And my mom never would let me watch MTV.And IMO, those laughs are only genuine to the generation of today that lives off of off-color MTV-style potty humor and not the subtle, yet-still-gentle humor of years past.

Truth? Either he made an uncredited (due to the obvious) cameo, or they hired someone that sounded exactly like him. He played the Air Traffic Controller at the end of the film.And what really kills me is that someone started a rumor that Michael Richards was doing a voice in the movie, and suddenly everybody's like "so, does Michael Richards shriek about black people in this movie?", "Is Michael Richards a bee who hates black bees?"
Well, that's mainly due to the fact that Shrek is well established, and a lot of near sighted people would rather see something familiar than take a risk with something new. To Me Shrek 3 was meh. It could have really been the last film. It really should have been the last film. I really thought that the whole "Puss and Donkey have a caustic relationship" thing was played out in the last film. And having Justin Timberlake play King Arthur? Terrible. Terrible idea. But hey, Dreamworks is all about A list celebs doing voices. I didn't hate it, but I am hesitant to see the fourth one. Though I did like the Christmas special.Shrek the Third looked great, but was a mess of a film. There were enough fun moments to coast through - and it made 320M domestically compared to superior film and story - Ratatouille's 206M. There's no accounting for taste. Poop jokes always win-out over quality storytelling.
I'm glad someone gives Potty humor more credit than it deserves. it's not adult. It's 2nd Grade kiddy stuff. I mean, even potty jokes, done well, can actually be funny. But there's a difference between Arale (from Dr. Slump) playing around with a talking poop and Alvin eating a "Raisin" to me. Farts haven't been funny to me since John K got ousted from Ren and Stimpy. Though I will say Kinnikuman flying by farting is a lot funnier than half the crap we have here.And IMO, those laughs are only genuine to the generation of today that lives off of off-color MTV-style potty humor and not the subtle, yet-still-gentle humor of years past.
No, no. What I am saying is that the jokes done nowadays are too blatant and obvious.I'm glad someone gives Potty humor more credit than it deserves. it's not adult. It's 2nd Grade kiddy stuff.

Singing has nothing wrong with it if what is being sung doesn't bring out the worst in people. And indeed, modern youth culture does show all those negative qualities, as well as poser subcultures (goths and emos when both are pratically identical, sans small differences) and other things, which is why I try to stand clear of it. But what about those of us who grow up with the 70's-90's television that brought us loveable values and lessons in life? It seems we from those generations seem to be losing out in this fight for control over what's being done in the world, and it saddens me.It's cute to see a cartoon character, Muppet or the chick from Hairspray sing while walking down the street, but it usually doesn't work in real life.
I agree, I think we're settling way too much lately. We're given material that is less than stellar, and we call it brilliant, because it's all we have. And we forget that only a few years ago, things were a lot better.No, no. What I am saying is that the jokes done nowadays are too blatant and obvious.
Indeed. And this is why those of us of generations past cannot seem to fathom the current age.I agree, I think we're settling way too much lately. We're given material that is less than stellar, and we call it brilliant, because it's all we have. And we forget that only a few years ago, things were a lot better.

I know there's a happy medium.But various degrees of taste keep us from getting said medium.
