It’s time to send a red alert out to annoying douche bags who think they’re funny all over the world: Hitfix has broke the news tonight that comedic actor Mike Meyers has closed a deal to make a fourth Austin Powers movie. I understand that it’s been a long time since you’ve had a chance to bust out the impression. Somewhere around 1999 it started to get a little bit passé to do the Austin Powers voice. Somehow, the reaction you got from asking people if they made you horny started to dwindle from all out guffaws to polite chuckles. I know; I didn’t understand it either. But luckily, it didn’t matter. That summer the character of Austin Powers was back in The Spy Who Shagged Me, and this time Meyers brought one of his tried and true Scottish accents to the party and introduced the character of Fat Bastard to the world. Suddenly, the best way to get a quick laugh at a social gathering was to tell people that you ate a baby, and all was right with the world.

Congratulations, Mr. Tarantino! We officially think this whole Inglorious Bastards thing is one big prank. Call us when you cast Larry the Cable Guy as Luftwaffe Commander #9.

Remember back to a time when you first saw Austin Powers and all the jokes were funny? Neither do we.
