9 Inevitable Movie Spoofs

Features
By Richard Rose published 15 October 2010

Genres Friedberg and Seltzer haven't 'improved' yet...

Friedberg and Seltzer Suck

Friedberg and Seltzer Suck

Vampires Suck is out this today! Woo-hoo! It's been a long, testing wait, but finally, after two long years, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are back!

Better than Laurel & Hardy, Bill Hicks and sex combined, these comedy giants have given us some of the finest gut-busters of recent years. Their ability to mine humour from already funny films and put farts where there weren't farts before, have made them a fortune and we can't wait to see what they come up with next.

But where else is there to go? They've tackled nearly every genre- scary, epic, Spartans...

What else is there for these masters of mirth to sink their teeth into? Dare to dream.

Arthouse

Arthouse

Plot: Carmen Electra stars as Pee Dolly, whose meth-cooking father (played by Fred Willard, who really should know better) is on the run as a fugitive. With the help of a pot-smoking Frank the rabbit and El Topo, who wears a bra and gets hit in the crotch a lot, Pee goes looking for him inside the head of a man who looks a bit like John Malkovich. They eventually discover him masturbating in front of the Three Colours Trilogy: Red (obviously).

Pointless cameo: About halfway through, Tony Cox shows up and crucifies a monkey. A man who could just about pass for Werner Herzog walks into shot and calls 'Cut.' Tony goes 'Aw, hell no...'

LMAOROFL scene: At one point the Malkovich lookalike says a line from Con Air. Three people in the audience smile because they got the reference.

Film Noir

Film Noir

Plot: A man who looks and sounds nothing like Humphrey Bogart, but was prepared to be vomited on by a cat, plays Dick Blaine, who goes on a quest with Harry Lemon (Ha!) and Carmen Electra, to find The Blue Brahlia. No effort is made to make this look anything like a film noir. But a cat vomits. Twice.

Pointless cameo: Leslie Nielsen plays Orson Welles as a frozen pea-guzzling glutton. Several audience members shake their head in disgust.

LMAOROFL moment: Optimus Prime gets an erection. This has nothing to do with film noir.

Woody Allen

Woody Allen

Plot: Crispin Glover plays Pretzel, a neurotic, Jewish, New York intellectual, who must go on a quest (because a quest element seems to be the only way of adding some sense of cohesion to this dross), along with Annie, a bikini-clad bimbo with a lolly in her mouth (played by Carmen Electra), and, for some reason, a number of the minions from Despicable Me, to prevent a Wagner concert from taking place in Madison Sq. Gardens. Manages to out-crap Cassandra's Dream. No, really.

Pointless cameo: That guy from youtube, you know the one... well, one of them, turns up and does the thing that got him/her noticed in the first place. And it's even funnier on the big screen, completely out of context.

LMAOROFL scene: Pretzel ends up on a small Latin American island. Annie does something lewd with a banana. See what they did there?

Silent Film

Silent Film

Plot: A man who Friedberg and Seltzer found doing a Chaplin impression outside Mann's Chinese Theatre plays Chaplin, who, along with a Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd impressionist, goes on a quest to find sound

...actually this one could be quite good.

Pointless cameo: Carmen Electra plays Maria, the robot from Metropolis. She has sex with R2-D2, who's played by Tony Cox. He says 'Aw, hell no...'

LMAOROFL moment: Nosferatu farts. But it's silent. So no one knows.

The Coen Brothers

The Coen Brothers

Plot: Essentially a spoof of The Big Lebowski, widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies of all time, this centres on The Dood, played by the cheapest man with a beard that Friedberg and Seltzer could find, who arranges to have his wife kidnapped by the Hulk. Why? We don't know.

Pointless cameo: Carmen Electra as heavily pregnant cop, Marge Bumderson. She drinks and smokes throughout the film because, in the right hands, harming an unborn child can be funny.

LMAOROFL scene: In one hysterical sequence, the Dood mistakes a semen sample for a White Russian. Oh no he di'nt!

Sci-fi

Sci-fi

Plot: An astronaut, played by an ex-soap star who's hit rock bottom (Daniella Westbrook?), lands on a planet populated by apes. That breakdance.

Pointless cameo: Carmen Electra. She's an ape. But she still has big boobs. One audience member laughs so hard he shits. His name is Jason. Jason Friedberg.

LMAOROFL scene: In a rare moment of genuine creativity, the apes from 2001: A Space Odyssey, meet the apes from PotA. Then challenge them to a breakdancing competition.

Plot: This manages the near impossible feat of being more incomprehensible than Inland Empire. A woman who looks a bit Laura Dern, turns out to actually be someone who looks a bit like Kyle MacLachlan. They go on a quest to find the highway. Because it's lost. Heh.

This one does at least have lesbians. One of whom is played by Carmen Electra. Pass.

Pointless cameo: A confused Grace Zabriskie slips in shit in a scene that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. This may not be a spoof...

LMAOROFL scene: Henry Spencer's hair is large. Like a willy. One audience member laughs, but only because he's tired of crying.

Plot: Al Bore needs Michael Bore to help him bore everyone. Because documentaries are boring. Not like boobs.

The rest of the film is boobs.

Pointless cameo: That Al Gore sure is a good sport...

LMAOROFL scene: What's Al Gore doing to Carmen Electra?

World Cinema

World Cinema

Plot: A sweet young lady called Spamelie, who's in a fat suit for no apparent reason, decides she's going to help people. In order to do so she must go on a quest (sigh) with a young Bengali, Apu Roy, who says 'Thank you, come again', about once every five minutes, and Lieutenant Werner, who, it is heavily suggested, once had sex with a submarine. What the quest is for, nobody knows, because the film was written in an afternoon and went into production the next day.

Pointless cameo: Carmen Electra plays a man who bites a dog. Boom. Satire.

LMAOROFL scene: There isn't one. Even the idiots who usually lap this shit up vow never to watch an American film again.
