No, Police Squad specifically flopped as a tv show because you had to be actually watching and paying attention to understand the jokes which people didn't really do and that was decades ago
Since movies are treated the same way today there's no reason to think something like it today would do well even if it was made properly
Comedy farce spoofs really died in the 90s and oversaturation with the "X movie" series by Friedberg and Seltzer, e.g. Scary Movie, Epic Movie, etc. killed what little there was afterwards.
The other half of it is that with streaming and loosening TV standards, the R-rated raunchy comedy film doesn't have that much of an audience since TV shows will do the same shit that used to be only in theaters or DVDs.
And we're already so irony poisoned from stuff like Marvel movies not willing to commit to a serious scene for 10 seconds without throwing a joke in there, that people have to comment on something like Top Gun presenting itself sincerely. It's hard to spoof things when they barely take themselves seriously in the first place.
the guy who made Black Dynamite is doing another movie.
Outlaw Johnny Black is a comedy but it isn't really a Black Dynamite-style "lmao look how jank low budget 70s westerns were" kind of film like how Black Dynamite parodied the kind of stupid shit you'd see in blaxploitation flicks.

It was only ever done ironically and was considered silly and stupid even at the height of its use. This is like someone in 2045 asking why people stopped using "keyed."
The real answer is the vast majority of internet access is through smartphones and that's been true since the end of the '00s, and when you're swiping or tapping and the phone autocorrects it's easier to just spell correctly rather than make pointless substitutions.
Of course, anybody that isn't typing by looking at the keyboard is probably conditioned to type faster by spelling correctly too.
Isnt megatokyo dead?
Latest comic was June 30th of this year.

There's some marginal improvement to be fair. Apparently he's an architect now.
To confuse boomers
Holy shit my dyslexic ass has more trouble reading normal text

N1663R5
Everything disappears.
>Why did leetspeak disappear?
Turned into chudspeak instead.
people don't type on keyboards anymore
leetspeak died with the normie invasion of 2007. As well know by now, that is when the real internet ended.

Airplane ia in every boomer's top 5 movies of all time
It holds up though. It and Naked Gun.
Are there even any decent modern movies like these? Hell, even comedy movies in general seem to have slipped.
Depending on what you mean by modern, Scary Movie 3
Scary Movie 3 is ancient by now.
Scary Movie 3 came out 20 years ago, my man.
Now this I'm interested in.

Spoof movies culminated with Scary Movie, and thereafter rapidly started changing into box office poison.

Surely you can't be serious?
