Scary Movie was ground zero for some of the worst comedy of all time

Scary Movie marked the third wave of parody popularity, and the broad genre got broader with each resurgence. At first, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner told real stories, however goofily (Young Frankenstein, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid), and had real things to say (Blazing Saddles isn’t just parody but satire; it is about racism in the Western genre). The next era, kicked off by David Zucker and Airplane!, valued laughs over character or theme, and preferred a thousand little gags over a few big laughs (it had no comedic set pieces; the film was the set piece). Discipline and sophistication, whether visually or narratively, stopped being the point.
