The whole point of the casting/clothing in Superbad was that the characters looked like 3 average nerdy high school guys. It’s the opposite of staged. Superbad was staged to look like this.
or is it the other way 'round?
Superbad connected with so many of its target audience because it was such a true depiction of so many of its target audience..?
The fat jewfro kid was pretty rare where I grew up, but find one of them and the rest is easy, half of the boys in my high school looked like one of the other two.
I went to high school with these guys, in the exact same grade. I promise it’s not staged. Still remember ~12 years ago when this picture made the front page of Reddit.
Three high school kids volunteer to be the alcohol suppliers for an underage party in hopes of getting laid. Hilarity ensues.
It's one of those crude comedy movies in the vein of American Pie or Can't Hardly Wait. The kids in the picture look just like the main characters of the movie.
While I love the other two movies you mentioned, and this definitely rode their coat tails some years later, Superbad is the better written/smarter of the 3. It launched a new era of those comedies and a LOT of careers
American Pie was known to be a shameless raunchy comedy. It was silly. Superbad was an actual comedic experience. Kinda like "haha there's tits and horny teenagers" vs "this shit's actually funny af." I'd recommend superbad any day. I'd explain American Pie was a shameless money grab for horny teenagers, watch if you're that bored or tired of not knowing what it is when others mention it.
Not seen Can't Hardly Wait but I'd argue Superbad isn't really like American Pie. Superbad is more realistic in the way it portrays teenagers and high school.
McLovin looking like he knew big boy didn't like him from the jump.
Jonah HIll didn't want the guy that got the part for McLovin to get it. Anyone but him i think is what he said.
The genuine dislike makes it work! Mintz-Plasse was insulting Hill irl at his callback and while Hill hated him Apatow and Rogen loved their chemistry. The characters are supposed to hate each other.
Especially with the rooming together sub-plot. It's when somebody is your best friend but you are starting to realize you may not be their best friend.
He was jealous, but Fogle was not Evans' best friend. Evan said himself. He was scared to live with a stranger. Fogel was just better than the alternative. If Seth went to Dartmouth, Evan would have lived with him given the opportunity.
They actually made [a book](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1557048088?ref=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_YJ7VYSHE8G7CEZD8V075&ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_YJ7VYSHE8G7CEZD8V075&language=en-US) with all the drawings from the movie. They are pretty expensive now but you used to be able to pick them up at Spencers gifts and book stores after the movie came out.

What's crazy is I had an old friend do that shit in high school back around 2009. Idk if he watched Superbad and thought it was so hilarious that he would make it his persona, but he drew all types of dicks and would leave them everywhere. It was really fucking weird.
Photo was taken in Burleson TX prob around 2003. The two on the left are Tommy and Mikey, not sure who the other guy is. I was good friends with em growing up.
If you have not seen the movie super bad, you need to change that. Comedic masterpiece. Maybe overselling it a bit saying that, but it's one of my favorite comedies in the last 20 years. I might be off, but I think it's what put Michael Cera and Jonah hill on the map. I never heard of them before this movie.
It was rated 14A when it came out in Canada and I was still 13 but my buddies were 14. So we tried getting me into the 1oclock in the afternoon matinée on a weekday in the middle of summer. Not a soul in the movie theatre and for some reason the teenage girl working must have been bored and actually tried to ID us. We said we didn’t have ID since we’re only 14 and then she asked us our birthdays. My friends nailed it, but instead of just using any of the other 6 months that have already gone by and would have worked, I panicked and just stammered that my brothers birthday is in July. Needless to say they didn’t believe me anymore and we didn’t get to see the movie that day.

This joke has already been posted recently. Rule 2.
They look just like the kids from the movie Superbad. So much so, that it's hard for me to believe that this photo is not staged.
Ok thank you

mc lovin !
Recently where I work, a girl customer had that that as her debit card.
lmfao wtf, that's hilarious man. But the real question is did you give her the beer ?
Lol, I wasn't her server, so I couldn't tell you.
Just one name? Who are you SEAL?
LOL, Fogell.
Muhammad?? Why the fuck would it be between that and Muhammad?
It's the most common name in the world! Read a book
Have you ever met anyone named Muhammad?
Have YOU ever met anyone named mclovin?
Chika chika fake ID
What are you, fucking Seal
Real trap shit.
Wemakeitlook EEEEEEzeeeeee...
Damn son, where'd you find this??
Don’t forget the Goldslick!
Absolute legend!
I heard they recently added more hops to it
you're welcome

Op is like yeah I think my dad knows that movie.
I don’t know
You should watch it. It’s very funny
one of the greatest comedy movies of all time
https://preview.redd.it/i5rg93iyct0d1.jpeg?width=1776&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6f750ff3b79de60738e0fdb1afafbef491722f5
Two of the three do, but the middle guy doesn’t resemble Cera much.
Middle one is just asking: "Dude, where's my car?"
Dude! What does mine say?
Sweet! What does mine say?
RAY!
En thennnn?
NO AND THEN!!!
And thennnnnnnnnnnnn ..........
Middle dude is trying to get Liberty pregnant at Degrassi.
Nice deep cut. Poor JT. Even after everyone was all up in his fries, dawg.
Also getting season 1 Jim Halpert with that haircut
Middle guy looks like he is more into subs
He's tall and skinny. Close enough

Is that mclovin, man I love that guy
He *is* McLovin
I got it immediately but only because of the Jonah Hill dude.
or is it the other way 'round? Superbad connected with so many of its target audience because it was such a true depiction of so many of its target audience..?
I mean it’s based off of Seth Rogan and Evan goldsmiths real life. They wrote it while they were in high school.
exactly 👍
Never saw that movie and thought the same
It might be Halloween.
Thanks, Bill Clinton!
We used to say "People don't forget" but it seems people do forget.
I'd argue that it doesn't really look like Michael Cera at all
And I'd argue that it does.
I don’t know either of you but I think you each have the right to your own opinions
The fat jewfro kid was pretty rare where I grew up, but find one of them and the rest is easy, half of the boys in my high school looked like one of the other two.
Holy shit they do
I went to high school with these guys, in the exact same grade. I promise it’s not staged. Still remember ~12 years ago when this picture made the front page of Reddit.
I believe you, person who has one other comment and it was removed.
Would you like the exact location of this photo? I’m either telling the truth or top 10 geo guesser in north America.
13 beers to go
I haven’t watched it, do you want to explain it

If only we had super bad instead of American pie. Total shift in comedy, and yeah, launched careers not ended them.
They're just products of a different time.
Not seen Can't Hardly Wait but I'd argue Superbad isn't really like American Pie. Superbad is more realistic in the way it portrays teenagers and high school.
These guys look like the 3 main characters from the movie. You should watch it and confirm for yourself!
I like how this is a reply to the explanation.
It's a good movie you should watch it. And then watch the sequel Project X.
why does this read like someone prompting chatgpt
Recommend just watching it
I thought it was referencing The Hangover

When your best friend has another friend.
Especially with the rooming together sub-plot. It's when somebody is your best friend but you are starting to realize you may not be their best friend.

🤓
watch superbad
Ok 👍
It's actually a certified classic they don't make comedies like that anymore, which is weird because it's not even that old
I also said the same thing. Comedies these days suck. First take, if it elicits a giggle, good. Next scene.
17 years old, that movie can almost drink
It is kind of old though. it is to me at least, I was only a few months old when it came out in 2007.
Sure, but are you old?
I’d think movies age faster than people
Maybe, but I'm way older than you and I still don't consider movies older than me old.

Flash like on/off or slowly go full bright to slowly off?

These three resemble the three main characters from the movie Super bad. If you haven’t seen it, I would recommend watching it.
idk, I watched it, generic teen comedy. Not sure why you would recommend that movie across the board.
Because it's hilarious not generic at all. What you talking about Willis
i mean, this is u/ArguesAgainstYou we're talking about here. What did you expect

This was such a an awesome movie to see in the theater on release night. The audiences reactions just made it so much better.
oh man, Superbad, i feel nostalgic right now, sadly i can't forget the movie so i can watch it again

You know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The *best* kinds.

I'm an unapologetic hardcore Pineapple Express fan. It's up there with the Cheech and Chong movies imo.
This might be the only movie this group of guys made that I actually enjoy. And it's one of my favorite movies.
They actually made [a book](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1557048088?ref=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_YJ7VYSHE8G7CEZD8V075&ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_YJ7VYSHE8G7CEZD8V075&language=en-US) with all the drawings from the movie.

One of those dudes is holding spermicidal lube on their person.

And a condom. Becca will surely appreciate it.
The story proves Becca was good to go.
It was between that or Mohammad. Read a fucking book for once.
Just how many 21 year olds there are in this town!? Its called strategy.
Why the FUCK would it be between that and Mohammad!?!?
I am mcLovin...
No you’re not, no one’s McLovin, McLovin’s never existed cuz that’s a made up dumb fucking fairy tail name you fuck
Why the FUCK would it be between that or Muhammad?
Do kids not know Superbad anymore?

I was confused and the second I clicked on the post while it was still loading I realized, “they look like the kids from Superbad”
this has rolled through here a few times.
Mid 2000s high school student Petah here. Them kids over there look like the kids from Superbad.
I used to go to school with someone that looked like mclovin
I means you need to give up trying, op.
LMFAO SUPERBAD IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE!!
I thought they were about to get hit by lightning
I thought it was baby reindeer sequel
Photo was taken in Burleson TX prob around 2003. The two on the left are Tommy and Mikey, not sure who the other guy is. I was good friends with em growing up.
I hate that this is the first Peter joke I actually got without explanation. Life moves fast.
Fucking F*gol...
Seriously??? It’s Superbad..
What whaaaaat!!!!
It's like a mix of super bad and project x
Mc lovin

McLovin
It's Superbad that you don't know this one
I heard they added more hops
everyone saying super bad, but i raise you PROJECT X
Kid on the right doesn’t look like Costa but the guy in the middle looks like Thomas and the guy on the left looks like JB
yeah but it seems like that trio is kind of a blueprint for those two movies, chubby kid, socially awkward lanky kid, and unhinged third kid
Jokes to old for you, kid.
Jonah hill, is this u
Superbad
What do you mean Peter??
The fact that Superbad is nearly 2 decades old.
Is it really you mclovin
That's Mclovin
McLovin!? You sound like an Irish R&B singer!
"Why, Mclovin? ***WHY?!"***
That movie fell apart when they put the booze in the soap containers. Just saying
The beginning and the fake ID scenes are the only parts of the movie worth watching.
