They're All Gonna Laugh At You!
''They're All Gonna Laugh at You!'' is the debut album by American actor and comedian Adam Sandler, released in 1993. The title comes from a repeated line in the track "Oh Mom...", which is itself a parody of a scene in the film '' Carrie''. Several of the tracks on the album feature very adult humor, a departure from the material in his films, which are generally rated PG or PG-13. This is a trend that would continue on his subsequent comedy albums and live tours. In late 2022, the song "At a Medium Pace" received mild internet attention on sites such as TikTok and YouTube, due to a sped-up version of the song sounding like a member of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Production At the time of the recording, Adam Sandler was in the middle of his five-season career at ''Saturday Night Live'' and much of this album was made with the help of his friends from the show. Besides Sandler, the album features fellow ''SNL'' performers Rob Schneider, David Spade, Chris Farley, and Tim Meadows, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
