My two cents is it’s just a damn good movie that holds up.

Doesn't the 6-7 meme come from a Skrilla song that someone added to a basketball video and uploaded to TikTok and now all the kids have gone nuts for it? I don't think it actually spawned from Austin Powers and the kids are just posting up anything that has 6-7 in it for uptocks or whatever they get on there.

It’s shaggadelic. Simple as.
My Teenager: "That's gas."
Me: "Lol. Ok Nana. What year is it? 1965?"
Teenager: "What? Nana doesn't know what 'gas' means."
Me: "You wanna bet? Ever heard of the Rolling Stones? 🎶Jumping Jack Flash. it's a gas🎶."
Teenager: 😧
They like it because it's groovy, baby
I don’t know whether this is serious or comically self-aware, but either way, this is a great take.
Both my Gen-X self and my Gen-Alpha kid are amused, though neither of us knows what the other finds funny.
child trauma these movies have caused me

When Austin Powers came out I thought it was the funniest thing ever. 25 years later I watched a few scenes and turned it off. It aged really poorly.
replies:
Its so old the references go right past them but give them something to look up if they want to feel like they know something others their age dont, and if not you just enjoy the funny scenes and the funny movie that has actual humor instead of "well that just happened" quips.
Because mike Meyers is entertaining and the movies are well-made goofy fun.
Its not so complicated. Also, does anyone still make comedy anymore? Seems like it has fallen off a lot.
The six-seven meme I've been seeing has nothing to do with Austin Powers. lol
