Austin Powers was made approximately as long ago as Austin spent frozen. - eviltoast

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997… which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.

    I mean, art isnt created in a vacuum. I suppose I’m watching it through the lense of someone who isnt 13 too.

    I dont think any of them became bad jokes but I definitely think some of the jokes are a bit more “potentially offensive” today than just lighthearted fun.

      Nope.

      Just watched them all a few weeks ago, still very funny, see nothing wrong with any of it. The movies are all about absurdity.
