What is your favorite parody movie?

[BoredDragon]

Today, parody movies seem to be the worst comedies at the box office. However, I remember a time when the parody movie was once a thriving creature, who had legitimate jokes that made you laugh instead of stupid pop-culture references. It might seem like I'm some old guy saying "everything was better back in my day" but I'm actually 18, so I'm not sure if I can actually say that I remember because I don't think I was alive when the good parodies were out

Anyway, my favorite of the parody genre almost went to Airplane, but I had to cave to Spaceballs:

So escapists, what are your favorite parody movies?

I'd have to go with another Mel Brooks movie: Blazing Saddles.

"Go do that voodoo that you do so well!"

 

[Bassman_2]

History of the World, Part 1
I'm still waiting for Part 2.

I suppose the servant waits while the master baits.

 

[Wapox]

I love Space Balls too... BUT:

Meet the Spartans has got to be my favorite.... xD

 

[ZtH]

Hmm, I second Blazing Saddles. I was tempted to say Starship Troopers but it has been pointed out to me that it wasn't a parody.....whoops

 

[katsumoto03]

The Dark Knight. A brilliant parody of the Batman comic series (which were a brilliant parody of the concept of Batman, which was a brilliant parody of... silliness.)

 

[Gaiseric]

Four way tie between Airplane!, Black Dynamite, Robin Hood Men in Tights, and Spaceballs

 

[Solo-Wing]

Scary Movie 4

Fucking lawls

 

[Jazoni89]

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

My Favourite parody movie, and one of my favourite movies.

It's also incredibly funny, the first time i watched it i nearly died from laughing so hard.

And even to this day, me and my friend always quote it.

"At that moment, the chosen one learned a valuable lesson about iron claws THEY HURT LIKE CRAP MAN!"

Shame their wasn't a sequel, even though it was planned to have one.

(Plus in my mind it was the only film to have ever made a fart gag hilarious)

Great choice OP. That is my favorite parody movie as well.

 

[Jazoni89]

Shaun of the Dead.

Oh yes, how can I forget about that gem.

 

[Super Six One]

I'm a fan of Talladega Nights : Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

If your not first, your last

 

[twistedmic]

Space Balls and Robin Hood: Men in tights rank right up there as my favorite parodies. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz come in a close second (mostly because they don't seem to be completely parody movies).

 

[varulfic]

TEAM America: World Police

Perfect parody of Michael Bay-esq movies, and... well, everything else it comes in contact with.

 

[Nouw]

Shaun of the Dead.

When they pretended to be zombies, it just cracked me up.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Definitely Hot Fuzz. Damn I love Edgar Wright.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Hot Shots Part Deux

Charlie Sheen stars in it, every line is comedy gold.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Guys, where's the love for Airplane?

Surely you can't be serious?!

 

[MadCapMunchkin]

Anything that Mel Brooks has done. THAT is real comedy.

 

[IndianaJonny]

Space Balls and Robin Hood: Men in tights rank right up there as my favorite parodies. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz come in a close second (mostly because they don't seem to be completely parody movies).

I'll second Robin Hood: Men in Tights as well as Shaun of the Dead.
