* TrendKiller: Adult-geared sex comedies remained wildly popular for most of the 2000s, but stricter MPAA guidelines post-2010 made it even harder to sneak more intense material. Subsequent attempts at reviving the trend, like ''Film/ProjectX'', have been widely reviled, while 2011's ''Film/BadTeacher'' and the sequels to 2009's ''Film/TheHangover'' were subject to greater scrutiny than previous works. While 2012's ''Film/{{Ted}}'' and 2014's ''Film/Neighbors2014'' gave adult comedy a shot in the arm, its reputation was affected in 2016 by ''Dirty Grandpa''. It did well at the box office, but received such an overwhelmingly negative response that subsequent attempts at adult comedy in the same year either became financial disappointments or outright flops. The slipping box-office numbers (aside from lack of success outside the English-speaking world) largely reduced comedy films to direct-to-video/streaming material with the odd limited theatrical release.
