[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts] I really love those “Movie” movies… You know the ones. **Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Not Another Teen Movie**. I heard so many bad things about **Epic Movie** (and **Meet the Spartans** ) and how incredibly dumb and stupid it was, but I couldn’t help but laugh myself silly at many parts in it. [/QUOTE] Me too, I love spoof films with a passion. The “movie” genre seems to be getting a bit stale now though, the Airplane and Naked Gun films were much better. (Just thinking about the bit in Naked Gun 1 where Prisilla Presley is being held at gun point by the villain so Nielson pulls some random woman out of the crowd and puts a gun to her head saying “Two can play at that game” is making me laugh myself silly in the office.) ---

[QUOTE=Alice The Goon] I will pick **Cable Guy** - I know a lot of people who think it’s too stupid, but I watch it every chance I get. Also **Reno 911!: Miami** - had me _rolling_, I tell you. I don’t know if it’s considered stupid, but I would imagine that you’d think so, if you hadn’t seen it/don’t share my sense of humor, which is that of a 14-year-old boy. [/QUOTE] I watched **Reno 911** again yesterday, and I will watch it every time it rolls around while on cable. I’m packing for a move ☹ , and it’s the perfect background noise. Caught **There’s something About Mary** yesterday, too. Boy, was I glad I was packing up the room with the TV!🆒 ---

_ **Lake Placid.** _ Who else but Betty White could feed her husband to the local alligator and be happy about it. ---

Two of mine have already been taken – _Zoolander_ and _Happy Gilmore_ just crack me up way more than they should. I’m not sure this one is extremely stupid, but when I saw _Beavis and Butthead Do America_, I left the theatre in pain from laughing. I remember telling my brothers, “I’m ashamed by how much I liked that movie.” “Don’t stop till you feel the backs of their teeth!” ---

Super Troopers, definitely. It’s completely stupid and yet, I laugh every time. Also I must second Zoolander. That never gets old. Strange Brew is in a class of its own though. I can’t believe I didn’t see it until I was 20. ---

Snakes on a Plane takes the cake for me. It’s the only movie that’s deliberately stupid and still wildly entertaining to me. ---

**Grandma’s Boy**. I had to watch it three times before I heard all the dialogue because I was laughing so hard. ---

**Ace Ventura Pet Detective \*\* still cracks me up. Of course there are the Will Farrell classics: \*\* Anchorman Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby Blades of Glory** not to mention **Old School** and **Weding Crashers** The Apatow movies (I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trailer for one of his movies and didn’t say “that looks fucking stupid”): **40 Year Old Virgin Knocked Up Superbad** **Zoolander** and finally the Broken Lizard classics: **Super Troopers Beerfest** (unfortunately I saw \*\*Club Dread \*\* first and it took me over five years to see another BL movie) ---

[QUOTE=squeekster] What are some of the movies that you thought were so stupid that they should never have been made, yet were absolutely hilarious? [/QUOTE] Well, stupidity in a comedy isn’t really a problem for me at all; indeed, pretty much the opposite applies. Thus cautioned, you can perhaps read my list of twenty movies which never fail to bring me to the point of almost pissing my pants with sheer meat-head laughter, with a proper degree of understanding. \*Airplane! Animal House The Aristocrats Beetlejuice The Blues Brothers Borat Car Wash Caveman Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie C&C’s Nice Dreams Desperate Living Female Trouble Friday Pink Flamingos Polyester “Red” The Ritz Shakes the Clown Stir Crazy This Is Spinal Tap Up In Smoke \* Apparently, there are many people who consider those movies stupid. They are all wrong, though. _Funny_ is what those movies are. ---

_Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey_ “Stupidity upon stupidity” is how I characterized it, but it was nevertheless gut-bustingly funny. Definitely non-non-non-heinous. ---

Another vote for _Spaceballs_, and, for that matter, just about any Mel Brooks spoof movie. Nobody does stupid as well as Mel Brooks, but Mike Meyers can sometimes challenge him. ---

I heard so many bad things about **Epic Movie** (and **Meet the Spartans** ) and how incredibly dumb and stupid it was, but I couldn’t help but laugh myself silly at many parts in it. [/QUOTE] What’d you think of **Reference Movie**? I was once bet $20 that I could not sit through all of Date Movie. I lost that bet, and then gave that same bet to my brother, who ALSO lost the bet. It’s pretty much the most unbearable movie I’ve ever seen (I did eventually finish it after 2 more sessions). I vaguely remember Epic Movie…wasn’t that the one that had Borat in it who not only wasn’t funny (he just quoted the original movie word for word) but wasn’t even EPIC? As for me, another vote for **Tommy Boy**. “No, it was cordless” has gotta be my favorite stupid movie line ever. ---

I’m seeing a lot of love for Happy Gilmore, but none for my favorite Adam Sandler movie, **Little Nicky**.
