WAIT! Before I divide my audience and drive away those who hate these movies let me just say...these movies are TERRIBLE. They have contributed nothing to film other than imitations and a lazy style of comedy that is constantly repeated so as to get a quick buck. The stories are bogus, rip-offs or pretentious, the characters are bland and unlikable and it only serves up some poop and snot gags with puns and sexual humour. But it's not all bad. Sure about 85-90% of each movie is poorly written crap, but every so often we get at least one good joke or funny moment. And we are here to talk about it today so that anyone who wants to watch these movies, they merely see this list, see the only good moments on offer and get an understanding that the rest of the movie roughly the same, but without any additional effort. I suppose I should warn you about what sort of language and images you'll hear and see, well be warned of racist comments, foul language and sexual content.
10. Jigsaws 2nd torture scene:
As we near the end of Scary Movie 4, we are given a scene in which Cindy and her friends are captured and forced to torture themselves in order to save their loved ones. This includes finding a key behind a fake eye, Tom being tortured with purple-nurples, wet-willies and nut-crackers. Another good moment is Brenda actually breaking into the Jig-Saw recording booth and going totally American Idol. It makes me laugh, so, yeah next scene.
9. Femme Fatal
Carmen Electra gets her first of many famous cameos in the Wayan Bros. films. In a parody of Drew Barrymore's famed cameo, Carmen makes all the cliched Dumb Blond moves and essentially is used for sex appeal. I don't know why I think this scene is so funny, maybe it's just so blatant with it's jokes, you laugh just in spite of yourself. Or maybe it's just so bad it's good. (Let's be honest, Electra is not a good actress, she's like Paris Hilton except hot)
8. Shakespeare in Pain
Don't you hate it when people talk during the movies, well Brenda does nothing but that. She breaks every rule in various over the top ways, before finally getting the comeuppance from the film audience. Everyone's pissed, even Mother Theresa and the Pope. And hey they managed to kill off one of my least favorite characters, so that's a plus.
7. The Exorcism
One does not forget the inclusion of James Woods (As well as other comedic greats, but we'll get to that later). The humour of Woods and Andy Richter bounce off of each other like an SNL sketch, which is good considering that both are alumni of the show. It's just really funny because of who they got, although that vomit fight can get quite disturbing.
6. Hanson vs Hartman
More like "hand"son vs Hartman, each scene exchange jibes and insults from "walking away from a fight" to "giving him a hand". I know it's inappropriate, but it's sort of like seeing a man in a hoodie helping an elder cross the road saying 'I'll take you to the other side'. You wouldn't do it, but you'll
laugh if you saw it. In fact most of the scenes where Hanson is in, it's funny to see the characters revulsion at his 'handy' nature.
5. News report
In one of the more goofy scenes, Cindy tries to warn the world of the alien threat, how? By hijacking the teleprompter. Everything from gibberish to a presidential candidacy is included. Not much to say but, I think it's pretty funny.
4. Marlon Wayans
I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but he is the funniest non-veteran comedians in the entire series. He has great slapstick, great one liners (need we forget: RUN BITCH! RUN!) and just some all around funny scenes. My favorites being Wazzup!, basketball andd rap battle. It's strange as I don't like him in anything else, but here the series in my opinion suffered without him, in spite of his high pitched voice and annoying racial stereotypes.
3. President Nielsen
You know, it's a sad moment when you realize that most of the world only knows Leslie Nielsen from this franchise. But at least he is introduced and all of his scene's are hilarious. But in my opinion, Nielsen actually downplays his comedy, not getting in as good a laugh as his earlier material. However he is probably the funniest and most likable character in the entire series. I would put two scenes here, but my favorite is probably this.
2. Bad design
George Carlin has the best scene in Scary movies 3, parodying the Matrix by explaining the origin of Tabitha. He's a funny comedian and this is actually the first trolling of the Matrix Reloaded (seriously, what was he talking about). Although there is a much better version on youtube starring Will Farrell. Just like the exorcism scene, it has a good comedian delivering such deadpan humour.
1. Ghostface
The reason I see this as the best moments in the series is due to Dave Sheridans performance, it's like they asked him to improvise all his lines and the rest was written by the cast of SNL. He has the best physical, slapstick and verbal humour and his laid back character is actually one of the funniest villains of all the Wayan Bro's films (that's not really a compliment).
So yeah, these are the funniest moments in the entire franchise. The better ones are probably Scary movie 1 and 3 in comparison to the other two, but that's the same as saying that piece of shit is better than this piece of shit. In the end, the films are to be avoided. This is Film 101 on how not to make a comedy, so in which case you should see it. Maybe then we can stop making such crap. We are one step closer then to stopping Transformers and Twilight knock-offs.
