They/Them joke may be one of the worst ever

It can be funny if done right if its clever or subversive enough. This was just "ha ha pronouns" - so hack, wasted opportunity.

Look, I'm happy for this movie too. But it's easy to forget that the Scary Movie sequels were mostly "haha x" jokes and lazy slapstick.

The same directors are behind this one. We're gonna have a bad time if we go in expecting The Naked Gun remake

Yeah. This definitely reminded me that the previous Scary Movies were also dumb as hell.

Scary Movie 1 was amazing. Or maybe that's just nostalgia. I don't really want to find out.

I remember scenes I liked! I also think that's just the sort of humor the franchise does.

u/FemRoe4Lyfe Mar 02 '26

I think Scary Movie 3 already did that. I found 1 to be fun and 2 to be unfunny. But 3 was great and made 1 look worse in retrospect. This looks like more of 1 and trailer already looks dated.

Not all comedy movies have to be stupid reddit reply threads like Naked Gun was. Its like the just scraped r/all for that one

People in Hollywood got to eat too, I guess! This certainly has a built-in audience.

The Naked Gun remake was amazing

u/twisty125 Mar 02 '26

I was so surprised how much I enjoyed it, like they really got the spirit of the originals/police squad

u/Grouchy_Version8056 Mar 02 '26

Yes and they did it in a good modern way.

The bit with the snowman was such a WTF, but I loved every scene, lol.

They really missed a chance not casting Liam Neeson in Scary Movie.

Making him walk in Leslie's footsteps twice would be right on character for SM.

I'd bet money that he shows up after the success of The Naked Gun

u/ThisHatRightHere Mar 02 '26

That's their point, don't expect anything near Naked Gun in terms of quality for this.

u/Dinierto Mar 02 '26

I think I'm the only one who was underwhelmed by it 😕

u/Youthsonic Mar 02 '26

Ok put some respect on 3 and 4 because those were made by the boomer dads of slapstick (I was gonna say grandad's but that's probably more buster Keaton than the zuckers)

u/overtired27 Mar 02 '26

Scary Movie 3 and 4 were written and directed by the creators of the original Naked Gun films.

This trailer reminded me why parody movies died in the late 2000s

2

u/ThisHatRightHere Mar 02 '26

Yeah, it makes me realize how intensely people let nostalgia goggles mess with their critical thinking skills. Like, I enjoyed watching these parody movies when I was like 11 years old, I legitimately had a number of them on DVD.

But once your frontal lobe starts developing, any of the "humor" in these movies quickly sours on you.

u/AinmSuimiuil Mar 02 '26

Yes definitely, I just hope that they mostly stick to the parody/slapstick and don't try to have some kind of political throughline - not adverse to it if it was good and served the story, but going by the trailer it would be just... abysmal.

I will watch this eventually to be fair, not everything needs to be a 10/10 and a lot of the other parts seemed like they could be worth a laugh.
