The early 21st century is seen as an exceptionally great time for comedies. It saw the rise of many comedic talents, including members of the famed Frat Pack like Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, and Jack Black, to name a few. It also further elevated the career of Judd Apatow as he wrote, produced, and directed many hit films starring the likes of Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, and Paul Rudd. But next to them, there were also many outliers that still stood out with their own comedic gems.
Despite the mixed reception from critics at the time, Step Brothers found major appeal with audiences. It’s still considered a comedic joy today, mostly due to the comedic banter between Ferrell and Reilly and the many quotable lines: “Did we just become best friends?” “Can we turn our beds into bunk beds?” and “It’s the f***ing Catalina Wine Mixer!”, to name a few.

At the time, Carell was best known for his appearances on The Daily Show and supporting roles in films like Bruce Almighty and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The 40-Year-Old Virgin helped solidify his status as a leading man. The film is also best known for its heavy use of improvised dialogue, which has since become a staple of Apatow’s works, as well as regulars like Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd contributing to the funny supporting cast.
The obvious needs to be addressed: Much of Tropic Thunder has not aged well, from Downey donning blackface to the portrayal of people with disabilities, as well as the perceived antisemitism against Cruise’s characterization. While actions like these are, thankfully, not condoned today, the intention of Tropic Thunder was to lampoon how ridiculous Hollywood culture can get, even today.
