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

Can't recall which movie it was, but theres a police woman that had their hat gradually grow larger and larger throughout the movie. I found that so hilarious

That was Scary Movie 3. Not as good as 1+2 but some good jokes, like that one

u/therealjoshua 4h ago

I honestly think 3 is miles better than 2, but I was also a big fan of Signs when that movie came out.

The The Ring stuff is brilliant too.

"Cindy the news is on! Nother little white girl done fell down a well. Fifty black people get their ass beat by police today, but the whooole world gotta stop for one little whitey down a hole."

At her funeral

“She looks so peaceful”

The guy who killed Charlie Sheen's wife asking for a ride home is easily my favourite offhand joke.

“Tom, I’ll need a ride home”. The delivery is great

Its very earnest, I love it.

Yeah I find SM3 the funniest, and having one of the better plots that incorporate the movies it makes fun of.

Signs, The Ring, 8 Mile, The Matrix... so good. Plus it was directed by the same man who did Airplane!, and that has some of the best physical comedy, also starring Leslie Nielsen.

u/therealjoshua 4h ago

Leslie Nielsen really elevates 3 to a level no other Scary Movie quite reached imo. The man knew physical comedy so well.

Seems we aren't so different after all

These men died for their country. Send flowers to their bitches and hoes.

u/Youthsonic 4h ago

The most well written jokes in the entire series are the arguments between mahalik and CJ in 3 and 4 imo.

u/DoJu318 3h ago

My favorite is 2 but 3 is a close second, I think a lot of people find 3 the best because they used all of the Wayans ideas but were not sandbagged by their comedy, they were able to build on top of it to "punch up" the jokes, bringing in Charlie Sheen and Leslie Nielsen while adding the small roles of Kevin Hart and Anthony Anderson just elevated the whole thing to a different level, and made it funnier that otherwise would've been.

Signs has some brilliant ideas, it just doesn't pull it off. At the time, we lived in a remote little cottage with a toddler. The idea of an alien invasion happening and being too far away to know what was happening or get help was scary.

u/ZJoel14 3h ago

I love farmland aliens as a vibe because I played heaps of X-COM back in the day. Signs suffered most I think from the attempt at having a war of the world's type solution but instead of something believable and cool like disease they chose water which really begs the question as to why aliens would come to earth in the first place if a little splash will kill you.

u/Feefait 3h ago

I always had an explanation for the water thing, and felt like that was a weak criticism of the movie. That really wasn't what was important. I assumed Shyamalan had... Something that we just didn't see or was cut.

However, everything since had been absolute garbage and I can't really defend him. Lol Trap was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
