Literally every movie after Billy Madison is a carbon copy that doesn’t live up to the insane purity of Billy Madison.
In this three hour lecture, I will show
i would add Happy Gilmore (which came right after Billy Madison) and my wife insists Wedding Singer are added to the cannon before we fire it. otherwise we’re with you, grapeshot loaded tally ho
Billy Madison is trash. Happy Gilmore is amazing. I’ve already made my grave on this hill and added barricades.
The quality of the film degrades with the need to include fart jokes. Like, one or two is cheeky. But it falls off rapidly.
Little Nicky was near the bottom of the barrel
May God have mercy on your soul.
I’m probably remembering wrong but The Longest Yard doesn’t have a love interest in it does it?
Not written by Sandler so doesn’t count.
Ah that’s fair!
Men: “Pfft Women wouldn’t date Adam Sandler, they only date muscle bound chads!”
Women:
Dude on the left is still muscular. And looks significantly in better shape that Adam Sandler. There truly is dad bod inflation
“Well, I don’t like men with too many muscles.”
“I didn’t make him for you!”
Janet changed her mind real quick when Brad wasn’t there.
Ah yes, from the documentary film Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Actually that movie wasn’t entirely wrong, the palest people there were a brother/sister incest couple, so they got that right.
Riff and Magenta arguably exhibited the healthiest romantic relationship out of everyone in the film.
I mean, yeah, consent for starters
It’s wild to me that a movie that subversive was made in 1975 and became widely known. Truly ahead of its time.
Slut!
But, see, the problem is… The problem is that… That uh… The problem is that women don’t know what they like!!!
In my experience, the people who really like large muscular men are other men.
You’re goddamn right we do.
Yea, just look at the visual differences between Yaoi and Bara 🐱
I mean… I prefer a slender alluring gentleman…
He looks like a schmuck in both pictures.
before looks healthy, after looks like he’ll die from a week without food
This is him and his wife, so pretty realistic
He would look approximately 46.2% better if he didn’t dress like this.
Dude dresses like a child. I’ve seen this look often on American adults, it is interesting
He’s pregnant, cut him some slack.
I think his style is what makes him look better lol
It’s his brand!
Counterpoint: IRL Adam Sandler has money and personality.
He seems pretty nice tbh
And pretty rich.
Very much pretty rich indeed
Is it really that difficult to find a picture of peach that AI has to be used to make this meme?
It’s also really bad even for AI.
Not only would it have been really, really easy to find a non-AI image, it would have been similarly easy to get better results from image gen. It’s like they went out of their way to find the worst slop possible.
right is the joke that they’re both ugly and malformed?

Or just post cosplay.
I’d struggle to name a more cosplayed pair of characters in the genre.
Harder for nintendo to sue you though, so probably a safer bet to use AI. If Nintendo goes after the AI and gets it shut down we all win anyway
Especially in Click.
Kate Beckinsale
I heard people theorize that Sandler has to be an amazing guy and great friend and all the good actors star in his shit movies as a personal favor. I also heard somewhere that at when they finish shooting for the day a boombox automatically appears on the set and it turns into a party.
His movies are just group trips to nice places with his friends and they all get paid. The great friend part seems to check out if you ask me.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid. Sometimes for going to a tropical resort.

Sandler turned out a number of genuine hits. Uncut Gems was a serious work of art. Happy Gilmore was a fun modern take on Caddyshack. 50 First Dates was as legit a RomCom as has ever been produced.
But he’s also turned out so much slop that it can be easy to lose the wheat amid the chaffe.
Okay tbh I phrased it a bit differently from what I meant. I did mean that most aren’t amazing, not that none are.
The slop I think is just there for a regular pay checks and fun with friends, whereas the good movies are to fuel the creative fire.
Ohh, 50 First Dates <3
As someone who works in film, I don’t understand how people would be down with that. Our days are stupid long and exhausting. Everyone usually just wants to get home by the time we finally finish
What do you do? I’m super curious about the ‘behind the scenes’ of the movie industry.
I work in the lighting department! It’s pretty fun work. It’s a little wild and I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I’ve had a lot of way harder jobs that didn’t pay 10% of what I get paid now. The downsides are the incredibly long days, the strange way it works with getting hired; you basically get hired day by day by whomever you made relationships with. Like I’ve never had to “network” before but if you’re competent, pleasant, and willing to work hard, the networking mostly does itself. It’s definitely interesting work. Sometimes I’m in some really swanky private apartment of some really famous person, the next I’m lighting naked models as they writhe around in a bathtub, the next I could be on the street in the rain handling disgusting cables sitting in NYC gutter water, the next I’m working 22hrs in the park on a 100 degree day. It’s wild, but it works for me. I couldn’t go to the same place with the same people everyday. Whenever I did that I was never happy, but I’m pretty content with the amount of variety this work brings
This all sounds really interesting. Much more interesting then all the celebrity gossip that passes as movie news. I would much rather learn about best boys and location managers then about Angelina’s Jolie new diet. I had a crazy idea about making a podcast about it but I have no idea about making podcasts :D
It’s probably a bit easier if you don’t have to care about the quality of the film.
the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face
Nah punch drunk love is also really good
counterpoint: eight crazy nights absolutely slapped when i was 11
I just watched it the other day and I still love it. Probably the nostalgia speaking, more than it actually being good, though, haha
He has a number of good movies. I guess because the most popular means visible movies are his slop comides for the whole family his “real” movies kinda goes under the radar.
Uncut gems is a masterpiece but I wanna mention Spaceman because it is fantastic. It is kinda the opposite of Uncut gems, if the first is like fast pace on the edge of you seat that you spend the whole movie holding your breath that shit is about to hit the fan, Spaceman is super slow and introspective, big great nonetheless.
Leo is surprisingly good, but it’s geared towards kids so most adults may not have seen it.
I think the only exception is Punch Drunk Love which is coincidentally also the best movie he ever made
It was written and directed by someone else entirely. Adam Sandler just stars in the movie. Anything actually good he’s been in hasn’t been one of his own projects.
One of my favorite movie anecdotes is that during some press conference promoting Magnolia someone asked Paul Thomas Anderson what his next movie is going to be and he said “a comedy with Adam Sandler” and everyone laughed. And then he made Punch Drunk Love.
Also, Reign over Me was also pretty good.
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is like what I imagine my parents’ Tom Hanks and Meg Ryans felt like. I will literally watch any cheesy direct-to-streaming B-rate romcom with the two of them in it. They’re so dorky and cute together I love them.
He’s Woody Allen with grossout gags instead of pseudointellectualism.
Have you looked at Woody Allen flicks? And its chicks?
To be fair he was often involved with the leads along with a long string of 16 and 17 yr olds.
Totally not on the list
For lolita express? Probably, we know he was one of the people who were in the letter book and he’s made statements about attending events with Epstein and young women. What’s young to a dude who openly fucks 16 yr olds?
