Michael* Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Apart from myself, of course. I don't see too many 'raunch' comedies dating particularly well. The humour is really predictable, and probably in about five or ten years' time, people will have quietly moved on. Things from the internet like emojis and a lot of 'mainstream' memes. Perhaps even Twitter, especially hashtags depending on how far it lasts into the next decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotportugal Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I still don't know how Twitter is still around honestly. Snapchat is getting killed by IG, barely no one I know uses Snapchat anymore when like 1 year ago, half of my chats were there. All in the dms now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toodarnhot Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 ^ The majority of my friends still use snapchat and snapchat stories more the IG version. I actually haven't seen a lot of people I know IRL convert to the IG stories- it's mostly models and actors that I follow. "Instagram" make up.

I don't see many of those comedies really aging well either, but then again, I don't think that many of them from any era really age particularly well either. I think each decade or generation has a handful of those types of films that become the classics of the time but then the rest just fade into the background and become largely forgotten with time. I can't really comment with much authority on Twitter or any of those kinds of things as I don't use them myself, but I can't really see Twitter going away too terribly soon. It's just too convenient of a way for people to communicate to a very wide audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanni Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 @toodarnhot I agree. Heavy contouring will be to future generations what 80s style blue eyeshadow is to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anything that's very self-referential or overly reliant on pop culture references as a source of humour. A lot of today's celebrities, politicians and films won't be as relevant to future generations, so the jokes likely won't resonate quite as much. I think with something like Borat, although there's obviously no shortage of gross-out stuff in it, the satirical angle is what really sets it apart.

Very true, and there are two ways in which a film can feel dated, of course. There's the kind that makes you go, "this is stupid, what were they thinking" and the other kind where you might think, "this captures the feeling of its time" instead. Although there are some that could probably fall into both categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly have, although I do think the episodes that give you an honest and sometimes absurd portrayal of life and family (with gags that reinforce that) will be the ones that people consider timeless. A lot of the later stuff was essentially just a stream of gags laid out one after another, which I don't see ageing quite as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Nation Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I can't see "artistic" eyeshadow, e.g. fire-themed or themed around an artwork, lasting into the 2020s. The current craze, with everyone and anyone calling themselves a make-up artist, will make these people look silly when they look back.
