Oh gosh. Freaking classics.

Imagine if they made those today. Like not another remake or sequel but like actually made them nowadays. Or Wayne’s World?

I just don’t see it happening without it falling completely flat due to executives being tone deaf shills.

That whole part about mocking the paid ads would just be a paid advertising segment.

Austin Powers was such a successful parody it’s the REASON they rebooted the Bondiverse with Daniel Craig as a more grounded Bond, and IMO <insert Professor Hulk absolute win gif here>.

I forget the name of it, but didn’t Steve Carell also play a parody of a spy?

Oh yeah, it was a remake of something, if I remember right. I know I saw it, but I don’t remember thinking it was very good.

It was Get Smart, a remake of a Mel Brooks TV series from the 60s.

Also, this is the moment that I realized we’re closer to the 2060s than the 1960s.
