Say what you will about those stupid movies, I miss them...
Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, Mel Brooks, the early Jim Carrey comedies, Police Academy...
I just miss silly spoof movies.
I feel like those " (genre) Movie" films were such weak throwaways and the silly parody movie quietly just died shortly after. Especially when everything wanted to be an "adult comedy" or a "dramedy" (ughh!)
You don't really see that fun absurdist trope-poking humor of Kung Pow!, Airplane, Monty Python, or Austin Powers, anymore. Spy movie spoofs were such a great time. :)
A TV show called Angie Tribeca did this SO WELL. It was such a great cop show parody full of silly wordplay and puns and unbelievably ridiculous scenarios.
I miss movies like Scary Movie. You'll never see anything like that ever again.
"I told you not to disturb me when I'm cleaning my room!"
I really loved police academy. Rewatched it recently with our late teen kids-wow, does it have some racial and queer jokes that made us all very uncomfortable. the rest is still gold though.
