Hey! Me again in this thread. Wanted to watch Knocked Up after we watched 40-Year-Old Virgin last week. Is this a good movie and it is funny?
I still to this day can't get over the scene about the 5 different hotel chairs.
The two Paul Rudd scenes for me in this movie, would be the five different hotel chairs, and the commentary about his kid enjoying bubbles, and I will never be that happy again in life.
It’s the best media depiction of being on mushrooms I’ve ever seen
Me and my friend always theorized that Paul was essentially just doing an exaggerated Judd Apatow impression as the rest of the family is played by Judd’s actual wife and kids lol
I’m pretty sure I’ve read that “Knocked Up” and “This is 40” are loosely auto-biographical for Judd Apatow.
Paul Rudd’s Robert DeNiro impression in this movie was very memorable lol
☹️ These shoes??
Not wrong, his character might be the best in this movie. Might watch This is 40 cause of it
40 year old virgin is one of my favorite movies with Paul Rudd as well
This is 40 is seriously a great movie
Is it? I know it’s a spin off
It's better than knocked up for sure. Knocked up was just another Rogen raunch comedy. Not bad but not much to it besides telling funny insults.
This is 40 is a seriously funny view of family and adulthood.
Cool! I’ll prolly end up watching that with my gf at some point
Enjoy, good date night movie!
Just watched this is 40 recently. It's great.
She said my son looked like Tom Petty, in a negative way.
I have very high nipples!
Speaking of scene stealers. The outtakes of that scene is something special.
That short interaction is the whole movie as far as my memory is concerned.
I touched your shoulder!
"Who's Tom Petty?"
I think it’s okay, idk why I just don’t think it’s as funny as other movies from around this time
I still say “Honey we got Matsui” completely out of context to my wife.
I gotta go with Forgetting Sarah Marshall for the best Paul Rudd of his career. Dude was so funny in that.
I wonder if the carpet matches her pubes
“When life gives you lemons, fuck that shit and bail.”
"Yew sound like yuh fram lundun!"
Ok monster man.
“The weather outside is weather.”
You look like Babe Ruth’s gay brother, Gabe Ruth.
His reaction after getting chewed out at the birthday party is one of my favorite things in any movie. One of the most brilliant pieces of comedy out there.
Charlene Yi in knocked up will always make me laugh. She's a minor character but I crack up at her little one liners.
"You must be angry at the baby whenever it steals your food, huh. Ohh that's mine, not yours. But, you know, because you're family you gotta share." She's such a burnout and it epitomizes my highschool friends so much 😅
I think Seth is a funny guy and Paul rudd is amazing.
It's a funny movie overall
Haha. Love that line and her next one:
"Oh, aren't you scared? The way it's gonna come out of your...It's gonna hurt a lot I bet. Your vagina...That's so sick."
I have probably said to every one of my friends who were pregnant.
She was pretty funny in this movie lol “Wanna Switch Boyfriends…? Just kidding, kind of” 😂😂
For millennials like me it's a classic and it was critically and commercially very successful.
I've noticed a lot of gen z not really like Seth "Rogan" though for whatever reason.
Don't listen to the haters. It was prime Judd Apatow and the soundtrack is killer.
...why did you put "Rogan" in quotes?
If that is your real name!
"why did you put 'presence' in quotes? Are you implying that we aren't here?"
Role Models was super underrated IMO.
GAME FACE, BRO
Bang bang bang the drum bro
Such a great film
What did you have for dinner?
Was it cocaine?
Happy "Cake" Day!

Kids listen to Joe Rogan? You’d think they’d have enough of their grandpa’s new ideas from Thanksgiving and Facebook
I think comedy tends to not age super well and a lot of it is in the moment type stuff.
Like I Love You Man was about a guy who has no friends who has to make friends so that he has people actually standing at his wedding. Today that topic is a lot more sad with the male loneliness epidemic so perhaps the topic isn't super funny.
Whatever dood. That movie is still funny.
"wait, you jacked off to a picture of your own girlfriend? Oh man, that's sick!".
I love you man was amazing at the time. But I was younger and had more friends. Now I’m older with less friends so maybe less funny 😀
Men were lonely back then too thats part of the appeal, an opportunity to laugh at our own pain and it’s heartwarming
Soooo roneryyy
Right. Dudes just didn’t make up a cute name to collectively blame for their problems
I Love You Man is still great.
Nah. That makes it funnier. Learn to laugh at the pain.
Blazing saddles and animal house are 50 yrs old and still hold up.
Hell yes. The mushroom / Vegas/ hotel room chair scene is an all timer for me haha
That’s a good way to get pink eye
Funny movie!
Absolutely funny and good.
- The improv insults between rudd and rogen are gold,.
- The scenes at rogen first house with his roomates are hysterical.
- The scene where they open the door and everyone has pink eye.
- when the one roomate loses the bet and he cant bathe or shave. Seth calls him yousef (cat stevens) deep cut hysterical.
Knocked up is the millennial generation's equivalent to GenX's Caddyshack. quotable, genuinely funny and one that everyone stops to watch if it comes on.
I don't know if it's only in the extended cut, but the scene where Jonah is telling off Jay for leaving his pube trimmings on the toilet seat cracks me up every time. The unhinged way he shouts "You embarrass yourself!" is just a perfect button on that exchange.
I think it’s also a deleted scene where they all get pink eye from farting on each other’s pillows.
I don’t think either of those are deleted scenes, I remember them from the theatrical version.
As a millennial I agree. I went to see this in the theater when it came out and sat directly behind 5 of my high school teachers that were all extremely 'knocked up' at the time. Like they were all about to have their babies at any minute type of knocked up, which I think made it even funnier for me.
My friend and I laughed our assess off in the theater watching this. I recall thinking it was the funniest movie I’d seen that year.
I recall the theatre experiece of this and 40 Year Old Virgin. Both packed theatres and prrtty hilarious.

I love the second half. The Paul Rudd / Leslie Mann stuff is hilarious.
So good that they spun them off into this is 40
"I got Matsui!"
Yeah, I felt the movie was loooong. It had its moments, but was a miss for me.
That was a common theme for the ones apatow wrote and directed. If it was one or the other, or he just produced, you had a better chance of leaving at a decent hour.
Hilarious at the time… haven’t seen it since so not sure
Yeah it’s consistently funny with some genuinely big laughs sprinkled in. It’s not quite Superbad or This Is the End level, but I’d put it just below those ones. I think 40 Year Old Virgin is more front loaded with its jokes.
This movie was good, just not as funny as other ones from around the time
Amazing movie
It’s hilarious
Fucking hilarious. Great movie.
Heigel doesn’t gel well with all the heavy hitter improvs.
I don’t think that’s a bad thing though cause she’s supposed to be a bit of a stick in the mud
I think that’s what makes it work so well. It was actually a perfect casting given her character was SUPPOSED to be a Katherine Heigl esque person
Katherine Heigl makes it less rewatchable
My husband and I watched this when it first came out. It turned out to be a great couple movie for us. There have been very few movies that we agree on
I love jay baruchels delivery of “somebody wants another PIECE!”
"She like-a the way your dick taste" still kills me
A quote my best friend and I virtually daily - we are both married, with children, and I have been slapped in the back of the head by my wife on MULTIPLE occasions for saying that to him in non appropriate settings
Yes
Hilarious.
One of my favorite comedies of all time actually. Heartfelt and hilarious at the same time is hard to pull off, but this is up there with the 40 year old virgin for me.
Basically: Superbad But with a somewhat older, more mature storyline. I loved it, almost as much as Superbad!
I let my wife pick the movie before our proposal dinner. This was her pick. It’s a good movie but it’s inappropriate place in our memory is what sticks.
Comedy changes , what was funny may offend the present, sometimes it’s a time capsule. I’m sure half of the original HBO Kids in the Hall sketches would be considered “hate speech” by today’s audiences
yes
Yes, it’s funny. No, it’s not very good.
I still think Nine Months is a better movie with a similar plot. But i still think it’s worthy of a watch.
Yes
Very nostalgic. Lived exactly like that in that time. Very fun times.
Very funny movie!! A classic!
Hilarious movie
Seth Rogan is far better behind the scenes than on screen. Overall an okay comedy.
I’m a huge Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen fan always have been. I’m basically the same age as Seth. So I have been around to see his career grow from the beginning. And literally the first words that came out of my mouth when reading your post was not really. 
Yeah this movie was okay. Had a couple laughs here and there
I watched it for the first time recently. Avoided it because I didn't want to watch a "pregnancy movie". I throughly enjoyed it and had some good laughs!
The little,stoned Asian chick is what I remember from that movie...and 'pink eye' ! ;)
It’s not a drama, I’ll tell you that.
‘I wanna put you in my Time Machine and gun it to 88’
Who needs a Time Machine!
I like the way you move
i randomly yell out "YOU'RE A DOOR MAN!!"
One of the funniest films ever made, personally.
They’re all funny. Just watch all of their movies.
I still think it's a solid movie. The writing, dialogue, and acting were well done and I like that type of comedy(Superbad, 40 y/o Virgin, etc.). I thought it was a pretty good depiction of the modern, unconventional relationship too. Unexpected pregnancy from a one night stand, they try to make it work, they have struggles, they're not ready but learn to grow into parenthood, etc.
It was definitely a cute movie
Yep.
Dont let him near the kid he wants to rear your child.
It’s a perfect film.
Very funny because it’s true
Everything this group of people made me laugh back in the day. I have not seen it in a long time, so I don't know if it holds up, but for its time, I really enjoyed it.
A horror movie
I googled murder…
IMO it's one of those movies with funny slacker guys and not so funny bitchy women. When the guys are talking, it's a comedy, when the women are talking, it's a drama.
Very good
Yes
One of those early 2000’s comedy with a raucous first half then slows down immensely in the second half.
Zack and miri make a porno needs to be your next watch if you haven't seen it already
I really didn’t like this movie.. not funny..
Clearly a horror
I love it
The only reason I still think is kinda funny is because I know someone named Ben Stone, but he has his shit together.
One of my favourites, watched it a million times as a teen
See it just for Craig Robinson. I promise
I hated it. I liked all the actors and thought it would be good. I just couldn't get into it, never tried again.
Oh man, I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to ask me this question. No. No I do not.
Hilarious movie! Thanks for posting- my SO and I are gonna go watch it again and report back whether it was funny as we remember!! ✌️📺🍿
Let me know!
Yeah it held up! I love so much about this movie. The characters, the situations, the dialogue, all super funny!!
I’m glad you liked it!!
I consider it hilarious. However I am old and saw it in theatre when it came out so maybe nostalgia 🤣
HILARIOUS
It's funny.
Love it
Yes
It's a better movie than it is a comedy. Still has some great funny scenes and a good story
It’s ok. Just a really long movie.
One of my favorite movies ever! Hilarious.
It’s pretty good. Not amazing but good.
I watched it for the first time yesterday and liked it, even if I actually couldn’t stand Rogan’s character or a lot of the humor. I think I just outgrew stoner humor a decade ago though (and that his character reminds me of a guy I knew in high school a bit too much for comfort).
The movie felt like the epitome of what comedies were doing at the time and, following the oversaturation of movies that did the same basic schtick (shoot with three cameras to cover as much improv as you can), it falls a little flat. It’s a good movie, but good lord did it need a tighter edit that removed some of its cameos and riffs that went for too long.
That said, Rudd and Mann are so good in it. In fact, I only watched it for them (as I remember liking This Is 40 when I caught it on cable years ago and wanted to rewatch that). Which is hilarious because their subplot was one of the things that could’ve been tightened up in the first place.
Absolutely not...this is a drama all the way, also indicated by the fact its a 3 part series with 'This is 40' and apparently 'this is 50' at some point.
I’ve seen it 15 times and call it my favorite movie. It has some giggles, but more amusing than funny overall.
It's more of a horror movie than anything.
It's extremely funny
"I like to rock and roll all night, and part of everyday"
- Paul Rudd in Role Models
I love Jason Segel in that movie.
It's a good comedy but, like pretty much every single Judd Apatow movie, it's over 2 hours long and has a lot of padding which makes the film longer than it should be.
Yes 💯!
Hell yea lol
Chick flick in disguise. Guys, don’t be fooled by the tame crude humor.
It was okay in my opinion but way better adult comedies from around that time. Still funny tho.
This came out when I was pregnant. It’s always been a bit of a comfort movie for me. (That, and “Waitress”) No matter how silly and young I felt, it was at least fun to laugh at the absurdity of it. The sequel is pretty fun, too.
It’s a little bit too long, like all of Judd Apatow’s movies, but I adore all of them regardless. I laugh my ass off at “Knocked Up” every single time. Highly recommended! (For the record ,I’m not a 20–something white male stoner either. 55-year-old woman here, but Apatow’s humor just really appeals to me for whatever reason.)
Here it goes:
I watched The 40-Year Old Virgin years ago, and I just recently watched Knocked Up for the first time after not watching it for nearly a decade. While I personally have to admit that I preferred the 40-Year Old Virgin, and I feel like Knocked Up would have been funnier if I had watched it earlier in my life, it is worth a watch, especially if you like Judd Apatow's writing and sense of humor.
Of course
I remember when it came out it was the movie to watch, tons of one liners that were dirty, I was a teen and it is still(in my 30s) up there as a good watch when I want to laugh
Meh
The pink eye scene is eternal.
I have a special relationship with Knocked Up.
I went to a private school in elementary and my sex education was abstinence, sperm lives forever and girls can get pregnant from wearing their boyfriend's shorts. That's it.
Bc of this movie, I found out babies come out the vagina. Until I was 22, I thought the taint "opened up" and the baby came out.
It's not funny.
Laughed my ass off when I saw it in my early 30s.
Not sure if it would still be as funny today since my tastes have evolved. 🤷♂️
fantastic movie. i love This is 40 as well
It was a big moment in the aughts that really legitimized Apatow as the guy who could make you laugh with juvenile stuff while having a slightly more heavier over all story line that could be taken seriously, which he has really been chasing to strike the balance as well since his early successes with that formula
Just watched Knocked Up today. It’s still a good movie. I enjoyed it as much today as I did when I saw it in 2008. Same with 40 Year Old Virgin. That one was great, too.
Door man!
I watched it in theaters whenever it came out; I can’t tell you what it’s about, but I can tell you I do remember watching it AND I remember not hating it, so it’s at least pretty good. Worth a watch, and now I’m gonna go find it
Smishsmorshin
It’s a horror flick for men
Of course,Knocked Up is a classic.Judd Apatow was killing it back then,he had a crazy run and a great team of actors
Yes, it's a great comedy. Maybe it could be argued it leans into romantic comedy more than pure humor, though
Knocked up is hilarious
Absolutely. I have a big soft spot for all the 2000s Apatow movies
Nope. I consider it a hilarious movie
“Heh, that one guy said, ‘don’t let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out’”
Eh
To me something about it seemed so forced
Hilarious movie
Very funny movie. I just couldn't believe Heigl openly shitting on it, like she thought it was so beneath her. Yuck.
I'm a bias Apatow fan, but I really think this is my favorite Seth Rogan film.
It's quite endearing while everyone hired to hit a funny note does so pretty well.
The running gag with Martin Starr get me every time.
mid tier movie with a very 40 year old virgin set up. Was a v forgettable movie imo
Yes٫ especially the Ryan Seacrest scene in the beginning
Amazing lines throughout…
No has mentioned schmoshmorshin yet, so I had to bring it up….
You should do John Hughes movies before Judd Apatow movies.
Vacation movies, Weird Science, Ferris Buellers Day Off, Mr Mom, Uncle Buck, Planes Trains Autombiles, etc
Have you seen all the prime Farrelly Brothers movies (Dumb Dumber, Kingpin, Something About Mary, etc)?
Could watch the John Hughes version of "Knocked Up": She's Having a Baby (1988). Stars Kevin Bacon.
Never seen any of the movies you just listed. I’ll watch them at some point
Omg! You have to see Dumb and Dumber. I'm in shock you haven't. I've seen it probably 40 times and find something new to laugh at every time.

Like all Seth Rogan movies. It’s once and done. No need to see it again.
Has some of the best Paul Rudd of his career, dude stole every scene he was in. Movie overall was decent but not great, had some good funnies though.
