10 Most Hilarious Parody Movies of All Time That'll Leave Your Face Hurting 

10. Not Another Teen Movie (2001)

Tired of the repetitive teen rom-coms of the 1990s, director Joel Gallen decided to make his own — and arguably, one of the best by far. In perhaps the most classic teen movie tale, a popular high-school jock gets challenged by his friends to turn a shy and bullied girl into a prom queen… And hopelessly falls in love with her.

You can watch Not Another Teen Movie on Hulu, Netflix, and Prime Video.

9. Scary Movie (2000)

A very similar thought occurred to Keenen Ivory Wayans, the director of Scary Movie who pumped his flick full with the most popular horror cliches of the 1990s — and still produced a greatly entertaining film. A group of teenagers who accidentally killed a man is haunted by a mysterious mumbling killer who picks them off one by one.

You can watch Scary Movie on Max, Hulu, Netflix, and Prime Video.

8. This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

A mockumentary on the rockumentary genre, Rob Reiner’s This Is Spinal Tap spinal-taps into the idea of filming an aspiring heavy metal band on their tour that proves to be fateful. Unlike other movies on our list, This Is Spinal Tap was largely improvised by the director and the cast, making it a whole new level of fun.

You can watch This Is Spinal Tap on Apple TV and Prime Video.

7. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)

Oh but whatever can one man do about all those James Bond rip-offs that are flooding the market? Make a parody superspy movie that’ll overshadow them all, of course — if that man is director Jay Roach. Austin Powers is a part-time superspy agent, a womanizer, and a time traveler on a quest to defeat Dr. Evil for good.

You can watch Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery on Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

6. Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)

Mel Brooks once thought to himself, “What if Robin Hood wasn’t as pure in his intentions and leaned more into the ‘thief’ part of his ‘Prince of Thieves’ nickname?” That’s how Robin Hood: Men in Tights was born where the iconic bandit embarks on a quest to find a key to a beautiful lady’s heart — and that pesky fidelity belt, too.

You can watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights on Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

5. Blazing Saddles (1974)

Quentin Tarantino was far from the first person to try and make a Western that’s fun and racism-bashing. The same old Mel Brooks decided to do it back in 1974 and nailed it! In Blazing Saddles, a corrupt politician appoints a Black Sheriff to a town he plans to take over with his bandits, but the new law enforcer proves to be a menace.

You can watch Blazing Saddles on Prime Video.

4. Spaceballs (1987)

Believe it or not, but here we have another classic parody flick from Mel Brooks. This time around, the director decided to ridicule the genre of sci-fi — what better time to do that than during the Star Wars ’ peak popularity? In Spaceballs, adventurous but misfit heroes have to defeat an evil president and ruin his sinister air-stealing plans.

You can watch Spaceballs on Max, Hulu, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

3. Airplane! (1980)

“The genre of heroic mid-air rescues is in a desperate need for a less heroic rescue,” thought three fellow directors Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker. Their movie Airplane! follows a particular flight where, after the entire crew goes down with severe food poisoning, it falls upon a neurotic ex-fighter pilot to land the plane safely.

You can watch Airplane! on Apple TV and Prime Video.

2. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)

Police movies and TV shows have always been popular, and so have their parodies. While the US was obsessing over Police Academy, director David Zucker was making The Naked Gun movies — the golden classics following an incompetent police detective on a mission to save progressively more important targets.

You can watch The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! on Hulu, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

In the world where epic fantasy sagas have been ever so prevalent since the day they were invented, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones found the ultimate way to make fun of them. Monty Python and the Holy Grail follows King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table on their quest for — you guessed it — the Holy Grail. They have to overcome various incredibly daft obstacles only to have the most bizarre finale.

You can watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail on Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.
