    I just miss silly spoof movies.

    I feel like those " (genre) Movie" films were such weak throwaways and the silly parody movie quietly just died shortly after. Especially when everything wanted to be an “adult comedy” or a “dramedy” (ughh!)

    You don’t really see that fun absurdist trope-poking humor of Kung Pow!, Airplane, Monty Python, or Austin Powers, anymore. Spy movie spoofs were such a great time. :)

    A TV show called Angie Tribeca did this SO WELL. It was such a great cop show parody full of silly wordplay and puns and unbelievably ridiculous scenarios.
