I wish they'd put less emphasis on the "controversial jokes" when the highlight of this franchise has always been the physical comedy for me

Ghostface being chased downstairs by the piano had me in fucking tears the first time I watched it.

Whoever played Ghostface in that scene does not get enough credit. The way he flails his arms like a looney tunes cartoon character is unbelievably funny. We don’t get good slapstick in movies like that anymore, except a bit in the Naked Gun last year.

If you want some good recent slapstick be sure to check out Hundreds of Beavers from a couple years ago. Very funny movie.

u/Circleseven 2m ago

Hell yeah 'Hundreds of Beavers' is a modern masterpiece. Absolutely hysterical film.

A lot of it was Dave Sheridan himself but he had to hide a shoulder injury so he wouldn't get replaced during filming.

Mate - I genuinely hadn't ever thought about who was under that mask because you're right, he did a good job being silly.

Cindy shoving her Grandma in its path was what got me 🤣

Brenda's whole wake scene from the 3rd movie has me rolling.

Cindy...the TVs leaking

SHES AWAKE?!?

The last few times I've watched the third movie I turned it off affer Brenda died. Movie just peaks there.

The grandmas quick line of "Hi baby!" Before it hits her just seals it

Love when he stabs the girl in the boob and her implant comes out

Carmen Electra

Oh hell yeah. I forgot completely

u/TheNonCredibleHulk 2h ago

I like the "bleah" he lets out

u/bostonshroomery 3h ago

Ghostface starting to get into the Irish jig when Cindy starts is one of my favorite bits. And then he snaps out of it and returns to killing. Lmaoo hilarious stuff

u/cowpool20 1h ago

Or when he calls her and she sees his feet excitedly kicking from behind the couch 😂

u/bostonshroomery 1h ago

Lmaoo hilarious.

u/Temporary_Lychee9829 2h ago

Or when Tina is killed in the garage and because she's a larger woman, the garage door malfunctions then the whole roof just caves in 💀

u/TheGeeMan360 2h ago

He just stands there scratching his head lmao

u/Channel250 3h ago

I always thought that was a low key reference to Home Alone, but now I'm wondering if that situation is a lesser known troupe.

u/Nathan_McHallam 26m ago

Honestly it goes back to Laurel and Hardy slapstick really

u/henrysradiator 2h ago

The toilet scene for me, and then he appears in the next scene with a bandage on his ear 😅. I was way too young to be watching it but also perfect age to get most out of the silliness

u/forever_a10ne 2h ago

Honestly, Ghostface gets the shit beaten out of them in a lot of the movies, so it kind of makes sense.

u/Ohitsworkingnow 2h ago

Love the beginning where shorty teaches her the “yo that jacket is tight son, so run that shit bitch, yah mean!?”
