Anyone think teen comedies these days suck compared to the 90s and early 2000s?

There’s a subtle but hilarious running gag through the movie as well where Scotty keeps hearing “Scotty Doesn’t Know” sung in different languages in the different countries he visits. At least once at the absinthe bar in Bratislava off the top of my head.

Eurotrip is one of my favorite underrated dumb comedies for little details like this!

Great video! 🍻

Matt Damon, as the lead singer, is the best part of the song.

I always think of this song when I see Wolverine and Jean Grey in anything.

The early 2000s was truly a magical time for entertainment and music. What a time to be a teen. 🤘🏽😂

Matt Damon's second best role, after Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season

My high school band covered this song at Battle of the Bands, we submitted fake lyrics and needless to say we got disqualified, but those two minutes of my fellow classmate audience going crazy made me feel like a rockstar. Great memory.

A portion of that $20 million box office was mine because I saw this opening day. My expectations were not high for the movie, but when I saw Matt Damon performing that song, I was not expecting the song to have a longer lasting, more memorable legacy than the movie. I just thought it was a brilliant joke with several layers.

Eurotrip still holds up, 20 years later.

Eurotrip is one of my favorite comedies

I was obsessed with this song, and would often randomly sing it to myself. I love that he randomly sings "I did her on his birthday", just to rub salt in the wound. Poor Scotty, though at least his heartbreak inspired a catchy song.

I’m backpacking Europe his summer inspired by watching this movie as a kid, also I heard Matt Damon frequently has “Scotty doesn’t know” sang to him from fans in public, out of all his movies to quote. lol

EuroTrip was FAR better than most of the movies of the time of its ilk. MUCH better than Road Trip for sure!

[lelandunruh]

I spend a lot of time in Europe. To this day, if I bump someone on a train I say "ah, mi scusi, mi scusi" in the most cartoonish accent I can muster. You'd be shocked at how many people get the reference!

One of the most underrated teen comedies.

"Eurotrip" is one of my favorite comedies. If you've been to Europe, every joke is spot on. "Scotty Doesn't Know" is the icing on the cake!

I honestly did not know the movie flopped. I saw in the theaters opening day and the theater was jam-packed

[pricey]

LOL i totally forgot about our former PM's website getting bought and they played the song on it non-stop. Great video

I remember being called into the living room back in the day to watch this movie. That scene was crazy, and you had to see it with all your friends. LOLOL
