A case of the 80’s "Weekend at Bernie’s"

article image placeholderUploaded by @MrBingo
So our two protagonists, and I kind of use the term loosely decide that they want us to enjoy their weekend, but they also want to create this illusion of their boss being alive. So almost near the run of the movie is about these two guys carrying around their dead boss, pretending he's alive. Now, Hilarity does ensue, even by today's standards, of what may be considered funny, not funny, problematic, what have you

You know, I've never actually seen it, but I've I've it's been referenced so much and other things that I've seen or just, you know, in, like, television gags or literally, like, doing that same theo, same concept of like like oiling around someone who's, like, unconscious or dead or whatever. But yeah, it's time I check out the source material. And you pitch it. Well, so it's kind of a rainy here

I don't know if I could say I grew up in the 80s, but I was born early eighty s, and I definitely remember this movie. I don't remember too many of theo details other than the basic general idea of what it was about. And then it was pretty hilarious and enjoyable to watch

Hey there. Thank you so much for chiming in. I greatly appreciate the chime, the chiming in as well as the Kudos. And this is just one of those movies like it just, you know, we have movies that kind of take us back in a very nostalgic way and kind of makes us happy and reminiscent and this sort of does that, but just in a way where it was like I was a teenager and life was simpler and I was going to live forever

And now, if they were to remake it, I mean, I could still see, like, a dark comedy, but I'm just kind of wondering how they would try to keep it dark and funny without crossing some boundaries. Some people might these days, as far as sensibilities, but also try to not sanitize it because it's funny how in the 80s, we kind of passed this stuff off and we were like, okay, well, this is funny, and stuff like that
