Favorite Spoofs

How could UHF be considered a spoof, instead of just a really silly (and deranged) movie? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this flick, but I dunno if I'd call it "Spoof", seeing as how it doesn't necessarily spoof anything.

I'd call it a spoof 'cause it's ridiculous like one. It does satire a lot of movies while doing really stupid stuff you would only see in a spoof (Weird Al's face being stretched).

True. Like all of Weird Al's daydreams of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rambo, that Dire Straits video, and whatever else. I guess that could be construed as spoofy, but keep in mind that movies like Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin, and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy are also silly/ridiculous/deranged in their style of comedy, just like UHF. Movies like Naked Gun, Top Secret, Hot Shots, and Blazing Saddles are making fun of other movies 100% throughout the movie, whereas UHF has its own silly storyline, but its not poking fun at other movies 100% through the movie except for when George (Weird Al) has his daydreams. Silly and wacky? Oh, hell yeah. Spoof? Nah. I don't think so.

Spaceballs 😄

😂 Maybe I should've just not made a poll.

Actually, "UHF" is a spoof of the movie "Network". It spoofs other films as well, in the programs they feature.

It very much belongs in the poll. It was myt favorite parody until "Shaun of the Dead" came along.

Hmmm......"Network"? Never heard of it. Is it any good?

Not Another Teen Movie was an odd one. i thought it was funny in places, but as a whole the movie just didn't do it for me. its trying WAY to hard to be funny to do it properly

Maybe I liked Not Another Teen Movie so much because my expectations were so low, seeing as it was trying to score off the popularity of Scary Movie. Nevertheless, I find it hilarious.

"But I'm the reformed popular guy that's learned the error of his ways."
"You're right!"

Hotshots 1+2
Loaded Weapon 1
Blazing Saddles
Scary Movie 1 (the sequels were awful and not funny)
