re: Is Superbad The GOAT Teen Comedy

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.
