After seeing this referenced for years and years I've finally decided to marathon it despite the IMDB rating. It's incredibly mediocre. Why wasn't it forgotten instantly and what's the hype about?

You are just a faggot, that's why you don't get it.

It was a different time, and it offers great meme material. But admittedly the ants scene is the only legitimately solid joke.

Do you ever feel like Ben Stiller tries too hard? Tony Perkins was kino, but otherwise he’s better when he’s more subdued, like his romcom characters.

i got the black lung pop

Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller have an excellent dynamic in it. But anyway this is clearly bait
> marathoned it

>t. zoomer water trash

this i even enjoyed the starsky and hutch movie chuckled a little bit

Malick

Moisture is the essence of wetness.

>marathoning is clearly bait.
It's not. I'm currently 18 minutes and 39 seconds in and I've no intention to stop even though I'm not liking it yet.

It's an incredible fucking film and no modern comedy even comes close.

Life after 9/11 needed as many cheap laughs as possible. Millennials were ok with goofy character comedies since the early 90s (Ace Ventura, happy Gilmore, Austin powers). Different culture

I can’t imagine what it would be like to have autism and not get humor. Truly a terrifying thought.

A movie during a time with no social media for people to vent the silliness they experienced so they bottled up their impressions and over the years quoted and 'meme'd' it thus creating a reputation it couldn't stand up to.

id say tropic thunder ranks higher

marathon it?? it’s only one movie

Sure, but only because the humor in TT holds up better today. Zoolander became cliched because it was so popular and it's harder to enjoy as a result. Owen Wilson still fucking crushes in it though. His performance hasn't aged at all.

I had no idea this movie was so lowly rated. Its funny as fuck
>I think I got the black lung pop
>You're excused. And I'm not your brah
>what is this? A centre for ants?
>But why male models?
>IT'S ALL THE SAME LOOK. I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS
I had no idea Zoolander was such a pleb filter

It was funny

It's one of the best of a class of early-2000s comedies that are a product of their time and which are not made anymore
When was the last time there was a big new IP comedy that didn't try to be something else than what it was? The Hangover??

Its kino, sorry it went above your head zoomer

It was extremely unfunny and the last time I bothered with Ben Stiller/Will Ferrell trash. Good taste OP.

Zoolander is a time capsule movie. It was great when it came out but doesn't hold up to today's standards. Literally two hours of Dude Celebrities LMAO

Same

I'm a bit concerned this is the kind of movie Yea Forums gets up in arms about. But it's nice to see you discussing films and television for once
