Is Superbad The GOAT Teen Comedy

I think it depends on when you were born. It's not my GOAT teen comedy, but it's definitely in the pantheon with the other classics though.

American Pie
Porky's
Superbad
Not Another Teen Movie
Road Trip
Can't Hardly Wait
Van Wilder
Fast Times
Dazed and Confused
16 Candles
Ferris Bueller
Revenge of the Nerds
Varsity Blues
Clueless


Man, it's crazy how many of those are from late 90s - early 00s. What a great era for comedies.

it obviously does, agreed. i was like 16 when superbad came out. it is by far the movie we still quote and know the most. it's a clear number 1 for my age group. the quest to get alcohol and get to a party on a friday night is an ageless plot.

others in contention for us would be not another teen movie, wedding crashers, anchorman, stepbrothers (probably tier below).

ive seen all the "classics" from every era and the ones from my era, i find the funniest (no shite). i really honestly do enjoy and appreciate everything from animal house to revenge of the nerds to dazed and confused (love this movie, in particular, but dont find it remotely close comedy wise) to can't hardly wait to american pie.

my general outlook is that a lot of those are great movies and probably better movies, but they aren't remotely close to as funny.

Yeah, I love Superbad, but I graduated hs in 99 - American Pie will always be at the top of the list for me.

Can't Hardly Wait is another for that time is great to me.

This statement is absolutely true but the answer is still Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

good list. the bolded ones in particular are like super core memories for me from high school / college / post college haze

i'd add Wedding Crashers as a great post-college era comedy
