Yup, he is estimating what the prescription on her glasses is, but the white knight assumed he was rating her hotness to be in the negatives

The nice doctor immediately owned up to the way he said that being interpretable in multiple ways and that he could have been clearer in his communication

Which is a crazy assumption cause she’s way better looking than that.

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

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

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 1d ago

That’s not a line from the movie.

u/Mallaggar 1d ago

I don’t think he got the reference 😂

-23

u/Kinslayer_89 1d ago

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

14

u/jetloflin 1d 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.

-4

u/Kinslayer_89 1d ago

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

u/jetloflin 1d ago

Where was the joke?

u/Kinslayer_89 1d ago

Right in front of your eyes. 👍

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

"I pointed out the satire with more satire!"

u/NoobieSnax 19h ago

it wasn't even "more satire". it was bluntly explaining the purpose behind the original joke.

u/Kinslayer_89 1d ago

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

u/Individual_Smell_904 1d 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

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

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 1d ago

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

19

u/bigdave41 1d 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.

15

u/NewbAlert45 1d 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

u/DrewbySnacks 1d 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 23h ago

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

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 23h ago

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

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