Favorite Spoofs

What are some of your favorite spoof movies?

Spaceballs
Loaded weapon 1
Airplane!
Naked gun
Naked gun 22 1/2
Naked gun 33 1/3
hot shots 2

Oh yeah, I forgot to put SpaceBalls and Loaded Weapon in the poll. I didn't put much thought into it because I knew I wasn't going to cover nearly all the good ones.

Flying High/Airplane! is hillarious!

Well Shrek isn't really a spoof, it just has referances that are spoof-like.

Shrek is a satire of fairy tales, not really a spoof.

Spoofs tend to make direct references to other movies, are usually live-action (I can't think of any that aren't), and are ridiculous.

A very good one, though it may not appear that way when you see it in the Walmart $5.50 bin, is Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th. I think it's a damn shame that Scary Movie was all popular while Shriek is DTV.

I pretty much live for spoofs, given they're done right;

Airplane!
Top Secret!
Mafia!
Hot Shots!
Hot Shots: Part Deux
Scary Movie 3
Shriek If You Know..
Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
Naked Gun Trilogy
Nat'l Lampoons Loaded Weapon 1
CB4
Don't Be A Menace..
Kentucky Fried Movie
Spaceballs
Wrongfully Accused
Kung Pow

Spy Hard was actually pretty pathetic, Not Another Teen Movie was too...teen humour for me, and naturally there have been some other somewhat decent spoofs.

Not Another Teen Movie I found hilarious for some reason, I figured it would be as bad as the first two Scary Movies. I wounded up really liking it.

Space Travesty was awful.

Spaceballs!!!

love spaceballs

Spaceballs is amazing. But so is everything Mel Brooks does. Also really enjoyed Not Another Teen Movie. Spoofs make me laught. 🙂

yes, Spaceballs ✅

I can't believe no one here mentioned "Blazing Saddles". It's, bar none, my favorite spoof of all time. Other honorable mentions (which I own):

Spaceballs
Airplane!
Top Secret!
Hot Shots!
Hot Shots! Part Deux
The Naked Gun trilogy
Scary Movie
Kentucky Fried Movie
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

I personally thought movies like Mafia!, and the Scary movie sequels were too corny. They're watchable, but I dont own the DVD's.

Blazing Saddles is hilarious, I love it, but would that be considered a spoof?

Absolutely. Mel Brooks spoofed the enitre Western movie genre with Blazing saddles. Think about it: Airplane! spoofed all those dramatic crisis-on-an-airplane flicks, Naked Gun spoofed cop movies, and even Top Secret! spoofed espionage/spy flicks. Blazing Saddles did just that for westerns. Brooks reportedly offered a cameo role to The Duke himself, John Wayne. But Wayne respectfully declined stating, "Sorry Mel, I can't be in a western film with the line "Blow it out your ass!', but I'll be the first one in line to see it."
