I know it's cliche to hate on them , but I REALLY despise the parody genre of the early 2000s.
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Ida. Ida who? I think it’s pronounced Idaho.
All of these are awful and not funny but I am one of the few who didn't think they would be good at all based on cast and premise and trailers for them.
@@Funny.Man101 you are not funny
So many subscribers and so few comments. This is embarrassing.
And the main component of bad comedies seems to be the presence of Will Farrell...
Farrell is capable of doing good roles and can be funny but he so oftentimes settles for doing crap.
...or Eddie Murphy (in the past 20 years)...or Adam Sandler (in the past 20 years)....
He is in some of my favorite movies!
Year one doesn't belong here. Not awful.
Agreed! I loved that movie. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they didn’t like it
The Sausage and Mash I had for tea went well while watching this list
I wouldn't exactly say I love Year One, but it's ok. It has laugh out loud moments. Jack Black is Jack Black in it. I enjoyed it. Yet another example of WatchMojo just saying what they think people want to hear and not having their own opinion.
I'm not surprised the hangover sequels didn't work, the first one was lightning in a bottle, you don't get it twice.
That line from Bewitched was so bad it inspired Stewie to board a flight from Rhode Island to California and purchase a ladder so he could show up at Will Ferrell’s door, slap him and say that’s not funny 😂
I dont think Year one was THAT bad TBH
I saw it on the thumbnail and was like 🤔🤨 I watched it atleast 4 or 5 times in my life and enjoyed every one
Year one is hilarious so many funny parts it's the peak of Micheal Cera and Jack Black, they are so good together on screen, and so many funny scenes like the cougar attack or Cane and Able
Like when they saw and rode a hay wagon for the first time ever. Comedy gold lol
Agreed. Jack Black is basically hilarious in whatever he does
Yeah I love that movie
I went into the Three Stooges movie, expecting something hilarious because I loved the stooges when I was a kid. Not once did I hear anybody laugh in the whole theater. It was one of the most awkward movie going experiences I’ve ever had.
Still appreciate the film for what it is and the parts with the Jersey shore cast getting abused by Moe makes me laugh now.
I expected Master Of Disguise to be here.
I thought the movie would just be a decent to average comedy with 3-5 funny bits holding it together.
Boy, was it everything but
I actually liked year one.
I’m sorry but Year One is an underrated gem
Year One wasn't a masterpiece by any means, but it had it's moments.
"Upside down prisoner has to pee!!!"
Lol
When a movie spends too much money with casting, extravagant wardrobe and exotic locations
You know that very little was spent on making a decent script
Norbit is one of the funnies movies i have ever watch
Yea, this top is sht, year one was awesome too..
It’s because it goes against woke
Bro that’s what I’m saying and it made this list
Norbit is a classic
Thank you
Hey, I love You're Highness!
How can you show the “it’s turkey time” scene from gigli without the “gobble gobble” ???? 😂
I actually remember enjoying Year One as a kid. I could watch anything with Jack Black in it tho and at least mildly enjoy myself lol.
Norbit is basically at hood classic status now. That means this is an insult 😂😂😂
Love that movie
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 9% based on 124 reviews, with an average rating of 3.6/10, with the site's consensus reading, "Coming off his Oscar-nominated performance in Dreamgirls, the talented-but-inconsistent Eddie Murphy plays three roles in Norbit, a cruel, crass, stereotype-filled comedy that's more depressing than funny."[9]
Yeah Classic Razzie (0%-50%)
Catwoman level 9%
Trash movie
Literally! I love this movie and still quote it to this day!
Son Of The Mask, Big Mama's House 3, That's My Boy, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! Home Alone 4, and the other uncessary Home Alone sequels, The Tooth Fairy 2, Jingle All The Way 2, Tomorrowland, The Time Machine, A Wrinkle In Time, The Golden Compass, Planet Of The Apes(2001), The Cat In The Hat, The Three Stooges, and other bad movies should've been on the list. 🎬🚔🎬🎬🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥📺
This was focused on comedies. I liked the Time Machine btw
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! Was the only version of that film series I saw as a kid and only now I find out it was bad. 😢
Other comedy movies you find terrible did we missed:
Son of the Mask (2005)
Rebound (2005)
Kangaroo Jack (2003)
Smokey and the Bandit II (1980)
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983)
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992)
Big Momma's House 2 (2006)
What's the Worst That Could Happen? (2001)
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015)
Joe Somebody (2001)
etc.
Year one is hilarious…
Ghostbusters from 2016 should be high on this list.
I like that movie
The backlash against the trailer indicates otherwise.
Nah, everyone expected it to be shit except for irrational "feminists".
"...that no-one expected to be awful." So it doesn't qualify, sadly.
They made up for it with Afterlife.
That list needs a redo, Year One was hilarious, and it seems the comment section agrees!
I did not expect Howard The Duck to be bad. Sadly, I saw it, loved it, and found out the hard way that it is not very popular.
Does it matter what other people think tho? Just enjoy whatever you like...I'll be honest, none, and I mean none of this were bad for me. Watched and enjoyed them all...
I like Year One lol. Not great but I laughed.
I love that disaster with all my heart!
🥉
I love Michael Cera, Jack Black AND Year One!
Same!
Sometimes a stupid movie is the best way to relax at the end of the week 😅
I loved the "dishonorable" mention Bewtitched!! I want Isabelle's house, cat, witching abilities and I thought Nicole Kidman was cute and sweet. It's one of my go-to movies when I need a pick me up.
I liked that movie too. I thought it was really well made.
Year one is funny.
Howard The Duck was a MASTERPIECE in cinema!!
The one thing that stands out to me in Hangover 2 was Stu’s Asian father-in-law. Naturally, the in-laws are not suppose to like you, but DAMN Mr. Srisai is an outright asshole.
Norbit is a cult classic
Oddly enough Norbit technically was nominated for an Oscar too 😂😂 people forget that
"Howard the Duck" was and is one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid. If anyone else has anything different to say, I'll show them my black belt in Quack-Fu.
Year One was hilarious
I would disagree that most of these movies was a surprise that they were awful.
I'd switch "Hangover part 2" with "Hangover part 3". Part 2 was like bland version of the original one, but as for quality they didn't differ that much from each other. Part 3 was indeed unwatchable.
9:11 Considering I've not seen either of the Zoolander films, I actually don't know if it was Ben Stiller or the studio who decided the sequel needed to have more celebrity cameos but I also heard according to Stiller that this film is supposed to take place in 2015 (when it was being filmed) to focus on today's modelling industry, whether or not it was taken a bit literally since the first film was made in 2001.
as a 13 year old seeing it in theaters, Year One was the funniest film of all time lol XD
If Howard the Duck was released today, I think would have been well-received today. 🎉
Glad to see Year One is FINALLY being realized for the unfunny garbage it is!
Hangover part 2 - we were all expecting a great movie. What we got was a retelling of the first movie with Zach Galifianakis' character going from lovable special ed guy to completely obnoxious full-blown autistic douchebag.
Howard the Duck - many people don't know that we have this movie to thank for Pixar Studios. George Lucas was so convinced in the potential success of the movie he sunk EVERYTHING he had into it, and lost his shirt. He ended up selling a new studio he had created to Steve Jobs to recoup his losses, and that studio became Pixar.
Wow! That is very mind blowing! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
I would argue that quite a lot of people expected these movies to be awful.
Year one was absolutely hilarious
I expected Year One to be awful. It’s Jack Black and Michael Cera. Come on! Red flag!
'Movies NO ONE Expected To Be Awful'? I'm calling bull on that statement. As a fan of the original Howard The Duck comic book from the 1970's, and seeing how marvel had mismanaged the character since then, I knew the movie was going to suck.
Skid Marks (2007) This Is a Movie That Doesn't come up during Conversation and for good reason It was a massive flop that rivals Freddie Got Fingered (2001) yes It was That bad I hated drudging up repressed memories but here I am today
I don’t think any one of these movies sounded that good to begin with.
The only laugh I got out of 'The Love Guru' was the line "Let's make like a baby and head out." Other than that one line, the movie was an absolute travesty
OK, I do not know anyone who expected Howard the Duck, Norbit, Holmes and Watson (and most other Will F movies), both Zoolanders, The Love Guru and Year One to be anything but awful. Just the trailers were more of these pieces of trash than I want to see.
Being a kid back then, I like Howard the Duck. Technically it is the first MCU movie
I was around 9 years old when it came out. I loved it and would still watch it at nearly 47😎
How dare you put NORBIT on this list!!!! That is one of the best movies ever!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I said the same thing, Norbit is hilarious
You guys are high
Norbit was lit. It was just short.
Norbit has always got undeserved hate.
There is a hot take to end all hot takes
You had so many honorable mentions you could have almost made the top 20 movies no one expected to be awful. I liked Year One and watch it on a regular basis since I own it on DVD. Many commenters are saying Norbit is a good movie, so I will be tracking the movie down to watch it.
The only good thing I got out of Year One...it reminded me of a somewhat passable modern-day version of Monty Python's The Life of Brian. Still had me rolling in laughter, tho.
Fanboys made me unspeakably angry. Obnoxious, annoying characters and juvenile humour
How good?
Ive been called the songbird of my generation by people who heard me. That good.
Holmes and Watson, otherwise known as the movie which Netflix told Sony Pictures, "You can keep it".
How about every single movie is being directed by Aaron Seltzer & Jason Friedberg.
Was very disappointed with Hangover 2, 3 and Zoolander 2
You forgot "Mixed Nuts", a good cast working with a humor-free script.
Year one belongs on the cult classic list
Expected "The Hangover games" to be here. You know, parody of the hunger games and the hangover in which guys wake up in the hunger games universe and are forced to compete. I personally loved that scene in which the antagonist reports to the president which was Obama :D
I had no idea that my obsession with Howard the Duck was not shared by the masses. I loooved it so much. 😂
@1:40, Almost **4 years** 😂 Someone missed a 0 there.
I had to go back and listen to it again, and I thought it was my poor hearing when he said that.
If only it were still 1990, though. What a nice fantasy. We could stop using disposable plastic bags before we even started, address climate change before it really began, and nip Donald Trump in the bud. Oh well.
Norbit is a certified classic at this point 😂😂😂
You're funny
Me and my brothers rewatched it a 1000 times shits hilarious
Yogi Bear (2010), Ghostbusters (2016), and Tom and Jerry (2021), Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000), and Fat Albert (2004) have mostly left the chat!!!
2:46 come on man Nobit was funny
Am I the only person who actually liked "Year One?" Oliver Platt as a greased up horny ancient Babylonian High Priest was worth the price of admission.
Year One was good. If you expect goofball comedy and not Oscar winner, it is really funny. Michael Cera has some great but subtle comedy and Jack Black is good. Just understand it was a lower budget movie but it was solid. Too bad it was Harold Ramis' last movie and it tanked. A good comedy, but too bad that Ramis went out with little respect for his last movie.
I actually liked Holmes and Watson, and Amsterdam
LOL, really? There was literally NONE of those movies that I planned to watch nor have even watched on streaming. MAYBE Zoolander had an audience, but it wasn't me. Love Guru? Nah. Morbit? Come on. Howard the Duck was just a crazy concept anyone. I'd say the only one that had a shot would've been Hangover Part 2.
I would have expected "Are We There Yet?" To be on this list. The only good parts of the movie were in the trailer.
Michael Cera has never been a comedy titan 😂
Fully expected Holmes and Watson.
Kicking and Screaming should be here too. I'd swap out Hangover 2 with Airplane 2.
i knew from the first trailer that Holmes & Watson would suck. didn't come as a surprise to hear how terrible it really was.
Same here! I saw the traler and thought "Oh this going to awful!"
yep- I was in the theatre on opening of Howard the Duck... ouch... but anyone expecting Holmes and Watson to be good smelled of the glue they been sniffing... did not buy into Zoolander so could not see how it could be followed except with a fresh diaper. and Love Guru was clearly a piece of garbage. nothing in the trailers said 'somehow not a waste of time and energy.' same goes for Year One. Amsterdam actually had a prospect of being good... and as such was a true disappointment. casting errors, scripti, editing... WTF!?
Year One?! WHAT
Sorry, not sorry, I LOVE Year One! I laugh every single time I watch it 🤣 😂
Same here
This is list is not shockingly but horrible. The hangover 2 and year one shouldn't be on this list and your highness shouldn't isn't bad either. What's bad is who makes these lists
Ice Pirates could have been a way better movie if it had a different director and writers. Robert Urich, who is certainly not a bad actor, couldn’t hide his embarrassment while saying, “space herpe”.
That movie is a classic
Ice Pirates was awesome, a little dated today but still awesome
@@GreatCanadianBob "use the robots! Use em!"
Year One is hilarious, Wankmojo gets it wrong...again.
I actually love Year One. My family and I find it hilarious and quote it all the time, lol
The Hangover series definitely should've been cancelled after the first movie
No. It was the same movie done again, then again. That’s what I wanted. Whole trilogy was just more of the same.
Howard SHOULD have been animated , not live action . 😠
8:11 Seriously Watchmojo you're torturing us with this cilp. ☣️
DEW CUBE was BAD
Howard the duck is a classic 😅. Norbit cost Eddie Murphy the Oscars 😢
Hard to forget The Bonfire of the Vanities though watching the clips now am I the only one that sees Paul Whitehouse sitting next to Willis at 5:23 followed by Eammon Holmes next to Hanks at 5:35?
Now that’d make the film better, eh?
Year one was an ok movie..... what am I doing what have I done,.... what am I continuing to do😂😂😂
I’m pretty sure I walked out of Howard the Duck it was so bad.
12:03 i honestly dont get the hate. I thought this was fine
I understand why it isn’t on this list… but, Dragnet, never lives up to its promise, nor its cast.
Dan Aykroyd, between the two original Ghostbusters films, & Tom Hanks, one year before BIG hits theaters…. Are cops of opposite temperaments teamed up to investigate A series of bizarre crimes.
On ode to the 1950’s TV show of the same name, with a supporting cast including Christopher Plummer, Harry Morgan & Bruce Grey. This ‘buddy cop’ comedy isn’t terrible…
For some reason there isn't a single comedy film that comes to my mind When trying to answer that question at the end about comedy films that I expected to be funny that were awful. I don't know maybe those ones are films I just don't remember😂
There is that Eddie Murphy film Pluto Nash and it's so bad that I actually remember the DVD menu and the music from it a lot more than the movie itself. In fact I remember nothing from the movie except The DVD menu. I mean when the menu is more memorable than the film then there's definitely a problem
Norbit is funny af take that off and put Death At A Funeral
Yall are gonna stop coming for Norbit! 😂 That movie is hilarious with plenty of rewatch value.
Also, I enjoyed The Hangover III MUCH MORE than The Hangover II.
Howard The Duck was quite bad, but it DID show Lea Thompson's singing talent. She can REALLY sing!
Norbit is a classic
It was almost 40 years ago, not 4…… someone forgot a zero for you
How did Movie 43 not make it anywhere on this?
"The Goods" w/ Jeremy Piven. My friends and I quote a few lines from it here or there, but with the Apatow group of comedians lead by Piven when Ari Gold was one of the most iconic characters on TV at the time, it fell soooooo flat.
I’m glad I never paid to see any of these movies
Rat Race - Cast includes: Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Lovitz, Kathy Najimy, Seth Green, John Cleese and Dave Thomas.
Just not funny. 🤷♀
