10 Jokes In Old Superhero Movies They Wouldn't Get Away With Now

Mystery Men is an underrated take on superheroes, exploring the lives of c-level wannabes living in the shadow of a renowned hero. Most of the gags still hold up today, but a few of the comments from Kel Mitchell's Invisible Boy probably wouldn't make the cut.

The first is a casual aside when he meets Mr. Furious, The Shoveller, and The Blue Raja during their attempts to recruit additional superheroes to their cause. Before he auditions for the trio, he says to his oblivious father, "Hey Dad, I'm going to my room with three strange men."

The less said about that, the better.

Then again, there's the time he lists superheroes he has met, like The Pincer, The Pickler, and Princess Headbutt, before namedropping the duo of "White Flight and The Black Menace."

It's pretty ballsy to discuss race in a throwaway gag, and these days, that would most likely end up on the cutting room floor.
