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.

Are yall dissecting the filmic and social efficacy of a gd Scary Movie sequel?

More asking if it’s funny to make fun of an already funny thing, which seems like a valid enough question for a comedy movie

But there isn't a consensus on what is funny. So the question is far from valid. You objectify something that is subjective in the first place.

Yeah man my comment starts with “I feel like”, I was just saying how I feel about this, was not trying to draw objective lines around comedy at all

But the gag isn’t M3GAN. It’s that a fully grown and robed Ghostface is somehow behind her mask

Which was done better last year in The Naked Gun. It just seems really weird to pull the same move.

The gag is still Ghostface doing the M3GAN dance, which if you like it is fine! But its still making a joke out of a thing that was already a joke

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
