Spy Hard definitely doesn't hold up but it does have this brilliant gag which I still reference to this day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-RsB-L2fQY

Even the real bad ones have one solid gag, like the Marcel Marceau joke in Silent Movie.

Meatballs is straight up not a good movie. Plenty of 80s comedy is good though.

It doesn't help that there's a few jokes that they recycle from the show for the movie as well. The piece of banana on the tall cop's face is one that I can think of off the bat.

Last year I sat down and watched the Scary Movie series, for some reason. At the time they came out I didn't want to see them cause they looked like poo poo. The first few are actually quite funny, and then 4 or 5 just gets real bad.

My introduction to the Naked Gun series was seeing the first scene of 33 1/3rd on TV. I hadn't seen The Untouchables yet at this point, but it was one of the funniest movie scenes I'd seen at that point in my life. Edit: I was watching a best Frank Drebin lines video. There's a part where Jane confronts him about how he doesn't want to have kids, and he mentions that he tried to "adopt that 18 year old Korean girl". I get that joke now

Caddyshack might have also been a 70's movie except Hurricane David delayed production and it was released in 1980.The only thing that really elevates Stripes was Murray's "There's something very wrong with us!" motivational speech which was the very best out of all the motivational speeches that were pretty much an essential element of the "schlubby losers take on The Establishment and win" comedies of that era including Revenge Of The Nerds, Meatballs, Animal House, Trading Places, Ghostbusters, etc etc etc..

Someone mentioned The Jerk earlier but I also love the other two Martin/Reiner collabs, The Man With Two Brains and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. I also came across this really funny romantic spoof with Steve Martin and Charles Grodin called The Lonely Guy having never heard of it before. Some hilarious gags in that one and my favourite Grodin character outside of Midnight Run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXCVIXXNghw I really don't understand Caddyshack, I've tried it a few times but not a single laugh in there for me except maybe the weird sounds Chase makes when putting.

Where does Stripes fall in all this 80s comedy talk? I remember liking it as a kid, but I can't quite rule out that the mud wrestling scene played a large role in that. Trading Places is still one of my all time favourites though.

It's like they had an idea for a wacky bootcamp comedy and a wacky behind-enemy-lines sequel but they couldn't think of enough material to flesh them both out so they just mooshed them together. Police Academy is pretty much the exact same film but it pulls it off a lot better.

The original Police Academy is actually pretty solid (apart from a bunch of  80s gags) even though the sequels are godawful and it definitely pulls off the "training but then suddenly their first mission" segue a lot better than Stripes does.

Terminator is good, but it's also one of the rare examples where the sequel is actually better. I'd say Alien/Aliens is the same, but apparently that's controversial.

I just watched High Anxiety like a month or so ago since I have that box set. It's very much for people who love Alfred Hitchcock. There's good gags in there, but I felt like I was missing references. Twelve Chairs I watched when I first got that set years ago. It's not as much of a comedy. It was interesting to see an early Brooks do a first attempt of a film without his humor, but I hardly remember much of it at this point.
