99% of them bombed at the box office, they made their money on vhs rental, as soon piracy skyrocketed the market died

or strictly speaking comedy

My personal favourite was 'Can't Hardly Wait'.

Every time I watch it I get these deep, somber, feels about how much I wish I had an experience like that in high-school. Even if I had been one of the nerds.

Idle Hands for the win.

I really hated the early 2000's with a seething passion. Everything is better now, there I fucking said it.

Even the retarded special education kids were fucking eachother. How the fuck does a person make it through high school and still be a virgin? Do they not want to have sex? Did they step on a landmine and blow off their genitals?

You're pretty much right. I'm a pretty big fucking retard and I still fucked a girl in 9th grade and in 12th grade. Never bang a girl after that.

I've got kids, faggot. If I'm a virgin we need to get those dudes that wrote the bible on the phone because I've got quite a story for them.
>>
>>69140947
why are you so bitter about being a non virgin anon?
>>
>>69138109
Population aging alerts. There are no high school comedies anymore because there are not enough high school aged people to form a viable market.

all resources are committed into pandering the boomers and millennials nostalgia.
>>
>>69140988
I'm not bitter. I just want /red9tumblr/ to get off my board because the thought of talking to them makes my skin crawl. I wouldn't talk to your kind in real life, no sense doing it on here. It's not like anything you say has any weight to it anyway, you aren't even people.

Not just high school but generally school/college stuff were the capeshit of its time. I'm not sure exactly why the turn of the millennium brought so many of these but I imagine it's because they film makers at the time grew up watching stuff like that in the seventies such as Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and Porkies.
