Dumb spoofs
With the release of "Scary Movie" in 2000, a new generation of spoof movies was born, spewing out badly written and miserably performed spoofs, totally devoid of the charm, finesse and humor that otherwise characterized the spoof genre.
Here is a list of spoof movies, post- and pre-2000, that should never have been made.

- DirectorKeenen Ivory WayansStarsAnna FarisJon AbrahamsMarlon WayansA year after disposing of the body of a man they accidentally killed, a group of dumb teenagers are stalked by a bumbling serial killer.The one that started the new wave of spoof flicks, "Scary Movie" is full of obscenities, but totally lacks humor. I guess that's what you get for spoofing a spoof. Pathetic!
- DirectorAdam Jay EpsteinAndrew JacobsonStarsFrankie MunizMichael CeraAshley SchneiderA sketch-comedy movie about the joys and embarrassments of teen sex. But mostly the embarrassments.Even worse than the teen comedies, it spoofs, this one is not even worth watching.
- DirectorAaron SeltzerJason FriedbergStarsAlyson HanniganAdam CampbellFred WillardSpoof of romantic comedies which focuses on a man, his crush, his parents, and her father.As if date movies didn't suck bad enough already, this spoof is horribly immature and a disgrace to the spoof genre.
- DirectorJason FriedbergAaron SeltzerStarsSean MaguireKevin SorboCarmen ElectraA spoof of 300 (2006) and many other movies, TV series/shows/commercials, video games and celebrities. King Leonidas of Sparta and his army of 12 go to war against Xerxes of Persia to fight to the death for Sparta's freedom.Although it has some redeeming features, "Meet the Spartans" is so mind-numbingly dumb, and not even its absurd anachronisms are funny.
- DirectorJason FriedbergAaron SeltzerStarsKal PennJennifer CoolidgeFred WillardA spoof on previous years' epic movies (The Da Vinci Code (2006), The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) + 20 more), TV series, music videos and celebs. 4 orphans are on an epic adventure."Epic Failure" should have been the title of this slab of pointless dung. It is full of cheap tricks and lowest common denominator gags, and totally devoid of humor.
- DirectorEzio GreggioStarsEzio GreggioDom DeLuiseBilly ZaneThe federal agent Jo Dee Fostar is currently investigating a serial killer, helped by doctor Animal who is isolated in a maximum security jail.The proof that pre-2000 spoofs could suck, too, "The Silence of the Hams" is more likely to evoke yawns than laughs. Even Dom De Luise couldn't save this one.
- DirectorJason FriedbergAaron SeltzerStarsCarmen ElectraVanessa LacheyNicole ParkerOver the course of one evening, an unsuspecting group of twenty-somethings find themselves bombarded by a series of natural disasters and catastrophic events.Mostly a typical post-2000 pointless and stupid spoof flick, at least this one has a couple of quite funny elements, such as the references to "Sex and the City" and "Enchanted" as well as the outro song and a monstrous rendering of Amy Winehouse. Other than those, most of the gags in this spoof fall flat.
- DirectorHoward R. CohenStarsRichard BenjaminPaula PrentissJeffrey TamborA family inherits an old mansion which houses the dangerous 'Book of Evil' that has all the monsters of the world trapped inside it.Fails at being a spoof, because it isn't a spoof. The title leads one into thinking that it is a spoof of "Friday the 13th", but in reality it's just a sub par horror comedy.
- DirectorBob LoganStarsLeslie NielsenLinda BlairNed BeattyParody of The Exorcist (1973), with Linda Blair once again possessed by Satan, and Leslie Nielsen as the exorcist.Although it stars Leslie Nielsen - who does a good job of it - this spoof on "The Exorcist" is too slow-paced and has too few gags in it.
- DirectorRick FriedbergStarsLeslie NielsenNicollette SheridanCharles DurningDick Steele, Agent WD-40 is assigned by his Director, to stop the evil General Rancor from destroying the world. WD-40 believed Rancor was dead and he teams up with the hot KGB Agent Veronique Ukrinsky to find Rancor and save the world."Spy Hard" actually isn't that bad. It has a lot of laughs in it, and it features Leslie Nielsen, Weird Al Yankowich, and a host of prolific guest stars. Still, it is not quite as entertaining as the classics.
- DirectorAllan A. GoldsteinStarsLeslie NielsenOphélie WinterEzio GreggioMarshal Dix is to free US president from aliens on the int'l lunar base. A clone has replaced him in The White House. Can Dix prevent an alien invasion?Another sub-par spoof, this one is not bad, but it really lacks pace, and the gags lack punch.
- DirectorTimo VuorensolaStarsAntti SatamaTiina RoutamaaSamuli TorssonenThe future looks bleak for Captain Pirk. Originally from the far future, he traveled back to save the world, but was shipwrecked on the 21st century. The world of the past is a dangerous place and he is finding it difficult to convince the ladies he is, in fact, an intergalactic space hero from the future. To make things right Pirk comes up with a questionable plan to save mankind's future...An installment in a quite popular Finnish Star Trek spoof series, I have tried to watch this one several times, but I still end up finding it a bit boring.
