Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are the "creative" duo writing/directing force behind some of your favorite movies of all time such as Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie. And now they're back with Vampires Suck.
Talk Soup referred to them as "reference movies" rather than spoofs or parodies because they don't actually spoof or parody anything -- they just rehash scenes from other movies, go for the cheap kick-to-the-crotch joke, have one of their actors pretending to be a celebrity but need another actor to point out what celebrity is being portrayed, and that is supposed to be the punchline.
Sometimes they stretch their talents and really go for broke to get a laugh like with a "Don't vote for Pedro" t-shirt.
Make reference to something in current pop culture, kick someone in the crotch, make reference to something in current pop culture, insert a vomit joke, make reference to something in current pop culture, have someone fall down, end movie.
In many ways, they're like Homer Simpson's take on comedy. Homer makes fun of other characters sort of like this: "Look at me! I'm Lisa! Look at Lisa carrying her books around! Look at how Lisa eats spaghetti!" These movies follow the same format.
Before you watch the trailer, I bet you can probably predict every lame joke and what they're going to make reference to beforehand.
