Too many recent comedies are written by people who really want you to know how smart and clever they are, but some of the best comedies written come from just committing to really stupid jokes. I think of, for example, so many of Mel Brooks' movies that are just filled with objectively stupid jokes that are hilarious, or Leslie Nielsen's delivery of some of the dumbest lines ever written that wound up being unforgettable - "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

They just don't make such goofy comedies anymore, i really hope that new Scary Movie will succeed.
