I don't care anymore. They can spoof whatever they want, they won't stop if they get money off of it.

They just don't know what makes a movie funny.

These guys were responsible for one...count it, one, film I enjoyed: Spy Hard, starring Leslie Nielsen.

They wrote some stuff in the first Scary Movie, but I'm more apt to believe that was successful due to the work of The Wayans Family.

Spy Hard involved both Leslie Nielson and Weird Al Yankovic.  Those two could be asleep on the couch and it would somehow still be hilarious.

"Back".  They're "back".  I didn't realize how good things had been until mere moments ago.

W.A. Yankovic involved? Wasn't he just in the opening theme and one shoot coming out of the plane.
I think Leslie was hilarious, along with the others.
Not important. Still a great movie though.

That's involvement.

Not to nitpick, but wasn't Weird Al coming off the plane in The Naked Gun 2 1/2?

You're right. Hw did I mix that up. Yankovic was in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad after the first scene where Nordberg gets shoot.

It was fairly hilarious, considering the writing team.  I don't know what happened to them.  They did great with Spy Hard.

Al was in all three Naked Gun films.
Cameo as himself in the first.
I believe he played a burglar in part 2, and he shows up at the awards in the third.

They did "Spy Hard."

Okay. That is one film of theirs I can watch.

They also did Epic Movie (2007) which had some potentially good casting but it also had a very terrible script and is definitely the worst spoof I've watched so far.
