[@Sam_on_YouTube]

I was a high school senior when this came out. Can confirm that once dialup internet was available, there was no longer MUCH need for watching scrambled channels. But dialup was very very slow, so one didn't totally replace the other.

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

Dialup internet was slow, but by 1999 broadband was already widespread. I remember it well because Napster had just taken off and very quickly ran out of hard drive space.

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

@@Sam_on_KZbin That's fair, my parents were early adopters and got cable internet in 1997. I had been into BBSes since the late 80's and my dad was a telecom engineer so we were probably a little ahead of the curve in some technology. The movie was also probably filmed in 1998, and in those days a matter of months could make a huge difference, society was changing fast.

[@88porpoise]

​@@-Ricky_Spanish-By 1999, broadband was becoming available but the vast majority of home internet users. In the US something north of 90% had dialup in 2000 and dialup users peaked in 2001 or 2002. It wasn't until the mid-2000s that broadband became more common than dialup. It is also worth noting that in 1999 only around a third of households had any form of internet.

[@armedwombat6816]

16:15 If I remember correctly, Finch's lies didn't risk getting anyone into trouble who didn't consent being part of them. They just included whatshername and I think some other nonspecific women. Sherman on the other hand lied about having sex with a specific girl, which could have gotten her into trouble, e.g. if her parents were religious nuts. So I'd say that makes Finchs lies better, because he wasn't trying to look better at the expense of someone else.

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

Yeah, I made my own comment about it before I saw this, but it's all about consent (and pre-arranged compensation), versus using someone without their permission, especially in a way that could be a real problem, as you said.

[@88porpoise]

Still gonna go with "kind of skeezy" but in a very different league than Sherman (and the best that can be said about any of them in this movie).

[@LucianDevine]

@@ThatSoddingGamer That's what I think too. They both lied, but only one of them had the consent of the girl involved.

[@4Legacy]

I just saw some interview with Allison Hannigan where she says she gets uncomfortable and tenses up whenever a fan comes up and starts to quote that line. She said she loved her role, but since she's almost always with her kids, she gets embarrassed that people are gonna finish the quote in front of them.

Bye bye miss american pie 🤘

[@krizwatcher]

You should have added a couple extra sins for Stifler becoming the breakout character of the franchise. Also, a couple more for Stifler's little brother becoming the protagonist of one of the sequels. ALSO also, at least 10 more to yourselves for not taking off a sin for Eugene Levy's character being probably the most present and responsible (if dorky) parent in the entire franchise.

[@dadwithtourettes]

I know the sin is mostly in jest imo per usual but your comment doesn't seem to be and I need to point out that stiffler wasn't the breakout star.... Sean William Scott who ACTED as Stiffler... became a breakout star, he's never been known as a sleezeball dirtbag actor.... he's a seemingly good dude and obviously good actor... his run after this was solid with Final Destination, road trip, Evolution, The Rundown with The rock... role models woth paul rudd.... Goon, a solid lethal weapon short season.... cmon man lol

[@marcruss]

Been waiting on yall to sin this movie for so long please do all the other ones too

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

Been a long time since I watched this, but with 'The Sherminator', I think the key difference is he decided on his own to lie about having sex with that particular gal. Basically, he decided, without her consent, to use her name to inflate his reputation at her expense. The other guy at least paid for a girl to spread rumours about his ability; a mutually beneficial partnership that both parties agreed to.
