Life is too short to find this offensive 

This is wild as hell. This is comedy gold. I'm not sure if this is the first parody film but it is certainly one of the best. Sure the jokes aren't everyone's cup of tea, so I can't recommend it for everyone.

Mainly this focuses on slapstick and sex jokes. But it also references so many old-school horror films, this one specifically does 80s slashers. The parody scenes that copy some of the older films were done perfectly and to this day I always think about this film when I rewatch the original scream.

The script is witty, funny and pretty much laughs a minute and the gags and spoofs are mostly dead on, my favourite being the one with GhostFace and Anna fighting on the stairs and she pushes a piano down them, making him bolt them. I will say though, a lot of this is very offensive in many different ways, so really this isn't something you could show your parents. Like, you feel bad for laughing, but it's just so damn funny. I didn't really care for the stoner humour though.

Admittedly the acting is really good, and funny too. Regina Hall is honestly my favourite throughout all these, she's just so unhinged and out of pocket. I don't think there wasn't a time she was on screen and I didn't laugh.

Overall this is a good enjoyable watch, for the right people. If you want to just have a laugh please go watch this

"Cindy Campbell: I thought you loved me.

Bobby: Oh, I did, baby, I did. But being in abstinence makes you wonder new things about yourself. That's right Cindy, I'm gay. And in case you haven't noticed, so is Ray.

Ray: What? I ain't gay!

Bobby: What are you talking about? You took me to that club.

Ray: So? They play good music.

Bobby: What about our trip to San Francisco?

Ray: I wanted to go shopping.

Bobby: [on the verge of tears] But... you made love to me.

Ray: First of all, you sucked my...

Bobby: Whatever!"

"The Killer: Do you know where I am?

[Feet are sticking out from behind couch, and are kicking up and down]

Cindy Campbell: Um, you're behind the couch, I can see your feet.

The Killer: [Killer sticks head up and sees his feet. He grabs his head] D'oh!"
