Topping the list is **Disaster Movie** (1), criticized for its random humor and lack of insightful parody, marking the decline of Friedberg and Seltzer’s comedic efforts. Overall, this roundup highlights the struggle many parody films face when balancing humor with originality, often leading to critical failure.

41s: Teen comedies like she's all that an

45s: mind so much if the jokes and
47s: observations were actually funny but

108s: land on their feet the film lacks any

131s: since its release in 1967 Casino Royale
134s: has caused a lot of confusion despite
136s: being based on an Ian Fleming novel
138s: Casino Royale was not a proper James
140s: Bond film owing to rights disputes the
142s: producer who owned the rights decided
144s: not to compete with Eon Productions and
147s: made a spoof instead but everyone
149s: involed olved knew it was going to be
151s: terrible and sure enough following a
153s: disastrous production the movie was
155s: released to strong numbers but horrible
158s: reviews many criticized its sloppy and
160s: Meandering structure and the
163s: 131-minute runtime certainly did not
166s: help that's longer than most Bond films

172s: very low threshold of death my doctor

176s: at any time number 17 superhero movie
179s: you do that uh it's easier than it
188s: looks no I don't think so this one
190s: really should have been a home run it
192s: was released during a superhero boom
194s: playing on the likes of Batman Begins
196s: and Spider-Man it stars a number of
198s: scary movie veterans like Regina Hall
201s: Leslie neelen and Simon Rex it was even
203s: directed by Craig Mason who wrote the
205s: very good Scary Movie 3 yet it crashed
208s: harder than Iron Man the film relies too
211s: heavily on juvenile humor and cheap gags
213s: instead of clever satire or
215s: observational comedy on superhero tropes
217s: these jokes are way too easy to make not
219s: to mention generally unfunny and it
222s: seems like the actors are not really
223s: invested in the material but hey it's
226s: always nice seeing Leslie neelen ah the
228s: rituals of manhood today you have your
230s: first beer and tomorrow we'll circumcise
233s: you number 16 Dracula dead and Loving It
236s: she's alive she's no farat
240s: she's Italian all right well we must
242s: admit as much as we love Leslie neelen
245s: he has starred in a few stinkers long
248s: before superhero movie came Dracula dead
250s: and Loving It a spoof of the general
253s: Dracula Mythos with neelen in the lead
255s: and the legendary Mel Brooks behind the
257s: camera we don't know where or how this
259s: film went wrong but went wrong it did
262s: greatly lacking the biting wit of
263s: Brooks's earlier works pretty much all
265s: the jokes fell flat whether from poor
267s: comedic timing General laziness subpar
270s: performances it received overwhelmingly
273s: negative reviews and bombed at the box
275s: office and it was the last film that
276s: Brooks ever directed take this one out
279s: in the sun and let it melt your eyelids
282s: are getting
283s: heavy you feel
286s: the ranfield you fell asleep too soon
290s: number 15 Ricky
292s: W up go great
297s: great you know the saying strike while
299s: iron is hot well Ricky one certainly did
302s: not this film about a male jiggalo who
304s: becomes a boxer is a parody of Rocky
307s: only it came out over 10 years after the
309s: original film in fact it was released
311s: after Rocky 4 which let's admit is
314s: basically a self- parody of the
316s: franchise anyway with production values
318s: that seem held together by duct tape
320s: Ricky 1 was cheaply made and entirely
322s: forgettable have you ever heard of it
324s: exactly we wouldn't mind the low-budget
327s: jankiness if the movie were funny but
329s: let's just say it's not competing for
331s: the comedy belt anytime soon why'd you
334s: bring me here dummy for inspiration dear
337s: inspiration for what number 14
340s: repossessed that old Geer stopped
342s: slinging holy water years ago not before
344s: he kicked your slimy butt no way I could
348s: have taken him the fight was fixed we
351s: hate to keep adding Leslie neelsen to
353s: this list but we have to do it
355s: repossessed is a parody of The Exorcist
357s: and its title serves as a nice bit of
359s: work word play you see the movie follows
361s: Nancy aglet who is possessed twice once
364s: in 1973 and again in 1990 Nancy is
367s: played by none other than Linda Blair
370s: who played Reagan in The Exorcist So
372s: Blair herself is being repossessed
374s: unfortunately that is the smartest thing
376s: in this otherwise terrible film it lacks
379s: the intelligence and originality needed
381s: to make a successful parody relying on
383s: gags and pop culture references that
385s: were dated even by 1990 standards that's
388s: what happens when you parody a movie
389s: that's already 17 years old GE mom looks
393s: terrible well they say TV does add 10
396s: lbs to you number 13 spy hard there's
399s: only one man for this
401s: operation agent WD40
404s: steel dick steel uh yep it's Leslie
409s: neelsen again in this one he plays
411s: secret agent dick steel who has the code
413s: name WD40 are you laughing yet if you're
417s: not then this movie has little for you
419s: spy hard is another parody of the James
421s: Bond franchise coming just one year
423s: before the infinitely Superior Austin
426s: Powers critics noted that Nelson's stick
428s: was starting to get old and the movie
430s: copied the general style of the Naked
432s: Gun films without a fraction of their
434s: wit director Rick Friedberg has
435s: acknowledged the poor quality of the
437s: film claiming that Disney interfered and
439s: cut entire sequences to make the film
441s: more
445s: familyfriendly Great Scott steel see a
449s: doctor
450s: number 12 plump fiction
454s: [Music]
455s: hello hey turn it down will you despite
459s: its title plump fiction isn't just a
461s: parody of Pulp Fiction it's more a
463s: parody of Tarantino style and the type
465s: of violent transgressive films he helped
467s: usher in in the early 90s but those
469s: movies have more Artistry in one minute
472s: than plump fiction does in its entire 82
475s: with a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes it
478s: seems like no one like this movie or
480s: what it was attempting to do yes
481s: Tarantino films are ripe for parody and
484s: indeed they have been parodied
486s: successfully on many occasions but not
488s: in plump fiction like that guy in the
490s: bathroom this movie missed every shot it
493s: took and it led to equally baffled
501s: reactions number 11 a haunted house I'm
505s: father
506s: Doug I'm here to unpossess you Marlin
510s: ways already poked fun at the haunted
511s: house Jara in Scary Movie 2 so right out
514s: the gate this film was treading some
515s: well-worn ground however despite its
518s: title a haunted house isn't specifically
521s: taking aim at that genre but the general
523s: found footage fad of the 2000s while
525s: that subj is ripe for the picking a
528s: haunted house couldn't capitalize on its
529s: own promise often settling for
531s: raunchiness and easy jokes Scary Movie 2
534s: was no Masterpiece itself but it sure
536s: looks like one next to this I can't sell
538s: a house in this Market immediate
541s: possession number 10 50 Shades of Black
545s: can I show you some love well no come on
548s: come on regardless of your opinion on
550s: them the 50 Shade Series has been a bit
552s: of a laughing stock in recent years did
554s: we really need a parody of a movie that
556s: no one took seriously in the first place
558s: with 50 Shades of Black Marlin Way's
560s: attempts to recapture His Glory Days of
562s: scary movie but scary movie this is not
566s: we suppose the message of female
567s: empowerment was well-intentioned but the
569s: movie is nevertheless filled with gags
571s: that Miss far more than they hit
573s: complete with the typical serving of
575s: lame racist gross out and sex jokes and
578s: for May of course uh we have peeking dub
581s: from the Mandarin province of China I'm
583s: Korean don't refresh me number nine
586s: Leonard part
588s: six go easy
592s: Monroe it's not like anybody's running
594s: to consume any media that involves Bill
596s: Cosby these days but even against his
598s: current reputation
600s: this movie is terrible Leonard part 6 is
603s: a spy parody from the mind of Cosby
605s: himself who produced conceptualized and
608s: starred in the movie it was an absolute
610s: travesty and Bill Cosby himself even
613s: told his fans to ignore it as he had
615s: zero faith in the finished
617s: [Music]
621s: product the director Paul wiland would
624s: also disown the movie calling it quote a
626s: mistake that was bred from Bill Cosby's
629s: power power and wyland's inability to
631s: argue his creative decisions Cosby's
634s: warnings turned out to be successful as
636s: the movie was a massive bomb that
638s: quickly and rightfully faded Into
640s: Obscurity the whole movie is a mess and
642s: even though Cosby has dis own has
644s: disowned it he cannot Escape all the
647s: blame I don't think so number eight
649s: Breaking Wind God I knew I should have
652s: taken the stupid shrimp tacos from that
654s: guad Haren Street vender last night
658s: before we get into the heart of our
659s: criticism let's just sit for a second
661s: and Ponder the existence of a movie
663s: titled Breaking Wind yeah you can just
665s: tell this one wasn't going to be very
667s: good oh my bad Breaking Wind serves as a
670s: Twilight parody and surprisingly the
672s: cast isn't too bad the woman who played
675s: Amy on The Walking Dead is here as is
677s: everyone's favorite badass Danny tryo
679s: but aside from the casting there are no
682s: redeemable qualities to this movie it
684s: isn't just lame and unfunny it's
686s: mean-spirited it directly makes fun of
689s: real Twilight fans and constantly cracks
691s: jokes at the idea of gay marriage it's a
693s: mess from every angle it's really gay
696s: number seven Scary Movie 5 look at that
700s: form that technique the first scary
703s: movie was not half bad and then they
706s: just kept coming and coming and coming
710s: 13 years after the original Dimension
712s: films released the fifth installment in
714s: the series and it was more terrible than
716s: we could have
717s: imagined so h
723s: hungry is that all P has a waight limit
726s: siries veterans Anna Ferris and Regina
728s: Hall sat this one out and their
730s: presences are sadly missed no one in the
733s: movie is particularly funny and even the
735s: gags which spoof movies like Inception
737s: Black Swan and Mama were stale and out
739s: ofd it seems as if 13 years worth of the
742s: same tired jokes has robbed them of
744s: their funniness
751s: number six Vampires Suck no I'm a
755s: vampire duh that was my next guess the
758s: best we can say about vampire suck is
761s: that Jim Pros does a damn good Kristen
763s: Stewart vampire suck is also a spoof of
766s: Twilight and it's just as bad if not
768s: worse than Breaking Wind this movie
771s: contained nothing but empty jokes that
773s: consisted of your typical head Bonks and
775s: groin hits oh my God there is Edward we
777s: love you you're the best no Jacob's the
782s: best people bending over in pain after
784s: being hit in the crotch may have been
786s: funny like 5,000 years ago but we expect
788s: a little more from our humor today Mace
791s: will only temporarily stop your attacker
793s: you have to hit a man where he breathe
797s: Becca despite being completely panned by
799s: critics the movie ended up grossing $80
802s: million at the box office proving that
804s: there is in fact an audience for these
806s: movies Edward Solen he's is a complete
810s: hottie number five Date Movie idiot hell
814s: no I won't marry you gosh in the mid
816s: 2000s theaters were plagued with these
818s: movie movies and every single one of
821s: them was a laugh free travesty Date
824s: Movie may not be as bad as some of the
826s: others but don't confuse that with it
828s: being
829s: good time to P
833s: out date movie has a good cast that
836s: includes Allison Hanigan and Fred
837s: Willard but their talent are completely
839s: wasted on a script that believes
841s: constant toilet humor and fat suits are
843s: funny Date Movie is nothing but a pop
846s: culture reference machine and an unfunny
848s: one at
852s: [Music]
854s: that number four meet the
857s: Spartans we are the
859s: Spartans stop the Y meet the Spartans
863s: may not have the word movie in its title
865s: but it comes from the same directing
867s: team of Jason Friedberg and Aaron selt
869s: and it is just as bad as the rest of
871s: them as you can imagine Meet the
873s: Spartans is mostly a Lampoon of Zack
875s: Snider's 300 and it comes with all the
877s: predictable gay jokes out-of-date pop
880s: culture references and silly body humor
882s: that you can imagine I'm assembling an
884s: army of 300 to go to war with
887s: Persia I'm going to take them in the
889s: rear like date night meet the Spartans
892s: also contained less jokes and more
894s: random pop culture references as if us
896s: recognizing the reference is supposed to
898s: be funny we don't think they know how
900s: Comedy
904s: [Music]
908s: Works number three Epic
913s: movie Epic movie is fredberg and
915s: Seltzer's attempt at lampooning various
917s: blockbuster movies like The Chronicles
919s: of Narnia and X-Men you know exactly
922s: what you're getting into simply by
923s: reading the tagline which proudly States
926s: we know it's big we measured the rest to
929s: the movie follow suit as it's filled
931s: with childish humor that only a
932s: 12-year-old boy might find funny we say
935s: might because even that's a
940s: stretch Epic movie was an earlier entry
943s: in the movie series but its box office
945s: gross of $86 million ured there would be
949s: plenty more in the years to follow
954s: hooray already know I'm
959s: number two The Starving Games so happy
962s: Starving Games and May the odds be never
965s: in your favor for The Starving Games
967s: fredberg and seltzer attempted to tackle
969s: you guessed it The Hunger Games like
972s: their previous works this is a movie
974s: filled with completely random pop
976s: culture references comic violence and
978s: horrible attempts at satire however
980s: unlike their previous works there is no
983s: star power to speak of here a vista
987s: baby it be
991s: K damn it I don't have a catch fries
994s: whereas before they snagged Fred Willard
997s: Allison Hanigan and Cal pen there is no
1000s: one in The Starving Games who can even
1002s: attempt to draw your attention away from
1004s: the horrible jokes on screen but then
1006s: again there is absolutely no saving this
1008s: juvenile crass and stale excuse for a
1011s: movie I'm in the

1051s: laugh but disaster movie is something
1053s: else as you can imagine the movie is a
1055s: riff on various disaster movies but
1058s: unlike good parodies it has nothing to
1060s: say about the genre it Lampoons look at
1063s: me look at this it's a Lobster Claw it
1067s: was deemed the team's worst movie yet
1070s: and unlike their previous works it
