"Trey Parker's extraordinary puppet comedy may find its spoof status in dispute perhaps because it spoofs more than one thing at a time: it spoofs action adventures and superhero combos as well as satirising gung-ho American nationalism and exceptionalism."
"Homage to Hitchcock High Anxiety... Mel Brooks's send-up of Hitchcock's psychological suspense thrillers features Brooks as Dr Richard Thorndyke, the psychoanalyst neurotically afflicted with a fear of heights."
"Michel Hazanavicius's OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies is a very closely observed and very funny spy spoof, riffing on the Bondian French agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath."
"I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a blaxploitation spoof produced during the golden age of 80s' spoofs, reflecting the self-referential style of the era."
Trey Parker's puppet comedy critiques action adventures and superhero films while satirizing American nationalism. Mel Brooks created a full-dress spoof of Alfred Hitchcock's psychological thrillers in High Anxiety. The film features Dr Richard Thorndyke who suffers from acrophobia. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies serves as a keenly observed spy spoof based on the character Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath by Jean Bruce. Additionally, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka represents a self-referential blaxploitation spoof from the 1980s, epitomizing the era's comedic style.
