Sounds like the 21 Jump Street remake
this was my first thought too
Same here. I also remember Channing Tatum’s character getting dunked on for driving a muscle car lol
My name Jeff
It could be called “22 Jump Street”
Thanks, I don’t remember so good anymore
Nah you are right, 22 jump Street is the my name Jeff sequel

Imo, a movie that accurately depicts the social atmosphere of a modern high school would have bullies from the 90s crying in a corner. High school kids today are fucking brutal with their insults. Also school shootings would have them horrified, because they wouldn’t have seen coverage of Columbine
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face
What are you going to do, stab me?
-Student stabbed to death
Reminder that the kids that did Columbine were the “nineties bullies.”
Didn’t they do it in response to being bullied?
Edit: Nope - they didn’t.
Shooting up a school is all kinds of fucked up, but I’m not sure I’d call it bullying.
From memory, those kids were known bullies at the school.
Yep - some quick research says I was wrong, and that the bullied part was misinfo.
TIL - thanks!
Why on earth is this down voted?
Eric Harris would fit right in a Hannibal lecter novel.
When I was in school, kids called things gay as an insult. Nowadays kids call things gay as a compliment.
That’s gay.
Futurama Fry meme
real and gay
When I was in school, jew & f*ggot were insults. Now, they’re GAMER WORDS.™
I have come to regard the “everyone so sensitive today” discourse as literal background chatter because for as long as I can remember people have been saying this. “Ah you could never get away with that today” like yes society does seem to be growing and changing don’t it and the sky is up there yet, and the rock’s still hard.
Things like that change all the time.
Sure you can’t call people a n-word anymore, but at least now black people are allowed to wash their hands in the same wash basin and you can show interracial kisses on TV.
Sure you can’t jail people for being gay anymore, but at least they are allowed to be who they are and even adopt an orphan.
Sure you can’t hit your wife anymore, but at least they now have the right to vote and can start their own bank account without a mans approval.
We are currently more free than before, just not for a particular group of people.
The particular group of people that experience butt-hurt at the improvements are also exactly as free as they ever were. One of the most damaging arguments against freedom is how poorly some choose to use it.
But how am I supposed to feel good about myself if all these minorities have the same rights as me??? – them probably.
I remember it when it was called Political Correctiveness.
I remember when there wasn’t a name for it

And he makes himself right at home.
I have two nieces who get bullied at school about different things. One so bad that she is switching to online-only for the next school year.
Anti-bullying my fuckin ass. Schools aren’t doing shit other than waving some flags around.
Teachers are trained to ignore the situation, punish both parties or whichever party they think is the problem, and move on. This tends to result in the victim being punished, simply because the victim is more likely to complain about their abuse than the abuser is to admit to it.
Why? Because if you were an underfunded educator being used as a glorified babysitter by the state, and constantly being accused of spreading communist propaganda when you tried to tell people with the Confederate War was bought over, whoever you think the problem is is whoever is speaking the loudest.
Or the teachers agree with the bully because they are racist/sexist/homophobic themselves.
My biggest bully was a teacher in high school who is in charge of the “special education” they made you take if you had to diagnosis the school system felt impacting your learning.
She was an ablest piece of shit who basically reveled in torturing her students.
I still remember going off on her when she tried to force me to read Bob the Builder in front of the class, despite the fact that I was the top of my Honors English class.
( we only had to take the special education class as one of our electives but dear God I hated it)
with diversity and inclusion
Important part there. Bullies thrive in plenty of shitty schools today and haven’t changed much. Biggest difference is they can now use the internet to further their bullying.
The methods and targets change, but bullies remain.
Those are Trump voters in their 50s. They’re everywhere. Don’t need a movie thanks.
Bit of an extreme but Look Who’s Back (German: Er ist wieder da) In 2014, Adolf Hitler wakes up in the Berlin park where his Führerbunker once stood. Disoriented, he wanders through the city, interpreting modern situations from a wartime perspective.
And the scary thing is lots of people supported him. It was filmed like Borat where the parts of him interacting with the general populace are not scripted.
Very good movie.
Isn’t that just present day Republicans?
-Sees shitpost on lemmy
Americans - “Hmmmmm how can I make this about American politics?”
Many countries worldwide are experiencing the neoconservative bully ideology pushing back against progressive inclusivity, not just the USA.
I was referring to the fact that lemmy is fast becoming a place for Americans to constantly shove their fucked-up politics in everyone’s face, despite the lack of relevance
Well if you listen to tankies (which you shouldnt) America is why the whole world is like this. We control everything and also are a total failure. It’s weird to be two opposing things at once.
We control everything and also are a total failure
If only there was a word for people who use arguments like this, when their enemy is weak and strong at the same time
They seem to think it’s quite fashionable.
Welcome to your defence budget.
Hey, I’m just a guy. My defense budget is just a door on the front of my house. Stay mad though ;]
You do understand what I’m getting at right? Your defense budget makes you powerful but takes away… Well pretty much everything else. I hope you escape your programming. Stay awkward though :》
Ah okay I’ll have a talk with my defense budgeter and get that sorted.
Lol no, you are powerless and just have to suffer. Stay salty.
Yeah… these posts make me wonder if I shouldn’t switch back to reddit. The app may be shittier but atleast the memes are actually funny
TRUUUUE
This is Memes. I browse my local instance to avoid politics, all I get there are gay memes. But there aren’t enough 😂
Well, when the shoe fits…
Plot twist: he realizes he was born in the wrong body and wants to be called Karen from now on.
Billy Madison explored this a little bit when he made it to high school. Pretty much any movie where someone goes back to high school does this. 21 Jump Street was mentioned by someone.
I’ve seen three shows basically try to make this joke. Somebody from an earlier time comes to now and can’t adjust to the political correctness. Clone high did it, Futurama did it, and I think another show I watched as well. It’s pretty played out already.
Dr Who did it, but in a very weird way. they made thr first Doctor kinda sexist, which fits the time, but not thr character, because he wasn’t really sexist in his time even by our standards.
I should rewatch Kimmy Schmidt
That worked because Kimmy was delightful, bright and lovable.
And unBREAKABLE
“They alive, damnit!”
It’s a MIRaclllleee
Also, Carol Kane is a goddamn national treasure.

You just described season 2 of Clone High
I worry the bully would probably be more accepted in such a situation.
‘He only acts like this as a result of intergenerational childhood trauma and fat shaming, he’s a good kid at heart’
Wouldn’t surprise me. I had somebody arguing that rapists and murderers were all capitalism’s fault last week.
They had that in the 80s, too.
