This is one of those movies that I absolutely adored when it first came out, but I haven’t ever really re-watched it in the decades since because I’m afraid it might not have aged well. And I prefer to remember it fondly.
I would expect most of Mike Meyers’s work to do well because his jokes were always wordplay and fart humor, rather than racism and coping with being a cishet white guy.
A ton of movies from the 80s and 90s hold up well except for maybe one or two jokes that haven’t aged well. In most cases, they could cut those specific jokes out without losing anything and the rest of the movie aged perfectly fine.

Just saw it again the other day. It’s still really good imo.
I think no comedy from the 80s or 90s has aged well.
Naked Gun, The Mask, Hot Shots, Gremlins 2, Wayne’s World, Groundhog Day, …
Edit: I meant “Hot Shots” but typed “Top Gun”

Top Secret. Jaws: The Revenge. Both from the 80s, and both hilarious…though for entirely different reasons.
Just watched naked gun, aged like fine wine

I’m sorry, but are you even familiar with Robin Williams’s work?

I mean, there’s aging poorly and there’s sucked the whole time
Robin Williams was one of the most overrated comedians of the 80s and 90s.
I assume you only know his film work then.
He’s actually a decent dramatic actor. One Hour Photo was great. The guy is just not funny, probably because he was coked up half the time.
Uhm… Space balls?
There’s a dude with bad taste
I just watched Dirty Work last night for the first time in 20+ years and it was hilarious… But I’m a huge Norm fan, so I might be biased.
What movie is this?

I think it’s called There’s Something About Mary?

I like that you posted the broadcast TV edit of the movie, which wasn’t allowed to show the famous cum joke on-screen.

Same! I might bust it out and try it on the wife and kids tonight.
