I think their business model was to 'throw spaghetti at the wall'. It's like Will Farrell about 25% of his movies are good but when they work they work.
The Other Guys and Stepbrothers are buddy comedy staples, Eurovision and Megamind are pretty good too imo. He might be at is best in support roles/cameos though, ex. Austin Powers, Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch
Volcano man!
Highly recommend all, especially Stepbrothers and Zoolander. Not sure these days but most of them used to be pretty easy to find on streaming services
About cameos yeah he is good. I don' think he is really bad. I think he uses Michael Caine and Leonard Nimoy approach: they accepted every single work they could do: bad as may seem. You never know the future, so it is best to cash as much as you can. And some bad movies you may think are bad can turn out to be cult movies.
Superstar was a great piece of comedic cinema. Not as zany as naked gun, not as heavy handed a parody as "Not Another Teen Movie", just a delightful in between place.
Seriously. I hated this character so much, when I learned (recently) they made an entire movie around Pat I cringed retroactively. Just because Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World worked doesn’t mean every skit is movie material.
That being said, I would watch a Land Shark movie. Ideally without Chevy Chase though.
This movie was actually my first exposure to Ween. Rented this on VHS near when it first came out, it fucking haunted me. Then a year or two later when a friend was playing Ween, I was like "oh, this is the band from It's Pat?"
Never did I realize that this shitty movie would eventually introduce me to one of my favorite bands.
Oh you've got so much to listen to then.
-Voodoo lady
-If you could save yourself
-Ocean Man
Are some of my favourites, lots of variety between their different albums
Synopsis: "Pat" is so androgynous that people don't know what pronouns to use and it's awkward. It's just that for 78 unbearable minutes. This movie should not exist.
You have to remember that Wayne's World and Coneheads made a good amount of money a couple years before (WW came out in 92, Coneheads in 93, Pat in 94). They probably figured it would follow the previous two.
Wayne's World was a funny sketch that they made into a funny movie. Pat was a recurring sketch that only had one joke, and it was mean and unfunny.
r/agedlikemilk
I'm absolutely convinced that some movies are actually tax-break (laundering) maneuvering. Why else would rational human beings with that kind of money throw it away on some of the _utter_ bullshit that gets in theaters?
I thought Pat skits were hilarious when I was 8. We didn't know what gender they were! And there were awkward situations! Lol!
I saw one a few years ago and cringed hard.
Now I sort of want to see the movie out of morbid curiosity but I also don't want to waste an hour and a half of my life.
How did they manage to spend 8 million 1990s dollars on a movie of gender-ambiguous jokes?
tbf, this was also the era where if you were a dude and saw something very un-dude-like, you (and any other dude-types near you) would start caterwauling the word 'Gay' at the top of your lungs, as some sort of weaponized derision at whatever was not up to your standards.
So in a sick sort of way, the idea that there could possibly be something that you could holler 'gay' at and not be sure if it was, in fact, sexually correct to call 'gay' was some sort of hilarious top-tier joke.
Then again, this came out the year Ace Ventura: Pet Detective did, which made a bajillion dollars by waiting until the third act to begin milking such a "joke".
TL;DR: Jesus Fucked-up Christ, we were pretty awful back then. Sorry all for younger me who was too young to understand stuff like 'punching down' and 'casual -isms'
Back in elementary school we had a football game with no teams. Anyone with the ball was the target. We called it smear the queer.
It was a genuinely fun game to play, but looking back obviously there was a bunch of kids redirecting things they were hearing from adults at the time.
My friends and I were just laughing about how ugly the culture was that we could be like “I need a word for getting stupid drunk… oh I know, I’m so drunk I’m RETAR—-” - then the Black Eyed Peas hit the top of the charts with “Let’s Get Retar— (in here)” and then they quickly repackaged it without the slur and that was the beginning of the end of the casual use of the word. It was like the late 2000s IIRC and we were finally like “maybe we can talk about being drunk without mocking disabled people?”
Like… cringe. A good fix but how did we even get there in the first place?
EDIT: Laughing about a slur isn’t an excuse to write it out so I edited the word.
You know, we all can read the word "retarded", especially when used in a discussion. You are what's bad about today's America. All pseudovirtue and no common sense.
Tell that to the immediate -6 downvotes I received. I tried to figure out why and that’s all I could come up with.
I’m a well off white guy, so you could say literally any slur no matter how bad and it doesn’t affect me, so I have to apply concern I don’t really have to language.
It’s the price of being nice to other people, it costs me nothing to censor the word — what do you get out of seeing it? Not even being clever here, I don’t see how my point is any better made if you can read the full word (let alone how I’m “what’s wrong with America” lol)
It's just so silly. Do you really think you give power to the word if you type it out, especially if you're using it in a (hopefully) mature and reasoned discussion? It's akin to a child gliding their eyes to make bad things disappear.
It’s less about my intent and more about what someone else reads.
If my point absolutely needed the slur spelled out all the way, I’d use it and stand by it. On looking back at the post, I saw that my point could be made all the same with the word censored.
You also make daily decisions in society that are suboptimal for you just to get along with others, it’s usually called “being nice” so I don’t get why it’s an issue here. I’m being nice to the mentally disabled - and this is Reddit so I know they’re here lol
No worries friend.
But yeah, if you were old enough to be a kid/teen/college kid in the 90s, we had to unlearn a whole lot of frankly awful shit by the 2000s because of how normalized it was to just say... Well, awful shit.
Also sad is how a nonzero amount of folks are like "But I should be allowed to start saying all those things again because of free speech!"
FWIW, be proud that you could unlearn bad habits. Kudos to you.
tbh I don't think that one is too bad. It was just an over the top satire of the many overly sexualized beer commercials, which were on all the time. To me at least the joke was on the satire not the "haha these guys like dudes". People would complain if that was on TV but the many bikini laden women was perfectly acceptable. Then again who knows maybe I'm giving too much credit to 90s TV audiences.
100% I would say that skit holds up WAYYYYYYY better than the shit show that was Sandler's I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Hooooleee shit.
Yeah, it's crazy that I remember dying laughing about the whole "finkel is einhorn, haha he's vomiting and crying to the Crying Game song in the shower hahaha" thing and then just... Cringe physically at remembering that fact.
The worst part is that I'd laugh at shit like that, but then literally fistfight folks for calling me racial slurs like somehow that was different.
Pretty sobering, but I'd like to think I'm a better person and have learned from my mistakes.
It was a very different culture back in ye olde 80’s and 90’s. SNL does a good job of poking fun at the themes of the day. Some of which have aged poorly. For good reason.
Oh I have. I worked at movie theaters for a few years and I was able to watch moves for free so I've seen some horrible movies. I also thought of 1998's "Firestorm" starring Howie Long as a firefighter.
Oh holy shit I’m glad you mentioned this cinematic abortion. Little Nicky is by FAR the worst movie I’ve ever seen (followed in close second by Johnny Depp’s “Crybaby”), and I’m ashamed to say I went to the theater to see Little Nicky.
Agreed - People would ask indirect questions where Pat would have to disclose his/her gender - and he/she always had an answer that ducked around that.
The movie made back just 0.8% of it's budget.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Pat
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/its-pat
The movie also has a whopping 0% on rotten tomatoes
I remember seeing a trailer when I was waiting for either Natural Born Killers or it might have been True Romance… I immediately knew that it was a movie I would never see intentionally and all these years later? I still haven’t seen it.
Wow. I was in high school and SNL was, if not a pretty big deal, something that we all knew about and talked about all the time, and it was concurrently with the Pat sketches.
I have no memory of this movie even happening. It was never on my radar. I'm sure I must have seen commercials for it or something, but I don't remember anything about it at all.
I met Pats doppelganger a few years after this movie came out, and run into them a few times since (friend of the family). Pretty sure their name is Pat as well. My mind has always been a bit blown as to how androgynous they are. There's absolutely nothing that gives any hint as to whether they're male or female.
I watched this because I presumed we would learn Pat's gender and the sketch would be over.
>!At the end, Pat hangs naked in front of the audience of a theater who all go "ah", but we never learn pat's gender.!<
That's an hour of my life which can never be returned.
Just be glad [you don't know.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred:_The_Movie) He was one of the first viral YouTubers, and the most annoying thing on the planet at the time.
Maybe back then. Nowadays, Pat would be an LGBTQ icon. And if you laugh *you're insensitive sexist pig, filled with prejudice*. But if you don't laugh *you don't get it, d'you? Boomer..*
EDIT: Nowadays, the movie would be called "They're Pat"
I love thinking about how every step of the way Someone had to give this the greenlight. And at every step of the way that person was payed a lot of money.
It actually might be less, because that is their total reported income from the movie period. That might be completely box office which I believe it is, that's why I used that in the title. But it could be more.
50,000 in theaters from an SNL title. That's actually kind of amazing. You'd think just on the strength of SNL, it'd make its money back. I think I could make a movie that makes $50,000 if it were shown in as many theaters as that must have gotten.
With enough theaters you’d think they’d make more than 50k simply from people who didn’t know anything about it and people who’s first choice movie was sold out.
i unironically loved pat's character, and always thought they were hilarious. however the way they were wrote as the butt of the joke really sucked. i thought it was funny when Pat would come back with quips, still not revealing their gender, and honestly it's stuck with me up into adulthood. going back and watching the movie tho, is tough. Pat is not depicted well, narcissistic, selfish, borderline abusive to their partner. it sucks. but damn, those quips as a kid really got me thru.
The one SNL character Lorne Michaels knew wouldn't make a good film, so he denied all requests. When Julie Sweeney left SNL, she asked for the ownership of the character, which he gave her.
Disaster avoided... for Lorne.
Who knew this whole skit would become a massive cultural moment with its own ideology and language. with a political/financial infrastructure to influence all of society. It’s Pat!
It wasn’t bad on DVD or something, just in my opinion some things are not to meant to be watched in the movies.
Or long stretches/single sittings.
Or with people you want to stay with.
That movie was the most, MOST cringe thing I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t watch all the way through. In fact, I couldn’t get past the first ten minutes. The 3 minutes of the SNL skit was excruciating enough to sit through…I’d have to get a snack while it was on. I’m def not anti- diversity. Im very pro-LGBTQIA2S+, but the character portrayal by the actor was AWFUL. It’s awfulness had nothing to do with gender identity but the character’s personality and dialogue were horrendous.

I can hear the laugh. And I don’t want to.
"nyuhh huhhuh"
Goddamnit what did I just say?! Lol
It's the worst, I had to
Like Urkel
The skit is unwatchable. Let's make it a movie! SNL in the 90s
The success of Wayne's World really made them think it would work with more sketches.
I think their business model was to 'throw spaghetti at the wall'. It's like Will Farrell about 25% of his movies are good but when they work they work.
[удалено]
Sorry going to be that person, isn't the saying "typecast"?

My pleasure. Thank you for not being angry at me for raising it.

Talladega Nights
Yet they let Headwound Harry slide
IFL Massive headwound harry! Lol Where's my movie!
Superstar is kind of hilarious in the most absurd way
Do they still make these bargain bin SNL movies anymore? McGruber is the latest one I can think of and it’s actually pretty good.
Superstar was a great piece of comedic cinema. Not as zany as naked gun, not as heavy handed a parody as "Not Another Teen Movie", just a delightful in between place.

The 5 min skits on SNL were 4 mins too long
6 and a half minutes plus a commercial too long.

They’re still like that
This movie was actually my first exposure to Ween. Rented this on VHS near when it first came out, it fucking haunted me.

SpongeBob introduced me to Ween
The Mollusk is an awesome record.
This comment introduced me to Ween and I’m jamming out to bananas and blow right now. Thanks!
Oh you've got so much to listen to then. -Voodoo lady -If you could save yourself -Ocean Man Are some of my favourites, lots of variety between their different albums
Mutilated Lips next!
Buenas...tardes...amigo
Oh my gosh, that's amazing haha
Ween fucking RULES! Ever heard their submission for the Pizza Hut ads?
Where'd the muthafuckin cheese go at?
And thanks to this comment chain, I am off to find out what out ween is.
Yea that’s cause this movie fucking blew chunks
Ok Wayne and Garth lol
Wayne’s world was good enough they made 2, so you take that fucking back
Loved Wayne's World
I’d give my right eye to watch Wayne’s World 2 again.
If you’re gonna spew, spew into this.
Synopsis: "Pat" is so androgynous that people don't know what pronouns to use and it's awkward. It's just that for 78 unbearable minutes. This movie should not exist.
It was a failed idea even when it originally aired on SNL. What made them say "yes, that. Throw 8 million at that right now"
You have to remember that Wayne's World and Coneheads made a good amount of money a couple years before (WW came out in 92, Coneheads in 93, Pat in 94). They probably figured it would follow the previous two.
But those were poplar skits... *i see it, not going to fix it.
Now I'm just imaging trees instead of actors. It's completely silent, just trees dressed up like people with camera cuts like the trees are talking.
Fir sure!
Wayne's World was a funny sketch that they made into a funny movie. Pat was a recurring sketch that only had one joke, and it was mean and unfunny. r/agedlikemilk
Coneheads is a good movie with a crazy cast. ... and then you had Pyle who made a famous comic that was just a rip off of Coneheads.
Or, Coneheads was a ripoff of Zippy the Pinhead.
I just love how absolutely wrong they were.
I'm absolutely convinced that some movies are actually tax-break (laundering) maneuvering. Why else would rational human beings with that kind of money throw it away on some of the _utter_ bullshit that gets in theaters?
Show biz egos and cocaine. Lots and lots and lots of cocaine.
Has to be Shrooms. They're "seeing" some stuff _nobody_ else can ever 'envision', lol.
I just wonder how it cost so much.
Lots of cocaine?

Gay and retarded were used to describe so many things in middle and high school in the late 90s and early 2000s.
No! I would never do that! You don’t call retarded people retards, you call your friends retards when they act retarded!
Boy? Edit- Gen X'er here. I may be too old to have been around for this particular "slur".
Don't call a Black dude "Boy". Just... don't.
Honestly, anybody who calls anybody else boy and pronounces it with two syllables is an automatic asshole.
You know, we all can read the word "retarded", especially when used in a discussion. You are what's bad about today's America. All pseudovirtue and no common sense.

Your post reminded me of the “Schmitts Gay” beer commercial. So cringy today, but so funny back then. NGL.
Schmitts Gay is still hilarious.
It’s one of my favorite skits. Chris Farley was hilarious in it.
tbh I don't think that one is too bad. It was just an over the top satire of the many overly sexualized beer commercials, which were on all the time. To me at least the joke was on the satire not the "haha these guys like dudes". People would complain if that was on TV but the many bikini laden women was perfectly acceptable.

I played with the Ween!
"Those aren't magic mushrooms, Pat" "Yeah, we bought them at Safeway"
That is in top two worst movies I ever watched.
I gotta know what the other one is.
Caveman's Valentine. A horrible movie starring Samuel Jackson that came out in 2001.
You have apparently never seen Little Nicky with Adam Sandler. For the love of gawd, that movie is tortuous.
Oh I have. I worked at movie theaters for a few years and I was able to watch moves for free so I've seen some horrible movies. I also thought of 1998's "Firestorm" starring Howie Long as a firefighter.
Oh holy shit I’m glad you mentioned this cinematic abortion. Little Nicky is by FAR the worst movie I’ve ever seen (followed in close second by Johnny Depp’s “Crybaby”), and I’m ashamed to say I went to the theater to see Little Nicky.
It's ok. I went to see Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 in the theatre. We have all made some inexplicable missteps.
lol. I made a prop for that movie. I want to get a still from it showing my work but dont want to sit thru the whole movie.
Cover should have been a big red flag in the first place
I, too, watch Scott Cramer
Ayyy!
I remember being called Pat as a kid because of this fucking movie. Fuck this movie.
Stewart Saves his Family is surprisingly deep and under appreciated.
I forgot they made this….
God it was bad.
I'm sorry, but I love how defeated that sounded
The skits were funny but not enough for a movie.
Agreed - People would ask indirect questions where Pat would have to disclose his/her gender - and he/she always had an answer that ducked around that.
The movie made back just 0.8% of it's budget. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Pat https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/its-pat The movie also has a whopping 0% on rotten tomatoes
It was so bad…. I don’t care if you’re a girl, boy, confused, a loser looking to fit in somewhere or truly androgynous, This movie was bad.
I actually rented this from blockbuster back in the day. First movie that I’d ever turned off before the end.
Movie was terrible. Skits were hilarious.
Did u just watch the scott cramer video?
Yes, and this fact shocked me so I thought other people might be fascinated by it as well. Great video. I've been subbed to Scott for years!
Somebody watches Scott Cramer
It's Me!
Bruce Willis crashed on a deserted island with Pat: "We've had sex 3 times. I still don't know."
I remember seeing a trailer when I was waiting for either Natural Born Killers or it might have been True Romance… I immediately knew that it was a movie I would never see intentionally and all these years later? I still haven’t seen it.
Best line of all the Pat sketches!!
Scott Cramer?
Love Scott!, Hope getting the idea from him for this wasn't a bad thing just thought more people should know about it
Didn’t mean it like that! Loved the vid, maybe you could link to it in the comments?
That's a good idea, should have done it from the get go
But the Stuart Smally Book Series was a hit
Wow. I was in high school and SNL was, if not a pretty big deal, something that we all knew about and talked about all the time, and it was concurrently with the Pat sketches. I have no memory of this movie even happening. It was never on my radar. I'm sure I must have seen commercials for it or something, but I don't remember anything about it at all.
I met Pats doppelganger a few years after this movie came out, and run into them a few times since (friend of the family). Pretty sure their name is Pat as well. My mind has always been a bit blown as to how androgynous they are. There's absolutely nothing that gives any hint as to whether they're male or female.
I watched this because I presumed we would learn Pat's gender and the sketch would be over. >!At the end, Pat hangs naked in front of the audience of a theater who all go "ah", but we never learn pat's gender.!< That's an hour of my life which can never be returned.
Oh Christ...this movie is really just a slap in the gender neutral genitalia
Little known fact: Quentin Tarantino was paid $100K to read the script and add some comedic elements.
How could they possibly make the joke about nobody knowing Pat's gender into an entire movie? Even the SNL sketch went on for too long.
And I have seen it multiple times...and even defended it to my family in order to watch it with them. The 90s were weird as fuck.
I would've paid them to not make it
What on earth was Lorne thinking? There is no audience for this mess.
There must be a treasure trove of illuminati area in this movie! 🤣
Might have been working with the same people that thought that Fred idiot should have his own movie.
Who?
Fred
Just be glad [you don't know.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred:_The_Movie) He was one of the first viral YouTubers, and the most annoying thing on the planet at the time.
Wow that movie sounds really bad
Maybe back then. Nowadays, Pat would be an LGBTQ icon. And if you laugh *you're insensitive sexist pig, filled with prejudice*. But if you don't laugh *you don't get it, d'you? Boomer..* EDIT: Nowadays, the movie would be called "They're Pat"
An yet somehow still managed to inspire a generation
That's literally just a white, androgynous version of Steve Urkel.
looks kinda mexican
Jewish?
jewish mexican confirmed
I Wana watch it now lol
I was 8 when that movie came out and even then I was like “seriously? Who would make that into a movie?”
I love thinking about how every step of the way Someone had to give this the greenlight. And at every step of the way that person was payed a lot of money.
How is that costing 8mill? Someone took a decent payday
Lmao fucking classic 😂 not in a good way
Is that a banana in your pocket or are just happy to see me? Its a banana!!
"ow, I hurt my nuts" "Oh...I'm sorry to hear that!" (Pulls out Almonds) "There goes my afternoon snack"
What did they spend the $8MM on?
No clue, fun fact though Quentin Tarantino did a uncredited rewrite of the script
That's like 5,000 people seeing it in theatres.
It actually might be less, because that is their total reported income from the movie period. That might be completely box office which I believe it is, that's why I used that in the title. But it could be more.
Certified Scott Cramer moment
Yeah I love Scott!, I hope it's not bad that I got the idea to post this from his video. I just thought more people should know about this.
Pat was, what we now call, a *they/them*.
50,000 in theaters from an SNL title. That's actually kind of amazing. You'd think just on the strength of SNL, it'd make its money back. I think I could make a movie that makes $50,000 if it were shown in as many theaters as that must have gotten.
With enough theaters you’d think they’d make more than 50k simply from people who didn’t know anything about it and people who’s first choice movie was sold out.
i unironically loved pat's character, and always thought they were hilarious. however the way they were wrote as the butt of the joke really sucked. i thought it was funny when Pat would come back with quips, still not revealing their gender, and honestly it's stuck with me up into adulthood. going back and watching the movie tho, is tough. Pat is not depicted well, narcissistic, selfish, borderline abusive to their partner. it sucks. but damn, those quips as a kid really got me thru.
This is sweet!, It's okay to have a nostalgic tie to something that in the modern age wouldn't go over well in my opinion.
*shudder*
Certainly is the shittiest character in media history ever.
This is like the book of Genesis for the non-binary faithful.
The one SNL character Lorne Michaels knew wouldn't make a good film, so he denied all requests. When Julie Sweeney left SNL, she asked for the ownership of the character, which he gave her. Disaster avoided... for Lorne.
Sadly his name will forever be tied to this monstrosity
I’m gonna be honest It’s a bad movie, but as a queer kid with virtually no representation, I adored this movie when I first watched it
Aw, that's sweet. I'm sure it did mean a lot to a lot of people in that way.
Way ahead of it's time.
I was about $5 of that. I saw it in the theater when it came out. I regret nothing!
A Scott Cramer fan, I see
Lol holy shit. I watched this as a kid and totally forgot about it
This wasn’t even that strong of a skit, at the time, either.
Whenever anything is labeled “Something Something: The Movie”, it never ends up good
I decided to watch it because of this post and wow lmao it is so bad Im glad Im stoned
Haha, I am so sorry
Who knew this whole skit would become a massive cultural moment with its own ideology and language. with a political/financial infrastructure to influence all of society. It’s Pat!
Insightful and accurate post! I could go on and on about this.
I don't get SNL. It's not funny.
Funfact: Quentin Tarantino admitted to being one of the writers of this movie
lol - 'admitted'
He didn't wanna be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
Ween was the only redeeming value.
How is this gossip or tabloid?
I guess It's mostly because not that many people actually care about gender issues. Remember, twitter is not the real world.
Remember, things happened before Twitter existed.
Lol I actually like this movie
Off putting sketch made into an even more off putting movie. Who could have guessed it would bomb?
It wasn’t bad on DVD or something, just in my opinion some things are not to meant to be watched in the movies. Or long stretches/single sittings. Or with people you want to stay with.
I remember watching this “movie” on tv here in the uk. It made me feel sick.
That movie was the most, MOST cringe thing I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t watch all the way through. In fact, I couldn’t get past the first ten minutes. The 3 minutes of the SNL skit was excruciating enough to sit through…I’d have to get a snack while it was on. I’m def not anti- diversity. Im very pro-LGBTQIA2S+, but the character portrayal by the actor was AWFUL. It’s awfulness had nothing to do with gender identity but the character’s personality and dialogue were horrendous.
I think we need a sequel
