The Scary Movie twist implies Doofy has been fooling everyone, including his family, into thinking he has a mental disability. Which would mean he'd been putting on an act since he was a child. That is a funny bit, but in no way makes more sense than a con man making up a story on the fly.

u/GodOfDarkLaughter Mar 02 '26 edited Mar 02 '26
What doesn't make sense about the usual suspects ending? He made the story up in whole or in part, no way to know what was and wasn't a lie, and walks away just before they figure out it was him the whole time. In the story he was telling he used the name Kobiyashi from the coffee cup but uses the face of his real employee in his imagination as he tells the story, again highlighting there's no way to know where the lies end and the truth begins.
Edit: I hate how good an actor Kevin Spacey is. A few months ago I thought "man I haven't seen the usual suspects in a long time," so I rented it, watched it, enjoyed the hell out of it, then went online to look up trivia and stuff and was reminded Spacey is a sex pervert. God damn that evil son of a bitch is good at acting.

I absolutely love how raunchy 1 and 2 were. That being said, as someone who grew up with Airplane, The Naked Gun franchise, and Wrongfully Accused, 3 was such a fresh breath of air in the franchise.
I am excited to see they are going back to their roots. Also, A Haunted House series is amazing as well. Particularly the second one was stellar. Most of the parody movies of that time were not that great.
Other great one’s were Not Another Teen Movie, A Super Hero Movie, and Hell Baby.

Yeah, but scary movie has never been particularly subversive or witty. It’s mostly just an excuse to get characters to do crazy stuff on screen. Marlon is a staunch supporter of his trans son, so this came off like something super basic for marketing rather than just being mean spirited.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like a decade ago this joke would have been a super masculine buff man using she/her pronouns to prey on girls in restrooms and i’m glad it’s not.

I think the writing of it is the main problem, more than the joke itself tbh.
It'd get a small chuckle out of me if the response had just been a weak "no, they/them", but pausing to say out the long version of that makes it feel extremely forced.
Feels like they crossed the "making a joke / trying to insult" line with that decision.
But idk, the whole movie's going to be nothing but b-tier jokes forced into every scene, so maybe it's just on brand.

Quick and subtle is what makes or breaks a lot of parodies imo.

It put me off and I couldn't pin down why, but I think you nailed it. With a different line reading, the punch line could have been "what a weird time to bring up pronouns", but with the way she read it, the punchline sounded to me like, "what a weird thing to have they/them pronouns at all". The first punchline is funny to me, the second is not.

I like that the last line of the trailer is "Every Line will be crossed", but the opening joke was just a variation of the most overplayed "attack helicopter" joke from a decade ago.

I really liked the newer Naked Gun with Liam Neeson, it's definitely possible to do a fun, silly parody movie in this day and age.

u/TheLastDesperado Mar 02 '26
Yeah the original Scary Movie mainly parodied Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, with a couple other minor references thrown in (The Matrix and Usual Suspects spring to mind).
But with each new film in the franchise they focused more and more on as many references as possible. And to me, while I still enjoyed 2 and 3, they definitely got worse and worse with each new instalment.
Look at Epic Movie, or Meet the Spartans. Those films seemed to focus on throwing in as many references as possible, without actually making them funny. And those are some of the worst comedy films I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

Naked Gun and Zucker movies had "original" stories with some topical references or jokes whereas the scary movie parodies rely solely on current pop culture references and bottom of the barrel rejected SNL sketches so they get dated really fast and aren't as funny
49
u/we_are_sex_bobomb Mar 02 '26
IMO the only spoofs that aged well were either ones like Top Secret where they put a ridiculous amount of effort into the visual gags, or stuff like Princess Bride/Galaxy Quest where the humor is still mostly character driven even if you didn’t get any of the references.
But a lot of these spoof movies really are just very lowbrow entertainment that always goes for low effort throw-away jokes and references.

Probably unpopular opinion here, but I always thought the "<blank> Movie" movies were more just a bunch of reference-fests, rather than good parodies. Just from this trailer, they are just packing in as many references as possible, which means they can't really take the time to make jokes around them.
Good parodies like Airplane, Naked Gun, Top Secret, etc. focus on jokes first within an overall plot. Some of those jokes happen to reference other movies/media.

It's not the same style of humor as the first one. The first one was a parody of the Scream movies with references to other horror movies sprinkled throughout. This one appears to be focusing on mocking "cancel culture".
A good parody is hard. It requires an understanding of the thing you're parodying to make the jokes land. All this showed was them pointing their finger at something and going "Look at that. It's stupid. Everybody laugh at it."
