All this arguing over what the worst Mel Brooks movie ever made was… and no one mentions **Life Stinks**? This thing open and CLOSED at theaters in LESS THAN ONE WEEK. IMDb lists SNL spin off movies as: > [@](#): > > ``` > Blues Brothers, The (1980) > Mr. Bill's Real Life Adventures (1986) > Wayne's World (1992) > Coneheads (1993) > Wayne's World 2 (1993) > It's Pat (1994) > Stuart Saves His Family (1995) > Night at the Roxbury, A (1998) > Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) > Office Space (1999) > Superstar (1999) > Ladies Man, The (2000) > Joe Dirt (2001) > > ``` I’d argue **Joe Dirt** , but only because I really don’t remember that character. I could be wrong, though. And they don’t mention **Mo’ Money** (was that **SNL** or **In Living Color**? Doesn’t really matter, as they were all crap, except **The Blues Brothers** and **Wayne’s World** ---

What about “Clifford” with Martin Short as a child and Charles Grodin as his prospective dad? A horrible, horrible movie that ranks up with Plan 9 for the so bad, it’s good category. ---

However this film doesn’t really expand on any character created for either TV show, so it should count. I’d argue the same for Joe Dirt. And Office Sapce? What does that have to do with SNL? ---

What does that have to do with SNL? \*\* Office Space was short cartoon by Mike Judge that appeared on SNL. It was manly the Milton character. ---

“Freddy Got Fingered” narrowly beats out “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” as worst comedy ever in one week of voting. Fittingly, no one earns a lifetime achievement in this category. The judge’s decision is final. results posted on request. ---
