For a movie fan, there aren't many things that are more depressing than realizing you wasted two hours watching an awful film. No matter the reason why it's terrible, you can't ever get the time back and the lingering memories of weak plot lines and wooden acting don't always leave your head very easily. One of the only possibly redeeming qualities for an awful movie is humor. Whether it's completely unintentional in a serious movie or a rare stroke of genius in a failed comedy, these moments of humor can help lessen the pain of watching a terrible movie. Here's 10 of the all-time funniest moments from awful movies.
10. Phone Call From Ghostface - Scary Movie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU8sA2-9YdY When Scary Movie was released in 2000, it seemed like a fairly novel idea. Make a satire of the slasher genre that makes fun of the seriousness of horror and also uses lots of raunchy humor. The clip here is a good demonstration of how Scary Movie does that as it shows Ghostface making a chilling phone call to Shorty. Instead of threatening his life though, Ghostface simply asks Shorty what he's doing. Both Shorty and Ghostface confess to being bored and soon several of Shorty's friends answer the phone by yelling "Whassup!" Making Ghostface seem like a normal guy is a good joke for this scene but unfortunately it's a recurring joke that is spread out throughout the movie. Scary Movie continually pokes fun at the horror genre, with hit-and-miss jokes that end up missing more than they hit. It's also worth noting that this film paved the way for the annoying Scary Movie franchise and its abysmal spin-offs like Epic Movie and Disaster Movie.
