Other movies that revel in their own ridiculousness?


There aren't that many movies that just totally openly mock themselves this much. Can anyone think of any good examples?

Top Secret is one... they have a moment where they say "It all seems like some terrible B movie," then they stop and look anxiously at the camera.

In Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, there is the scene during the Boer War where they suspect that a tiger has attacked the British officer, and some characters start saying "a tiger in Africa?!? That doesn't sound very likely to me. Tigers are from Asia!" and they all start clearing their throats and trying to move the conversation along in hope that the audience won't notice the gaffe.

In Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey... jeez that whole entire movie is like that.

Any more examples?


You are toast, my toasty friend.

Airplane II: The Sequel (1982) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083530/

...which would be Zucker brothers films, as I just realised.

Double down on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
