Top 10 Funniest Scenes in Parody Movies


honestly they really don’t make spoof
movies like they used to
hey guys i’m rebecca from watch mojo and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 funniest scenes from
parody movies there was a stone edge
monument on the stage that was in danger
of being crushed
since parody is such a broad term we’re
sticking with movies that directly
satirize a specific franchise or genre
from beginning to end so that means
we’re excluding movies like Monty Python
and the Holy Grail or The Naked Gun
because they are more like slapstick
comedies with parody elements no matter
how much I deeply loved them alright
let’s get to the list number 10 cruelest
Kiss Not Another Teen Movie this was one
of the last parody movies that succeeded
in tickling our funny bones perhaps
that’s because it actually stuck to
satirizing a genre as opposed to simply
referencing whatever was popular at the
time I don’t want to hear it mister you
just bought yourself another detention a
send-up of teen movies the film wouldn’t
be complete without a steamy kiss this
scene puts a spin on the same sex smooch
from cruel intentions although instead
of Sarah Michelle Gellar and selma Blair
it’s a seductive young woman and an old
lady who’s never been kissed now close
your eyes and wet your lips you feel you
embracing saliva gum and tongue the
filmmakers make the kiss look as sloppy
as possible but cut away thankfully
before Katherine can show her elderly
friend how to go down have you ever
eaten pussy before number 9 Stonehenge
This Is Spinal Tap I’m really influenced
by Mozart and barking it’s sort of
in-between though it’s really it’s like
a mark piece really so what do you call
us well this piece is called a lick my
love pump this mockumentary feels so
authentic that it nearly tricks the
audience into believing spinal tap is an
actual heavy metal band that’s so black
it’s like how much more black could this
be and the answer is none not only did
their song strike a perfect balance
between parity and legitimate rock but
the behind-the-scenes problems they
endure seems strangely real in this
absurdly believable sequence the band
decides to incorporate a Stonehenge
megalith into their
with Nigel sketching the prop on a
napkin he confuses feet four inches
however resulting in a meager megalith
that looks even smaller when stacked up
against dancing little people on a stage
it’s a scene that kicks the comedy up to
11 or perhaps in this case 18 inches
this is serious tonnage number 8 I
shagged dead people macGruber what
started as an SNL sketch parodying
MacGyver eventually evolved into a
feature film that pokes fun at the
entire action genre
well Gruber has all the criteria of an
action hero a dark past a nemesis with
an accent and a fiance who was
tragically taken away from him you
not everything speaking of which the
film also plays with the trope of
communicating with a dead loved one at
Casey’s grave but Gruber is visited by
his fiancee’s ghost who gives him
permission to move on before letting go
however macGruber takes Casey for one
last role in the graveyard whether this
is real or a deranged fantasy their
awkward sex provides the movie’s most
explosively funny moment number 7 I am
your daughter scary movie 3 after being
accused of child abuse Michael Jackson
jokes were everywhere and we mean
everywhere in the early 2000s yeah yeah
yeah yeah before the subject matter was
parodied to death though scary movie 3
delivered this memorable send up of the
controversial musician what starts as a
satire of the others takes a bizarre
turn when Charlie Sheen goes looking for
his daughter and instead uncovers
Michael Jackson where’s my daughter are
you mad I am your daughter no you’re not
yeah it’s incredibly immature but this
scene packs in several great gags from
Jackson’s dance fighting skills to his
infamous baby dangling incident to his
plastic surgery to the conspiracy that
he was an alien the fact that Edward
moss can impersonate MJ to a tee only
number six bridge fight Robin Hood men
in tights he can’t have a list like this
without director Mel Brooks and Robin
Hood men in tights is widely considered
to be his last quality spoof movie the
film is primarily a parody of Robin Hood
Prince of Thieves but also the Disney
and Errol Flynn versions this scene
reenacts Robin and Little John’s iconic
bridge fight to hysterical effect as the
two quickly realized that their sticks
aren’t as sturdy as they seem what
starts as a rousing duel deteriorates
into a couple of grown men whacking each
other with tiny pieces of wood because
if that’s not childish and silly enough
Robin ultimately pushes John into a
puddle which inexplicably almost causes
him to drown number five
kickboxing hotshot spark dip whereas the
first Hot Shots was mostly a parody of
Top Gun part deux takes on Rambo for the
sequel Charlie Sheen actually went
through weight training to better
resemble Sylvester Stallone having
someone with an action hero’s physique
performs such ridiculous stunts makes
the comedy all the more hilarious
nowhere is this more apparent than in
this scene as topper Harley enters a
kickboxing fight where anything goes
in chokku lassos and candy toppings are
all fair game as is the case with the
rest of the movie the sequence has a
joke per second from an audience member
getting casually decapitated to an
ingenious plug for Subway sandwiches to
number four Men in Tights Robin Hood Men
in Tights it wouldn’t be a Mel Brooks
movie without an uproarious musical
number and this is one of his best there
seems to be a preconceived notion that
tights are not manly but this song
argues otherwise as the merry men break
out into a merry melody singing like the
ensemble of a Broadway musical and even
doing a can-can dance the men note that
their tights might not be the most
intimidating apparel but this doesn’t
make them any less butch a vow to
protect the poor and knock out anybody
who mocks their wardrobe choices on that
note
blinkin also gets in a few good punches
as he stumbles throughout the
wonderfully choreographed number number
three
Mustafa’s death Austin Powers
international man of mystery
throughout this spy spoof the not so
subtly named dr. evil demonstrates just
how impractical James Bond villains can
be we get the warhead and we hold the
$1,000,000 for example a chair that
reclines into a pit of fire sounds like
a pretty cool way to dispose of
insubordinate minions what happens if
the victim doesn’t die instantly though
the threatening atmosphere dr. evil was
trying to create is completely derailed
as a very badly burnt Mustafa cries out
the evil mastermind tries ignoring the
police for help at first but soon gives
in and acknowledges the elephant in the
room well under the room even then it
takes multiple gunshots to silence
Mustafa for good giving new meaning to
the term beating a dead horse okay
moving on number two keep firing
Spaceballs considering that the
characters watch the film while it’s
still being made Spaceballs might be the
most meta movie of Mel Brooks career if
we had to single out one scene we would
re watch over and over again however it
would have to be this priceless moment
frustrated with one of his Spaceballs
dark helmet is taken aback to learn that
his subordinate is literally named
asshole he’s an asshole sir I know that
what’s his name that is his name sir
asshole major asshole he got the job
from his cousin who is also an asshole
it then dawns on dark helmet that almost
every crew member aboard his ship is an
asshole in every sense of the word
anybody who has to work with people they
cannot stand undoubtedly references this
scene frequently before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
I’ll go back to the passengers now some
of these are limited I need this I need
[Music]
I don’t need one heartbeat number one
bookcase Young Frankenstein seems to be
coming from behind the bookcase Young
Frankenstein set the gold standard for
modern parody movies recreating the look
and feel of the original horror classic
but then turning it into something
absolutely ludicrous a comedy especially
springs to life in this scene as the
doctor and his assistant stumble upon a
secret room behind a bookshelf the
passageway isn’t without a few kinks
though as dr. Frankenstein gets stuck
and attempts to give Inga instructions
on how to free him each attempt only
puts Frankenstein in a more
uncomfortable position
eventually sandwiching his body between
the bookcase and a hard place
Gene Wilder’s delivery is nothing short
of genius as Frankenstein tries to keep
it together well nearly losing his head
very carefully
don’t put the candle back do you agree
