If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997… which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.

    I rewatched the first one a couple years ago and thought it had aged pretty well. I don’t remember any of the jokes being mean or really punching down on anyone.

    I could be forgetting something and I haven’t watched the sequels since they first came out though. My guess would be that Fat Bastard is probably the part of the franchise that aged the worst. Even when he was introduced the whole joke was “hey it’s a fat guy!”, which was one of the weaker jokes.

    I also watched The Pentaverate when it came out and thought that was great. It’s a Netflix miniseries sith very similar humor where Mike Meyers plays like half the characters. It’s a parody of conspiracy theories like the Da Vinci Code, not spy movies, but still pretty good.
