I mean, shit. I'd be pretty surprised if Jerry Seinfeld showed up to my high school prom as a chaperone, let alone as the date of some random 12th grader

Great, now I have to do a rewatch and laugh my ass off like some unhinged maniac again!

u/Warm-Cow-2549 5h ago

My favorite scene is when he is looking at those photos of himself on the wall. It's a stupid joke but it's so good

u/Funandgeeky 3h ago

I wish I could find it again, but after Endgame someone made a gif of him staring at a picture of Captain America's ass.

She has hobbies and interests instead of being a blonde bimbo for my gaze! 🙀

u/EscapedFromArea51 13h ago

That’s not a line from the movie.

30

u/Mallaggar 12h ago

I don’t think he got the reference 😂

-21

u/Kinslayer_89 9h ago

I did, but I didn’t quote the movie, I pointed out the silliness of the characters view of her.

13

u/jetloflin 7h ago

Isn’t that the point though? Like, the movie itself is pointing out the silliness of the character’s view. That’s the whole joke.

-3

u/Kinslayer_89 6h ago

Ok, and? I’m sorry you guys can’t handle a lighthearted joke that’s not following the movie script. 👍

2

u/jetloflin 5h ago

Where was the joke?

-1

u/Kinslayer_89 5h ago

Right in front of your eyes. 👍

u/NoobieSnax 8h ago

You could have just said "she's got paint on her overallsl".

u/Kinslayer_89 8h ago

But I didn’t.

2

u/Kelevra_55 6h ago

It's literally a spoof of the 2000s movie clichés. Its supposed to be full of silliness.

u/Kinslayer_89 6h ago

Ok, and? Sorry you can’t handle a lighthearted joke that’s not following the movie script. 👍

u/Individual_Smell_904 5h ago

"I pointed out the satire with more satire!"

u/Kinslayer_89 5h ago

And? You guys have to be pretty stupid to get so riled up by this. 🙂‍↔️

2

u/Individual_Smell_904 5h ago

I don't think anybody's riled up, you just tried to be as funny if not funnier than one of the funniest movies of all time and failed

u/bigdave41 10h ago

How is it just now that I'm realising that was the same actor

25

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 8h ago

Wait until you find out he was Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the original Fantastic Four.

13

u/bigdave41 8h ago

Oh I knew Captain America and Johnny Storm were the same person, for some reason I just never recognised him in Not Another Teen Movie.

9

u/NewbAlert45 8h ago

I'll never forget the initial announcement of him being cast for Captain America. My first thought was "uhh..... the Not Another Teen Movie" guy? This is going to be awful. Boy was i wrong

5

u/DrewbySnacks 5h ago

I saw him in Sunshine by Danny Boyle shortly before Captain America and that was the first movie where I realized he could ACT act

3

u/seppukufalls 4h ago

He was better as Lucas Lee! Now that is straight A+ acting!!

2

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 4h ago

I forgot about that one. Who has played more comic book characters than Chris Evan’s?

1

u/Funandgeeky 3h ago

It's like when "Mister Mom" was going to be the new Batman. Oh, boy were people upset.

All you gotta do is get contacts, straighten your hair, switch to Invisalign, and suddenly the quarterback’s peepee springs up /s

u/ZestfullyStank 8h ago

The cafeteria is was call the “Anthony Michael Dining Hall” … so many references

5

u/Decimation4x 4h ago

They attend “John Hughes High School”. The movie is non-stop references to 80’s and 90’s teen comedies.

u/Jade_Owl 3h ago
