I was born in 1976 and saw the film in the theater.
I had never watched All That but read a funny review of Good Burger on some website when i was in college. At the time it was playing at the $1 theater and me and my friends went to see it like 4 times.
It is the subtext of the film that really makes it funny and re-watchable.
As this reviewer noted: "Although clean as a whistle, Good Burger is what show-biz moralist Bill Cosby should be excoriating, along with booty comedies. Its black characters resolutely carry on the tradition of the minstrel show, under the guise of kid entertainment." -

"Its black characters resolutely carry on the tradition of the minstrel show" Oh, what baloney. What was Shar Jackson's character like? Meanwhile, what was Ron Lester's like?
Here's what's fair: Everybody gets to be another Lou Costello if he wants. Black or not. -

I don't think age has anything to do with liking a movie. Some people like silly movies that are just for fun, but other people don't.
There were plenty of movies like this made in the 80's.
You like what you like.
