    What’s the issue with Ace Ventura? I don’t recall any poorly aged jokes or anything like that but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.

      Transphobia was a punchline in basically every 90s comedy.

        Hmm. I remember a lot more gay jokes than trans jokes but I’m sure they were there too.

        To be fair, that scene was just as much an attempt to parody the scene from “The Crying Game”, as it was straight up transphobia. But regardless, it doesn’t sit right today.
