15. Full raskolbas (2016)
The most obscene food movie this side of it is, for starters, a niche genre. BetweenDeadpool andJoker once again cementing the R-rated film as a box office force, this surprisingly clever Capital R game used what we'd expect from CGI animated films to parody them.
Elements of the Toy Story series are everywhere, except when this series appeals to our childhood ideals, and this one to our youthful aspirations. Drugs, sex, and a surprising amount of food dismemberment graphics are at the heart of this tasty animation. You haven't seen anything if you haven't seen the end of this culinary four-letter feast.
14. Killer Vacation (2011)
"Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" is a hilarious and relatively unknown comedy horror parody film that anyone who loves the horror comedy genre should watch.

13. Deadpool (2016) / Deadpool 2 (2018)
Ryan Reynolds' career has been frustrating for a while, knowing how funny he can be and being held back. This film finally married the actor to the right role, and Reynolds executed the minder mercenary to everyone's satisfaction.
Along with this, he has corrupted the current superhero film series by remaining a part of it. The rope game paid off and the sequel was on par with the laughs and references.
12. Naked Gun (1988)
Not the last appearance of Leslie Nielsen on this list because he is one of the masters of this genre. One of the most quoted comedies of all time and everyone plays it straight as an arrow for maximum laughs. An incompetent cop lumbering through a life-or-death investigation offers constant opportunities to poke fun at other cop movies beyond repair.
The absurdity they manage to fit into the plot to kill the Queen deserves all the laughs it deserves. Try to watch the girl go up the stairs instead of quoting from this movie. Lines like “We should have come earlier, but then your husband didn’t die” are so stupid and smart that you will probably miss the next three jokes because you laugh at the first one.
11. Galaxy Quest (1999)
I swear by Grabthar's Hammer.... what movie! A Star Trek parody so loved that many consider it canon. A ridiculously talented cast has come together for this exploration of faded fame, nostalgia, space adventure, scam - all wrapped up in classic imagery."Star Trek". Tim Allen's best twist when he's not voicing Buzz Lightyear.
Sigourney Weaver, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub, Justin Long, Rainn Wilson are among the recognizable names and faces, and they all laugh. However, the inimitable Alan Rickman in the role of Shakespeare's misanthrope Alexander Dane deserves all the praise. Never give up! Never give up!
10. Borat (2006) / Borat 2 (2020)
«Borate" Sacha Baron Cohen has been a staple of popular culture since its release in 2006, and most people have the impression of his character whether they've watched the movie or not. The first movie is getting great reviews, and the second, released as recently as 2020, is not far behind.
Cohen portrays Kazakh reporter Borat in mockumentary and gets into crazy situations when he interviews people and purposefully tries to cause havoc and shock people in the films.
9 Shining Saddles (1974)
"Glittering Saddles" constantly complaining that "it can't be done today", despite the fact that they are preserved in the National Film Registry. Past the language currently failing the test, the human cartoon that is Sheriff Bart, played by Cleavon Little, is as close to Bugs Bunny as an actor can be. Every aspect of old western cinema is ridiculed with all its might.
All archetypes are present, from the evil tycoon to the famous alcoholic gunslinger, the brutal enforcer, and the seductive honey pot. Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn help ensure the comedy is delightful as well as buzzing throughout, and as director Mel Brooks' frequent collaborators, they won't be their last appearance on this list.
8. Shaun the Zombies (2004) / Hardcore Hoos (2007)
Put Edgar Wright with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and you have every chance of success. Edgar Wright entered the zombie and romantic comedy genres withShaun Of The Dead. In the first half of the movie, they played with all the romantic comedies with hilarious results, and then as you dive into their mixed lives, the zombie apocalypse breaks out and they play with it all too. The forgetful one-shot is one of the best moments in cinema, and one of many in this film that can be re-watched endlessly.hot fuzz brings Wright's art to perfection, perhaps even more so.
Use the Michael Bay approachBad guysto a small English village is a real genius. Hot Fuzz has a lot of layers to enjoy, ranging from paperwork-themed montages to intricate real-estate red herrings that are petty vanity. Blockbuster action movies can learn complex scripting, great use of omens, and satisfying results. The fact that it's all this and fun from bell to bell is amazing. A couple of miracles.
7 Cabin In The Woods (2012)
Shed in a woodsis another horror parody, and while not as comedic as the others on this list, it's still successful and smart and deserves a place on this list of the best parody movies.
The film starts out as a typical horror movie, using stereotypical character archetypes from the jock to the ultimate girl, but it becomes a meta movie once the plot behind the stereotypical characters is revealed. This is a fun and creative movie that any horror fan and parody movie fan will love.
6. Enchanted (2007)
Charmed is a different type of parody movie that pays homage to but also makes fun of the Disney princess movie genre. Giselle (Amy Adams) starts the film as an animated princess who wants something more, and she gets her wish when she is sent to the real world outside of her fairy tale.
The film jokes about the naïve nature of the animated fairy tale world and how they face the harsh realities of the real world without anyone rushing to song and dance.
5 Young Frankenstein (1974)
When it comes to pure laughter, Mel Brooks is most praised for comedy. Gene Wilder once again plays a major role and Madeline Kahn is an eminently funny foil, but they are not alone. Marty Feldman's Igor is amazingly funny. Cloris Leachman, Peter Boyle, Teri Garr, Kenneth Mars, Gene Hackman!
Each of them gets not only laughter, but also funny scenes that are much funnier than you can muster in all comedies. The gags range from the most silly to the deeply sophisticated, and you'll definitely catch even more the second and third time you rewatch it, because you will. An ageless classic from an eternal fairy tale.
4. This is Spinal Tap! (1984)
The pseudo-documentation genre has several top figures filled with comedic scholars, including This Is spinal tap, who cut through the facade of the rock god, depicting a group of simplistic morons who are unaware that they have already passed their brief peak.
Spinal Tap includes a terrific cast of comedians who fill the film with so many quote lines and the best parody songs, making Rob Reiner's 1984 rock comedy film a must-see for parody fans. Just make sure you increase it to eleven.
3. Real Ghouls (2014)
A film by Jemaine Clement and Taika WaititiWhat are we doing in the shade? is another fantastic pseudo-documentary that takes insular, reclusive groups and makes it absurd as we meet a group of New Zealand vampires who struggle with modern life just like them. the rest of us, but also have blood. And werewolves. Also, the best E-Bay joke of all time.
The 2014 film was so popular with fans that it led to a hit TV adaptation on FX by Clement that followed the new trio of vampires in Staten Island, as well as a spin-off titled Wellington Paranormal, who followed the officers from the film as they met further. supernatural phenomena with their special grace and selfless police work.
2 Holy Grail (1975) / Life of Brian (1979)
This couple fromMonty Python so funny that in all the years there has not been a funnier film either on the topic or on the setting. If you want medieval nonsense, "holy grail” is Hol ... a very good option. If you want Biblical times to be the setting and bigoted regimes and their henchmen to be the running joke, then this is "Brian's life».
VMontyPython The guys remain masters doing self-employed serious in farce and forty plus years later these two remain untouchable works of silly genius. Like Black Night, Monty Python is undefeated, and so far "no one has surpassed". Regularly change the top spots on your "greatest comedies of all time" lists.
1. Airplane! (1980)
The original big "parody" that literally took most of its script from an existing movie ("Zero Hour!") and turned everything on its head. The previous decade's obsession with disaster films was lovingly parodied like never before, including the revitalization of the career of serious actor Leslie Nielsen.
