Maybe in the 90s but the 00s? Not a chance. This was today's reminder to my brain that the 90s were not "about ten years ago".

They certainly had some semenal moments in them as a kid in the 80’s They did. Really loved On the Buses as a kid and Benny Hill too. So basically I'm just a dirty old man who runs around really fast from my nagging old wife after perving on a couple of busty nurses who usually come to work dressed in stocking and suspenders. Yep that's me.

I actually think for some of them nobody has taught them stuff. The American education system really has been doing work. Or actually no work. Have you ever considered going to America to teach them English?

I don't really believe in guilty pleasures but if I did, the Carry On movies would be mine. I tend to watch them like middle aged women watch Friends and I will shove one on in the background as wallpaper. And, as someone who could go on mastermind about them, they do have at least three separate epochs. The first nine (!) are more straight farces with a little bit of 'ooh, mrs' in them, then they get to the classic era everyone thinks of them as with Carry On Cleo for like 10 movies until Henry and then it goes in on all the bawdy sex pervert stuff, devolving for another half dozen films until it reaches its natural conclusion with the absolutely dreadful Carry On Emmanuelle. But, yeah, those first raft of movies are harmless and very 'British'. The middle tranche are fun and very 'of the day' but actually very funny and the last raft are just lazy cash-ins. Where does Carry on Columbus fit in?

There was a nice Judge Dredd short about the Judges clamping down on illicit movies, where the actors were explicitly based on the Carry On cast. The strip was called Carry on Judging.
Not a classic but it sprung back into my memory.

Carry On Columbus doesn't really exist. It was released too late and just isn't funny at all. Its a proper anomaly.
Its a cliche but Carry On Screaming is probably the best. Its got the best cast, its one of the least pervy and its pretty funny. Then probably Khyber and Cleo. Coincidentally, they are probably the ones that also hold up the best. Just pretty solid comedies.

Carry On Up The Khyber was always my favourite as a kid. I suspect its handling of British colonialism in India might not hold up today.
Carry On Screaming probably holds up best.

Any time the Carry Ons were in genre pastische territory, it tended to work and is probably still a decent watch (with the caveats for all the stuff that wouldn't get a pass today).

I suspect its handling of British colonialism in India might not hold up today. Its not too bad. It pokes fun at classism and how stupid the British ruling class is. The bits that don't hold up are, naturally, the brown face and casual racism.

Yeah, Khyber was always my favorite too. But the bits I remember are the bits where the Brits are all acting in ridiculous ways. The dinner party especially.
Don't remember Screaming...

I just watched part of a video on YT called The Pussification of Video Games (not linking) and it is genuinely one of the absolutely dumbest things I have ever seen
Genuinely surprised there are people that terrified of admitting they're gay. Even their examples of macho, manly (lol) video games are Riddick and Gears of War. Another game speaks of the bonds of brothers and another is about bikers
And they seem obsessed with balls. And being gay

And being gay I was a Max Dood video and his YT recommendations bar kept popping up on a video he was watching and that particular video kept popping up and even he commented on the title of it and kept saying what the fuck does that title even mean.

For people who hate the gays, they seem to love putting the pride flag everywhere
On a different channel, I think it could be posted as a parody as is. It's fully unhinged. All games these days are for children, women and gays (by including themes like empathy. Gay!) but none of those play video games

OK so I just watched it again and it has to be a piss take "Like, no, dude. What the fuck? Yeah, no straight guy has ever thought 'I want to deliver tasty treats to the towns folk." lol
"And it's funny because, like, I can't put my finger on exactly what it is about what made 2000's games so good, but it has something to do with men."
Proper laughing at this shit
"We're dudes and we want games about dudes. And we want games about male transformation and identity and a man who is actually going through something, who is actually a man."
Can't be real

Can't be real It would be pretty gay if a game had men and women in it. Why can’t things just stay the same like when a man could play FF7 and Tomb Raider and stick Aliens on without everything having to have women in it like now.
