Who here actually finds Austin Powers funny?

[BrokenVisage]

Let me first say that I love Michael Myers (Waynes World especially) and think he's one of the funniest and most successful actors to come from SNL, but who here honestly likes his Austin Powers character? Not me, not in any of his 3 movies. In fact, I find him to be one of the most annoying characters in the history of cinema. Let me also say that I do love the other characters he does like Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard. I just can't stand how Austin Powers talks, acts, behaves, looks.. basically I hate everything about him down to his DNA. And I'm already sure that most of you love him and I don't expect any of you to "OH BEHAVE!" but I'm just reaching to see if anyone else feels this way.

Only the truly lame, lonely, and pathetic among us.

The opening to GoldMember was the only laugh I got out of the third installment

The first one was great. After that, the gimmick gets old.

The first two Austin Powers movies were funny. The last one sucked ass.

Will Ferrel sucks too. He hasn't made a funny movie yet.

First Austin Powers - funny
Second Austin Powers - meh. Too many repeats of the same jokes
Third Austin Powers - Sucked monkey balls

IMO, Jay and Silent Bob aren't funny either. A cheap laugh for pot-heads and re-res

oh yeah some parts of Austin Powers are funny. i like Mike Myers though, only he's a leaf fan :roll:

Yes, thank you.. I'm no stranger to ganja but still can't find Jay and Silent Bob anything but annoying. I hated Dogma mostly because of them too, but my friends all love their crap and all I can really do is shake my head about it.

[Bozono]
