i'm surprised most of you didn't like Super Troopers; dunno if I'm proud to say this, but it is more or less the comedy of my generation (mid-20's); pretty much everyone I went to high school or college with can recite nearly every line, I mean there are a lot of ridiculously funny scenes in that movie.
I wonder whatever became of those guys; Club Dread was a neat idea but sucked as a movie, Beerfest was pretty good but really half-baked, never saw anything else

i love super troopers
club dread was such a missed opportunity, all the jimmy buffet stuff was so funny then they felt like they had to go thru the motions of all the horror movie shit :(

i didn't know there were non-critic types out there who actually didn't like it

Super Troopers was hilarious

I never saw Club Dread, but I keep tabs on the Broken Lizard guys hoping that some day they'll reach the level they hit with Super Troopers.
I even watched Slammin' Salmon on tv, sigh.

that opening sequence is my favorite part of the movie. there's not enough comedies like Super Troopers at the moment, which are over the top enough to satisfy those of us who want to see screwball shit, but grounded enough, not overtly bordering-on-Apatow levels (not that I dislike Apatow, but it'd be nice to have an alternative choice to that school of comedy these days).

meow.
― Mordy, Thursday, 21 April 2011 22:41 (thirteen years ago) link
xp that's my thoughts exactly; that's why I like it so much better than movies like 40 YO Virgin, Knocked Up, etc...there's really no heart, not really too much plot, just a bunch of jokes, most of which land. I like the opening scene plenty but everything with the German couple was awesome, plus I always thought every scene with Farva was great. Also, every character says "fuck it" at least once. I don't know if anyone else noticed.

super troopers is great, I believe I have expressed my love for it on ilx before
― dayo, Thursday, 21 April 2011 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
xpost don't get me wrong, I love a lot Apatow movies, but I don't like it when every screwball comedy thinks it has to be that raunchy these days, I like stuff like Super Troopers that toes the middle a bit.

Slammin' Salmon is their 2nd best movie imo, but it's obv a distant 2nd

apparently they're actually doing a Super Troopers sequel now? i kinda applaud them for trying to do other movies and often playing completely different kinds of characters from one movie to the next, but it really does feel like they hit on their one really solid formula with that movie and there's no shame in returning to it.

Beerfest disappointed me because it seems like they had trouble pacing it. All the skits in ST really worked because they had the time to.

Super Trooper is great, love it. Haven't watched Slammin Salmon yet, kind of used to being underwhelmed by them these days. But damn, yeah Super Troopers is all kinds of goodness..(Also Jay Chanrasekar in Jackass 2 in the Terrorist Taxi was awesome).
― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 22 April 2011 05:43 (thirteen years ago) link
xp Yeah I felt like they never really knew where they were going, but for all that it was still good...I could never tell if it was a parody of all the other dumb comedies where groups of friends team up to win some competition, or if it just was one of them
the Terrorist Taxi thing was so classic, I mean not to really praise that movie too much but the idea was so brilliant, especially because you think the guy in the trunk literally has to be fearing for his life

otm about Beerfest. It had some definite great scenes, but as a whole it just doesn't tie together.

Bargen obv
I recently saw this comedy and only one scene made me pc police actively angry but not so egregiously so that I remember it (eg compare just the TRAILER of Ted 2 which has made me seethe the 3x I have seen it)also I remember laughing at some scenes but not what those scenes wereso I'm not sure if this is praise or not

FUNNY????

2 of the 5 guys are now doing a show called Tacoma FD, it is EXACTLY Super Troopers: the TV show except they now work for the fire department and the other dudes are replaced with more muscular dudes
indeed it is quite dumb but it at least knows its dumb which is why it makes me laugh more than Brooklyn Nine Nine

lol did nobody else see the sequel? I mean it was bad enough that I left 40% of the way through, but....wondered if anybody else got through it.
recycling jokes from the first one was the worst ("glittering ANNNND")
― fentanyl young (Neanderthal), Thursday, 19 January 2023 02:59 (one year ago) link
no but I saw the show they did for TruTV and its okay. its kind of Super Troopers: the series but they're firemen instead. the first episode has them pissing into jugs and honestly it's a bit surreal to see a newer show use that kind of humor. anyway I've only seen a handful but half of them were surprisingly decent and the other half utterly terrible. kinda like modern Simpsons actually
