Scary Movie 1 & 2, as crass as they are, actually had _some_ love and care put into it, and Scary Movie 1 effectively succeeded in spoofing a movie that was already a horror movie spoof (Scream). But from Scary Movie 3 onwards (along with any other spoof movie), you can tell that the producers cared a lot more about the juvenile and slapstick humor and pop culture references than actual parodying. And lest we forget, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer slowly killed the genre with each passing “movie” and it still disappoints me.
I still liked 3. Absolutely more slapstick, but still funny. They parodied things like Signs and The Sixth Sense, which still had some horror/thriller elements worth skewering. after that, 100% trash.

The Wayans family are literal GOATs. Glad their roles in the franchise wasn't understated in this video. The Wayans Bros is one of my favorite sitcoms.
Agree, they are the GOATs. Marlon is severely underrated for his versatility but also comedy. He is completely nuts and funny in the old sitcom. They were the key to Sacry Movie's success. After they got cut out, theh went on to continue making widely popular or funny movies like White Chicks. I was a big fan of Little Man and i think Marlon has another funny parody of 50 shades of grey.

I’m glad you mentioned Popstar. I’ve always thought it was weird how nobody ever talks about it. I thought it was great. Extremely underrated. Also, Walk Hard is one of the best comedies of all time.

These movies were so funny to me as a kid! My favorite part is still in Scary Movie 3 when the guy cocks his shovel like a gun and a bullet comes out 🤣
Scary Movie 1, 2 and 3 are absolutely hilarious and number 3 is especially underrated. Only issue for these movies is I can’t take certain horror moves serious. Scream movies I just can’t take serious as ghostface I just find funny 😂😂
Honestly, Scary Movie 3 is my favorite out of all of them by a landslide. I distinctly recall kinda liking the second movie and being utterly underwhelmed by the first one. Guess it's all a matter of personal taste.
A novel idea yet funny movie that spawned a generation of absolutely horrible knock offs that didn’t even try to be funny just acknowledgement that other properties exist.
What pissed me off was after Scary Movie 2 there were all those wack parody movies that were billed as "from 2 of the writers of Scary Movie" clearly trying to trick you into thinking its Shawn and Marlon Wayans.
Getting rid of the Wayans Bros was a horrible idea. Scary Movie 3 wasn't bad at all, but leaving them behind was going add more turbulence to the series.
it all comes down to this, quality requires effort, nothing good comes from low hanging fruit and lackluster attempts. you might make money on middling attempts for a while (cough cough, star wars, cough cough) but eventually even the most avid consumer will tire of the same old stuff
See, this is why those in Hollywood aren't real good at creativity, they're good at milking an idea. They'll fall away soon enough for true creatives to take their place.
I think the simplest way to sum it up: these movies rely too much on "you had to be there," i.e. references. If the jokes/humor are based on something that was big in pop culture at the time, you've created a dated product that simply will not stand the test of time. Whereas if you make good, crafted jokes that work entirely on their own, you've got a film that can be a classic forever. I think the best example of this is comparing any of the Scary Movie sequels to Airplane! The latter works as a silly, funny film. All of the jokes and gags are funny and work on their own, however, if you know what they are parodying, then the humor is even better.
Scary movie 1 and 2 are both rated R everything else after that is pg 13. Yes 2 was rushed and the studio is to blame. There are some great bit in the story that were left by the wayside. The question to why everyone is alive again is revealed. Other characters got more scenes. The beginning and the ending are connected. Scary Movie 2 need a remastered director's cut.
I enjoyed watching the first three movies when I was a teenager, but I haven’t watched them in years. I remember watching SM4 when I was in high school, and I was completely bored halfway through it
Superhero movie was the last decent parody movie I watched, that movie actually have a plot and not just bunch of parody scene from other movie... like many other parody movie that pretty much kill the whole thing.
superhero movie is one of my favorite comedies to date. The actors and jokes just killed me throughout almost the entire movie. Noone talks about it or really knows it exists.
They literally admitted to never even watching more than the trailer for most of the parodies they crammed into each movie! Pretty sure the closest knit parodies that ever came from them was Meet The Spartans and Superhero Movie, with Superhero Movie being the obvious better of the two, but honestly that bar is pretty damn low for them. They wrote a rejected script for the first Scary Movie that was literally bought for the sole purpose of being thrown out, and they’ve been riding the high of that undeserved writing credit ever since!
They were in 3 and as a kid I had sorta laughs and felt okay with it I've never bothered as an adult because I've seen it enough to know I wouldn't really enjoy it anymore.
Scary movie 3 is legit not as good as 1 and 2, but I love the scene where the aliens are like "Yeah man, we greet people by peeing on them out of our fingers!"
Two people. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer effectively destroyed the parody genre in theatrical movies. Edit: Holy crap! Thanks for my first 1000 likes!
Scary Movie 3 had one particular scene that still makes me laugh 20 years later. It's the classroom scene, and out of nowhere, while the teacher is talking with the main character, something is thrown from off camera and hits the chalkboard. The teacher suddenly says "Who the F**K threw that?" Gets me every single time.
The first three movies in the franchise are genuinely hilarious send ups, but everything after that just feels incredibly forced. They really should have quit while they were ahead.
@@fabiofuoco I agree number 4 is just idk it was very very different. They made Cindy more stupider and jokes just forced. Number 5 honestly idk what that was.
@@youngrosie1 Im not white first of all & 3 does have a white humor based on the movies they parodied and It was not to please white people that’s ignorant 🤣
The Wayans made the first two the best parody movies in the genre. 3 gets a pass since it still works but without the Wayans, the films lost their charm.
I love those movies but as far as parody goes I love Walk Hard. But that may have biase since I love Johnny Cash and Walk the Line. Plus Mr.Cox...can't remember the actors name... is usually in movies I find awesome. And Jenna Fischer is awesome. And attractive which doesn't hurt.
The first 2 definitely was hilarious !!!!! Number 3 is funny but definitely is very different they added too much pop culture. Number 4 idk didn’t like it they made Cindy just more stupider
Scary Movie 3 gets a pass for blessing the world with the quote “Cindy, the TV’s leaking” EDIT: for the love of god, I said it’s gets a PASS. Not a credit, not a high distinction, a pass, because I remember one fucking quote and I like that quote.
It is incredibly great, I watched it just last week and it still made me laugh a lot, some scenes were a bit stupid but it was a perfect snd cohesive parody story that not only tied in thr humour with the plot but also broke thr Fourth Wall several times and each time was just as funny.
Scary Movie 3 still has probably one of the funniest bits in the entire franchise with two dudes discussing paradoxes and getting progressively more intense lmao
Scary Movie 1, 2 and Not Another Teen Movie are parody GOLD and hilarious. Scary movie 3 is still really funny and the underrated Superhero Movie with Drake Bell. And honestly, those late 90s to mid 2000s parody, teen, high-school and road trip movies are just hilarious and nostalgic of another time. The New Guy, Bring it On, Undercover Brother, Eurotrip, Malibu's Most Wanted etc etc. I miss it so much 💞
@@youngrosie1 What do you define as "white guy humor?" Specifically in Scary Movie 3 and some comedies from that time frame in general? Scary Movie 1&2 are definitely funnier and have a few more cultural jokes but overall it was super accessible to everyone I'd say. But the Wayans are geniuses like that. They appeal to everyone. White Chicks being another great example of that.
@@equivalentexchangeisalie5726 99% of the jokes in 3 are “white guy humor” 99% of the jokes in 1&2 are “for the culture humor” Notice how the Wayan bro’s stop writing after 2. There you go.🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@youngrosie1 "Black people write culture humour!" Do you realise how stupid you sound? I bet you can't even give an example of humour ONLY white people find funny.
Yeah that one doesn't belong with the others. It was directed by Criag Mazin who has recently directed a lil indie hit show not many people have seen called "The Last of Us"
Scary Movie 3 the scene where Leslie Nielsen as the president thinks that the aliens are attacking absolutely kills me every time. Yeh the film isn't as good as the first two, but it's still nowhere near the depths of some of the other films mentioned. Special honourable mention of Not Another Teen Movie as well, that very effectively parodies the teen movie genre and has a stellar cast.
I have a soft spot in my heart for this genre of films as I grew up in the early 2000’s. Some of the biggest laughs of my childhood stem from these movies
Same. They're not great, but something about the genre just does it for me and I still laugh at the jokes. Shamed to say but low brow movies like Kentucky Fried Movie and Movie 43 have me belly laughing the entire time.
I don't know that I've ever laughed as hard as I did the first time I saw Scary Movie, during the scene with Cindy and the gym teacher. So glad I saw it in the theatre, everyone was dying the whole movie.
There’s one clip that makes me laugh every goddamn time. They’re looking for someone and determine he’s in the Red Light District. Frank asks something like “What would bring a man to the red light district?” Ed asks “Sex, Frank?” And Leslie Nielsen has the best delivery of “…not right now, Ed.” That man was a comedy genius.
Yes! Same here. In fact, I used to be kind of scared of even the Ring portrayals in Scary Movie 3 when I first watched it. But, because I had a big appreciation for SM3 in general, I kept watching, and eventually became desensitized, lol
The 1st Scary Movie is an absolute iconic movie and classic. Culturally it was everywhere. For months and even years after its release, you would hear or see a reference. I mean look at the wassup scene. Everyone around age 30 I know knows about it.
Except Scary Movie 3 is the best one in the series & it's not even close. The focus on dumb wit rather than shock value just amplifies the humor. SM1 also oddly had nothing to say about scary movies that Scream didn't already say - they could've gone further & made fun of the meta, hyper-aware nature of modern horror, but they just remade scream with some d!ck jokes.
Agreed. I can rewatch Superhero Movie and chuckle a few times...but with the others (Date Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.) it took me several attempts to get through them and I've never even thought about rewatching them.
I always wish Detention had gotten more attention - it’s an amazing movie that manages to parody multiple films and genres, is smart and doesn’t have to explain its jokes and EVERY single joke in it has a pay off and plays into the story. Such a great film.
"Shriek if you know what I did the last Friday the 13th" was also another parody movie on the horror movie genre released in the same year as the first Scary Movie film and easily gets overshadowed and overlooked by it.
I think the video missed one important thing: TH-cam, TikTok and the rise of online comedy. Now if we want parodies, it’ll usually come about from creators on those channels and more timely since they’re quicker to make
Scary movie 3 is actually so fucking hilarious and underrated, Charlie Sheen & Leslie Nielsen were comedy gold
Exactly! I honestly love it a lot more than the first couple of movies.
It's the movie that helped me get over "The Ring".

I love those movies but as far as parody goes I love Walk Hard. But that may have biase since I love Johnny Cash and Walk the Line. Plus Mr.Cox...can't remember the actors name... is usually in movies I find awesome. And Jenna Fischer is awesome. And attractive which doesn't hurt.
@@IAmTheDoctor00 that film is overlooked and agree with you there!
I watched the 4th one in theatres as a kid. Still love it.
The first 2 definitely was hilarious !!!!! Number 3 is funny but definitely is very different they added too much pop culture. Number 4 idk didn’t like it they made Cindy just more stupider
@@jenniferbayarea5748 3 has more “white guy humor” 1&2 had more jokes for the “culture“ So if you’re white I can see why you like the 3rd.
Scary Movie 3 gets a pass for blessing the world with the quote “Cindy, the TV’s leaking”
EDIT: for the love of god, I said it’s gets a PASS. Not a credit, not a high distinction, a pass, because I remember one fucking quote and I like that quote.

@@Air.keccc1 yea I know right, what’s his problem? 😭😭🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
SpaceBalls was one of the best parody movies ever, because the performances were sincere and the special effects were actually good.
We aint found shyt!!!! Lol
Watching this has just made me want to watch a lot of Mel Brooks movies. By far my fav parody films.
Young Frankenstein was my fav growing up.
@@nathanieldavis5753 this comment made me laugh. Thanks for this.
It is incredibly great, I watched it just last week and it still made me laugh a lot, some scenes were a bit stupid but it was a perfect snd cohesive parody story that not only tied in thr humour with the plot but also broke thr Fourth Wall several times and each time was just as funny.
Special effects were good because George Lucas let them use his team.
Scary Movie 3 still has probably one of the funniest bits in the entire franchise with two dudes discussing paradoxes and getting progressively more intense lmao
“CINDY THE TV’S LEAKING”
3 is definitely a guilty pleasure for me
Also a pleasure for me but by no means guilty, lol

@@shredermn a lot of Mexicans share the same humor as white people or grew up in the suburbs so I’m not surprised 🤷🏽♂️
@@youngrosie1 are u being racist to my people now bro?
Honest to god, while the Superhero Movie had a low production value, the jokes in that movie have some of the best deliveries of any parody movie
"I'm not wearing any diamonds!"
Drake Bell was great in it as well. Glad to see Superhero movie get some love.
Is Leslie Nelson for me
Many people dont know its writers are the same from the airplane movies
@@equivalentexchangeisalie5726 actually i think drake sucked at it as usual... But that makes his character even better
Scary Movie 1, 2 and Not Another Teen Movie are parody GOLD and hilarious. Scary movie 3 is still really funny and the underrated Superhero Movie with Drake Bell. And honestly, those late 90s to mid 2000s parody, teen, high-school and road trip movies are just hilarious and nostalgic of another time. The New Guy, Bring it On, Undercover Brother, Eurotrip, Malibu's Most Wanted etc etc. I miss it so much 💞
3 has more “white guy humor” 1&2 had more jokes for the “culture“ So if you’re white I can see why you like the 3rd.
@@youngrosie1 What do you define as "white guy humor?" Specifically in Scary Movie 3 and some comedies from that time frame in general?
Scary Movie 1&2 are definitely funnier and have a few more cultural jokes but overall it was super accessible to everyone I'd say. But the Wayans are geniuses like that. They appeal to everyone. White Chicks being another great example of that.
@@equivalentexchangeisalie5726 99% of the jokes in 3 are “white guy humor” 99% of the jokes in 1&2 are “for the culture humor” Notice how the Wayan bro’s stop writing after 2. There you go.🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@youngrosie1 "Black people write culture humour!" Do you realise how stupid you sound? I bet you can't even give an example of humour ONLY white people find funny.
@@youngrosie1 What is even "white guy humor"?
Let me just say, A Haunted House showcased that the Wayans really were the missing piece with the Scary Movie franchise.
Anna Farris was gold in the first two
Superhero Movie is actually really underrated
Yeah that one doesn't belong with the others. It was directed by Criag Mazin who has recently directed a lil indie hit show not many people have seen called "The Last of Us"
I was about to say, that movie still gets referenced today.
That one is amazing. Maybe not as good as Scary Movies 1 and 2, but still.
Agreed, it's actually a really good parody movie
Disaster movie too
Scary Movie 3 the scene where Leslie Nielsen as the president thinks that the aliens are attacking absolutely kills me every time. Yeh the film isn't as good as the first two, but it's still nowhere near the depths of some of the other films mentioned. Special honourable mention of Not Another Teen Movie as well, that very effectively parodies the teen movie genre and has a stellar cast.
I personally think the third scary movie movie was the best
By a landslide.
Yuck 😆
Agreed. Love the farting chair scene with the Oracle
I have a soft spot in my heart for this genre of films as I grew up in the early 2000’s. Some of the biggest laughs of my childhood stem from these movies
Same. They're not great, but something about the genre just does it for me and I still laugh at the jokes. Shamed to say but low brow movies like Kentucky Fried Movie and Movie 43 have me belly laughing the entire time.
Same. Especially Scary Movie 3 and Suoerhero Movie. I have watched those over and over. Great fun.
@@sammartina8574 Nissan Shitbox still gets me to this day 😂
@@equivalentexchangeisalie5726 From Superhero Movie! 😂
U seen Freddy got fingered?
SCARY MOVIE 5 should've come earlier
It came out at a time where the parody genre had died
I don't know that I've ever laughed as hard as I did the first time I saw Scary Movie, during the scene with Cindy and the gym teacher. So glad I saw it in the theatre, everyone was dying the whole movie.
Ah yes, Ms. Mann!
I've been loving the naked gun and police squad clips lately. There's just something different about that style of parody
There’s one clip that makes me laugh every goddamn time. They’re looking for someone and determine he’s in the Red Light District.
Frank asks something like “What would bring a man to the red light district?”
Ed asks “Sex, Frank?”
And Leslie Nielsen has the best delivery of “…not right now, Ed.”
That man was a comedy genius.
I loved the first 3 Scary Movies. Horror movies used to terrify me and funnily enough, Scary Movie 3 actually helped me get over The Ring!
Yes! Same here. In fact, I used to be kind of scared of even the Ring portrayals in Scary Movie 3 when I first watched it. But, because I had a big appreciation for SM3 in general, I kept watching, and eventually became desensitized, lol
It went from "funny movies with original jokes based on franchises that matter at the time" to "whats trending? Throw some internet memes on it"
The Scary Movie franchise died when the Weinstein’s decided to fire the Wayans after the success of the first two movies
The 1st Scary Movie is an absolute iconic movie and classic.
Culturally it was everywhere.
For months and even years after its release, you would hear or see a reference.
I mean look at the wassup scene.
Everyone around age 30 I know knows about it.
Except Scary Movie 3 is the best one in the series & it's not even close. The focus on dumb wit rather than shock value just amplifies the humor. SM1 also oddly had nothing to say about scary movies that Scream didn't already say - they could've gone further & made fun of the meta, hyper-aware nature of modern horror, but they just remade scream with some d!ck jokes.
Superhero Movie is such an underrated gem as a parody film and so much more relevant now at the closing times of the current superhero movie boom
Agreed. I can rewatch Superhero Movie and chuckle a few times...but with the others (Date Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.) it took me several attempts to get through them and I've never even thought about rewatching them.
Ironically, series writer Craig Mazin is doing pretty good rn with Chernobyl and The Last of Us.
There's a reason why MST3K rifts these films
Super Hero Movie is actually pretty solid. It loses some of its momentum towards the end, but it's decent overall
I always felt that Dewey Cox never got enough recognition. I loved John C. Reilly in that parody.
I always wish Detention had gotten more attention - it’s an amazing movie that manages to parody multiple films and genres, is smart and doesn’t have to explain its jokes and EVERY single joke in it has a pay off and plays into the story. Such a great film.
"Shriek if you know what I did the last Friday the 13th" was also another parody movie on the horror movie genre released in the same year as the first Scary Movie film and easily gets overshadowed and overlooked by it.
'You can trace them all the way back to the 1900s'
So...twenty-four years ago?
Yes! I’m very glad you covered the scary movie series!
ah man,, no mention of Jane Austen's Mafia! my favorite when I was a kid
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is the last truly great parody movie.
Scary Movie wasnt the same after The Wayne bros left. that was the major difference
Superhero Movie is an underrated masterpiece, pretty much the only parody movie after Scary Movie 2 that was genuinely really good
I think the video missed one important thing: TH-cam, TikTok and the rise of online comedy. Now if we want parodies, it’ll usually come about from creators on those channels and more timely since they’re quicker to make
The wayans bros made 1-2 movies when they left the movies were shit. No one can do it better than wayans bros
Dewey Cox is legendary! One of my favorite films.
And yeah the Scary Movie franchise was totally a blast. I wouldn’t mind a parody movie resurgence.
