Superbad is one of those iconic films that no matter how many times you watch it, it just gets better. It’ll be studied for generations and kids will have to write about it in their Cinema Studies courses. What made it special for most of us, however, was that we were either in high school or college when it came out, so the themes (like wanting to get laid and wanting to get laid) were oh so relevant to us. We were living the shitty house parties, the 3/4 blow jobs, and the vomiting all over our friends’ comforters.
Whenever we turn on the movie, we’re taken back to a simpler time when we thought drinking warm vodka out of water bottles was cool and that no one could tell our IDs were fake. Still, those days are long behind most of us (sad!), and now we can only revisit them from the coming-of-age movies we grew up with and by drinking tequila when we have days where we truly hate ourselves. And what’s even more shocking than the one gray hair you noticed last week or the fact that most of us are more likely to get married than ever do a body shot again, is that the movie that propelled us into the best years of our lives, just turned a decade old.
And in honor of Superbad having been released ten years ago yesterday, Seth Rogen answered questions and tweeted facts about the film that we’ve wondered for a long ass time.
He was wrong, of course. We all care.
And then, he went on to answer the burning questions every single attention-seeking person on Twitter had.
Finally, he gave a little love to his bestie and co-writer, the pair of which has gone on to create beautiful, beautiful movies together.
If there’s one thing that makes getting older better, it’s knowing that no matter how shitty everything else is, we always have the raunchy-ass movies that lubed our entrance into semi-adulthood to keep us young..

Well the funny thing about my back is, it’s located on my cock.
Calm down Internal_Audit, it’s just soccer.
I say “so are you guys on MySpace or…?” probably once a week
My favorite line “So Jesse wanted me to tell you you’re a fucking faggot and you’re not invited to his grad party.”
I don’t think I’ll ever laugh harder at a movie than when I first saw Superbad. Could be bc I was 17, but damn did it hit.
Why not just post a comment that says “I was a virgin and a loser when I was 17”
“WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT BE BETWEEN THAT AND MUHAMMAD!?”
But what about the the dick “illustrations”? Was that part of his childhood too?
Such a great flick. So many one-liners. Might have to watch it this weekend again to be nostalgic.
We grew up in the golden age of comedy. I’m talking about when we were old enough to see these movies without our parents. The 2000s gave us movies we could relate to, and they were extremely well done. The Superbad, Wedding Crashers, and Old School age of movies have set the bar so high. It seems like we are due for another laugh-until-it-hurts comedy. My parents still talk about seeing Animal House and Caddyshack in theaters. Hopefully we see another resurgence of brilliant comedy. If not, I’m glad I lived through the best decade of comedy in US history.
Will Ferrell crushed the 2000s.
Don’t be such a goober
Chicka chicka yea fake id…
So many one liners. This and Pineapple Express are staples…Can rewatch 100x and still find something I forgot about that cracks me up
Fuck me, right?
I died laughing at the G-string scene, “uhh, it’s 10:32”
