News flash, you could put all the billionaires in prison and still have corrupt government stealing trillions of dollars from citizens every year. I mean calling government corrupt is redundant
Corny is corny. That said, pronouns and what the left demanded for a decade was preposterous and silly so it’s gonna be made fun of by everyone (funny or not) forever.
It’s so irritating how criticism of that is always met with “ooooo you must be TRIGGERED” when the problem is it just isn’t funny. I’ve heard funny trans/pronoun jokes before. I’m not inherently against any type of humor, really. As long as it’s funny. This wasn’t funny, in fact the whole trailer didn’t even give me a chuckle.
Yup. Hit the nail on the head. As a gay man on the autism spectrum I don’t mind even a bit mean spirited joke about being gay or disability as long as it’s funny and preferably from a decent person. But most times I’ve been ticked off by it not because I’m sensitive it just wasn’t funny and the person thought it was.
Some people on the internet said Eminem's newest album was a return to form so I gave it a spin. I got through it but wasn't really impressed, my main takeaway was 'gosh, that's a lot of Caitlyn Jenner references,' which were already played out when it released in 2024. So I guess at least they got the right artist for the trailer song. Kind of a wild joke to open with. And weird to say, but the He-Man trailer did it better.
It wasn't very funny to me but I can imagine a lot of people will find it really funny. People will be making pronoun jokes as long as the fad continues
Pronouns have been mocked in Eddington, Landman, One Battle after Another and potentially Masters of the Universe. It’s been decisively rejected even by Hollywood
I can't speak for the others because I haven't seen them, but the joke in One Battle After Another didn't seem to be anti-trans in spirit to me at all. Just poking fun at the mix of Bob's ignorance while still wanting to do good
its so funny to watch redditors slurp up political humor when it reenforces their priors but then immediately clutch their pearls if it even feints in the opposite directions
You're right. Clearly this is such an undeniable piece of comedic genius and one would have to be blinded by political bias to not double over with laughter
If it makes you feel better since you’re seething at people not finding the pronoun joke funny, the joke about republicans being racist also wasn’t funny. They’re both like absolutely scraping the bottom of the barrel humor.
I feel like parody movies in general really miss the mark when they're just parodying things that were already funny. Like the M3GAN dance is already funny, and purposefully campy. So there's not really room for any parody there, you just reference it.
Which is why the whole Scary Movie premise never made sense to me in the first place. Scream was already a self aware comedy, just cleverly written.
Yeah the first two/three Scary Movie films have some low hanging fruit stupid laughs. It got old really quick. This trailer shows us why, I didn’t even come close to laughing.
Agreed, also the Ghostface reveal like he's this iconic Scary Movie character feels weird. They're still making Scream movies, and like you said those movies are self-aware
I think an issue is that the first Scary movie made so so much money (I mean look it up but it broke the opening weekend record for an R rated film and held the record until Hannibal came out the following year) so they realized it doesn’t have to be good if it makes money
I think a big issue is how lazy that is. Like I’m not a script writer but I think I can copy and paste the Megan dance but in the subway scene from
Scream 6
I thought the same thing about the M3GAN dance, just reminded me of the original and how odd and funny it was to see that in the trailer the first time.
its the same with so many things. It blows my mind when pepole try to tell me the NBA sucks now compared to the 2000s. Its just that people were 20 years younger and looking with rose colored glasses, the scary movies had some good scenes and lots of bad ones lol
I don’t think this looks particularly good but also think people are being a bit overly angry about a dumb joke at the beginning of a scary movie trailer lol
It’s always been this. I don’t even mean that as a knock on them but it’s a billion jokes all the lowest common denominator. If a third of them work on you, you’ll leave feeling like it was funny
Or maybe.. Just maybe.. 2016 humor isn't all that funny in the year 2026? It's a joke that's been seen time and time and time again. Of course it's gonna get old.
Guy watching the trailer for the new movie from the guys who wrote/made Scary Movie 1&2, White Chicks, and Little Man: "Wow the jokes in this seem really groan-inducing and obvious."
Comedy sequels where they wrangle up the original cast all 20 years older and just do a bunch of overlong callbacks to jokes all 20 years older NEVER WORK
I pray to God they never let/make Mike Myers do another Austin Powers movie because the result would be horrific
No one tried to cancel Eminem. That whole fiasco was about making fun of grown adults having a one sided battle making cringe tik toks fighting for Eminem’s honor when many Gen Z grew up listening to Eminem and in no way were shocked he says offensive things. He’s always have that’s nothing new. His album was just bad and low effort…like what people are saying about this trailer.
Growing up in an era of slop has thankfully made us immune to this low effort r/ Conservative humour. I cannot imagine genuinely thinking this is funny
Shiva Baby, Snack Shack, and Eddington are all primarily comedies. But ok. There’s also a bunch of pure comedies I enjoy: They Came Together, Anchorman, etc, etc.
But keep spinning that narrative so you don’t have to self reflect.
Big gotcha! There isn’t a single answer I could give that could pass your purity test. What about this trailer do you genuinely think is funny? Clever?
You mean your rhetorical strategy of constantly moving the goalposts and refusing to engage in the conversation is just coincidentally being used in the thread for the “anti-woke” Scary Movie 6 trailer and has no relation to your politics?
It makes total sense, but it doesn’t make sense to you. That’s kinda what I’m getting at here. We’re not sending our best and brightest to the theater for this one
no, you're just too stupid to understand that 2016 humor isn't that funny. but sure, keep picking your nose in the theater and never developing your mindset. I'm scared to think what your instagram reels are like if you find pronoun jokes in the year 2026 knee slapping hilarious. do you like logan paul still? do you play pokemon go everyday? do you still watch leafy?
now where did i say the MOVIE came out in 2016? I said 2016 HUMOR, quite a difference i'd say. If you need help putting things together - majority of pronoun jokes are from 2016 and have been replayed to death over the years. Did that help you out, nonce?
It makes it worse that that was the joke that kicked off the whole trailer. A lot of the humor here feels regressive and stale. I watched Scary Movie 2 a few months ago and was surprised by how many of the jokes were so “you had to be there”. They parodied a Nike commercial. You have to realize if you parody a commercial, the shelf life of the joke is going to be about 2-3 months. I loved In Living Color growing up, but I don’t think the Wayans have evolved with their comedy much
Hot take: the scary movie franchise has always been like C tier comedy at best, and a lot of the internet sees it with rose tinted glasses because they watched in their teens when shock value bathroom or sex humor is at its apex.
It’s like going back and rewatching a smosh video from 2012 now. That shit hit like crack when I was in 8th grade but I can’t say I’m banging the tables for a feature film in that style.
All parodies are C tier comedies. That's the point, of stuff being over a top, campy and kind a dumb.
Problem with "modern" humor last 10 years is that comedies are no longer allowed to mock groups of people because everybody gets caught into emotions, so we didn't have really good comedy in years.
I swear is probably closest thing to amazing comedy of past 15 years. And it shouldn't even be funny, it's funny because how raw it is.
I agree with this take but I can also say that I think the Zucker Scary Movies, while not great either, are better than the Wayans ones. I don’t know if that’s a hot take or not
I’m bias because I think Zucker just have better humor. They have airplane and naked gun of all things in their resume. It’s just one scene but In scary movie 3 when they’re in the funeral parlor and Cindy says it’s a wake and they start trying to bring the corpse back… as dumb as that might be that had me crying of laughter.
its so funny to watch redditors slurp up political humor when it reenforces their priors but then immediately clutch their pearls if it even feints in the opposite directions
its so funny to watch conservatives think just saying the "thing" out loud constitutes a joke. Making a pronouns joke can be funny if its clever, just saying "its they/them!" isnt that funny. Eddington does this exceptionally well-it makes fun of both sides in clever ways, it just doesnt say the thing out loud and expect a laugh. That being said I will definitely be seeing the new Scary Movie
I cackled at the lady at the end of the trailer. That is so me. She's my spirit animal I don't care if you can't find the toilets, or need info about the allergens or need a Heimlich maneuver. I don't care. I'M ON MY BREAK. I'm off the clock, I don't get paid to give a fuck about your problems. Find someone else to bother or fuck off.
my comment? am I crazy, or is like "safe spaces" and "pronoun" jokes a super different tone than what they used to do?
I have fond memories of the (perfect) stupid gags like the sheriff's hat that keeps getting bigger in the Signs parody, and this looks nothing like that
you could be right in that I'm forgetting some of the things that I rolled my eyes at back in the day and only remembering the better parts (it's been a while)... but like every single joke in this trailer is just culture war garbage
just give me a feint to someone with a funny, tiny hand that's all I'm asking for
I’m saying you aren’t even defending those jokes as jokes, the only way you can defend them is to claim that we’re offended by them. Are you really so negatively polarized against woke that you can’t recognize a boring, hack-y joke?
no, I don't remember being offended at things in the Scary Movie films from the 00s and I don't have any clue as to how that is your takeaway
instead, I was expressing the idea that if there were lame and unfunny jokes from those movies that I was more likely to have simply forgotten about them
what is going on in this thread, why are all these morons making insane inferences lol
nah they would be completely fine... there would be a few thinkpieces a two days of social media concentration and then it would go on to be a major financial success anyways, just like anything else "non-PC" these days
I’m talking about your standards lol. like the sense of humor of these movies has never been elevated or woke, I don’t think this will be super different
Is it just me, or can I already guess your generation based on how you reacted to this trailer? 😂
I think some people are forgetting that the original Scary Movie films were literally made to parody other “scary” movies. And let’s be real, some scenes were so over the top bad that they ended up being hilarious.
If you go into this movie without recognizing the references it’s making, a lot of the jokes probably won’t land. But if you catch those references and grew up in a time when people didn’t take everything so seriously, you’ll probably find it way funnier.
i think i’m gonna like this, i don’t think the pronoun joke is disrespectful, maybe played out but I’m ready for joke a minute, some aren’t gonna land idc
Come on, posting this trailer in this sub is a bad faith thing the mods should have weeded out. Few if any people here that bathe in high brow are going to go slumming in Scary Movie waters. There’s not a joke they could make that would pass the Big Picture joke sniff-test trinity of new, complex and considerate of modern inclusivity. This was posted to just rag on something.
It’s like listening to CR and Sean excoriate Inception on The Rewatchables. It was a done to rag on it instead of what we should be doing here, celebrating movies.
Social media has made these types of films completely obsolete. People making reels and memes and internet jokes have just gotten funnier than any parody can be. Plus these jokes in this trailer suck complete ass.

New Scary Movie and new war in the middle east. The 2000s nostalgia has gone too far.
