Superhero Movie - a spoof film from 2008. A rather hilarious take on superhero films from the 2000's, it truly was the best spoof film at the time... and it's conceptually ahead of its time. Director Craig Mazin did an outstanding job, let's talk about Superhero Movie!

I watched this movie it was hilarious but at times stupid
I never Watch it, I don’t like Parody’s that make fun of my favorite Characters.
drake is a child man
i wish he wasn’t
Who’s Drake Bell, he changed his name to Drake Campana
Literally Bell only in Spanish in order to appeal more to his audience.
“Titanium blades. They cut through DIAmonds.”
“I’m not WEARING any diamonds!”
What's with the capitalization?
this movie is infinitely quotable
@@MaxIronsThird The actors in this scene put a lot of emphasis onto the capitalized parts of the words when they read these lines.
my favourite quote ever
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince ju
The reboot should star Josh Peck as Drake Bells characters more successful brother.
omg that would be perfect
this comment should have hundreds of likes oml
LOL YES YES YES THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN OMG
A secret long lost family member, is a old superhero trope.
Perfect for a parody
Didn't Drake Bell just get in trouble?
@@Tores444 I think that's the point lol
"Some of the jokes have aged really badly"
Shows a joke that is even funnier now than then 🤣🤣
What joke?
I appreciate the fact that you used “than” & “then” correctly
@@muffinsdawg I got an A in English lmao thanks
@@mediatorraptor3349 That was a crossdresser...and yeah that one hits way better now than it did back then.
Dank memes are accepted but the jokes on super hero movie isn't? How dare they. The movie itself is a whole meme of itself.
The excuses at the dinner scene was fucking hilarious
“my crack pipe broke 👀"
@@demonteprice5870 "I met a guy on Craiglist"
"I shat myself"
dude the crack pipe joke killed me
I remember when I first seen it as a kid idk what a crack pipe was lol, watching it now has a different vibe
“We have a girl who can walk through walls”
*phases* “We have a girl who THINKS she can walk through walls” *SLAMS INTO WALL*
Those two, short lines have forever burned into my head ever since I heard it. And I can never not laugh about it
This is one of top 5 jokes from that movie. Man, I HAVE to watch it again.
I always laugh when I watch that scene
And the scene where wife reveal the secret of being a superhero.
She said it in a caring motherly way only to slapped the protag head and said "Make a costume idiot, I swear, kids are getting dumber and dumber each year".
speaking of superhero parody Megamind gets overlooked for this very reason and gets called "generic" but it's a great genre parody
For sure! Like superhero movie, it is just so fun and yet could definitely be a "serious"superhero movie if you take away the "spoofy" ness and (in Megamind's case) make it live action
Maybe it was good that it got overlooked. Can you imagine if they tried to milk the movie and turn it into a franchise?
I've never seen Megamind be called generic.
@@RyoKasai25 I feel like in that case it would be like what happened with the Iron Giant, as the movie bombed, got a cult following, and now Warner Brothers won't stop showing it off.
Megamind is such an underrated movie. Should have been as popular as like shrek or something
The Dragonfly's costume is the best looking Green Lantern suit we'll ever get.
yee too bad the first one was impossible to breath or see in, it was pretty awesome
They don’t make parodies like they use to, man I wish this got a sequel 🤣
Maybe it's best not to make spoof films anymore because HISHE proves to be better.
@@BlazerK1914 hishe is shit are u mad hahahaha
Bob Gnarley
No, I’m not. HISHE’s videos made me laugh, even more enjoyably comedic than any spoof movies I ever seen.
I mean it would've been possible before... not anymore... since y'know.. the star is kinda... in trouble.
Yeah, even Scary Movie kinda fizzled out
"Make fun of the DCEU" Warner Btos seem to doing that themselves with almost every movie they make.
😭😭😭
Suicide Squad was a very long joke.
@5j5j2 freaking stupid to you to not include snyders DCEU films in the shitty DC stuff Lmao "save martha" so goddamn lame
@@zenituragaming5043 tf *"save Martha"* was the only good thing in bvs.
@@fhinpus yeah lol it was unintentionally hilarious
If set aside the spoof from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Dragonfly has an actual potential to be its own serious solo movie
I see him more like a parody of the hero genre. Like a serie of this will be cool 🤣
r/wewatchedthevideo
@@VdeBeltran It IS a parody of superhero movies and yea it would be hilarious to see a series like such.
Dragonfly would be a perfect character for The Boys
Just played by someone else.
This movie will forever have a special place in my heart because it was the movie I took my now wife on our first date...
good for you bro!
holy shit amazing
Awww~
And this is why you're married, you showed her this master piece
Wow!
This and Hellboy 1 for sure.
Hellboy and Hellboy The Golden Army are amazing and that’s due to Guillermo de Toro!
The later one wasn't amazing it was just good imo
@@blitzblazer8838 I thought it was better than the first personally
As a Hellboy comics fan I hate the Del Toro films because I think the characterization of Hellboy as a stupid sarcastic teen is awful, and the romance is so tacked on and pointless and it's about characters that are like foster brother and sister in the comics (which, gross)
Also it seems like Del Toro was trying too hard to emulate Men in Black by having the BPRD be a secret organization, while in the comics everyone knows who Hellboy is since he was found in the 40s
The best part about this is movie is that it STILL holds up today, most spoof movies just stupid stupid, but this was a little different from the usual and that’s appreciated
Plus I LOVED the Dragonfly suit, could’ve seriously been something more potentially if someone got it serious to take it on
The original suit was awesome. Too bad he can't see nor breathe in it.
I never saw this cause the other movie movies
The first scary movie was written by the wayans brothers, Shawn and Marlon, and directed by their older brother keenan. That's why its so different from the rest!
The first AND second. I hate that he missed that
The first and the second were by the wayans brothers. The 3rd and the 4th one was by david zucker. The epic movie date movie guys were aaron seltzer and jason friedberg and they were, allegedly, "2 of the 6 writers of the original scary movie"
Thank you was looking for this comment. Not removing mine tho lol
Thank you, that made me mad that he didn’t give them their credit
No fuckin way. I love this movie and would never have thought in a million years you'd cover it.
I remember watching it in theaters as a kid. This movie doesn't always work, but when it does, it really has that Raimi Charm.
"Make fun of the MCU"
Deadpool: Am I a joke to you?
This isn’t a movie, but the Harley Quinn show captures the ridiculousness of super hero stories in a very creative and enjoyable manner. It’s also fucking hilarious.
This show is what birds of prey was trying to be...

"I'd like to stay Dragonfly but I don't have the time"
The jokes are so bad they're good 😭
For the record here, while Friedberg and Seltzer did HELP write Scary Movie, Shawn and Marlon Wayans primarily wrote it and Keenan Ivory Wayans directed it. Scary Movie is leaps and bounds a better spoof movie than any of the solo Friedberg and Seltzer written/directed movies. They seemed like understudies who just didn't "get" how to make spoofs work, which is why all of their spoof movies were trash.
thank you...i wouldve been very disappointed if someone didnt acknowledge the Wayans brothers. Scary movie 1 & 2 are genuinely funny to this very day.
Marlon Wayans did a great comedy special not long ago, he really matured
I came for this response
This needs to be higher. Not only were Scary Movie 1&2 on a different level than the other spoof movies, but after 2 The Weinsteins stole the series from the Wayans brothers, and the movies went really downhill after
Yeah I really don't understand the premise of this video. Fried egg and seltzer movies are so unwatchable when compared to Wayans spoof movies. I can't help but question the intelligence or maturity level of people who endorse this garbage. And I will question it further if you put fried egg and seltzer on a pedestal like in this video
The Wayans brothers wrote “Scary Movie”. The only reason Jason Friedberg has his name attached is because Dimension purchased a Scream parody treatment he was working on, just so they didn’t have any competition at the box office (none of his ideas made it to screen).
I say it before and will say it again: there needs to be a SUPERHERO REBOOT MOVIE, in wich a running joke is teasing but never delivering a Drake Bell cameo, and also halfway throught the movie they stop to announce to the character that Disney just bought it, you see the film crew being replaced for another one and a bunch of random characters from other franchises (Star Wars, the Muppets, Jack Sparrow, whatever) arrive meanwhile the Dragonfly is confused and tries to convince executives to let him at least finnish the movie before integrate it to a Cinematic Universe.
I also had a joke about The Boys but its commentary was more on the comicbook that on the tv show so it may not work
unless they make fun about twitter, feminism and lgbt the movie would be shit
@@inigo-montoya maybe they can. The good thing about pitching ideas is that other people can do the hard work of actually writing the script
@@Mario_Angel_Medina nah, a super hero movie 2 in 2021 is literally impossible

Man there ain’t no out of date jokes man, it just adds nostalgia to the period this movie was in
"The victim, Lucille, was badly injured"
"How was she injured?"
"Badly"
"How come we have a million dollars, while they have nothing?"
"Well son, it's because I inherited a billion dollars and made some bad business decisions."
They should've made a serious version of Dragonfly too. The idea of a dragonfly themed hero is cool.
That interview with Craig and what he said about comedy writers being able to pull off the shift to drama is surprisingly spot on, I could NOT believe that Todd Phillips was a writer and director for Joker with such a singular vision, the man that made The Hangover trilogy and yet pulled it off so well (in my opinion, I know the movie becomes more divisive with time)
It's even funnier when you realize the same guy who plays the dragonfly would later go on to voice Spider-Man in the ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.
"Titanium blades! These can cut through diamonds"
"jokes on you, I'm not wearing any diamonds"
Best part of the whole movie.
I’m so glad that this movie is getting the recognition it deserves and the fact that it’s by one of my favorite UA-camrs makes it even better. My friend and I discovered this movie back in 2018 and I’ve watched it at least 20+ times since then. It’s absolutely hilarious and it never gets old and I’ll never be bored watching it. Also this is random but my dogs name is Otis lmfao.
I knew the movie was good when it first came out. When it first came out it got a lot of unnecessary hate only because it was released after a bunch of bad spoof movies so people would try to group them all together. The bandwagon hate against Superhero Movie back in 2008 was I believe half of them didn't even see the movie and the other half did see it but want to say it's bad just to fit in. When the movie first came out I chose not to follow the crowd and have my own opinion. I had a feeling the hate against it is bogus since it doesn't involve those 2 horrible writers and directors, and when i saw it in a theater I realized I was right and the movie was actually good.

“Titanium blades, they can cut through diamonds.”
“I’m not wearing any diamonds.”
I think about this scene often.
monkey scene is also funny
It was a disservice to call it ",,,, Movie" at the time when the cookie cutter (bad) "spoofs" at the time were all doing that.
It is important to note that David Zucker, one of the people responsible for Airplane!, Top Secret, Hot Shots, and The Naked Gun, was a producer on this movie and you see the difference in how it works compared to the other spoofs of the time. One peculiarity of the Zucker/ Abrahams movies, that they admittedly learned with Top Secret! back in the early 80's, is that a good spoof needs to be about something- have a story. Almost all the spoof movies of the 2000's were just a collection of vignettes and 'jokes' they wanted to hit, with some excuse for a plot to merely connect one scene with the next so they could move on to the next pop culture reference. The Zucker bros. built their jokes on top of a plot that could work on its own.
Airplane! was a literal remake of Zero Hour but it is a perfect example of this technique: they took a movie that wasn't a comedy, kept the structure and bits, and built the humor on top having the actors play it straight as if they were doing the serious version of the movie. They did the same with Hot Shots, Naked Gun, etc: they may have had some clearly comedic/exaggerated moments but take the spoof out and you end up with movies that, while not grown breaking, work perfectly fine in their intended genre.
Superhero Movie works the same way: take the spoof comedy elements out and there is a serviceable superhero film not unlike the Spiderman (which is the basis for the film, of course). Actors are playing like this is the character's reality unlike the other spoofs at the time where everyone was winking at the camera to see if the audience got the joke or pop culture reference.
It is not the best spoof but it is much better than it gets credit for, and certainly miles above the "Epic/Disaster/etc Movie" at the time.
Zucker also directed Scary Movie 3 and 4 and weren't written by either seltzer or friedberg. And the first two scary movies were done by the wayans. None of these movies deserve to be lumped in with the rest of the "movie" movies.
This film has genuine funny moments. I vividly remember the scene, where the dragonfly tires to make a costume. When he finally settle on his green design and puts it on, he realizes that he can’t breathe in it and can’t see, almost suffocating in the process.
This could have just been a funny gag, but in the rest of the movie, he does run around in that costume, just with some hastily cut holes in it. In a way, this scene does have a good narrative line and it works.
*Hourglass makes a time pun*
Browntable: "Superhero Movie was ahead of it's time"
Was... was that on purpose?
Who knows?
I remember the first time I saw this movie. I was a kid and I was absolutely cackling during the batman origin story spoof. I regularly quote "I'm not WEARING any diamonds". This was so fun
Some Brazilian dudes actually inserted the dub of this movie into the dinner scene of Spider-Man 1. Seeing Willem Dafoe saying "Excuse me, I've shit myself" is the best thing ever.
Calling Drake Bell garbage hasn’t aged well now that we understand MUCH more about him
I actually have a soft spot for this movie. Its much better than the Friedberg/Seltzer stuff.
In Brazil this movie is such a big part of our meme culture.
I love it, and I think not a lot of people talk about this masterpiece enough.
Yeah when I noticed that the writer and director of Superheroe Movie was the guy that made Chernobyl (the show) posible I jumped as crazy. Anyway what a hilairous film, one of my guilty pleasures and favorite spoof film.
So sad that other spoof films from 2000 and 2010s are so but really BAD.
dude, I had this exact conversation with a friend last year, we were talking about how super hero movies changed and how it's the perfect time for a sequel, of course Drake Bell hadn't yet been revealed to be an asshole so our biggest concern was Leslie Nielsen's absence in the movie :/
so yeah, I think a reboot with a new cast might work great, explore other talents, I personally think Bill Hader would work great with the style of comedy this movie had, and now that people are suddenly realizing he's a good actor maybe people would pay more attention to the "heart" of the movie, idk
I remember thinking that, at its heart, it still had a good 'moral' more or less: The main character couldn't gain his last power, flight, until he also gained confidence in himself, something he was lacking in his 'civillian' identity.
I just watched this movie last night. The timing is incredible!!!
YES! This movie is a comedy masterpiece, I remember people hating it at the time but I still love It to this day. Never expected you would cover it tbh.
You make a really good argument but the fact that they gave it the "Scary Movie" poster style hurt its chances at being somewhat marketable as at that point everyone had given up on that franchise and even the spoof movie genre.
this movie is so underrated as one of the mid 2000's parody movies, i know they were all mostly disaster movie, date movie, and epic movie, but this one is still funny to me, esspecially the dinner and kitchen scenes
4:49 Years later and this live painting gag still cracks me up to this very day XD
I’m so glad this movie’s getting the recognition it deserves, I always maintained that Superhero Movie was way better than the other ‘Movie’ movies (other than Scary Movie 3 which is a stone cold classic).
Dudeee this was one of my favourite movies when it came out. I rewatched it at the start of quaruntine and I’m surprised at how well it held up (for a parody movie at least). It’s so great! This movie had to walk so Deadpool could run!
I showed my dad some of the scenes from this movie, and he cried laughing. This movie will never get old.
I love this movie and the theme song! Such a shame what Drake Bell did.
Will be referring to him rightfully as Jared from now on
What did he do ?
@@geekyvors2837 Pled guilty for child endangerment over something that happened in 2017.
@@geekyvors2837 He sent nasty texts to a 15 year old girl when he was 32. Nothing really serious happened, so he got a year in jail, but still disgusting.

Finally a review that doesn't just talk shit about the movie!
Lol, I was just fvcking yesterday watching a recopilation of funniest scenes of this movie. What a coincidence!
I’ve been getting Superhero movie clips blasted in my recommended and I’m not complaining
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if Drake Bell reprises his role as Dragon Fly in Spider-Man No Way Home. 🕷
I don't think his career is going anywhere since he pled guilty for spreading information endangering and disseminating kids.
Least we still have Josh Peck!
I still find it funny Drake later voiced Peter Parker in one of the Spider-Man cartoon in later years.
I feel so happy when Browntable makes a banger video that gets recognition by the algorithm.
Me too 🥺

*Reads title*
Me: “I thought I was the only one!?”
Personally, I consider that The Boys' got a series at all, because let's face it the comic fucking sucks compared to almost anything DC or Marvel, is because the producers knew we needed a spoof on the Superhero movie craze, but they also knew that we appreciate extreme gore and cool effects more than slapstick humor and poorly made puppets and CGI.
It is working great because it is telling a better story of heroes than marvel or dc. The characters from The Boys feel really human and their actions don't feel weirdly built up like the girls get it done scene which was significantly better than the Marvel super girls scene. In short The Boys isn't just a spoof on the craze it's a better story over all and fixes a lot of the problems that blockbuster superhero flicks make
@@VibhavSaraf Personally I felt that season 2 was a huge disappointment cause it felt as generic as your typical superhero movie with the main characters turning into "good guys"
Speak for yourself, i'd much rather have slapstick and puppets than extreme gore.
The boys comic is just disgusting
ANOTHER BROWNTABLE BANGER??! ALREADY???
I remember watching this movie years ago and really liking it and now this movie keeps getting recommended to me on UA-cam for free with ads and now a video essay about this movie I think this is a sign that I need to watch this movie again.
You just gave me inspiration to write a modern day spoof superhero film! 😅 Awesome video though Browntable, this movie was definitely ahead of its time.
My idea is that we call the new movie "Superhero Movie Sequel" and have it be a parody of Spider-man: Homecoming. Except Iron Man is replaced with the original Dragonfly and Peter Parker is replaced with the new Dragonfly or a hero who's based on someone else.
Kinda hard now with what drake did
@@guadalupegabriel8781 Honesty we just need to get a new actor and then either play the new casting off as a joke or not acknowledge like they did in Iron Man 2.
@@TeralyzedKahen well that is true they could ignore it and it could just be that he got older and know looks different or afted the end of the movie we see him get hit by a helicopter so they could say thats why he looks different or just say straight up like you know why im not the same
@@TeralyzedKahen they should get a new actor but play it off as normal but only the protagonist notices
@@peenoice5176 That would be a great opportunity to also poke at the fact dragon fly & the aunt & uncle are very young than their original counterparts, like spider mans incarnation.
This is going to be interesting!
The fact that drake bell used to be the voice actor of the guy he’s parodying is super meta
i’m so happy somebody else saw this movie growing up
They should make a reboot movie called the amazing Dragonfly with Josh peck as the star.
If only this movie was animated, animation can do more than live action., the movie is funny but imagine if it was animated.
Honestly, the video was great. As soon as it was over, I was like “Why is it so short.” I’m subbed to so many people that it doesn’t matter. But you earned my sub and I’ll definitely check out some more of your vids. This was fantastic.
The line We have kids who can walk through walls and kids who think they can walk through walls always gets me
Absolutely loved this video! It’s one of my all time favourite spoof films… but my favourite is *”Not Another Teen Movie”* which you totally should make a video on. It’s not just good spoof film but a genuinely good film too… ☺️
I only know that movie because Marilyn Manson did a cover of tainted love for it
I honestly thought this movie was just a fever dream that I had
Never thought I'd be watching an analysis on the superhero movie. Thank you
i feel like im about to see a bunch of meme templates from this movie from now on
The only recent parody movie I could actually tolerate.
Finally, somebody who sees what an underrated gem this movie
Something that i love about superhero movie. Is that instead of the rest of the spoof movids who are just compilation or parodies abd jokes. Here we have an actual story with Jokes.
All good points. What also makes it great is the fact that it followed the Naked Gun and Airplane formula of spoof movies: always do the funny bits as serious as possible
I LOVED THIS MOVIE so much as a kid HAHA
Ayy ghost watchu doin here?
stephen hawking was so funny in this movie and the outro of this video LOOL
Bro, I actually love you for doing this. Me and a close friend of mine always talk about this film and how underrated it is along with how no one talks about it. Well now thankfully, someone is!! Not at the best time though 😂😂😂
I'm so glad there's finally a video on this movie
Super Hero Movie is the only one of the "Movie" -movies I unironically love. Sure, it's full of bad jokes but it's still the only one that actually feels like a real movie instead of a glorified clip show
Too bad Drake Bell couldn't date someone ahead of his time 😞
I remember watching this on DVD with my dad and sister who just happened to pop it. Fun times
Thank you so much for giving this underrated film some appreciation
Friedberg and Seltzer actually had almost nothing to do with the first 4 Scary Movie films. Their name only appears as screenwriters on the first film due to some bullshit studio legal reason. It’s obvious as well as the first 4 Scary Movie films and Superhero Movie had actual jokes that landed whereas the Friedberg/Seltzer films were just references. You could probably argue that those two hacks are who killed the parody genre
Fun fact: as of the time of this comment, you can literally watch the entirety of Superhero Movie on UA-cam for free
nice pfp
@@bunnymannotbatman1581 thanks my mom made it for me
Ive never watched a movie review that made me want to actually watch the movie more than this one.
Theres nothing more i love than passion and appreciation for things. And as a superhero fan myself, im surprised i never seen this!
Great video!
You're right about the thing that makes this movie great is that even though it's hit or miss with the jokes when it hits the jokes are genuinely funny.
This one, Meet the Spartans, and Zohan fucked up my comedic humour as I grow up
Zohan is my guilty pleasure movie
Better than Love and Thunder...
This is hands down the best of Spoof Movie genre of 2000's. Those that doesn't use "Movie" on it's title usually trash. Stuff that other than "Scary Movie" franchise were also quite bad. Then come Superhero Movie. And holy damn I never expected to find a video talking about it on 2021. This is amazing! The jokes are really fun and in a way relevant to the story, unlike many jokes from other spoof movie at the time.
I'm really glad the video included my favorite joke of the movie: When the uncle shoot a nail gun to the friend's hand. I still laughed when I see that scene again. Leslie Nielsen was a treasure.
Thank you for making me less guilty for watching this on repeat when I was a teenager
