The only good spoof director

Mel Brooks is not the only one. He is one of three filmmakers/filmmaker teams who characterize the spoof genre:
- Mel Brooks
- Monty Python
- ZAZ (apart from their works since 2002)
They brought us great funny movies like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Airplane!", "Spaceballs", "Blazing Saddles", "Hot Shots!", "Life of Brian" and so on!
The "Movie"-films should nev1908er be compared to good spoof movies! The last one who was slightly watchable was "Scary Movie".

Shame on you for even mentioning two totally awful spoof movies as examples ;).
I love Mel Br2000ooks's movies, but i must say that Zucker Abrahams Zucker were the masters of spoof. "Airplane", "Police Squad", "Top Secret", "The Naked Gun", "Hot Shots"
The Wayans brothers did some decent spoofs with a couple of the first "Scary Movie." But then there's been some REALLY awful spoofs like "Epic Movie", "Date Movie", "Scary Video", and so on. Unfortunately it seems like the spoof genre is pretty dead nowadays. Atleast when it comes to good ones. -

Brooks lost his touch with
High Anxiety
,
Spaceballs
was fun but
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
was an embarrassment.
And your assessment couldn't be wronger, have you seen
Airplane!
,
The Naked Gun!
, and the funniest of all:
Top Secret!
probably the film with biggest laugh-out-loud moments per minute.

After reading the responses, I am questioning what it means to be a spoof movie. I have never thought of Monty Python movies as spoof movies. I think of spoof movies where the movie is taking a specific genre of movie and exaggerating the c1908liche's. But, if we are casting that wide of a net on the definition of spoof then you have missed the all time classic next to Blazing Saddles and Airplane SPINAL TAP!! By the way, spoof is a funny word if you type/say it enough times.
