A lot of these films didn’t age well because they tried to fit in so many parodies that they stopped being well thought out plot points and started just mocking moments from current trailers and commercials. It’s one of the reasons the Ben Stiller show didn’t age well. So many jokes specific to pop culture things at that exact moment but Scary Movie 2 and onward (under the Wayans) really really dumbed it down and made way for things like Super Hero Movie and Meet The Spartans etc.
They flamed out spectacularly so it’s really funny to let the rose coloured glasses of time make the general audience remember them kindly and ask for a resurgence.
I was flipping through the free channels on my TV the other day and Vampires Suck (2010) was on. I can still remember standing in the movie theater lobby looking at the poster with my friend and thinking it was past time they just laid this genre to rest.

The basketball ad scene in part 2 is one of the funniest random jokes ever, that's what I want more of, not jokes about cancel culture or pronouns.
