Hard agree with this. Being more conscious/sensitive about topics as a society doesn’t mean things need to be excluded from comedy entirely. Hell, comedy is what gets me through shit a large portion of the time (it’s the best way to confront a lot of things imo) and lately there’s just nothing funny coming out because it’s all workshopped to try to appeal to everyone.

I was thinking about these earlier after I rewatched American Pie and I was trying to think: is there a movie like American Pie wherein, after chasing sex throughout the entire film, the protagonists don't get laid, and they are OK with it? I appreciate the message some of them try to do wherein it's like "just be yourself and you'll find someone," but I feel like that leads people to think that sex is still a guarantee in the near-future-- or maybe that's just the vibe I get from seeing the premise condensed into a movie's runtime.
I don't think either Cera or Hill's characters have sex. I think only McLovin does. I could be misremembering though, it's been a long time since I've seen it.

Saw No Hard Feelings at a theater yesterday. Enjoyed the strength of Mrs. Lawrence's character. The story hit a number of themes that feel relevant with the times we live in.

Superbad
All three definitely end up successful in the movie.

Even McLovin is interrupted. But they all end up with girls on their arms so to speak.
Booksmart is also in that vein
