Film Great Movie Trilogies (that aren't actually trilogies)

[Traub]

Waterboy, Little Nicky, Happy Gillmore - the Adam Sandler trilogy.

Nice trilogy, but I'd have to replace Little Nicky with Billy Madison as the better Adam Sandler trilogy.

Idiocracy
Zoolander
Anchorman

Absurdist comedies that predicted modern Western culture in 2019

This brings up another trilogy - the Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson trilogy:
1. Starsky and Hutch
2. Zoolander
3. Meet the parents

(also you can pick two/three/four of Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell to make a trilogy of that era of comedy.)

For some reason Little Nicky is the one I’ve watched most (with those two).

Also Little Nicky has the golf coach in heaven from Happy Gilmore, so they slightly link it.

Great second trilogy there.
