nobody with talent/comedic chops writes them

Austin powers was a satire.
Movies like Austin Powers fail because they're not satire, just shitty memeing.
Jacob Reed
People don't take them as satire.
David Bennett
Humor seems old-hat
Also I didn't realize it until now but Austin Powers was one of those parody movies. I didn't recognise it as such because it wasn't god awful like all the others

9/11

They would probably say it promotes rape culture and female objectification today and won't understand it's a satire of 60s swinger culture.
Leo Young
AP4 when?
Zachary Morgan
Because the market wasn't saturated and it actually had a plot unlike the others ones which were a bunch of shitty slits thrown together
Ryan Perez
The general populace is not as stupid as it was back then.
Alexander Flores
Because James Bond movies stopped being campy and fun due to satire and decided to be "gritty and realistic" in response to this.
You can't parody something dull and grey like modern Bond movies, and the Austin Powers universe doesn't work on its own.
Plus Myers is fat now.
Logan Edwards
people turned into braindead faggots. that's why capeshit is so successful
Bentley Perez
Superhero Movie is exceptionally better than the other "_____ Movie" films.
Except Scary of course.

All of its jokes will offend some demographic today.

Yes. Only 160+IQ intellectuals like myself are capable of understanding the subtle humour of Austin Powers

They're too raunchy, no one likes R rated comedies anymore
Lucas Bailey
the language in austin powers is not raunchy at all
Ethan Scott
>Sextapussy
>In Her Majesty
>Bushraker
>No One Shags Forever
Wyatt Bailey
Not the language but the visual gags. Pissing in someone's mouth?
Ryan Perez
They pretty much went full degenerate.
>OMG SHIT IN MY ASS
>OMG ITS SHOOTING OUT LIKE A VOLCANO
>OH FUCK MY MOTHER IN LAW JUST WALKED IN
>HAHAHA THE BRAZILIAN FART PORN IS STILL PLAYING
>OH SHIT THE ACID IS KICKING IN
>NO DOG DONT LICK THAT
There was none of this pre 2000. American Pie seems so PG13 compared to R rated movies now
