Full Video Transcript
0s: The parody movie is a sub genre of
2s: comedy film that has been around since
4s: the birth of cinema. Beginning in 1905
7s: with the release of the movie The Little
9s: Train Robbery, a parody of the 1903 film
13s: The Great Train Robbery.
15s: See what they did there? And over the
17s: next few decades, parody would become
20s: more and more commonplace. But then, the
23s: new millennia came. By the mid-2000s, we
26s: were getting parody movies every year.
28s: So, like I've done multiple times on
31s: this channel before, I decided to relive
34s: that part of my childhood. I watched 13
37s: parody movies back-to-back over the
40s: course of a single weekend. Starting
43s: with Scary Movie in 2000 and ending with
46s: Vampires Suck in 2010. And let me tell
49s: you, man, this was this was rough. So,
52s: today I'm ranking them worst to best,
55s: tier list style. I wanted to see which
57s: ones still hold up and which ones should
60s: be buried even deeper. Because there are
63s: a few of those in this video. So, strap
65s: in because this one's a bumpy ride. And
67s: hey, man, if you enjoyed one of these
69s: movies that I ended up hating, I'm not
71s: going to judge you for that, man. We all
73s: have different opinions.
76s: Psych. If any of you actually enjoy
79s: Disaster Movie in any way, shape, or
81s: form, stay the [ __ ] away from me.
86s: >> [music]
93s: >> For day one, I watched three movies.
96s: These movies were the ones that really
98s: set the bar for the parody genre during
101s: the 2000s and are a big reason why we
104s: got so much trash later in the decade.
108s: But before we get into the cinematic war
111s: crimes that will soon be featured later
113s: in this video, let's start where parody
116s: actually made sense.
118s: >> But wait, Dish wall.
120s: >> Scary Movie is a send-up of late '90s
122s: slasher horror films, especially Scream
126s: and I Know What You Did Last Summer,
127s: among other movies from the time. A
130s: group of dumb teens accidentally kill
132s: someone and so a knock-off Ghostface
135s: kills them one by one. So, I'm not going
137s: to get too deep into the plot. If you've
139s: seen Scream, [music]
141s: you know how this one ends, apart from
143s: that one twist at the end, which is one
145s: of my favorite twists in all of movie
148s: history. I'm not even kidding, man. It's
151s: The Sixth Sense,
152s: The Usual Suspects,
154s: uh Officer Doofy.
157s: All right, argue with a wall. I think
159s: this movie works so well because it was
161s: so contemporary for its time. They were
164s: referencing movies that released only a
168s: couple years before Scary Movie. So,
170s: films such as The Blair Witch Project
173s: and Scream were very fresh in people's
175s: minds and seeing such a quick turnaround
178s: for parody was just not really done
180s: before. A lot of the jokes in this movie
183s: still land, even if some haven't aged
185s: all that well. I always go back to the
187s: beauty pageant scene. That one always
190s: got me back in the day, as well as when
192s: the character Buffy essentially kills
195s: herself for Ghostface. I just thought
198s: those were some pretty dumb, funny
200s: moments. It's stupid in the best kind of
203s: way. I especially love the Blair Witch
206s: parody they do. It is a bit gross, but
208s: it's ultimately playing into the
210s: absurdity of that movie. So, I can't
213s: knock it for that. This movie made Anna
215s: Faris a household name, especially for
218s: the time. She was, honestly, the perfect
221s: lead for these movies. I can't picture
223s: them with anyone else as Cindy Campbell.
226s: Every character is a clear stereotype
229s: from the movies they parody. SNL alum
231s: Cheri Oteri, plays a parody of Gail
235s: Weathers. Sherri Oteri plays a parody.
238s: That's a tongue twister. But ultimately,
240s: this is a parody movie firing on all
243s: cylinders. It's smart enough, it's
245s: stupid enough, and it's very much a
247s: product of its time.
249s: In the best way possible. Next up, we
252s: jump from slasher horror to 27-year-olds
256s: playing high school students. And no,
258s: it's not Euphoria, it's not another teen
261s: movie. Not another teen movie, dude. Not
264s: another.
265s: >> That's just way too much information for
266s: me, Katherine.
267s: >> It's essentially a blender mix of late
270s: '90s rom-coms, especially She's All
273s: That, 10 Things I Hate About You, and
275s: American Pie. This was one of the movies
278s: I had never seen before recording this
280s: video, and I was pleasantly surprised at
283s: how much I really enjoyed this movie.
286s: The movie is about a football jock
288s: played by Chris Evans, who makes a bet
291s: with one of his friends that he can turn
293s: the weird nerdy girl into prom queen.
295s: Except her weird and nerdy is
299s: essentially her glasses and the ponytail
302s: she has. And that's kind of the humor
304s: that is used throughout this movie. It's
306s: very tongue-in-cheek. The cast itself is
309s: actually pretty stacked. Chris Evans is
311s: the football jock before he was Captain
314s: America. And Jaime Pressly from My Name
317s: Is Earl is here as one of the popular
318s: girls before all the Margot Robbie
321s: comparisons. Which I mean, come on,
324s: dude, they're the same [ __ ] person.
326s: Eric Christian Olsen is in this movie as
329s: one of Chris Evans' friends. Ted Mosby
331s: from How I Met Your Mother has a small
333s: bit part in this movie. I was honestly
335s: surprised at how many faces I actually
338s: recognized in this movie, which is
340s: always fun, man. You're just watching it
342s: like Leo in Once Upon a Time in
345s: Hollywood. Just, 'Oh, oh, holy [ __ ] I I
348s: know that guy. The opening scene in this
350s: movie is absolutely insane. You start
353s: off with the weird nerdy girl the day of
356s: her birthday. She's just woken up and
358s: she's about to do do some deeds to
361s: herself. That's the best way I can put
364s: it without being too graphic. But then
366s: her parents enter in the middle of the
368s: act and she has to hide it. And
370s: immediately I thought, oh, this is going
372s: to be for shock value. But the way more
375s: and more people enter the room and the
378s: more increasingly innocent the person is
381s: makes it genuinely funny for me. My
383s: favorite recurring joke in this movie is
386s: the Amanda Beker bit where this girl,
388s: Amanda Beker, will enter any room and
391s: suddenly the music will change and every
393s: background actor is just looking at her
396s: and staring silently.
398s: >> What's going on?
399s: >> Can't talk until she starts moving
403s: again.
404s: >> It's such a simple, dumb bit, but it
406s: works. It just it works for this movie.
409s: Throughout this movie we follow a trio
412s: of underclassmen and their scenes do
414s: take away from the main focus of the
417s: film, but honestly that didn't matter to
419s: me at all. I really love the references
422s: they did with those guys, especially the
424s: Breakfast Club one. Some of the jokes
426s: are very much a product of their time,
429s: but overall this is a very funny movie
431s: and really not as gross as it could have
434s: been. Let's move on. To close out day
436s: one, we're going back to a familiar
438s: franchise, Scary Movie 2.
443s: In this movie the gang is now in college
446s: and get invited to a fake sleep study at
448s: a haunted mansion, which obviously turns
451s: into ghosts, demons, a possessed clown
454s: doll, and one big old weed plant.
458s: Nice, dude. Most of the original cast
460s: returns with a few notable additions. We
463s: now have Francis from Malcolm in the
465s: Middle, Tim Curry from a lot of [ __ ]
468s: back in the day, and David Cross from
471s: Mr. Show. But what is probably the most
473s: notable performance from this movie is
476s: Chris Elliott as the caretaker. Dare I
478s: say the most recognizable part. Where
481s: the first movie focused on the recent
483s: horror hits, this one leans more into
486s: films such as The Exorcist, Poltergeist,
489s: The Amityville Horror among more from
492s: that era. This movie took 9 months for
495s: them to complete. That means from the
497s: start of writing the script to when they
500s: released it to theaters, which is half
502s: the time they had for the first movie.
505s: This could explain why a lot of this
507s: movie feels a bit rushed, especially
510s: towards the end of this movie when
512s: they're in the basement running around
514s: looking for the ghost with no clear
516s: direction. There's even a bit that's
518s: reused from the first movie. But again,
521s: I can't blame them because even with all
523s: that chaos of the production, it's still
526s: a very fun and funny movie to watch. I
529s: wouldn't say it's as memorable as the
531s: first movie, but it definitely has its
534s: moments. The plot itself is very easy to
537s: follow, which is a blessing if you
539s: compare it to the chaos that'll be shown
542s: to you later in this video. I'm talking
544s: about you, Disaster Movie. What the [ __ ]
547s: even was your plot? As far as the jokes
549s: themselves, a lot still land. The fight
552s: scene with the stop-motion cat is a
554s: personal favorite of mine. I also love
556s: the recurring bit of the parrot that
558s: talks back to everyone. There's that one
561s: scene where Anna Faris gets told to shut
563s: up by Vitamin C through the radio, and
566s: the big old weed plant dude.
569s: >> [snorts]
569s: >> So sick. I actually love that scene.
572s: Overall, Scary Movie 2 is like a warm
575s: blanket. You know exactly what you're
577s: getting, which is comfort and a good
579s: time. Is that what a warm blanket is? I
582s: I feel like that's what a warm blanket
583s: is. Feels like a good analogy to me. I
586s: don't know. Let's not think about it too
588s: much. Moving on. Day one was ultimately
591s: a very enjoyable experience. I finished
594s: up at around 1:00 a.m. Tired, but happy.
598s: But then I remembered something very,
600s: very haunting. Tomorrow,
602s: >> [music]
602s: >> my nightmare begins. And it all starts
605s: with two guys, Friedberg and Seltzer.
611s: Let's talk about them.
613s: at the UCSB.
616s: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are
618s: two Hollywood writers who first met each
620s: other at college at the University of
623s: California, Santa Barbara. But neither
625s: of these guys majored in film. What
628s: ultimately changed their mind was a
630s: class that they took together about
632s: Martin Scorsese. And they were so
634s: inspired that they said, 'You know what?
636s: This is what I want to do for the rest
638s: of my life.' And so they did. They
640s: became comedy writers. They got an early
642s: win writing the 1996 Leslie Nielsen
646s: movie Spy Hard. But the only reason that
648s: ever came to be was because Jason
651s: Friedberg's dad had directed Leslie
653s: Nielsen a couple years prior in a golf
656s: training video. So yeah, these guys are
659s: nepo babies, or at least nepo baby
662s: adjacent. But after the success of Spy
664s: Hard, their careers ultimately started
667s: to die down. Writing dozens of scripts
669s: throughout the late '90s that ultimately
672s: went nowhere. And then came their big
674s: break, a writing credit on Scary Movie
677s: 1. But the thing is, they never actually
680s: worked on the Scary Movie script. In the
682s: late '90s, their ex PR manager told them
685s: that there was a rumor going around that
687s: the Wayans brothers were writing a
689s: parody of the movie Scream. And because
691s: of this, both Friedberg and Seltzer
693s: began to work on a spec script called
696s: Scream If You Know What I Did Last
698s: Halloween. The only reason they wrote
700s: the script in the first place was for
703s: leverage, and ultimately that business
705s: model ended up working for them because
708s: once Scary Movie was announced, the
710s: studio behind it saw Scream If You Know
713s: What I Did Last Halloween and decided to
715s: buy it just to bury it. But because the
718s: studios had bought the spec script, that
720s: was enough for the Writers Guild of
722s: America to say, 'You know what? They
724s: deserve writing credits.'
726s: >> There was another team
727s: >> Scary Movie.
728s: >> They wrote the first draft, correct?
729s: >> No, they did not. They did not. We did.
731s: >> And Miramax had bought their script to
733s: take it off the market, and they tried
734s: to say that we took [ __ ] from their
735s: script, which is [ __ ] They never
737s: went on the [ __ ] set with us.
738s: >> even know where we shot it.
739s: >> And so the guild arbitrators
741s: and I won.
742s: >> Yeah. Here's what happened.
742s: >> So our old manager, he's like, 'What are
744s: you working on?' I said, 'Well, I got
746s: this idea. I want to make fun of
748s: Scream.' He's like, 'Oh, that's a
749s: [ __ ] excellent idea.' He leaves Gold
751s: Miller 3 months later. He [ __ ] took
754s: my idea and gave it to two those [ __ ]
756s: dudes, and they were writing my idea at
759s: the same time as I was writing [ __ ]
761s: Scary Movie.
762s: >> And because of this writing credit on
764s: Scary Movie, studios around Hollywood
768s: looked at these two and said, 'You know
770s: what? Give them their franchise of some
772s: of the worst parody movies of all time.'
775s: But the parody movies these two made on
778s: their own are barely considered parody.
781s: What I like to call them is recognition
784s: humor, which is essentially a very
787s: surface-level reference to another movie
790s: from that time. All four of them run you
792s: about 80 minutes, but if you take out
794s: the end credits, that's another 15
797s: minutes being shaven off. So
799s: essentially, they're only just over an
802s: hour long. And when you do get jokes,
804s: they're lazy, mean-spirited, gross,
807s: offensive, and aggressively unfunny, and
810s: sometimes
812s: all at once. And for some reason,
814s: they actually made money. For context,
817s: Step Brothers was released the same year
820s: as Epic Movie, and Epic Movie made a
823s: better profit at the box office.
826s: I'm not kidding about that. So, with all
829s: that in mind, let's dive into their
831s: movies for day two.
835s: >> [sighs and gasps]
837s: >> Day two.
839s: The long haul. For this day, I watched
842s: seven movies, and [music] four of them
844s: were some of the worst pieces of media I
847s: have ever seen [music] created ever.
850s: With a combined Rotten Tomatoes score of
853s: 12% [music]
854s: over four movies, I was about to
856s: encounter what I like to call the four
859s: horsemen of the parody movie apocalypse
863s: of the mid-2000s.
865s: But that doesn't really have a ring to
867s: it. When I was planning out this video,
869s: these were the four movies I was
872s: dreading to watch the most, [music]
874s: because I remember how bad they were and
877s: knew for a fact they weren't going to
878s: hold up. And boy, let me tell you
880s: something, I was I was right in that
883s: observation. These movies are
886s: aggressively bad. They're the kind of
888s: movie you watch, and during your watch
890s: of them, you think to yourself, 'Wow, I
893s: am actually not only wasting my day, I'm
896s: wasting my life doing this.' So, with
899s: all that in mind, let's head into day
902s: two.
903s: Starting with the four horsemen of the
906s: parody movie apocalypse of the
908s: mid-2000s. God, I really need to work on
911s: that that phrasing. First up, Date
914s: Movie. The infection starts here, and
917s: your boy is patient zero.
920s: It's terminal.
921s: >> [clears throat]
922s: >> Date Movie is a spoof of romantic
924s: comedies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding,
927s: Bridget Jones's Diary, and Shallow Hal.
929s: We follow Alyson Hannigan from How I Met
932s: Your Mother fame playing a quote ugly
934s: fat girl no one likes because she's ugly
937s: and fat, end quote.
940s: Off to a really great start with this
943s: one, guys. She ends up skinny and
945s: pretty, meets a guy, competes with his
947s: evil ex-fiancée, and in she gets
951s: married. This movie, along with other
954s: Friedberg-Seltzer movies, is absolutely
957s: obsessed with being mean. The first half
960s: of this movie is fat phobic to a severe
963s: degree. And when the jokes aren't
965s: mean-spirited, they're just random lol
969s: XD humor. It's just like, 'Hey, can we
972s: hire an actor to impersonate Napoleon
975s: Dynamite and Owen Wilson?' 'Oh, we can?
977s: Have him say a line in the movie.
979s: That'll get a few laughs out of someone,
981s: maybe. I don't know. I don't know how to
984s: write comedy.' Most of the humor in this
987s: movie is just vague references to
989s: rom-coms without adding anything from
992s: those movies. Tony Cox plays a dating
995s: coach named Hitch, and that's all they
997s: really do with the Hitch name or
1000s: reference. It's like, 'Oh, this guy's
1002s: Hitch. Get it? Like Will Smith.' That
1004s: felt That felt a little racist,
1007s: honestly. There's a wedding planner
1009s: named Jello, and she's a Latina woman
1013s: with a BBL essentially. Oh, get it?
1015s: J-Lo, Jello.
1020s: Huh, instead of Taco Bell, they go to
1022s: Taco Butt. That's actually kind of
1025s: funny. I'm not I'm not
1026s: I'm sorry, dude. I'm sorry. There is one
1029s: scene where they're in a house and
1032s: there's a cat [ __ ] on the toilet
1034s: with a newspaper. And that's about as
1036s: creative as the jokes get in this one.
1039s: The ex-fiance subplot kind of shows up
1042s: out of nowhere during the second act of
1045s: this movie, and it really feels
1047s: shoehorned in. It was like, 'Hey, uh we
1049s: got to have a conflict in this movie.'
1052s: Now, admittedly, there were a few
1054s: misdirects that got a slight nose exhale
1057s: out of me, but even those jokes were
1059s: offensive and cruel. I did not feel good
1062s: watching this movie, and frankly, I have
1065s: no desire to ever watch it again, so uh
1069s: time to move on.
1071s: Epic Movie is a parody spoof that made
1074s: almost $90 million
1076s: at the box office because apparently the
1080s: average American soul is unsaveable.
1083s: Four orphans, each drift from a
1085s: different box office head, find golden
1088s: tickets to Willy Wonka's factory. But
1090s: after Wonka tries to harvest their
1092s: organs for candy,
1094s: don't ask, they escape through a
1097s: wardrobe into a Narnia knockoff. It's
1099s: here where they're supposed to save the
1101s: land, and it all culminates into a big
1104s: battle where a knockoff Jack Sparrow
1106s: kills Jennifer Coolidge. And that's all
1108s: you really need to know. There are a lot
1110s: of scenes in this movie that are just
1113s: unreasonably gross. There's a scene
1116s: where they parody Nacho Libre, and Kal
1119s: Penn's character gets some Doritos blown
1122s: in his face, and when it lands on his
1124s: face, they're wet for no reason. How did
1127s: they get wet? You just blew dry Doritos
1130s: in his face. What is the joke here? What
1133s: are you even trying to do with this? I
1135s: don't want to see that. Who wants to see
1137s: it? Who is this for? Now, unfortunately,
1140s: I do have to admit that there was a joke
1143s: in this that actually made me laugh,
1146s: like genuinely. It was the fight scene
1148s: with Fred Willard's character, and they
1150s: clearly used a very obvious body double
1154s: for him. Like you fully see the guy's
1157s: face. They do not try to cut around it
1159s: at all. But beyond that, most of it is
1162s: just gross or uncomfortable. The whole
1165s: Crispin Glover Willy Wonka scene was
1167s: just disturbing. There's also a sex
1170s: scene with Mystique, which again is
1173s: gross and disturbing. A lot of this
1175s: movie is just hard to look at. Daryl
1178s: Hammond is Captain Jack Swallows instead
1181s: of Jack Sparrow, because of course
1184s: that's his name in this. At one point,
1186s: he does a random rap song about the
1190s: Pirates of the Caribbean. It goes on for
1192s: 2 minutes. There's no real context for
1195s: it. It just kind of happens. Clearly,
1197s: the only reason it's in the movie is
1200s: because they had to pad the run time.
1202s: It's just proof of how lazy these movies
1206s: are. Let's move on. Next up, we have
1208s: Meet the Spartans.
1211s: It's a direct parody of 300. So, if
1214s: you've seen that, you've seen this
1216s: movie.
1218s: Um except that movie is much better, and
1220s: I haven't even seen it. So, uh that's
1223s: all you need to know about this one.
1224s: Obviously, they parody some movies in
1227s: between, but nothing really of note.
1229s: There is a Happy Feet reference at the
1231s: beginning, and it only set the tone for
1233s: how excruciating of a watch this was. To
1237s: be completely honest with you guys, I
1239s: skipped through a lot of this movie
1241s: because it had the same problem as Epic
1243s: Movie, where a lot of the jokes just
1245s: dragged on for way too long. You have
1248s: multiple dance sequences, multiple
1251s: parody battles, multiple fights that go
1254s: nowhere outside of 'Hey, look at this
1257s: reference in 300 times.' There's also a
1260s: yo mama battle that shows up towards the
1263s: end of this movie, and a lot of the
1265s: jokes used in this yo mama battle are
1268s: stuff that you might find impressive if
1270s: you're 10 years old, which only goes to
1273s: show what the target audience is for
1275s: these movies. There's an American Idol
1277s: parody that goes on for way too long. I
1281s: swear to God, it felt like it was maybe
1283s: 10 minutes. The one thing that made me
1285s: laugh in this movie was the fact that
1287s: they did a Sanjaya parody.
1291s: [ __ ] Sanjaya, dude. Imagine going on
1294s: American Idol and this is how you're
1296s: immortalized in media, a [ __ ] cameo
1300s: in Meet the Spartans. And the only
1301s: reason I laughed at it was because of
1304s: how outdated it was. Like there's no way
1306s: they were making this movie and thinking
1308s: to themselves, 'Oh yeah, that Sanjaya
1311s: joke is going to age well. People are
1313s: really going to get that when they watch
1315s: this movie in, I don't know, even 2
1317s: years from now.'
1319s: Why is it Sanjaya, dude? This entire
1321s: movie felt like they were padding
1323s: runtime. These guys don't know when it's
1326s: time to stop beating a dead horse. These
1329s: movies are essentially when you go to a
1332s: family gathering and there's like a
1334s: younger cousin who's trying to make you
1336s: laugh and they don't make you laugh with
1338s: any of their jokes and then suddenly
1340s: they say something accidentally funny.
1343s: So you give a nose exhale or maybe a
1345s: slight chuckle and then they start
1347s: saying that same phrase that made you
1349s: laugh for the rest of the family
1351s: gathering. They'll go up to you like,
1353s: 'Hey, hey, hey.' Uh Bonzo beans. And
1358s: it's like it's it's not funny anymore.
1360s: That's what these movies are. And the
1362s: only reason I know that all too well is
1365s: because I was that cousin around that
1367s: time.
1369s: I wonder what influenced me. It's
1371s: violently gross for no reason outside of
1375s: shock value. It's not fun to watch, it's
1378s: not funny, nor is it entertaining in any
1381s: way. Ultimately, this is a movie made
1384s: for man-children by man-children. And
1386s: frankly, I want to forget that I ever
1388s: watched it in the first place. So,
1391s: let's move on. By this point, the four
1393s: horsemen were beginning to take shape,
1396s: but there was still one movie left. One
1398s: movie so bad, it might be the worst
1401s: thing I've ever seen ever. Let's have a
1403s: talk about Disaster Movie.
1406s: >> Lisa!
1407s: >> Disaster Movie is a cinematic marvel in
1409s: the worst [music] way possible. The
1411s: movie is an end-of-the-world story where
1414s: a group of 20-somethings deal with every
1416s: disaster imaginable. You got
1418s: Cloverfield, 10,000 BC, High School
1421s: Musical, Ella Enchanted, Alvin and the
1424s: Chipmunks, Kung Fu Panda. They're all
1427s: here with zero correlation between them
1430s: other than the fact that they were
1432s: released around this time. Kim
1434s: Kardashian is in this one a year after
1437s: the Ray J tape, which if you think she's
1440s: in it for any other reason beyond that,
1442s: you have no clue the kind of creeps
1444s: we're dealing with here. The opening
1446s: party scene is meant to cram in as many
1449s: references [music] as possible. It's
1451s: hard to even follow what's going on or
1454s: what's happening in the movie. There are
1457s: way more song breaks and dance battles
1460s: in [music] this one as compared to the
1462s: other three. It really felt like there
1464s: was more dance battles than there was
1466s: actual plot. a parody of 10,000 BC at
1470s: the beginning, and they make fun of Amy
1472s: Winehouse. And knowing where her career
1475s: and life ended up after this, it's just
1478s: extremely depressing. Like, what's the
1481s: point of a joke like this if not to
1484s: punch down on someone? If you thought
1486s: the other three Friedberg-Seltzer movies
1488s: were bad, this one takes the cake. It's
1491s: not as gross as the other three movies,
1493s: but what it is is an egregious [music]
1496s: waste of your time. It's not even good
1498s: for a hate-watch. Honestly, avoid this
1501s: one like the plague. After Disaster
1503s: Movie, I had to take a break. I had
1505s: wasted nearly 6 hours of my life
1508s: watching Friedberg-Seltzer movies. 6
1511s: hours I knew I would never get back.
1514s: Watching the sunset while I sat on that
1517s: couch, the existential dread really set
1520s: in. Friedberg and Seltzer had taken
1522s: something from my soul. But the good
1524s: news was the worst was behind me, and I
1526s: was actually excited for the remaining
1529s: three movies on day two.
1532s: I got back to my seat after a long,
1534s: well-earned dinner. So now it's actually
1537s: time to watch something that resembles a
1540s: movie.
1540s: >> Cindy, the news is on.
1542s: >> Scary Movie 3 is where the series
1544s: changed hands. [music] The Wayans
1546s: brothers are now out after citing
1548s: burnout from the second movie, and to
1550s: replace them is David Zucker directing
1553s: and Craig Mazin co-directing and also
1556s: writing. David Zucker was one of the
1558s: co-directors and co-producers for movies
1560s: such as Airplane and The Naked Gun
1563s: series. Craig Mazin initially started
1565s: his career writing mostly comedy movies,
1568s: but what he's most known for now is both
1571s: creating and co-creating the shows Share
1574s: Noble and The Last of Us. Crazy how that
1577s: works sometimes. But the reason I
1579s: mention all this is because this movie
1581s: had some real talent behind it. And
1584s: honestly,
1585s: it shows. The plot is a mix of Signs,
1588s: The Ring, and 8 Mile into one absurd
1591s: storyline. Anna Faris is back as Cindy,
1594s: while Regina Hall is back as Brenda. And
1598s: both of them are just as funny as they
1600s: were in the first two. I'd argue that
1602s: this is Brenda's funniest movie in the
1605s: entire series. Charlie Sheen is in this
1607s: one. He essentially plays Mel Gibson's
1610s: character from Signs, as well as Joaquin
1613s: Phoenix No, it's not Joaquin Phoenix,
1615s: it's Simon Rex. Joaquin Phoenix is not
1618s: in this movie. As well as Simon Rex
1621s: playing Joaquin Phoenix's character from
1623s: Signs. Beyond that, the cast is
1626s: absolutely stacked in this one. You got
1628s: Leslie Nielsen as the president. I mean,
1631s: obviously he's going to be great. This
1633s: is This is his wheelhouse, man. Kevin
1635s: Hart and Anthony Anderson are hilarious
1637s: as Simon Rex's buddies. Even George
1640s: Carlin has a cameo, which was insane. I
1643s: totally forgot about that. Tom Kenny,
1646s: which, you know, is the SpongeBob
1649s: SquarePants, is uh the alien voices in
1652s: this movie, which uh really shocked me.
1655s: >> We must destroy her before 7 days.
1658s: >> I was like, damn, they got everyone for
1660s: this movie, huh? We even get a real
1663s: Simon Cowell cameo from the 8 Mile
1666s: scene. He's doing like an American Idol
1668s: parody, except this one is much better
1671s: than the one in Meet the Spartans. The
1673s: script feels noticeably smarter in
1676s: comparison to any of the Friedberg
1678s: Seltzer movies I watched before.
1680s: Friedberg Seltzer, man, that sounds like
1683s: a a new competitor to White Claw.
1685s: Introducing the new Friedberg Seltzer.
1688s: Now with 7.5
1691s: ABV, so you can watch epic [music] movie
1694s: and completely forget you ever did.
1698s: Simon Rex is absolutely hilarious in
1701s: this movie. Obviously, the 8 Mile scene
1704s: is one of the classic scenes in like all
1707s: of parody from this time. But him at
1709s: Brenda's funeral, as well as when he has
1713s: to break the news [music] to the little
1715s: girl in his family, both scenes just
1718s: delve [music] into chaos so perfectly,
1721s: and that humor is right up my alley.
1724s: >> EVERYONE YOU THE AROUND YOU IS DYING!
1727s: >> Had me laughing way more than I probably
1729s: should have. I guess everything looks
1731s: better when you compare it to four
1733s: pieces of [ __ ] The Signs parody itself
1737s: is spot-on. I watched Signs after
1740s: watching this movie and I couldn't watch
1742s: Signs without laughing. Like the scene
1745s: where they parody M. Night Shyamalan's
1747s: cameo is so good, dude.
1750s: >> Tom, I'll need a ride home.
1751s: >> The flashback scene gets me every time.
1754s: I thought they were just playing that
1756s: up, but they weren't, which makes me
1758s: appreciate the parody itself more. Now,
1761s: granted, not all of it ages well. Again,
1764s: it's still 2003, but I don't know, man,
1767s: most of it does. Next up is another
1770s: movie that I was genuinely excited for.
1774s: Superhero Movie.
1775s: >> I'm not wearing any diamonds.
1777s: >> This one is essentially a straight-up
1779s: parody of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. Except
1782s: this one is Drake Bell and has to face
1785s: off against the villainous Hourglass,
1787s: played by Shooter McGavin himself,
1789s: Christopher McDonald. Well, I never
1792s: thought that it would be so simple, but
1795s: I found a way. As Rick Riker, I became
1798s: the Dragonfly. This one was written and
1800s: directed by Craig Mazin with David
1802s: Zucker as an executive producer. Craig
1805s: Mazin's ability to write and direct
1807s: comedy is on full display here. This
1810s: movie still holds up. All right? It's
1812s: still good. It's still funny. Thank God
1815s: my childhood is still intact. The cast
1818s: itself is very late 2000s. You got Drake
1822s: Bell, you got Kevin Hart, you got
1824s: Christopher McDonald, and Leslie Nielsen
1827s: is Drake Bell's uncle in a much bigger
1830s: role than he was in Scary Movie 3. And
1832s: honestly, thank God because he's great
1835s: in this one, too. Now, before I go any
1838s: further, I do want to mention that yes,
1840s: this movie has not aged well in a lot of
1843s: ways. They do a parody of Stephen
1845s: Hawking which
1847s: >> And then there's all the sex.
1849s: >> is crazy how lore accurate it ended up
1852s: being. I mean, what did Craig Mazin know
1854s: about this guy that we didn't? There's a
1856s: good mix of visual jokes, but the real
1858s: strength is in the one-liners and
1860s: character interactions. The bit with the
1863s: nail gun is an absolute classic. It gets
1866s: me every time.
1867s: >> It's easier than it looks.
1872s: >> Rick Riker accidentally pushing the old
1874s: lady into the tree trimmer is a great
1876s: misdirect. The parody of the Spider-Man
1879s: scene where Spider-Man is almost caught
1881s: by the Green Goblin was also top tier.
1884s: It was stupid, but it was funny. And
1886s: again, a lot of the one-liners really
1889s: make this movie work.
1890s: >> I never married.
1892s: >> Fruitcake?
1892s: >> No, just never met the right woman.
1894s: >> I'm not wearing any diamonds is
1897s: something I will still quote to myself
1899s: to this day. Now, granted, some of the
1902s: jokes and the casting choices made for
1904s: this movie have not aged well at all.
1907s: But beyond that, this is still a very
1909s: strong and focused parody movie. And if
1912s: you said this was your favorite parody
1914s: movie from that time,
1917s: I would not blame you. This one still
1919s: holds [music] up. And because of that,
1921s: my mood was in a much better place than
1923s: it was at the beginning of this day. So,
1926s: thank you, superhero movie.
1929s: I needed it. To close out day two, the
1932s: Wayans family returns with Dance Flick.
1936s: This one is a parody of dance movies
1938s: such as Step Up and Save the Last Dance.
1941s: A girl from the suburbs moves to the
1943s: inner city. It's here where she falls
1945s: for a nerdy street dancer with a debt to
1948s: a gang lord. They end up falling in
1950s: love, teaming up to win a big dance
1952s: competition, and ultimately help fix his
1955s: life. That's pretty much it. Now,
1956s: admittedly, a lot of the humor in this
1959s: one just completely missed for me.
1961s: There's a scene at the very beginning of
1963s: the movie where it's a dance battle and
1965s: one dude just starts pissing on the
1967s: dance floor. There's also a scene where
1969s: one of the side characters ends up doing
1972s: a spinning dance move on her pregnant
1975s: belly and then the baby pops out. That
1977s: just was not funny for me. I'm sorry, it
1980s: wasn't. It felt like it was designed for
1983s: the trailer, like complete trailer bait
1986s: to get people to actually watch it. But,
1988s: there's also jokes in this movie that
1991s: are so absurd that they end up actually
1994s: working. I thought the head slide scene
1996s: at the beginning of this movie was
1997s: actually really funny. Damon Wayans Jr.
2000s: is the lead and easily the best part of
2003s: the movie. There's a scene where he
2004s: blames all the trauma in his life on his
2007s: love interest during what's supposed to
2009s: be a romantic, heartfelt first date.
2012s: It's just gaslighting to the point where
2015s: it's ridiculous. The lead girl's best
2017s: friend and her {quote} little minions
2020s: are another funny side bit. The way she
2022s: just talks trash directly to them and
2025s: they just brush it off like it's
2027s: nothing. It's so aggressively mean at
2029s: times that it actually loops back to
2032s: being funny. But, apart from that, I
2034s: just felt like this movie leaned too
2036s: much on gross out and shock humor.
2039s: There's also a scene where the lead
2041s: actress, who is white, um, does full
2045s: blackface.
2050s: No [ __ ] way they did that. I mean,
2053s: that one was purely like, my eyes were
2056s: bugging out of my head, dude. I did not
2058s: I could not believe what I was seeing
2061s: when that happened. Honestly, I felt bad
2063s: for the actress herself. I doubt she was
2066s: the one who suggested that kind of joke.
2070s: I would hope not. And it's not like she
2072s: was in many movies after this one, which
2075s: only makes me think this did not help
2078s: her career in the slightest. Because
2080s: imagine being a casting director or
2082s: director, and you see her audition, and
2085s: you go, 'Wow, she's really good.' And
2086s: then someone's like, 'Oh, hold up, man.
2089s: Have you seen her in Dance Flick?'
2091s: Do you really want that screenshot being
2094s: circled around Twitter? But, yeah, it
2096s: was not good to see. It was I I felt
2098s: deeply uncomfortable watching that. In
2101s: terms of a plot, uh it's there. It's not
2103s: a smart movie. It's not even that good,
2106s: but it's still funny enough in certain
2109s: ways that if you were to turn off your
2111s: brain and watch it with a few friends,
2113s: you definitely get something out of it.
2116s: And for that, I can't really knock it.
2118s: It's just not as good as some of the
2120s: others. And with that, day two [music]
2123s: was complete. I was officially over the
2126s: hump. I was exhausted, but more
2127s: importantly,
2129s: I was relieved. A weight had been lifted
2132s: off my shoulders. Two weights, actually.
2134s: One named Friedberg, and the other named
2137s: Seltzer. Regardless, I was not done yet.
2140s: I still had three movies I had to watch
2143s: the next day. And to make matters worse,
2146s: the last movie I would watch tomorrow
2149s: was written by two familiar faces. Want
2152s: to guess who? Anyways, enough talking.
2154s: Let's rip this band-aid off and get to
2157s: day three.
2164s: >> [sighs]
2166s: >> I am not excited for this one. Also,
2168s: yes, I did shave the beard.
2171s: Uh it was time. You know how when
2173s: someone is excited for something, they
2176s: may say, 'My expectations [music]
2178s: are through the roof.' Well, for day
2181s: three, my expectations were the inverse
2184s: of that. Except, they weren't in the
2186s: basement. They were at the Earth's core.
2190s: By this point, I wasn't hoping to laugh.
2193s: All I wanted was closure. Closure on a
2195s: marathon that has been going on for far
2198s: too long at this point. So, let's just
2200s: get to it. First movie up, Scary Movie
2203s: 4. All right, a familiar face. At least
2206s: we got that going for it. Hopefully,
2208s: this isn't the worst of the franchise.
2210s: All right, let's let's watch.
2213s: Oh, no.
2215s: It was.
2215s: >> [ __ ]
2216s: >> Anna Faris returns as Cindy Campbell,
2219s: now dealing with the cursed house from
2221s: The Grudge, aliens from the 2005 War of
2224s: the Worlds movie, and two Jigsaws from
2228s: the movie Saw. This is another Scary
2230s: Movie done by both David Zucker and
2233s: Craig Mazin, and because of that, it
2235s: definitely has its moments here and
2237s: there, but it is by far the weakest of
2240s: the four original Scary Movies. Regina
2243s: Hall does return as Brenda. Simon Rex
2246s: also returns, but it's only for a
2248s: flashback scene where he ends up dying.
2251s: And the guy who replaces him as Cindy's
2253s: love interest in this movie is just not
2256s: as funny as his character was. I don't
2258s: know, man. At least Simon Rex's
2260s: character was a bit likable. He
2262s: definitely caused a lot of [ __ ] in the
2265s: third movie, but at least he wasn't
2267s: doing it maliciously. He was just trying
2270s: to do the right thing, even if it meant
2272s: it was [music] the wrong thing to do in
2274s: that situation, because there was
2276s: nothing really redeeming about this
2278s: character Tom. He just seemed like he
2281s: was an [ __ ] and did not want to do
2284s: [music] right by people. So, you were
2285s: never really rooting for him like you
2288s: might have been rooting for Simon Rex in
2290s: the third movie. Plot-wise, it's
2293s: basically nothing. I'm not going to
2294s: stand here and say that the first three
2297s: Scary Movies were anything of note, but
2300s: this one felt especially bad. There's a
2302s: whole scene that's dedicated to a parody
2305s: of M. Night Shyamalan's The Village, but
2308s: it just kind of happens. The only thing
2311s: I really remember from that scene is
2313s: Elizabeth Banks's character is blind,
2316s: and so when they have a meeting in the
2318s: church, she thinks it's an outhouse, and
2321s: yeah, everyone just kind of sits there
2323s: awkwardly. It felt a bit played out,
2325s: especially from all the other movies I'd
2328s: already seen. It wasn't It wasn't
2330s: anything new. Again, the ending itself
2332s: is very stupid. [music] I don't know, it
2334s: just felt like a really lazy way to wrap
2337s: up this movie. But it does have its
2339s: moments. I really like the Dr. Phil and
2342s: Shaq opener. I liked how they made fun
2344s: of Shaq's free throw ability. I did like
2347s: the one scene that Simon Rex was in.
2349s: They made fun of the Million Dollar Baby
2352s: neck snap thing. I thought that was
2354s: absurd enough to work. Leslie Nielsen is
2357s: back as the president, and again, he
2360s: steals the show in every scene he's in.
2363s: The George W. Bush parody they did, that
2367s: was That was insane. The first time I
2369s: watched this movie maybe 15 years ago, I
2372s: did not understand that reference, and
2375s: now I do, and it got me way more than I
2378s: thought it was going to. But in terms of
2380s: the Scary Movie franchise, it's
2382s: definitely very end-of-the-road energy
2386s: here. You can just kind of feel that
2387s: vibe from this movie. It's the weakest
2390s: of the original four, and it's not even
2393s: close. Next movie.
2395s: Stan Helsing is the only movie on this
2398s: list that I had never heard of before
2401s: making this video. And for that reason,
2403s: I was pretty excited to see what it was
2405s: about. And what I got was uh some mid.
2409s: It It was pretty mid. Wasn't as bad as
2412s: the the Friedberg Seltzer movies, of
2414s: course, but it wasn't too far off,
2417s: that's for sure. A lazy video store
2419s: clerk named Stan Helsing goes on a wild
2421s: goose chase with three of his friends on
2424s: Halloween. The group of friends
2425s: eventually find themselves in a haunted
2428s: Halloween town where Stan Helsing learns
2431s: that he's a direct descendant of Van
2434s: Helsing. So now he has to save the town
2437s: from a bunch of knockoff horror movie
2439s: villains, which all culminates
2441s: essentially into a karaoke battle, which
2444s: yeah, man, cool.
2446s: Whatever. This is very much a B movie.
2450s: The budget is clearly way less than any
2453s: of the other movies I've already covered
2455s: and it suffers as a result. It's more
2458s: interested in parotting the villains
2461s: over the actual movies they came from,
2464s: which felt like a missed opportunity in
2466s: my opinion. Felt like they could have
2468s: gotten some easy jokes at making fun of
2471s: how cheesy some of the deaths in movies
2473s: like Halloween or the original Friday
2476s: the 13th [music] looked by today's
2478s: standards. Something like that to give a
2481s: nod to the original movies they're based
2483s: off of instead of just making a knockoff
2487s: version of Freddy Krueger or Jason
2490s: Voorhees. The movie is pretty boring
2492s: overall. Most of the jokes don't really
2495s: land. Some are genuinely disturbing. Not
2498s: even gross out, just flat out
2501s: disturbing. The entire gas station
2503s: sequence was deeply uncomfortable. That
2506s: felt more like horror than horror
2509s: comedy. But despite that, there were
2511s: some moments that got some genuine
2513s: laughs out of me. Like there's one scene
2515s: where Stan ends up beating the absolute
2518s: [ __ ] out of a kid in a hockey mask
2521s: because he thinks it's Jason [music]
2522s: Voorhees and then his entire hockey team
2525s: pops out of a minivan and starts beating
2528s: up Stan. It wasn't the best written joke
2530s: of all time, but it was slapstick enough
2534s: to make me laugh. I think my favorite
2536s: scene in the entire movie is when the
2538s: group of friends encounter a dark
2540s: hallway, and Stan tries to get Keenan
2543s: Thompson's character to go in first, and
2545s: Keenan Thompson just mumbles something
2548s: back incoherently because he's so
2550s: scared.
2551s: >> Go get your phone, Teddy.
2556s: >> I thought that was a genuinely funny
2558s: moment, and as I've said before, at
2560s: least it's not as gross as any of the
2563s: Friedberg Seltzer movies. The bar may be
2566s: in hell, but hey,
2568s: at least this movie clears it. With
2570s: stronger writing, this movie definitely
2573s: could have become a cult classic for the
2576s: Halloween time, but as it is, it's
2578s: [music] just kind of there. It's not
2581s: bad. It's not good. It's not awful. It's
2584s: just forgettable, and that's the movie's
2587s: biggest offense.
2590s: Finally,
2591s: the last movie. Movie 13 of 13, written
2597s: and directed by Jason Friedberg and
2601s: Aaron [music] Seltzer. No!
2606s: Actually, it's not that bad. It's
2608s: actually not a bad It's actually kind of
2610s: good for a parody.
2613s: How did that happen?
2614s: >> You're the Black Eyed Peas?
2616s: >> Vampires Suck is a direct parody of
2619s: Twilight as well as Twilight Part 2, New
2623s: Moon. Becca Crane moves to a small
2625s: Washington town, falls for the vampire
2628s: Edward Sullen, and deals with all the
2630s: [ __ ] from those movies. If you've
2633s: seen any of the Twilight films, you know
2636s: what this movie is about. Twilight is
2638s: already so absurd in its [music] own
2641s: right that it lends itself perfectly to
2644s: parody, and because of that, this movie
2646s: does a pretty good job making fun of the
2649s: source material. The actress who plays
2651s: Becca in this movie nails all of the
2654s: little Kristen Stewart [music]
2656s: mannerisms that always get mocked when
2659s: you think of Twilight. Jokes like that
2662s: are much more subtle and funnier than
2665s: any of the gross-out humor from
2668s: Friedberg and Seltzer's first four
2670s: movies. They still make pop culture
2672s: references.
2673s: >> Do you like the Black Eyed Peas?
2676s: >> But they don't derail the story like
2679s: they do for the other Friedberg-Seltzer
2681s: movies. The main focus stays on Twilight
2684s: and the team Edward versus team Jacob
2687s: feud that was going on during the time,
2689s: which works way better than if a random
2691s: Na'vi from Avatar or Charlie the Unicorn
2695s: or the Annoying Orange just suddenly
2698s: showed up and, you know, tried killing
2701s: Jacob and Edward or something. I don't
2703s: know. So, it was nice they removed that
2706s: joke structure from this movie.
2709s: If you can even call it a joke
2711s: structure. Even the jokes that mentioned
2713s: the Black Eyed Peas and the Jonas
2715s: Brothers were smarter than anything in
2718s: the first four movies.
2719s: >> I know what you are.
2721s: >> Say it.
2722s: >> Jonas brother.
2723s: >> That's right.
2724s: Wait.
2725s: >> I thought the dad character in this
2726s: movie was really funny. The over-the-top
2729s: fight scene in the background while
2730s: Becca friend-zones Jacob is great. The
2733s: scene where Edward uses another student
2735s: as a human airbag to block the car got
2738s: to me, too. At one point, Edward Sullen
2741s: wears a hazmat suit. He also ends up
2743s: juggling a baby and a bowling ball at
2746s: the same time, which isn't the smartest
2749s: joke in the world, but
2751s: it's funny enough. And it was also the
2753s: last movie of my movie marathon, so
2757s: spirits could not have been higher for
2759s: this movie. But even with that, I still
2762s: think this movie is a worthy parody film
2766s: from the era. I don't think it's as good
2768s: as some of the better parody movies I
2771s: talked about in this video. But, as a
2773s: parody movie, it definitely holds its
2776s: own. This movie feels closer to
2778s: superhero movie than any of the other
2781s: Friedberg-Seltzer films. It isn't as
2783s: good, but it's coherent and focused. And
2787s: for that reason alone,
2789s: I can appreciate what it is. So, day
2791s: three
2792s: complete. I can't believe I'm actually
2795s: done. Actually, I'm not. I got to do a
2797s: tier list. Let's get into that.
2801s: Now, to help better organize my
2803s: rankings, I've put each of these movies
2806s: in tiers. And if you got a different
2807s: opinion than me, that's all right, man.
2810s: That It's a free country. So, you know,
2814s: who cares, really? Anyways, enough
2816s: talking. Let's get into F tier, the
2819s: comedy graveyard. F tier movies are
2822s: parody at its lowest. These movies are
2825s: an aggressive waste of your time, and
2827s: honestly, not even worth a hate watch.
2831s: Coming in at number 13, our last place
2834s: movie is Disaster Movie. One of the
2837s: worst movies, if not the worst movie, I
2840s: have ever seen in my life. I have never
2843s: been more unreasonably mad watching a
2847s: movie. Actually, scratch that. It was a
2850s: very reasonable anger. Let's move on to
2852s: number 12. Meet the Spartans. It's
2856s: unfunny, it's gross, it's offensive. It
2859s: honestly checks off all the boxes for
2862s: your typical Friedberg-Seltzer movie,
2865s: which is not a good thing. In fact, it's
2867s: a very bad thing. So, let's move on to
2870s: the D tier, Barely Movies. These movies
2873s: are a regretful watch in every way. Just
2877s: not as regretful as the F tier,
2881s: if that makes sense. Starting at number
2883s: 11, we have Date Movie. The only thing
2886s: putting this above any of the F tier
2889s: movies is that it technically holds
2892s: together as a story. It's a bit less
2895s: nonsensical than the first two movies I
2898s: talked about. Overall, it's lazy,
2901s: mean-spirited, and feels like it was
2903s: written by teenagers.
2906s: Pass. At number 10, we have Epic Movie.
2910s: Now, admittedly, at least there is
2913s: somewhat of a plot to follow, and I did
2916s: laugh a couple of times at some of the
2919s: more stupid jokes. At least I exhaled
2923s: out of my nose a couple of times. But
2925s: again, this one is still unnecessarily
2928s: gross, and ultimately most of the humor
2931s: relies on pop culture references from
2935s: 2007. It's just really dumb and gets old
2939s: really quick. Moving on, we have C tier.
2942s: I guess that existed. These are the
2945s: movies that work best as background
2948s: noise. They're not something you really
2950s: need to sit down and give your full
2952s: attention to, but they're not
2954s: offensively bad like the other movies
2957s: I've just talked about. So, at number
2959s: nine, we have Stan Helsing. This is a
2962s: fairly harmless parody movie when you
2965s: really look at it, but it's very
2967s: forgettable. That's all I got. Coming in
2969s: at number eight, we have Scary Movie 4.
2973s: I don't know, man. This one was just the
2975s: most forgettable one from the Scary
2978s: Movie movies, so uh it felt right to put
2982s: it here. It's not offensively bad, but
2986s: it's not
2987s: offensively good, either. Moving on,
2990s: we're headed to B tier. Good mid. It's
2993s: mid,
2995s: but it's good. Any questions? Some jokes
2998s: land, some don't, and they're definitely
3000s: a bit more memorable than anything from
3004s: C-tier or below. At number seven, we
3007s: have Dance Flick. It definitely has its
3010s: funny moments, but overall, it's pretty
3013s: uneven. Some jokes definitely didn't age
3016s: well. In fact, some of them were
3019s: completely horrifying. Uh I can't rank
3022s: this movie any higher. I just can't. I
3024s: can't do that on a moral and conscious
3028s: level. So, uh moving on. At number six,
3032s: just missing out of the top five is
3035s: Vampires Suck. This movie was a
3038s: shockingly competent parody, which
3041s: doesn't seem like high praise, but you
3044s: got to remember, this was written and
3046s: directed by Friedberg and Seltzer. This
3048s: is their Jordan Flu game. All right,
3051s: enough of that. Let's move on to A-tier.
3054s: The comedy films that are actually
3056s: pretty good. These are the kind of
3058s: movies that you can rewatch and still
3061s: laugh at jokes you've laughed at before.
3064s: They're that good. Coming in at number
3066s: five is Scary Movie 2. It definitely
3070s: doesn't hit the highs of the first
3072s: movie, but it does have enough iconic
3074s: moments to stand on its own. At number
3077s: four is Scary Movie 3. It's a complete
3081s: change of pace from the first two Scary
3083s: Movies, which I think was definitely
3086s: needed. And although a lot of it doesn't
3088s: hold up by today's standards,
3092s: uh can you really expect that from these
3095s: parody movies? I mean, come on, dude.
3097s: That's It's kind of par for the course
3099s: here. At number three, our bronze
3101s: medalist for the video is Superhero
3104s: Movie. I had a lot of nostalgia for this
3108s: movie going into making this video and
3111s: I'm glad to say that this movie still
3114s: holds up.
3116s: At least in my opinion. I could have put
3118s: this one at first. I'm not even kidding.
3121s: I love this movie. Moving on, we have S
3124s: tier, the true survivors. These are the
3127s: movies you think of when you think of
3130s: parody. Coming in at number two, our
3133s: silver medalist, Not Another Teen Movie.
3136s: This movie was very smart, very
3138s: self-aware. I did not expect to like
3141s: this movie as much as I did, but hey,
3145s: sometimes it be like that. Coming in at
3147s: number one, the winner of the gold medal
3150s: of this video
3153s: is Scary Movie 1. Woo! Yeah, dude. Who
3157s: would have thought the first and most
3160s: popular movie was the best?
3164s: >> [sighs]
3167s: >> This was a waste of time. Well, we're
3170s: done. Do I look tired because I sure
3172s: feel it. As bad as most of this movie
3175s: marathon was, there is something
3178s: endearing about these movies. They all
3180s: paint a picture as to what comedy was
3183s: like just before the internet changed it
3186s: forever. And with Scary Movie 6 set to
3188s: be released this year, I can only hope
3191s: that parody will soon return to what it
3194s: once was. But good time that brought
3196s: generations of movie watchers and comedy
3200s: lovers together. I've been Lou Ryan and
3203s: thanks for watching.
3207s: Hasta luego.
