Favorite Parody of All Time.

Spaceballs is the only correct answer here!

Looks like you picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue.


Airplane! > Spaceballs.

Well, if you want a parody of something specific, Spaceballs.

Spaceballs was hardly 'specific' in its parody...! I think it took the piss out of every sci-fi genre of the eighties (and sci-fi lingo in general)... (granted SW is the primary target)...

And why has no one mentioned Robin Hood: Men in Tights [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107977/] yet?

Bugger... how could I forget that??

Afro Fist in God Hand.

(Skip to about 7:05 then) Look at him!


While Afro Fist is a particularly extreme example, the other 2 bosses in the video could also count.

Okay, since you limited the internet part to song parodies, Dragon Ball Z Abridged. If you haven't seen it, and liked Dragon Ball Z at least in one point of your life, seriously give it a look. Slow as all heck to update, but every update is like comedy gold, not a stinker in the bunch and we are to episode 27.

If it has to be big budget? Silent Movie. Or Spaceballs. Or Blazing Saddles. Or Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Or really anything that Mel Brooks has ever made.

Yeah, pretty much everything this person said. I'm a ridiculously huge fan of Mel Brooks. And DBZ Abridged is awesome.

Does TV count? Because Futurama is probably the best parody and like the original example, totally loving in much of its efforts.

Why nobody has said Life of Brian yet is a mystery to me. Possibly because thats a satire rather than a parody, I'm not that sure...

I was ;_;

OT: Robin Hood: Men in Tights

 

[putowtin]

Spaceballs
Blazing Saddles
Airplane!
Hot shots Part Deux
Loaded Weapon

I could go on... and on... and on (I love me some parodies)

Naked Gun. All of them, including the third. It wasn't the best of the three, yet it was still better than most!
