easy to imagine that they both would have spent the entire summer with their respective love interests, and less time with each other… And with them both headed off to different colleges, it’s easy to think that what we experienced in the film was the last adventure and the last real journey those friends would ever have together.
For anyone who has graduated and gone away to college, you really do understand how rapidly things change, and how quickly you can grow apart from people who were such an integral part of your life for so many years.
And when I watch the end of the movie, I can’t help but feel as though that final scene really was the beginning of the end.
It’s my favorite comedy of all time, as well... and I watch it a few times a year, at least... but I do sometimes skip that last scene when I’m feeling a bit more somber, because it makes me think about the people who I’ve grown apart from.
I’m pretty sure they knew that, which is why *immediately* following that scene they just start showing a bunch of drawings of dicks, to kind of distract you from the gravity and reality behind that scene.
yeah
Well said, going thru that rn i feel the same exact way, thats definitely a theme that makes this movie timeless, and in a way it get heavier as we go on after graduation because it only get more apparent over the years
i hate thinking of losing all my highschool friends when i graduate
Glen Morris it’s a sad reality tho. Most people are lucky if they remain friends with 2 or 3 people from high school.
What’s worse is that the same thing happens when you graduate from college. You “new” group of friends all go their separate ways and back to where they’re from, or off to new jobs and places, and slowly, you become less involved with everyone’s individual life, because you’re focusing on your own, as are they.
Nate 1230 for sure the first several times I saw this, I didn’t really process that scene like that... but over a decade has passed, and you’re right, you’re able to relate to the subtle subtext of the scene and the movie as a whole.
When I first saw this, I interpreted it as a full comedy.
But it wasn’t long before I was able to recognize the tragedy within the comedy. And now, I am able to recognize that Superbad is nearly 50% comedy, and 50% tragedy.
the most underrated character in this movie for me was Francis the driver. He made me laugh so hard in his small amount of screentime
Absolutely, and anytime I have an awkward pause with younger people. "so you guys got Myspace, err..."

Superbad is what the US Inbetweeners should've been like
Never thought Jar Jar Binks would say something actually worth listening to
I used yo hate you Jar Jar, now I respect you
Man the US version is soo shit
Exactly! Both Superbad and The Inbetweeners are known to realistically capture the high school experience in their respective countries. They don't sugar-coat any of the unsavoury traits of boys that age, but also have a heart behind it that realistically portrays male friendship in all its awkward and repulsive beauty. The US Inbetweeners was probably written by a bunch of out-of-touch boomers who tried to copy a show they don't understand from a culture they don't understand, thinking that high schoolers would like watching it because it has a bunch of sexual references.
Also, now that you brought that up, I just realized that it's a tragedy that a movie was never made where the boys from Superbad and The Inbetweeners meet. Imagine Jay and Seth competing to fuck the same girl, or McLovin getting really pissed at Neil for being comically wrong about a historical fact lmao. Both writing teams working together would've created something truly abhorrent in the greatest possible way.
This movie never really gets old. It’s one of those movies where you laugh at something different each time you do the occasional rewatch. Definitely a classic in my book.
The best line of the movie for me: "You're not supposed to park in the faculty lot."
It’s not like ur staff
I mean- cause you know it’s staff
*”I KNOW THAT FAGELL, I KNOW THAT.”*
The worst line is watching Superbad is illegal
Superbad is the most quotable movie I've ever seen. Every scene is hillarious with amazing dialogue.

Seth: "They look like little baby toes" 😂
No its not, it's full of annoying and dumb shit
Rioeio Kha Get. Out.

@@briantaylorcloe7725 Bro i didn't notice that even after watching it more than 10 times
I'm 37 and this is by far my favorite comedy movie. And here's what makes it great: it's relatable to people my age (about the same as the writers) and people way younger 'cause it's truly about teenagers. Not what adults think of teenagers, but genuine teenager issues and insecurities. No matter if you are 45 or 25, this movie is about you back in the days.
Yep. Mid-30s and I love this movie...pretty sure I saw it multiple times in theaters, and everyone I knew liked it (sort-of). It's one of those movies that when it's making its run on mid-range cable, at like 1:35pm on a Sunday, if you see that it's on, you'll abandon all afternoon plans to rewatch (Aliens and Fury Road also high on that list).
This is also the exact pitch-perfect Michael Cera...which wound up being a very nary window.

What I really love about Superbad is that the studio didn’t ruin the legacy with sequels like what happened with The Hangover and American Pie.
It ended. I think Seth was wise to have the story be tight enough that no sequel, or question if a sequel, was needed
This film is the perfect contrast to everything wrong with most past and modern films about being teenagers. While prior to it the issue was glorifying High School (eg. American Pie), these days it takes it way too seriously (eg. Love Simon).
Especially concerning films like Love Simon, the characters didn't act like teenagers at all, they acted like what adults think teenagers are like. They almost seem afraid to allow their teenage characters to act cringy or stupid; like most teenagers are.
In Superbad, the guys are supposed to say crude shit and the girls are a lot more awkward, and everyone is confued and make impulsive decisions, but that doesn't mean they can't also care and be serious also. But it isn't over the top either.
One thing I also loved is how inconsequential the story is but how important it is to the characters. It doesn't try to speak of deeper or more complex themes, but it feels eventful and important to those involved. When really, it's just about these kids and their last hurrah before college.
And isn't that what being a teenager was all about? Finding yourself and believing everything was super important and getting laid and partying was the defining goal, thinking "that girl is out of my league" or "these guys got it all together" but realizing that everyone is really just as awkward and scared as you are?
And in the grand scope it really isn't that big of a deal. The end they just end up hanging out at the mall with the girls they like. No huge ending or sex scene or big conclusion to the themes. Just another normal day with a bit of character growth.
This comment is perfection
@@conorfitzpatrick6406 Glad you agree 😁
I get where you're coming from, but when I watched Love Simon, the modern high school aspect of it was spot on. I've been to three high schools through out my teenage years and it was pretty spot on with how the popular smart kids act like ALL of it is a total big deal. I always saw these types of kids with their iced coffees, Apple laptops, worrying too much about college and acting like if they failed this or that it was the end of all life. They were, in a sense, total yuppies, like in the movie. But hey, that's just how I experienced high school, you probably experienced it differently.
@@spacepopeXIV I can't disagree with you but the issue wasn't the general look or the character's intentions as much they didn't "act" like teenagers.
There was really no awkwardness, slang being used, attempt to be cool when really coming off cringy, over exaggerated emotions, and many other actions of teenagers. The best way I can describe it is: it felt like an accurate high school set with accurate teenage ideas, but replace it with confident good looking adults.
So I agree there may have been an attenpt for accuracy, do you really think anyone truely acted or looked or felt like they were a teenager? All the characters always seem so perfect and model esque.
Compare it to something recently like Cobra Kai, which is an over dramatization, but look how accurate it portrays the teenagers. It has no reservations in making the kids be awkward, unattractive, stutter, say stupid things, act irrationally, be emotional or evasive, etc.
Did Love Simon really do that? They all seemed more like college kids who were in high school for some reason
Maybe I'm wrong. But the difference btw the 2 is this: In Love Simon they were actual Yuppies while real teenagers would be doing their best to act like Yuppies and probably failing at it.
@@conorfitzpatrick6406 no
“Watched that movie at the perfect time” You’ve said it perfectly, it has so much to do with the timing and the stats of mind you’re in when you watch it in the first time
“we could be that mistake!”
I love that line
The mclovin scene alone makes this a masterpiece.
One thing I wish you would have gone into a little more is the fact that Superbad does not reference popular culture as much as many other teen comedies from that era.
Now there is nothing wrong with doing that - it can make a movie feel a lot more "real" to have characters reference events, people or any part of popular culture from the time period they are from.
But it also limits how well a movie is going to age. The more you reference today's culture the harder it will be for teenagers five, ten or twenty years from now to look at the movie and enjoy it as much as people did when it first came out.
With Superbad that really isn't the case. I can't think of any joke that would be totally lost as time progresses and that is what is going to make sure the movie is going to stay as awesome and popular as it has been since its release. Because at the end of the day youth and teenage years haven't changed that much over the last few decades.

@@micahgreentree6285 naah they were funny af
They were so glaringly unrealistic and nothing like real LAPD (maybe you need to know the LAPD type). They also had nothing to do with the plot to deserve so many scenes.
Leon Jimenez it-it’s a comedy they were funny and pushed the McLovin storyline.
This is the greatest comedy movie, high school senior, still holds up and I think it always will
I'd been out of school 5 years when this was released, took me right back to memories of those senior years of high school where trying to get your hands on booze is a big deal and if you pull it off it feels like a major score. What has made this movie stand the test of time (beyond the reasons outlined already) is how believable the dialogue sounds- this is a trait of a lot of Judd Apatow's works from the same time period. Like 'Can't Hardly Wait' there's also this sense that there is a whole lot more to these characters (their backstory, notable events) outside what we get to see in this pivotal, yet fleeting moment at the end of their highschool lives. It gives the character this added depth, and you feel as if there could be a whole other movie with these characters and there would be just as many memorable lines/ scenes, without skipping a beat.
Somebody commented once on another video that while shows such as 'Skins' or movies like 'Grease' depict what your high school years are meant to be like, a show like 'The Inbetweeners' depicts what your high school years are actually like. I would count 'Superbad' amongst the latter as well. Seth and Evan are not in the popular group, but they're not unbelievably dorky. Jules is clearly one of the more popular girls, but she's not stuck up and unapproachable/ unachievable. We also see her vulnerabilities as well as Becca's. These girls are clearly NOT unattainable for the two boys, even if the boys struggle to realise it.
'Superbad' (like 'Can't Hardly Wait' and 'American Graffiti' takes place over a single 24 hour period, which further gives it a realism and feels less like we're watching an air-brushed, edited narrative and more as if we're living the experience in the moment with the characters. This is a big part of why the movie stays with you and why the ending feels especially poignant. Both the main characters appear to get what they wanted, yet they realise they're losing something in the process. We want to see what happens next, but we don't get that chance.
Tremendous comment

Mine is Hot Rod too. When we were kids, my brother and I would watch it every week after school. I just watched it on a plane yesterday and it still holds up. Don't let your dad's eat pie!
Hot rod and Talladega nights for me, when I was a kid and would go camping if it would rain I would watch Talladega nights with my dad so its nostalgic for me
Napoleon dynamite for me
this movie gave of us the birth of the legendary mclovin
I remember I completely lost it at Seth's delivery of the simple question of "What the fuck are you doing?" during the scene where he and Evan were trying to convince Fogel to head into the store to buy the alcohol. The phrase "What the fuck are you doing" is simple in itself and guarantees a small chuckle at most but it was the delivery that made it land
I just watched this for the first time a week ago. I’m a high school sophomore. I can safely say that this movie still holds up perfectly and doesn’t feel like it’s aged a day.

Inbetweeners is the single best teen comedy ever written hands down, not even British. It's just so fucking relatable and disturbingly realistic, it felt like stories of shit we actually got up to during our teens. Also it's arguably one of the most quotable comedies ever.
Someone tried to convince me that American Pie was better than Superbad, and I legit laughed out loud
Mclovin and the cops alone is better
10:59 dude, the way you described the film here was actually perfect, like everyone knows the plot but nobody knows how to put it into words, you literally summed it up brilliantly..
This video is so thorough, McLovin would be proud
Can we all just talk about how much of a *GOD MICHAEL CERA IS*
Was*
he just plays the same character in pretty much everything he does. He's good at being just an awkward kid, thats it.
Totally agree, he is just so good.. Juno is my favourite comedy and it works only because of him
He's relatable
Michael Lopez Ryan Reynolds plays the same character in all his movies.
I watched Superbad last year when I was a senior and I can confirm it is still one of the most legendary movies I’ve ever seen
For me my favorite comedy would have to be Hot Fuzz. Saw it when it came out in theaters and every time I watch it I can still laugh at damn near every joke. I don't know what it is with British humor but it is just second to known. The movie is just near perfect mixing genres of crime thriller, buddy cop, western and a little bit of horror and in my opinion balances them perfectly. And it's like Super Bad in that the funniest lines are those that aren't suppose to be super memorable, it's just how theyre delivered. Also I love the mystery in the movie of how ridiculous and complex it's "suppose" to be but ends up being nothing more than simple and being petty. Plus the "crusty jugglers" line was just and still is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
I love Edgar Wright so much, I wish he had more creative Freedom with Ant Man and they didn't boot him.
@@josharntt They booted him?
It's high time you realized that.
@@josharntt Yeah just imagine what Ant Man could have been if he directed it. I think we could have had another Thor Ragnorok
Superbad and Scott Pilgrim have the ultimate teen comedy vibe
Nah it's different. Superbad is a coming of age film that makes comedy out of normal everyday life + a bit more swearing. Scott Pilgrim is a bit more dramatic and relies on nonsense humour and visual comedy, think of it as a live action cartoon. Don't get me wrong I love both movies but the only similarities they have is Michael Cera.

Both are comedic, both are targeted at young adults, both are very good.
What I said and what you said are not mutually exclusive
@@mistertwister2000 well if we're basing the movies off of that comparison then 21 jump street, Mean Girls, School of Rock, The Lego Movie, Austin Powers etc. all give off the same vibe because they're comedies targeted for young adults
Never watched scott pilgrim
Superbad is way different, Scott pilgrim was too eccentric. Honestly Scott pilgrim is only funny to people with adhd
I can confirm this movie is a master piece. A classic
I watced it multiple times and still funny as fvck
I’m 15, this film is definitely still relevant. All my friends think I look like Mclovin and I only realised it today.
"He's a freak, he's the fastest kid alive!" Still makes me laugh just how he delivers it.
Scott pilgrim vs the world next please 😁
One of my favs, that movie is absolutely jam-packed with jokes. I laugh at something new every time I watch it
YES PLEASE DO SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD :DDDDD!!!!!
good movie
Please do Scott Pilgrim you curly haired fuck
He was planning a video for the comic a while ago that I've been needing in my life, but he left it on hold
I still can't believe how much this movie reminds me of high school (graduated a couple months before it came out). It's easily in my top 3 comedies.
I never watched this movie growing up because I was a little kid when this came out, when I was 16 I found it on netflix and it is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen
To be clear, this movie works for people of any age. I'm in my early 50s, so I grew up with John Hughes movies, and Superbad had the same thing the best of those films had as well - real heart and truly, utterly relatable characters whose arcs were ones many of us traveled in our adolescence. No doubt at all, this is a movie I can watch repeatedly and fall in love with all over again each time I do.
Outstanding video and commentary. Candace, give him a call! :D
I'm in tenth grade and after watching this movie for the first time with my best in the world last year I can say that it very much resonated with me and others in my age group.
RIP Aidan
I love almost every comedy movie that involves Seth Rogen despite his laugh being annoying as hell lol. This is the End, Pineapple Express, Superbad, Sausage Party, The Disaster Artist.
What about The Interview?
Maty Muno lol The Interview had some funny moments but no so much lol moments like the other movies.
Have you seen Observe and Report? Probably my favorite of his
Oh shit yes! Neighbors is one of favorites as well!
I actually never seen Observe and Report but I will be checking it out as soon as possible.
as a sophomore, almost junior now as i’m writing this, it is april 2023. i finally watched this movie yesterday and i really liked it. i can say it’s still pretty funny and relatable to this day still for teenagers and young adults our age. personally i relate to the whole relationships and lacking confidence aspects of the movie in ways. i think it’s a great movie i’ll definitely show superbad to a few of my friends and rewatch it with them.
I know someone who looks like mclovin and its amazing
Monjerianizlum same
Same !
Monjerianizlum i know someone who looks like jimmys brother
Same but he’s more like the mini version
me
Scott pilgrim and this movie are 2 of my all time favs
40 year old virgin? Wow and those are your favorite movies of all time? That’s sad, watch an actual movie, I loved this movie but get some class, and the person below me is just plain wrong👇🏾
@@bryant4310 Ha My MoViE Is SmArTeR tHeN yOuR mOvIe HeHe
I'm the exact same!
@@bryant4310 who asked. your opinion is irrelevant
@@ancheta650 you could say the same thing about every post, dummy 😏
today is the first time i saw it (at the age of 23, wtf?) and man, it brought back sooo many nostalgic feelings associated with growing up. Everything: fake id's, stress of buying alcohol, weird attempts to have drunk sex, vibing with stoners, realising your true love for a friend and much more (except for partying with cops) resonated with me so much and helped relive those crazy moments once again. At the midpoint i was really waiting for the actual party to start, but then the credits rolled i realised that it is not that type of movie and i am really looking forward to seeing it again in a couple of months to just relax and roll with the story
I’m 20 now and I watched the movie for the first when in my senior year of high school when I was 17 and I can tell you the movie still holds up. Seeing the ending knowing that ultimately the same will happen to me and my friends really got me
“What am I supposed to eat lunch alone like I’m fucking Steven Glansburg?”😭
“What am I supposed to eat lunch alone like I’m fucking Steven Glansburg?” 😭
I’m in my junior year of high school, none of the party situations of this movie have ever really occurred to me, but Micheal Cera’s character is the most relatable and realistic portrayal of a teen I’ve ever seen in a movie
As a high-school student I can confirm that the movie still resonates the same with this generation
When the film finished and the credits rolled I just didn’t want it to end I just was thinking just follow the characters around in the shopping mall
