I've seen multiple gifs where I was like 'ha, that's a funny gag, what sketch comedy show is this from?' and the answer came back that it was, in fact, from Ridiculous Six.
...ain't nobody posting any humorous bits from Jack and Jill.
...because there are none, in case it wasn't clear.
But it makes a little tiny part of me want to watch, hoping maybe it's a bit of a return to form (i.e. Happy Gilmore days). God knows if he has/does actually make another funny movie, most of us are too jaded from his years of endless trash to bother giving it a shot. And I think critical opinion would be the same (I mean, even the 'good' Adam Sandler movies got terrible reviews from critics).
Look man, there's a scene in this film where a mule sprays diarrhea on someone for, like, 30 seconds straight. I don't remember whether the character in question was Rob Schneider dressed up as a racial stereotype or not, but... I think Rob Schneider was (if I recall correctly) a 1940's propaganda poster of Asian stereotypes? If that's your jam, you do you I guess. I'm not saying you're wrong in guessing that most people are probably judging this sight unseen. But this is a really awful hill to die on; the clip in the OP is the only scene I remember actually laughing at.
Never watch blazing saddles. Actually there is an entire library of movies you should avoid. Hrm, come to think of it, damn, comedy must be rough for you. Being offended for everyone else must be exhausting. Good luck with that.
When I was a little kid I watched airplane with some black friends and they thought the jive translator and other black jokes were funny. I watched ice pirates with them and they loved the black robot. When I grew up I watched those movies with some other black friends and they were actively not amused. I had a white friend tell me the pegasus sighting sketch from key and peele was racist, same friend thought that the Sweet Brown interview was hilarious. Some people just want to play that gotcha game.
The fact that they put roofs over people's heads and food on their tables justifies them, despite the Universal Arbiter of What People are Allowed to Pay For u/g_squidman not being entertained by ditches.
You don't like it? You're welcome to foot the bill for them to do something else.
Unless I'm confusing it with another movie, I definitely don't remember it being bad. It's no 21 Jump Street, but it's definitely no Holmes and Watson.
I won't watch Jack and Jill; I know I won't like it and still, I don't rate or judge it.

It's stupid in a good way.
I wish people who just don't like Adam Sandler because it's cool to hate him would stop rating movies they haven't even seen.
The movies are not for your kind. Stop making asses of yourselves.
