These men are responsible for the cinematic disasters known as "Meet the Spartans," "Date movie," "Epic Movie," "Disaster Movie," "vampires suck" etc. They killed parody movies. Their basic formula is to combine a bunch of recently made popular movies, then load it with shitty jokes and pop culture references that will become dated by next year. I will admit Scary Movie was funny back in 2000. It was a new kind of humor at the time. And Friedberg and Seltzer did not direct it either, which helped a lot. But that movie left a terrible legacy that may have caused parody movies to never recover from.
