: ...that I didn't like it. I was telling my bro about it, since he missed it. His first comment was, "Let me guess, there was at least one reference to something sick or immoral?" I said no at first, but then I remembered the last part about doing it with a bunch of guys. I guess that's all Kevin knows. I suppose it's funny to teenage fans, but I didn't crack a smile once. Guess I'm growing out of Kevin Smith humor. My question is, what happens when everyone else does? I'm anxious to see if Fletch or Cyborg is for more mature audiences. Surely he wants to expand.
If you didn't like the short, fine. But don't try and portray yourself as being so wise and mature and having "outgrown" Kevin's humor because you didn't laugh at the jokes. That's just ridiculous.
Does that mean that gramp is just a teenager trapped in a grown-up's body in some sort of "Like Father, Like Son" shenanigans? Somewhere, is there a 17 year-old who's yelling at a bunch of kids to get off his lawn?
"I guess that's all he knows". Uh-huh.
Go read Nietschze or whatever it is you do when you want to feel smarter than everyone else. If you didn't like it, I'm sure we can accept it. I wasn't that wild about it either. But that doesn't make me cooler/smarter/more mature than everyone else who did.
