Why do movies like Austin Powers not work anymore?
nobody with talent/comedic chops writes them
>>83292239
Austin powers was a satire.
Movies like Austin Powers fail because they're not satire, just shitty memeing.
People don't take them as satire.
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

They would probably say it promotes rape culture and female objectification today and won't understand it's a satire of 60s swinger culture.
AP4 when?

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

The general populace is not as stupid as it was back then.

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.

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

Not the language but the visual gags. Pissing in someone's mouth?
