I have seen a vast majority of parody movies and am looking to see if there are any outside of the Scary Movie and Friedburg movies. Things like Naked Gun, Airplane, and Top Secret also welcome

#

I do need to watch the Hot Shots movies. I have only ever had the sequel readily available

not exactly parodies like Scary Movie, that directly joke on specific other movies, but Blazing Saddles is thought to have been the nail in the coffin that ended the western genre, by lampooning its tropes so thoroughly, the genre couldnt possibly be played straight again for a while.
similarly, the first Austin Powers movie i've heard credited with ending the 'campiness' of the old James Bond movies, leading to the gritty realistic take in the Daniel Craig Bond movies.
besides those, i like Young Frankenstein for my personal favorite Max Brooks movie. i think it's the funniest, but it can't compete with Blazing Saddles in terms of influence.

Yeah probably should have made mention things like Mel Brooks as well. Have seen all of his stuff as well.

Not Another Teen Movie is the movie from that 2000s wave that tends to considered #1 Not Another Teen Movie, #2 Scary Movie, if you rank by actually funny movie. Scary Movie is #1 as far as cultural impact

Soul Men (2008)

Two former backup soul singers, Louis and Floyd, have not spoken to each other in 20 years, and reluctantly agree to travel across the country together to a reunion concert to honor their recently-deceased lead singer. Cleo, a beautiful young woman who is believed to be Floyd's daughter, accompanies them as a new singer.
