i got out all my old spoof films and have been working my way thru them, i had forgotten how funny most of them are. (im not on about scary movie and all those modern piles of crap. i mean the proper old school jim abrahams style spoof films)
some of the jokes are so quick that you miss 'em first few times round.
the police squad episodes (precursors to the naked gun films) especially are awesome.
just watched hot shots 1 & 2 this morning. lloyd bridges (RIP) is the man. "then where the hell was i? and who the hell is sheryl?!"
collection of his best moments
and the underwater fight scene in top secret is the best fight scene ever
if theres any ive missed in this list then post 'em up...
airplane 1&2
police squad series episodes 1 - 6

some choice quotes from imdb
Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.
Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
[as the plane prepares to take off]
Hanging Lady: Nervous?
Ted Striker: Yes.
Hanging Lady: First time?
Ted Striker: No, I've been nervous lots of times.
Elaine Dickinson: You got a letter from headquarters this morning.
Ted Striker: What is it?
Elaine Dickinson: It's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important.
Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?
Rumack: What was it we had for dinner tonight?
Elaine Dickinson: Well, we had a choice of steak or fish.
Rumack: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.
Rex Kramer: Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. It's a dumb question... skip it.
Ted Striker: It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit.
[reading newspaper headlines]
Rex Kramer: Passengers certain to die!
Steve McCroskey: Airline negligent.
Johnny: There's a sale at Penney's!

I don't like modern spoofs either. They tend to just make a reference to another film, with an overstated nod and a wink to the audience just to make it absolutely clear that they've done a joke, and that's it....that's the joke.
They just seem to reference things with the thing they're spoofing's theme music playing over the top, and they think that's enough in itself to be a joke.
The good spoofs used to be both clever with added funny twists to them, and actually had some creativity to them which made them funny.
I hate the modern way of spoofs where they seem overly smug and think they're clever and are nowhere near as funny as they think they are.
I liked 'Top Secret' which a lot of people haven't heard of. The posh guy who's currently in 'Emmerdale' was in it and there's a funny scene where he gets shagged by a bull and can't walk properly afterwards.
