Five Hilarious Parody Movies You Should Watch For The Love of Comedy

Parody films are often created to mock their original counterparts and to induce rib-tickling laughter.

There is this phrase that suggests “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” but it may not always be true, and it particularly does not apply to Hollywood. With over dozens of brilliant movies copied and ridiculed, there are some hilarious parody movies that gained more popularity than the original film. If you want to laugh your head off, consider giving these hilarious parody films a try.

Scary Movie (2000)

Scary Movie dares to take a brave stance to mock Scream—a movie that follows a morbid authenticity of a mania gone extreme and will compel you to think twice before answering the phone. But Scary Movie is a slasher-comedy, and it does not depict the same qualms – in contrast, it will encourage you to communicate with the unknown sinister caller. The film wipes off all the fear factors, and its crude humor is hilarious.

Superhero Movie (2008)

You would not want to miss this film if you are fond of superhero films. The Superhero Movie starring Kevin Hart and Drake Bell mainly mocks Spiderman, but it also takes a hilarious shot at various other superhero films like Batman Begins, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Superman. The film follows Rick Riker, who after getting stung by a radioactive dragonfly, gets endowed with the powers of a dragonfly.

Johnny English (2003)

Rowan Atkinson stars in this film as Johnny English—a goofy spy, mocking James Bond, the brilliant secret agent. You will be amazed to see how Atkinson can make his audience laugh regardless of what character he plays. The movie has a sequel, Johnny English Reborn, that was released after eight years.

Superfast! (2015)

If you cannot get over the applauded The Fast and the Furious movies, you must give Superfast a try. This satirical comedy film is hilarious, and it parodied various characters and storylines of the popular franchise and the con-tricks of Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner add to the embellishment.

Epic Movie (2007)

Epic Movie is replete with countless hilarious scenes and is undeniably one of the finest works of the beloved comedy duo Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg. The film follows the fantasy tale of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and it also ferociously references X-Men, Charlie, and the Chocolate Factory, The Da Vinci Code, Pirates of the Caribbean, Snakes on a Plane, and Harry Potter.

These hysterical parody films will crack you up with laughter and their comical innuendos.
