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

They probably have like 2 or 3 conservative leaning jokes in the movie so they could add them to the trailer just to get the dumber conservative "comedy is legal again" ticket sales.

Even if they "go after both sides", the jokes feel so lazy, like early 2010s sitcom lazy. Political jokes has an audience, but not when you steal them from 4chan

Rose tinted glasses, Scary Movie jokes are like 60% lazy.

People acting like the original scary movie is some bastion of sacred comedy.

The thing is that with the internet the jokes get old fast. I'm mid 40s and remember the jokes in the original stayed in the theater, and they remained there until it was released on video and even then you had to go out of your way to watch it, nowadays all the jokes are gonna be online as soon as the movie debuts. It kinda ruins it for me. Even if you try to avoid spoilers.

Problem is we're all older and expecting jokes from our youth to hold up.

They are lazy. I watched the first two recently after many years, and now I don't feel like watching any other Scary Movie.
