The Inevitable Downfall Of The Scary Movie Franchise
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- When the first Scary Movie debuted in theaters, the slasher genre was at an all time high. Movies like Scream and New Nightmare were captivating audiences everywhere. But with Scary Movie's perfect parody being such a success it wouldn't be long for the parody genre to play itself out with a tidal wave of terrible movies. How exactly did Scary Movie's success lead to the downfall of an entire genre?

"Not Another Teen Movie" was another underrated parody movie.
That's one of my top movies. Wise janitor for the win.
Randy Quaid as the dad was priceless. That was before randy lost his mind in real life.
Seeing Captain America with a banana in his butt alone makes it great. Jk but yeah its a great movie I loved it as a kid.
Totally agree. Love that movie.
It was, I wanted to see a sequel to that movie.
You nailed it. Those two guys just mass producing parody movies did kill the genre.
It should be one of the deadly sins to overproduce parody movies.
@@Jokervision744 I think they both said that they didn’t care it was just money to them but then again what are they doing now nothing
They literally admitted to never even watching more than the trailer for most of the parodies they crammed into each movie! Pretty sure the closest knit parodies that ever came from them was Meet The Spartans and Superhero Movie, with Superhero Movie being the obvious better of the two, but honestly that bar is pretty damn low for them. They wrote a rejected script for the first Scary Movie that was literally bought for the sole purpose of being thrown out, and they’ve been riding the high of that undeserved writing credit ever since!
@@therealCrazyJake Superhero Movie wasn't a Seltzerberg film though
The Wayans family are literal GOATs. Glad their roles in the franchise wasn't understated in this video. The Wayans Bros is one of my favorite sitcoms.
we're brothers, we're happy and we're singing
Agree, they are the GOATs. Marlon is severely underrated for his versatility but also comedy. He is completely nuts and funny in the old sitcom. They were the key to Sacry Movie's success. After they got cut out, theh went on to continue making widely popular or funny movies like White Chicks. I was a big fan of Little Man and i think Marlon has another funny parody of 50 shades of grey.
@@greenrobot5 give me a high five
Need you to look up the definition of literal.
@@jaym8988 need you to look up the definition of figure of speech and hyperbole
Cindy and Brenda made these movies so good once they weren't in it it was downhill.
They were in 3 and as a kid I had sorta laughs and felt okay with it I've never bothered as an adult because I've seen it enough to know I wouldn't really enjoy it anymore.

Scary Movie 3 is legit one of my favourite films ever made, every joke in it is so stupid but it makes me laugh every time
"I have i dream"
"What is your dream?"
"To have a dream"
Scary Movie 2 is my favorite, Dwight losing against Hanson after starting the fights every time is funny asf
The fucking hat growing makes me laugh so fucking hard like who the hell thought of that joke it was so unnecessarily funny 😂😂
Scary movie 3 is legit not as good as 1 and 2, but I love the scene where the aliens are like "Yeah man, we greet people by peeing on them out of our fingers!"
Nah scary movie 3 was dog😂 jokes aren't funny and it's obsessed with people getting hurt. Boring AF too if ur not laughing it's just a stupid movie.
Two people.
Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer effectively destroyed the parody genre in theatrical movies.
Edit: Holy crap! Thanks for my first 1000 likes!
Agreed, those 2 bozos ruined the reputation of what parody can truly accomplosh
I agree. They made parody films a thing of the past.
They should've never been involved with the first two.
@@OmarTafur75 In a way, at least they never got a chance to make "Parody Movie"
@@OddOneOut665 I believer that they are responsible for all the parody scenes that had nothing to do with horror
Scary Movie 3 had one particular scene that still makes me laugh 20 years later. It's the classroom scene, and out of nowhere, while the teacher is talking with the main character, something is thrown from off camera and hits the chalkboard. The teacher suddenly says "Who the F**K threw that?" Gets me every single time.
The metric shit ton of crayons that randomly get tossed at the board LMAO
Lol Gail swallows!
Scary movie 3 is so under appreciated
Right I always lose my shit at that scene too! The randomness of the throw, the aggressiveness Brenda treats her students, Cindy shocked face lmaooo
YES LMAO my favorite scene!
The “what are you waiting for” scene gets me every damn time
What am I waiting for? WHAT AM I WAITING FOR?! F**K YOUUUUU! *splat*
Scary movie 3 is actually so fucking hilarious and underrated, Charlie Sheen & Leslie Nielsen were comedy gold
Exactly! I honestly love it a lot more than the first couple of movies.
It's the movie that helped me get over "The Ring".
I really shouldn't watch horror films. I'm too much of a wuss. 😂
@@alyzu4755 dude the Ring screwed me as a kid. I watched horror movies and was read horror stuff to as a little kid so I'm really good at horror movies but that one got me. I wasn't super scared watching it but we watched it late at night in my room and afterwards when I was alone I was to scared to leave my bed.
@@IAmTheDoctor00 Right?!?!?
I have no excuse. I was 34 when I watched it. 😂😂😂
Bruh 🤣 people don't say that enough! Scary Movie 3 is a classic. I used to laugh so freaking hard at the Signs and The Ring jokes.
The first three movies in the franchise are genuinely hilarious send ups, but everything after that just feels incredibly forced. They really should have quit while they were ahead.
"These men died for their country. Send flowers to their bitches and hos." 🤣🤣🤣
Idk seems like I’m the only one who also liked the 4th one… it’s ok? But it’s the last one I would suggest watching for sure
@@fabiofuoco I agree number 4 is just idk it was very very different. They made Cindy more stupider and jokes just forced. Number 5 honestly idk what that was.
3 has more “white guy humor” 1&2 had more jokes for the “culture“ So if you’re white I can see why you like the 3rd.
@@youngrosie1 Im not white first of all & 3 does have a white humor based on the movies they parodied and It was not to please white people that’s ignorant 🤣
Scary Movie 1 & 2, as crass as they are, actually had _some_ love and care put into it, and Scary Movie 1 effectively succeeded in spoofing a movie that was already a horror movie spoof (Scream). But from Scary Movie 3 onwards (along with any other spoof movie), you can tell that the producers cared a lot more about the juvenile and slapstick humor and pop culture references than actual parodying. And lest we forget, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer slowly killed the genre with each passing “movie” and it still disappoints me.
I still liked 3. Absolutely more slapstick, but still funny. They parodied things like Signs and The Sixth Sense, which still had some horror/thriller elements worth skewering. after that, 100% trash.
@@jhoff6670 Also Kevin Hart and Anthony Anderson was hilarious in 3
I found 3 was way better then 2...scary movie 2 is just loud and crass..
@@jhoff6670 watched 1 to 4 with the gf a couple of weeks ago. 1 and 2 are the obvious standouts but you are right, the 3rd got me giggling like a baby in places. Sad it went the way it did 👍🏾
True
The Wayans made the first two the best parody movies in the genre. 3 gets a pass since it still works but without the Wayans, the films lost their charm.
I love those movies but as far as parody goes I love Walk Hard. But that may have biase since I love Johnny Cash and Walk the Line. Plus Mr.Cox...can't remember the actors name... is usually in movies I find awesome. And Jenna Fischer is awesome. And attractive which doesn't hurt.
@@IAmTheDoctor00 that film is overlooked and agree with you there!
I watched the 4th one in theatres as a kid. Still love it.
The first 2 definitely was hilarious !!!!! Number 3 is funny but definitely is very different they added too much pop culture. Number 4 idk didn’t like it they made Cindy just more stupider

SpaceBalls was one of the best parody movies ever, because the performances were sincere and the special effects were actually good.
We aint found shyt!!!! Lol
Watching this has just made me want to watch a lot of Mel Brooks movies. By far my fav parody films.
Young Frankenstein was my fav growing up.
@@nathanieldavis5753 this comment made me laugh. Thanks for this.
It is incredibly great, I watched it just last week and it still made me laugh a lot, some scenes were a bit stupid but it was a perfect snd cohesive parody story that not only tied in thr humour with the plot but also broke thr Fourth Wall several times and each time was just as funny.
Special effects were good because George Lucas let them use his team.
Scary Movie 3 still has probably one of the funniest bits in the entire franchise with two dudes discussing paradoxes and getting progressively more intense lmao
“CINDY THE TV’S LEAKING”
Let me just say, A Haunted House showcased that the Wayans really were the missing piece with the Scary Movie franchise.
Honest to god, while the Superhero Movie had a low production value, the jokes in that movie have some of the best deliveries of any parody movie
"I'm not wearing any diamonds!"
Drake Bell was great in it as well. Glad to see Superhero movie get some love.
Is Leslie Nelson for me
Many people dont know its writers are the same from the airplane movies
@@equivalentexchangeisalie5726 actually i think drake sucked at it as usual... But that makes his character even better

And honestly, those late 90s to mid 2000s parody, teen, high-school and road trip movies are just hilarious and nostalgic of another time.

@@youngrosie1 What do you define as "white guy humor?" Specifically in Scary Movie 3 and some comedies from that time frame in general?
Scary Movie 1&2 are definitely funnier and have a few more cultural jokes but overall it was super accessible to everyone I'd say. But the Wayans are geniuses like that. They appeal to everyone. White Chicks being another great example of that.

Anna Farris was gold in the first two
I think you missed the part where the Wayans Brothers were fired by the Weinstein company because they were afraid it was effecting the sales of the Scream Franchise and to take financial control of the Scary Movie Franchise
I know right I was thinking the same thing like wtf?!? That’s a HUGE PART OF THE STORY 😭🤦🏽♂️
Wait, they were afraid cause It boosted the Scream Sales or cause It made them worse
Scary Movie 3 the scene where Leslie Nielsen as the president thinks that the aliens are attacking absolutely kills me every time. Yeh the film isn't as good as the first two, but it's still nowhere near the depths of some of the other films mentioned. Special honourable mention of Not Another Teen Movie as well, that very effectively parodies the teen movie genre and has a stellar cast.
Superhero Movie is actually really underrated
Yeah that one doesn't belong with the others. It was directed by Criag Mazin who has recently directed a lil indie hit show not many people have seen called "The Last of Us"
I was about to say, that movie still gets referenced today.
That one is amazing. Maybe not as good as Scary Movies 1 and 2, but still.

🤮
I wouldn’t be surprised if you also liked Starving Games
@@JWWE7903 no
Also Epic Movie
Bullshit flick
"Shriek if you know what I did the last Friday the 13th" was also another parody movie on the horror movie genre released in the same year as the first Scary Movie film and easily gets overshadowed and overlooked by it.
I loved the first 3 Scary Movies. Horror movies used to terrify me and funnily enough, Scary Movie 3 actually helped me get over The Ring!
Yes! Same here. In fact, I used to be kind of scared of even the Ring portrayals in Scary Movie 3 when I first watched it. But, because I had a big appreciation for SM3 in general, I kept watching, and eventually became desensitized, lol
I have a soft spot in my heart for this genre of films as I grew up in the early 2000’s. Some of the biggest laughs of my childhood stem from these movies
Same. They're not great, but something about the genre just does it for me and I still laugh at the jokes. Shamed to say but low brow movies like Kentucky Fried Movie and Movie 43 have me belly laughing the entire time.
Same. Especially Scary Movie 3 and Suoerhero Movie. I have watched those over and over. Great fun.

U seen Freddy got fingered?
Yes! I’m very glad you covered the scary movie series!
I always felt that Dewey Cox never got enough recognition. I loved John C. Reilly in that parody.
I always wish Detention had gotten more attention - it’s an amazing movie that manages to parody multiple films and genres, is smart and doesn’t have to explain its jokes and EVERY single joke in it has a pay off and plays into the story. Such a great film.
Why didn't you bring up what the Wayans brothers said about them not even owning their idea and the studio cutting them out? The first 2 were funny because the Wayans family knows their stuff and write the first 2
Wrote* sorry for being THAT guy :p
Very true the Wayne’s brothers had something good but unfortunately got took away from them
@Andyy L you're not sorry if you were sorry you wouldn't have done it. It's a UA-cam comment, not an English exam
@@Journey24215 eat my ass partner. It was obviously a jokey nonsense throw away comment.
The 1st Scary Movie is an absolute iconic movie and classic.
Culturally it was everywhere.
For months and even years after its release, you would hear or see a reference.
I mean look at the wassup scene.
Everyone around age 30 I know knows about it.
I've been loving the naked gun and police squad clips lately. There's just something different about that style of parody
There’s one clip that makes me laugh every goddamn time. They’re looking for someone and determine he’s in the Red Light District.
Frank asks something like “What would bring a man to the red light district?”
Ed asks “Sex, Frank?”
And Leslie Nielsen has the best delivery of “…not right now, Ed.”
That man was a comedy genius.
If Malcolm D. Lee could've done a better job directing a Scary Movie in the 2000s
Have anyone seen UNDERCOVER BROTHER?
"You mess with the fro...you got to GO!"
"It's time to release our secret weapon. I call it...black man's kryptonite."
"heck if I know..affirmative action??!"
Scary Movie one and 2 were a big part of my childhood. 3 had its moments but it was all downhill after 2
Truth!
Exactly! 3 was a downgrade and 4 and 5 should’ve never been made
I don't think so
3 was great imo
4 is okay because i love Wotw
I didnt even watch 5
I strongly disagree, 3 was fantastic.
Love your channel man! Love the credit you gave the Wayans!
I really loved this video! Just found this channel! This was a really great observation into these films! I always wondered where things went wrong and why they got so bad!
Scary Movie 3 is so hilarious, the rap battle always gets me
"And Martha Steward happens to be my hero"😂😂😂
It went from "funny movies with original jokes based on franchises that matter at the time" to "whats trending? Throw some internet memes on it"
'You can trace them all the way back to the 1900s'
So...twenty-four years ago?
Superhero Movie is such an underrated gem as a parody film and so much more relevant now at the closing times of the current superhero movie boom
Agreed. I can rewatch Superhero Movie and chuckle a few times...but with the others (Date Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.) it took me several attempts to get through them and I've never even thought about rewatching them.
SCARY MOVIE 5 should've come earlier
It came out at a time where the parody genre had died
Ironically, series writer Craig Mazin is doing pretty good rn with Chernobyl and The Last of Us.
I grew up loving Mel Brooks and The Zucker Bro's films. I think one parody film you're missing to connect the generations is Major League. Anyway - yeah Scary Movie holds a special place in my heart because it really was a parody made with love. It got over the top, crass and silly but it never lost sight of what it was doing.
You said it best though. Good video!
That's awesome to hear that Mel Brooks is making another movie. In the beginning of the video, when it brought up Mel Brooks, the first thing that came to my mind was "that dude better make at least one more movie before he dies."
Super Hero Movie is actually pretty solid. It loses some of its momentum towards the end, but it's decent overall
Scary Movie (1) was like Weird Al's White and Nerdy to me. I saw it before I saw the movie that it parodied.
Lol how did you miss that song xD it's not in my taste but even I think universal was playing it when I was there one day its was nearly inescapable for a while.
@@IAmTheDoctor00 I think you misunderstood me. Scary movie is to Scream the same as White and Nerdy was to Riding Dirty.
The parody surpassed the original creation.
@@HolybasilYTSomeone lied to you, in no way has any Scary Movie ever came close to the impact and success of Scream, if you asked someone to name a character or moment I doubt they could, they're one-note ripoffs of existin' ones, Scream redefined the slasher genre and has iconic characters with plenty of shameless parodies and real life murders linked to it
I’m glad you mentioned Popstar. I’ve always thought it was weird how nobody ever talks about it. I thought it was great. Extremely underrated. Also, Walk Hard is one of the best comedies of all time.
I don’t know many creators whose videos I’d watch with scary movie being the focus. I trust you, though. I watched all the way through, and I like your take aways without the scary. Thank you.
I personally think the third scary movie movie was the best
By a landslide.
Yuck 😆
Agreed. Love the farting chair scene with the Oracle
SM 1&2 were the biggest movies for us burnouts when they came out. I feel like 3 and on lost the magic.
Don’t be a Menace to South Central is probably the best parody movie ever imo.
The fourth wall break always gets me. “She got more kids than Miss Wayans.”
What are you talking about, SM 3 was great
I was rewatching these the past week XD Now this video.
ah man,, no mention of Jane Austen's Mafia! my favorite when I was a kid
Dewey Cox is legendary! One of my favorite films.
And yeah the Scary Movie franchise was totally a blast. I wouldn’t mind a parody movie resurgence.
Scary movie 1+2 and Not another teen movie were my favorite comedies of my teens
My favorite pary of melbrooks is how quickly they went from one gag to another. A lame gag like "candy gram for mongo" was so short it didn't matter if it didn't land.
In scary movie 3 when the guys face is blurry in the picture and in real life KILLLS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is the last truly great parody movie.
The Scary Movie franchise died when the Weinstein’s decided to fire the Wayans after the success of the first two movies
I think Marlon said it best in A Haunted House:
“When are they gonna stop making scary movies without the Wayans? They fucking suck!”
Kung Pow Enter the Fist was a masterful parody of martial arts film and it's criminal that he was never able to make a sequel
Superhero Movie is an underrated masterpiece, pretty much the only parody movie after Scary Movie 2 that was genuinely really good
These movies were so funny to me as a kid! My favorite part is still in Scary Movie 3 when the guy cocks his shovel like a gun and a bullet comes out 🤣
1: timeless classic
2: really frigging good with some humor you wont get unless you was there that year
3:pretty okay. Worth a rewatch at least a few times with a couple iconic moments
Anything after i walked out of the theater
Agreed. First and second movie (especially the first one) were great. It was a "made for fans by fans"-type of deal. I love when that happens, because the genuine passion is there. That's why I don't mind smaller budgets, since it tends to come with greater creativity. As you mentioned, Airplane and the Naked Gun movies and also Mel Brooks' movies, are gems. I just feel disappointed in the direction modern parody movies are taking. I'm a former filmstudent, and in its core my teachers were adament in teaching us to value quality over quantity.
Scary movie 1 is my go to movie whenever i’m bored or can’t choose what to watch.
I think the video missed one important thing: UA-cam, TikTok and the rise of online comedy. Now if we want parodies, it’ll usually come about from creators on those channels and more timely since they’re quicker to make
There was a time around the late 2010s where there seemed to be kind of a boom of soft rebooting horror films by making sequels that ignored previous sequels and continue from the first and I thought that was a good moment for somebody to revive the franchise. I think Jordan Peele would probably be able to successfully do it.
Great video!
Credit where credit is due.. Walk Hard is legitimately one of the absolute most hilarious movies ever made. They parodied music biopics flawlessly and just in general it's a good movie with an actual plot and incredible characters. Shit even the songs are extremely well written as well as genuinely funny. Personally, I think Walk Hard is easily in the same league as the first Scary Movie and in just my opinion I think Walk Hard is actually the better and funnier movie out the two. I could spend the next 15 minutes recapping all the tropes that they nail perfectly but I'm tired so instead, I think everyone should just take the time to go back and watch Walk Hard again.
(I'm willing to admit that the fact I am a big fan of the music/celebrity/historical biopic genre and thus all the jokes skewering that tropes from that genre land really well to me because I am so familiar with them. That may be why I appreciate and love Walk Hard as much as I do. But it is still a comedy masterpiece whether you get all the references or not.)
Walk Hard was awesome, it and Hot Fuzz are the only parody films I return to over and over again.
I honestly have the scary movie series to thank in getting over my childhood fears of the horror genre. I can always find something to laugh at in these movies now and give me a way to enjoy them opposed to being to scared to understand anything.
I was wishing there would be a parody film called "Animated Movie." It would have all of the crass humor of the Scary Movies but it would have people dressed up as characters from the Disney Princesses to characters from Toy Story etc. I guess the closest we got to a animated movie parody was "Shrek."
I'm surprised Will Ferrel wasn't mentioned here. His filmography is practically a case study of the diminishing returns of parody movies. I guess his movies aren't strictly parody, a fair amount of them were just comedy that had elements of parody in them.
I really enjoyed Stranger than Fiction.
He isn't meant to be a comedy actor. He isn't funny, his films aren't funny, and his attempts at zaniness just fall flat every single time.
But he is a solid actor.
I just watched the second movie last week with my sister & after all these years, the way we belly laugh never changes. Truly something from our childhood that has not lost its luster for us.
There's a reason why MST3K rifts these films
The world needs Space Balls 2!!!
No idea Mel Brooks was making another film. So excited!
1 is probably the best parody film ever made.
Scary Movie wasnt the same after The Wayne bros left. that was the major difference
Does anyone know which movie is at 6:16?
Curious to see your perspective on Tropic Thunder, we need more movies like it today to help people take life less seriously
Spoof film come back. Please.
Honestly, Scary Movie 3 is my favorite out of all of them by a landslide. I distinctly recall kinda liking the second movie and being utterly underwhelmed by the first one. Guess it's all a matter of personal taste.
You break it down bro that’s why I subscribed
Even though the Wayans didn't make it, Scary movie 3 was probably the last good one before 4 and the godawful 5.
3 was a proper spoof that the original was. It wasn't excessively making rapid fire references to other movies, but using films like Signs and Ring to connect it's own storyline with it's own slapstick humor, although more streamline than the first two. In terms of the trilogy, it's better than Scary movie 2 even though I like that one as well.
The weird al yankovic biopic parody was one of the best movies I saw of the last decade
Fucking hell, the last fifteen minutes of that movie were like a fever dream. I thought I was too stoned and rewatched it and went “….oh, that was what happened.”
It was wild. Daniel Radcliffe absolutely killed it. I can’t imagine anyone else playing Al that well.
The first 2 scary movies were the best. Everything else that followed was a cash grab
3 was a cash grab, but it was still bloody hilarious.
@@ignatiusjackson235 agreed!
The thing that Naked Gun and Scary Movie and the Mel Brooks movies have in common, is they are all well written, plot driven stories, with organic jokes through out. The common thing with the failed parody movies is they are all a loose collection of jokes that are kind of connected to a theme. The former are classics that are held up as pinnacles of comedic story telling. The latter are forgotten as soon as the theater seats cool
And they’re veeeery dated.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights was like that too, sadly. What a shame.
The Dewey Cox story and Not Another Teen Movie are legit too
Superhero Movie is pure gold
Personally after 2, i didn’t like any of them (3 was ok)
Thanks to Scream and I Know What you Did Last Summer - New Nightmare was a bomb inspiring no one and predates Scream - which set off the meta schtick and IKWYDLS was a successful earnest horror film with little meta that got that side of the ball rolling harder.
Scary Movie 1, 2 and 3 are absolutely hilarious and number 3 is especially underrated.
Only issue for these movies is I can’t take certain horror moves serious. Scream movies I just can’t take serious as ghostface I just find funny 😂😂
Which is why the Wienstein company got the Wayans off the franchise.
Scary Movie was a one hit wonder.
Sound dumb af the 2 is GOATED
The first 4 will and always be the best.
3*
The first one was just absolutely gut busting when I saw it. 2 was okay. 3 was... there. Just all the way down.
The rise of the internet is an incredibly important part of the equation that this video neglects.
