discussion Could the "Scary Movie" movies be released today?

[Gui Blackout]

 

 

Is it possible for satire comedy movies like the ones from the Scary Movie franchise be released today, or would it be canceled for being "problematic"?

Edited July 5, 2022 by Gui Blackout

Not at all, a lot of the humor would be seen as problematic nowadays

 

movies like Borat and Brüno wouldn’t exist either

[Hurem]

Absolutely not.

[HauntinglyHollow]

Nope, please these days are p**sies, but damn I miss the crazyness of these movies

Borat 2 was released last year.

Only 1-3.

 

Queen Brenda (Regina Hall) is a legend and would still be able to put on a show.

[UnusualBoy]

No, people have become a bunch of babies and complain about anything, the movies would get dragged till the pits of hell.

[Squall]

No, people in 2022 would realize how unfunny this franchise is.

[Gorjesspazze9]

No cuz cuz people can’t separate good humor films from thier own hypocrisy. Scary Movie 1 & 2 are genuinely funny but wouldn’t be appreciated in this era

Borat 2.

 

The first movie sure as hell wouldn’t have been greenlit in 2022.

[Bloodflowers.]

Only if Anna Faris and Regina Hall return 

[konaa]

No, and they shouldn’t. I’d wager anyone complaining about people being babies likely haven’t seen or rewatched Scary Movie outside of racist Brenda compilations either, because a lot of the jokes have aged poorly. There’s so much gross transphobia in them. 
 

 

[305]

Probably not which is a shame because those movies are genuinely funny

 

 

This **** is hilarious 

[Beyonnaise]

I think Gen Z is less sensitive than the terminally online "carrd in bio" Twitter types would make us think. I saw clips of the first movie viral recently, namely the one who's in denial about being gay. And obviously Brenda will always be an iconic meme staple.

[DoubleRainbow!]

No, they would get canceled on social media.

Current generations are so so bitter and unfunny 

[TheLastChord]

It could be released and find some successs due to the controversy backlash, but it would never get made. No studio would dare. 

[Venice B]

It's been ages since I last saw a movie from this franchise but I just watched the trailer in the op and omg that's so bad I don't remember the movie being this bad

[feelslikeadream]

Idk but that trailer for SM2 in the OP was so bad  Not a single funny joke.

[Sharapov]

nope and its sad cause cindy and esp. brenda are the funniest characters in the history of film

[DoubleRainbow!]

No, they would get canceled on social media.

Yikes. I thought you might have been being a tough crowd but…. 

[XAMJ]

People are 'sensitive' is a way of saying, i cant be racist or sexist 

[BOOMBAYAH]

I don’t think they would do well, but not because of the humour, that structure of film is just dated. I don’t get people in here acting like politically incorrect/dark humour is over when there’s millions of different communities and platforms dedicated to just that. Hell even Netflix endorses a Dave Chappelle + his shows still are enjoyed by millions.

I mean that’s usually what politically incorrect humor entails  

ot: yes it could there would just be more eyes on it. I thought gen z liked these movies

[Totami Legend]

The over dramatics in this thread 

 

y'all need a rewatch cause nothing was problematic in those movies
