Why cant parodies be done like this now? So many gags, the choice of actors is fantastic, its hard to believe now that this was Leslie Neilson's first ever comic role, but all the actors here were chosen because they always played it straight and that just adds to the comedy. Simply one of the best comedies of all time.

Completely over the top comedy, but if you're in the right mood you'll be laughing all the time. Lots of bizarre situations, funny quotes and memorable characters. One of the best parodies I've ever seen!

I re-watched this recently for the first time in many decades. I had told my kids that it was the funniest movie ever made, so the bar was high. All these years later, it still mostly hangs up. The movie was so original that it isn't surprising that other movies may have eventually done it better. I still have more quotes from this movie than any other. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

The Zucker brothers along with Jim Abrahams created this fantastic and iconic comedy that is a must watch. From the slapstick to the one-liners that stick with you and are so usable in everyday life, it makes for a great viewing and you take it with you for a long time.

With this being Abraham&# More

_"I'm doing everything I can, and stop calling me Shirley."_

Oh, boy. I know this is going to be a _very_ unpopular opinion from the looks of it; here goes, I didn't think this film was that funny. The majority of people seem to think so without a doubt and that it's 'good.' But I disagree. I pro More

Right from the "Jaws" (1975) inspired opening titles, this is a treat of comedy that sends up just about every genre of cinema as poor old "Ted" (Robert Hays) has to stave off an airborne disaster aboard his aircraft. Half the folks travelling have been stricken with food poisoning and when the cock More

An American Comedy _**Classic**_ - Everything about this film screams 'American Cinema Comedy'. A lot of the humor is a precursor to modern american humor, including the terribly cheesy pulp humor. This film is an homage to the comedies that came before it, but is innovative in its combination of wo More
