“American Pie” is officially 25 years old and Gen Z hates it!

The movie that made my gayling self wonder if humping twink ass felt like warm apple pie.

They said the warm pie felt similar to a vagina, not an anus.

It’s not problematic ,it is just plain awful.

I was born in 1991 and I've always thought it was fucking stupid.

People don't know how to have fun anymore. It's meant to be a very silly movie. The audience for this was kids that grew up reading Mad Magazine and collecting Garbage Pail Kids cards.

The guy who wrote American Pie grew up in the Grand Rapids metro area in Michigan in the 80s. Teenage promiscuity, drug use, and teen drinking were pretty rampant in those areas in the 80s and 90s.

R6 in those areas? All over the country.

Eugene Levy was always the best part of those movies.

I saw some video on YouTube of a Gen Zer watching Cruel Intentions and bitching about it.

Excuse you, R2! So what does the equivalent version of twink ass feel like?

It was made exactly for my age cohort and I always thought it was puerile and stupid.

I snuck into this movie with my friends because we were only 16.

It’s fine. Racy, I guess, for 1999.

Gen Z needs to realize that 25 years means 25 FUCKING YEARS AGO.

R12 racy for 2024 also, clearly, as Gen Z can’t handle it.

It’s a film about teenagers wanting to fuck and see boobs. That’s racy in any generation.

If they think this is “sexist, misogynistic, chauvinistic, racist” etc. wait until they discover Porky’s from 17 years earlier than AP.

The whole raunchy teen genre was dead by the 90s. This movie revived it on the cusp of the new Millennium. It lasted another few years before dying again.

The raunchy teen films of the 70s and 80s were far worse than American Pie.

The ones whining are chubby pandemic girls.

Blame your parents for not keeping fruits and veggies in the house in 2020.

R11, of course it was puerile and stupid -- it was aimed at hormonal teenage boys!

R17 yup.

And I doubt an 8 year old would watch it and say it’s stupid. They shouldn’t even be watching it.

It gave us another opportunity to see Tara Reid in her prime. And it was good wank material for a tween with all the Jason Biggs pie fuckkng/masturbation scenes and Seann William Scott being hot. It was fun.

R19 thinks the film was aimed at gays? wtf lmaooooo

I could never get hard to Sean William’s derp face.

Some of Jason Biggs’ friends were cute.

I'm a late Gen X/early Millennial and I absolutely HATED these obnoxiously juvenile, trite, boring and vulgar films about a bunch of stupid kids being dumb fucks.

If Gen Z hate this pile of shit for retards, then all I can say is that they have some very redeemable qualities.

Whoa, “r” word…

Guessing you’re not millennial or gen z…

R2 The body is at a constant temperature so chances are that any hole inside the body would be the same.

This one time, at band camp…

Oh, please. Have you seen the TikToks these obnoxious little brats obsess over?

They're not hating this (or any movie) because they're tremendous taste makers. They dislike it because they can't watch anything that requires a >3 minute attention span!

R22 sure you are.

This is not true.

90’s / early 2000s trashy movies are the only thing a lot of Gen Z’ers can pay attention to without going back to their phones.

Scary Movie, White Chicks, American Pie, etc.

I recommended “Norbit” to a Gen Z girl I work with and her and her boyfriend have been quoting it ever since.

The “queer” / liberal left who Gen Z doesn’t like are the ones who take issue with this just like they take issue with everything else.

My friends and I couldn’t get into American Pie because we were too young, but somehow got into American Psycho a few months later with no hassle at all.

Did anyone catch the first season of Orange Is The New Black a few years ago where Jason Biggs reprised the role of “guy experimenting with unorthodox masturbation methods?” It was when his fiance/girlfriend got sent to the slammer and he had to cope all alone.

R28 Norbit? Scary Movie? White Chicks? None of those are raunchy sex teen comedies. Scary Movie mocked sex in horror films briefly but they aren’t raunchy teen comedies. The fact you even commented this shows you’re slow as fuck.

American Pie is in the same category as Porkys, not White Chicks.

My IQ lowers with each post you make it on here.

R20 I only said that I, who happened to be a gay tween at the time, enjoyed the movie and thought it was fun. I never cared who it was aimed at.

I liked Superbad better, but American Pie was also funny. Gen Z likes Taylor Swift, so what do they know?

Truth, r33.

Gen Z only showers and goes out to see Taylor because it’s good for their mental health, OK? That’s why mom and dad paid $850 for their ticket, OK?

Superbad came out almost a decade later.

The only issue that I can get Gen Zers being mad about is Shannon Elizabeth's character being unaware about the webcam in that bedroom scene.

R36 have you watched the film? Listen to the dialogue.

I wonder if Gen Z will try to get Jennifer Coolidge cancelled for American Pie.

That’s another thing, the mom fucking a minor. Of course Gen Z hates it. They’re obsessed with age gaps. It’s weird.

Gen Z also thinks you’re still a “child” until you’re 25 years old.

I thought American Pie was hilarious when it came out, but it has aged badly.

It’s a product of its time.

It gave us the word "MILF."

R40, correction: Gen Z wants to be treated like little children until they're 30 for things like responsibility, relationships, and accountability.

But on the other hand, they demand to be treated like adults when it comes to wages and home ownership. Like they actually think they should be earning 6 figure salaries.

R31 God you’re stuck up and stupid.

All of those movies have the same exact problematic issues “American Pie” has as far as politically correct nature.

I don’t know how you can talk about stupidity if you can’t make the connections.

It makes no sense - so movies from that time that had comedy involving misogyny, racism, homophobia, fatphobia, stereotypes aren’t what put Gen Z off to “American Pie”?

Like shut the fuck up.

Why are we pretending that the only reason someone would dislike American Pie is if they're a sexless prude? It's a stupid fucking movie. If you consider American Pie to be the gold standard for humor then you should probably do everyone a favor and kill yourself.

[quote]The audience for this was kids that grew up reading Mad Magazine and collecting Garbage Pail Kids cards.

I grew up with thos things and still think this movie and its sequels are stupid. I've never made it all the way through any of them.

[quote]Guessing you’re not millennial or gen z…

You don't have to guess, they told you in the first sentence that they're "a late Gen X/early Millennial."

The only thing I could "complain" about American Pie is that Seann William Scott still hasn't come out yet.

[quote]Gen Z has discovered American Pie on Netflix and they find it incredibly problematic.

It's mainly 'woke' liberals/feminists who find it problematic, as usual.

The ;wokes' are humorless and don't understand satire and despise anything that sexualizes women.

The "wokes" are the reason you can get married to another man, r50. Nothing more pathetic than a socially conservative gay man.

[quote] The "wokes" are the reason you can get married to another man

No, they aren’t.

[quote] The “queer” / liberal left who Gen Z doesn’t like

They ARE Gen Z.

R46 What’s your favorite comedy? The Taming of the Shrew?

I’d say I bet you’re fun at parties but I know you don’t get invited.

That was part of why it was funny. Comedy isn't to be taken that seriously. Gen Z? More like Gen Zzz

It was hardest for her.

I've never seen this? Not interested. Not Gen Z. Old.

I don't hate the movie but finding out Alyson Hannifan was a monstrous cunt did hurt its rewatch potential.

Sorry, Hannigan.

R56 Makes sense. Dan Levy also thinks everything is about him.

I despise Jason Biggs and he's why I won't rewatch the movie or its sequels.

They stayed close

R58 What did Allison Hannigan do that made her a cunt? I must've missed that.

R63 Hannigan was a cunt to the actress who played Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I also recall when Entertainment Weekly did one of those reunion photo shoots, Seth Green seemed to be annoyed to be near Hannigan into a BTS video of the photo shoot.

What's so funny is that Hannigan so badly mistreated both Amber Benson, as well as the other actress that played her girlfriend in the final season all because she wanted Wheden to put Willow and Oz together, the only problem was by that point even Green thought she was a thundering bitch and everyone knew Wheden was a creep and wanted nothing to do with either of them.

Some BTVS, How I Met Your Mother, American Pie fans bought into Hannigan's "nice redhead girl persona" and were surprised when dirt came out about what cunt she was. I can't recall exactly when, but Hannigan claimed that Julie Benz was awful to her on the BTVS set. Hannigan reminds me of Jennie Garth. Garth for years bitched up and down about Shannen Doherty mistreating people on the Beverly Hills 90210 set. Then it was later revealed that after Doherty left 90210, Garth was awful to new female cast members who would join the show. Garth and Hannigan tried to milk sympathy, but they themselves were hypocrites.

I got a chuckle several years ago when CDAN ran one of those bullshit kindness blinds about a "mostly TV actress who was donating money to a domestic violence shelter that housed women and their children" The blind claimed that the actress was specifically donating money for holiday parties at the shelter. A few people were guessing Hannigan, but then others were posting things along the lines of "Hannigan is cunt or a diva"

I hated this movie and found it gross. I'm a millennial. I never got into the "horndog teen boy adventures" flicks. Had enough of putting up with that bs in real life, why would I use it as entertainment?

I preferred American Bundt Cake

I'm Gen X and have never seen it, though I remember hearing so much about it. I had no objection, I just missed it fro some reason. Is it worth a watch?

[quote] Is it worth a watch?

r69 In my opinion, no, it's not.

Gen X and I hate every frame of this stupid movie. It is so dumb and bland I find it mystifying that it became a franchise. It’s that terrible.

Superbad, on the other hand, is fantastic and has a heart. American Pie has a sexually violated apple pie where its heart should be.

Some of the direct to video sequels are way raunchier and edgier than the original. American Pie Beta House for example:

They used fake semen in that scene. You can tell by how it looks.

Very lame movie. Too mainstream to work in the way a lowbrow masterpiece like Freddy Got Fingered does. The kids are mad for stupid reasons though.

r73, yes it was fake semen. It's pretty rare to see real cum in anything mainstream.

I can only hope Gen Z viewers watch it in their safe space and get help with their trauma/PTSD. Really the only way the puritanical generation can feel good about themselves is to get offended by things from totally different eras. God forbid they actually go out into the world and do something to make it a better place. Why do that when you can try to look smart and edgy on TikTok?

Gen Z is also the generation terrified of answering the very phone that is glued to their hand. Maybe it's time to not care what these little shits want.

*wonders what Gen Z would think about "There's Something About Mary".

[quote] yes it was fake semen. It's pretty rare to see real cum in anything mainstream.

I think a bigger budget movie would be able to afford real semen.

"Supposedly Harvey Keitel, method acted, by jerking off on Nicole Kidman during the filming of Eyes Wide Shut. Which caused him to be booted off the role and enraged Tom Cruise, her husband at the time."

I prefer the low-rent gay version

It makes you wonder if Hannigan is a major bitch because she thinks she's a great actress and underappreciated, or if she knows she'll always be the one-note sweet girl, and that just drives her nuts.
