Is Superbad The GOAT Teen Comedy

Can’t think of anything off the top of my head that can beat it

Nah, it’s Euro Trip. Cuz Scottie Doesn’t Know.

Yes. i think it's the best comedy of the 2000s. Not sure if thats an unpopular opinion or not.

It's actually Not Another Teen Movie.
Because it cuts through the tribalism of generational bias.
I mean I know people who hate Superbad because it's not on the same level as teen 80s comedy. .And there are people who dislike Breakfast Club or Fast Times...(I don't know why)

You’ll probably catch a bunch of downvotes because you asked if it’s “tGOAT,” but it’s easily one of my favorites, and it always kills me. Michael Cera especially. His sort of quiet brand of humor in it is just perfect. He has so many toss away lines that crack me up just because of the way he delivers them.

Did you make this b/c OML is back?

I did a rewatch of SB recently and it still cracks me up. I think it's the GOAT of the raunchy teen movies.
Can't Hardly Wait is up there too, of the cleaner variety

I didn't get the appeal.
Loved Can't Hardly Wait, loved EuroTrip, loved Napoleon Dynamite, loved Not Another Teen Movie. Superbad would be playing for 5th, at best,and that's just in the 2000s.
ETA - in no way would it ever crack the top 10 for GOAT in all decades, and I don't count The Breakfast Club as a comedy. It has comedic elements/moments, but it's nothing like Highes' other work.
There's a case to be made for Sixteen Candles, Ridgemont High and even Weird Science, but I'd say GOAT IS Ferris Bueller.

I’m not sure about GOAT status but it’s a fricking hilarious movie.
Posted on 5/3/24 at 6:57 am to dawgfan24348
All time? I dunno. That’s hard because each generation will typically favor the one that came out in their time.
The 80s had the John Hughes stuff.
The 90s had American Pie
The 00s had Superbad
Is there even anything to list for the 10s and 20s so far?

I might be off time wise but 21 jump Street was one of the funniest movies I saw at the movies

For my generation, graduating high school in 2007.. heading off to college that august superbad came out… it’s a core memory for me
I’ve never heard a theater laugh constantly for 2 straight hours

I think it all depends on the time period that the viewer was a teen in and/or the environment that they grew up in.
I was a teen in the early 2000s and a sophomore in college when Superbad came out so it’s definitely up there for me. But I also grew up in a small rural town where the events of Dazed and Confused were a “movied up” version of our typical Friday and Saturday nights, so I hold it up close to GOAT status too.
My personal top 5 in no particular order would probably be:
Superbad
Dazed and Confused
10 Things I Hate About You
Varsity Blues
Napoleon Dynamite
HM and could probably make the list on any particular day I’m asked to name a top 5:
American Pie
Breakfast Club
Fast Times
Not Another Teen Movie.

Maybe greatest of its decade, not all time.

Superbad and Can't Hardly Wait are tied for the GOAT teen comedies.
Both represented what HS was like at their respective times.

I watched Superbad for the first time in years last weekend and it was absolutely HILARIOUS still. Holds up well.
It's up there for Teen-esque comedy movies, but calling it THE GOAT might be hard for me. I wouldn't fault someone who did though. My sides hurt whenever I watch this movie.

That depends on if you consider
Animal House and PCU as teen comedies or not. Those two alone would be among the best on any of these listed

Save for the cops, it’s extremely accurate to growing up in the cellphone/early internet era and before the smartphone.
I do remember one of my high school girlfriends (non-dating) getting breast reduction over the summer and when finding out saying “That’s like smacking God across the face” and my best friend responding “She had back problems dude. Besides she’s in the best shape of her life and they shaped her boobs to be perkier than ever.” I then said that I wanted to see them.
