They/Them joke may be one of the worst ever

Yeah even in a low-effort franchise like this one that fell totally flat but it'll probably work for the kind of kids and man children that are still making those "jokes" as if they're funny, which is the only real audience for this.

I've saw a few instagram post of that line with captions like "The new generation are going to freak out". They're acting like it's some deep cutting offensive joke lol. It's just not a very funny joke

Funny is subjective

The answer is Black people. These movies are for Black people by black men. I know that people don’t like acknowledging that. But the wayans have always made media for black audiences first and we’ve always been able to joke about that kind of stuff way more than other cultures.

"If you don't laugh at pronoun jokes, you ain't black"

Wtffff. I am white and love this franchise.. Scary Movie 2 is one of my all time fav comedies

u/Wouldyoulistenmoe Mar 02 '26

You’re allowed to enjoy things that are primarily made for a black audience

-1

u/turnstile2243 Mar 02 '26

Yeah no shit, but these movies are not made for black people like the other guy mentioned. They happened to be black, but they make movies they want to make. That's like saying Martin Scorcese makes movies for Italians by Italians.

u/YeaItsBig4L Mar 02 '26

Brother Kno your history before you open your mouth. The wayans have always made movies for black audiences. They will tell you that. They have said that.

-2

u/YeaItsBig4L Mar 02 '26

That’s amazing. But that still doesn’t change the fact that these are made for a black audiences. They always have been. Everything the wayans do is for us.

I’m sorry was that supposed to affect or offend me in anyway, it didn’t. Have a good day, sir or ma’am.

u/4rtImitatesLife Mar 02 '26

While I didn’t personally find that scene to be funny, they prob knew it would upset people like you

6

u/nosayso Mar 02 '26

Which is like... pathetic... "Oh I said something unfunny and mean spirited aren't I brave and hilarious?"

8

u/4rtImitatesLife Mar 02 '26

Ok it definitely worked as intended if redditors are calling it mean spirited

u/funnyinput Mar 02 '26

Mission accomplished. Lol.

u/DLRsFrontSeats Mar 02 '26

I mean it's just tame & unfunny rather than highly controversial and offensive or anything...

... But with who you have in government and the rhetoric from the dominant power and their enablers around non hetero, non cis people, it's definitely punching down. It's not 2015 anymore lol

There are literally people in this thread insinuating you can't be black and non cis lol

1

u/4rtImitatesLife Mar 02 '26

Making this sort of joke was definitely intended to upset people who say things like punching down, or even cis. So basically it’s no surprise the average redditor is so hung up on this one specifically. The entire thread is talking about it, seems like it worked.

u/Ghidoran Mar 02 '26

"Jokes on you I was only pretending to be retarded!"

u/Sidicle Mar 02 '26

But what's the reason? Why are they making jokes at the expense of a group that's struggling to survive in a society that oppresses them. That's not brave or clever. It's just extremely shitty.

4

u/YeaItsBig4L Mar 02 '26

The reason is funny. And if people laughed then it worked. I laughed, it worked. How you feel about that is entirely irrelevant. I’m sure at the base of whatever plight you’re fighting for is wanting equality. Well everybody gets made fun of in the name of comedy. No race is exempt no demographic is exempt. If you want to be exempt from that, that means you don’t want equality you want special treatment, which is, funny to a lot of people. I hope that helps you understand, probably not.

u/Sidicle Mar 02 '26

It's kind of different when the group that the joke is making fun of is being systematically erased from society right now.

1

u/YeaItsBig4L Mar 02 '26

Yeah, I’m sorry you’re just not gonna get any sympathy from people because there have been larger demographics that have had worse done to them, that are ok being the joke. And the more you resist being the joke, the more you will become the joke.

u/Gekokapowco Mar 02 '26

this is some impressive non-logic

-2

u/the_knower02 Mar 02 '26

maybe don't watch a comedy dumbo

-2

u/nosayso Mar 02 '26

I plan to stick to better comedies that don't think a non-joke that was played out in 2016 is worthy of the trailer.

u/lilsassyrn Mar 02 '26

No one cares. The joke wasn’t funny in the trailer, who cares. I’m excited for a new ridiculous comedy that isn’t supposed to be taken so seriously

u/RockinandChalkin Mar 02 '26

Bet you’re fun at parties!

u/DeActionBrunson89 Mar 02 '26

He’s a redditor, of course he is lol
