Turkey Season (Part One): Some Of The Worst Comedy Movies
Scary Movie 3 [DVD] [2004]Scary Movie 3 [DVD] [2004]
Buy used from: £0.90
Neither of the preceding two Scary Movie instalments could ever be called ‘great’, but this movie (and the fourth chapter in the series) just goes to prove a filmmaker should know when to stop.
Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th [DVD] [2001]Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th [DVD] [2001]
Buy used from: £0.32
The “Scary Movie” series parodied some of the best (and worst) horror movies of recent times. This movie tried to lampoon “Scary Movie” with a limit on the laughs. Appalling.
Freddy Got Fingered [DVD] [2001]Freddy Got Fingered [DVD] [2001]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.97
Gross, crude, obscene…..all traits I can live with. One I can’t live with is a so-called “comedy” that’s dreadfully unfunny. Everyone involved with this turkey should hang their heads in shame.
Deuce Bigalow Make Gigolo / Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo [DVD] [1999]Deuce Bigalow Make Gigolo / Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo [DVD] [1999]
Buy used from: £14.93
This isn’t a case where the sequel was a poor imitation of the original. No, both “Deuce Bigalow” movies were seriously unfunny.
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka [DVD] [1988]I'm Gonna Git You Sucka [DVD] [1988]
Buy used from: £12.99
Despite the pain and anguish caused from watching this movie, at least it proves one thing: parodies of 70’s ‘blaxploitation’ movies are just not funny. Then again, Keenen Ivory Wayans did star in it

As soon as I heard a movie studio was making a comedy about conjoined twins, I knew I just had to see it. Well, that’s not exactly true. I saw it by accident. Now I wish I hadn’t. Shame on me.

Saw it once and wished I could've walked out, but I was on a plane over the Atlantic Ocean. Still thought about walking out though.
Cheech & Chong Up In Smoke [DVD] [1978]Cheech & Chong Up In Smoke [DVD] [1978]
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £1.99
Although I would never approve the usage of mind altering drugs, it seems you need to be on ‘something’ to find this, or any other Cheech & Chong movie, remotely funny.

Leslie Nielson *can* be a really funny guy….but those funny comedies are quite scarce. Now he’s just content churning out a plethora of turkeys like this one.
Drop Dead Fred [DVD] [1991]Drop Dead Fred [DVD] [1991]
Buy new: £3.08 / Used from: £1.84
From a guy that made me laugh as Vivien in “The Young Ones” and Richie in “Bottom”, this wasn’t the best way to start his Hollywood career. Good thing then he never became a “star”.
Look Who's Talking Now [DVD] [1993]Look Who's Talking Now [DVD] [1993]
Buy used from: £7.49
Now the kids have grown up and can talk themselves, someone thought it would be a great idea to make another sequel with talking dogs. Approach with caution….and call a vet.

So, Dolly Parton thought she could turn Sly Stallone into a country music sensation? Even that factor – not to mention the lack of laughs – made this movie a turkey.
Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls (1995) [DVD]Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls (1995) [DVD]
Buy new: £4.58 / Used from: £1.25
Should I ever find myself on Death Row, I’m opting to watch this movie as a way to end my life. I say someone should find the mastertape of this movie and burn it.
Police Academy 7   (DVD) [1994]Police Academy 7 (DVD) [1994]
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.49
The main stars of the series had already jumped ship by the sixth sequel, so what you had left was the unfunny characters making an unfunny film.
American Pie Presents Band Camp [DVD] [2005]American Pie Presents Band Camp [DVD] [2005]
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £0.79
The original cast members knew they had taken the concept as far as they could, so congratulations to them for not appearing in this fourth slice of mouldy pie.
Mars Attacks! [DVD] [1997]Mars Attacks! [DVD] [1997]
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £3.76
Like a mega-budget version of “Scary Movie”, this movie had it all: an “A” list cast and some great SFX. One thing it sorely lacked was a script that produced laughs. Abysmal beyond belief.
Jackass The Movie [DVD] [2003]Jackass The Movie [DVD] [2003]

Not a ‘comedy’ as such, but come one! What’s funny about a group of dumb friends trying their best to inflict injury and serious harm on one another???

Jesus wept! Okay, so the ‘Girls could never be accused of being award winning actresses or comedic geniuses, but come on! This movie was just “Freddy Got Fingered” kinda awful.

The only good thing to come out of this turkey of a musical-comedy was the fact Robin Williams managed to come out of it unscathed. Shelly Duvall on the other hand……….
