Why does it get so much less popular appreciation than similar movies like Step Brothers, Talladega Nights, Anchorman, Elf or Zoolander when (imo) it's so much better? Is it literally just because "muh Will Ferrell"?
On a related note: who is better Will Ferrell or John C. Reilly?

He's too ugly

John C. Reilly is way better than Will Ferrell. He's probably the one person in the world that can go full retard and make it work. Also he spread his butt cheeks as Mike Honcho.

Legit 10/10 masterpiece

Because it's too clever and those other movies are low brow trash. Stuff like Walk Hard and Black Dynamite goes over normalfaggots' heads.

Go ahead, sit some random midwit down and have him watch Black Dynamite, and see how long it takes him to even realize it's a parody.

The things it spoofs are too old for the typical fan of Judd Apatow films to understand.

this is legitimately one of the best movies of the last 20 years and worlds superior to all the oscar bait music biopics it was parodying

what are some more examples of mid-brow kino?

This.
People don't want to commit two hours of their time watching an ugly person. It has nothing to do with the film itself unfortunately.

WRONG KID DIED

Still haven't finished the cartoon, as long as I don't finish there is always some new black dynamite just waiting for me.

John C Reily was great in Boogie Nights

He was, dare I say, the most kino part of the motion picture. And that movie had some fuccin kino. Doc Oc and his manboi, Don Cheeto at the bank, communist roastie begging Dirk for his hot load... I could go on all day.

Too kino

A lot of zoomers and younger millennials don't get the references, or who they are parodying. I literally live with someone who has never heard a Beatles song, and just know them by name

Hey Joos.

and Magnolia and Hard Eight

Maybe people were confused at the biopic angle? Also I don’t remember any marketing.

The Jessies Girl scene will forever make my palms sweaty

I wish I'd never heard a beatles song, I don't like em. Sounds like your roommate is cool

You don't want no part 'a this, OP

if you think Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes is the peak of musical creativity as he does, then yea really cool

Liking them or not doesn't really matter (I personally detest most of their stuff), it's the lasting impression they left that's important

The Beatles suck dick and The Beach Boys are superior

Despite me thinking it's extremely dumb humor, I genuinely think it's actually too subtle for the average normalfaggot nigger. Like it's not bombastically "silly" enough for them to play along with even though it's entirely satirical.

The average person wouldn't really appreciate the whole "wrong kid died" joke if they don't know that it's literally what happened to Johnny Cash

I know what I'm watching tonight. Thanks OP

No one is "cool" for being so pathetically uncultured that they've never listened to the fucking Beatles.

>I should've spent more time loving you, rather than training my body to kill you in a deadly machete fight

Let's not forget the subtle redpilling.
>Those Jews control showbusiness

Bragging about knowing who the Beatles are is like bragging about knowing what Nike is. Fuck off with your commercial products.

The unrated version is 10x better, just as it is with Step Brothers, for literally the one or two missing jokes. Amazing.

Yeah, most of it hinges on whether you're into classic rock and can get the references, since the jokes don't hit you over the head the way most of these comedies do.
I loved it but (not to sound like a boomer) I doubt most young people today would

Rehab?

I'm ready FOR SEX

Give me a rundown, don't think I've ever seen that version
