‘Do the jokes make you randy, baby? Or just uncomfortable…’: Gen X and Millennials Ask Gen Z's Take On the Iconic ‘Austin Powers’ Films
Does the humor still land or are the outdated?
-
If you are a millennial or Gen X then you know and love Austin Powers. This franchise was top tier comedy for these generations. In fact, as a millennial myself, I still catch myself quoting the comedy film and all my fellow millennials get it and laugh with me. But if I were to make these references in front of a younger generation, say Gen Z and Gen Alpha, would they get it? Or maybe they would get it, but would they also find it funny? These are the questions the internet is asking. The younger generations missed the James Bond era that the Austin Powers films were making fun of, so they might just see the jokes as offensive. But in actuality, they were making fun of something that was actually found a little offensive. The question was posed on Reddit and Gen Z seem to be giving a mixed review—some say the movie still slaps and they enjoy the comedy, while others say it's a generational humor kind of thing and they just don't get it. What do you think?
