During the 1960's craze for spy spoofs, there were many truly terrible ones. A few that come to mind are The Fat Spy, Don't Worry We'll Think of a Title, and The Nasty Rabbit.
National Lampoon Goes to the Movies AKA Movie Madness consists of three film parodies, each one of which completely misses the mark.
Car 54, Where Are You? is a grotesque insult to the old television series, which was actually quite funny.
The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu completely wasted the talents of the great Peter Sellers. I might say the same about The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother and Gene Wilder.
Galaxina is a laugh-free science fiction spoof, made more uncomfortable to watch by the murder of its star, Dorothy Stratten.
The Creature Wasn't Nice AKA Spaceship AKA Naked Space tried to be the outer space version of Airplane! and failed miserably.
I've seen a lot of lousy comedies.

Epic Movie, Superhero Movie...pretty much that whole franchise. Scary Movie 1-4, I thought, had their moments. I'd prefer Mystery Science Theater commentary to most parody films. On the other hand, I liked the movie Mafia! (1998) even though no one else seems to.
Ive never cared for his comedy but , he can act.

Echoing Foxbat: any Carry On film that had Barbara Windsor in it. Until then, there was gentle and funny innuendo (who can forget Hattie Jaques and the thermometer skit?) and as soon as she arrived comedy left by the front door and smutty, unfunny situations were written in that killed it for me.
And totally agree about Adam Sandler!

Im not wild about most of Adam Sander's comedy roles but, in serious acting roles , he's pretty good.

Sons of the Desert is (imho) the best Laurel and Hardy movie. They were a little hit and miss with the feature length films, as often slapstick was better kept to the half hour slot. You can see many influences of this movie in a number of their shorts, but it's varied and funny enough to stay the distance. Second favourite is A Chump At Oxford. Of the shorts two of my favourites are Laughing Gravy and The Music Box, but The Live Ghost makes me laugh out loud every time. There is surely nothing funnier than Stan Laurel in 'scared/crying' mode.

Galaxina. It's an eighties movie on Amazon Prime. It's trying to be a funny space opera but it's laboured and dull and vague. Everyone in it is annoying to one level or another. Every 'joke' is a misfire. To put the absolute miserable and tragic cherry on top, the main star was murdered a year later. Which puts a downer on an already funless movie...

Naploean Dynamite. A friend told me it was the funniest thing he ever saw, so I went. I left a third of the way in and snuck into another movie. I never did that before, nor did since, but it felt justified given the theatre gave me no warning.
A really atrocious film that spawned two even more dire sequels, Porky's II The Next Day and Porky's Revenge.

Oh, yes. Terrible film. Zero laughs, at least from me.
The first Police Academy movie was dumb but, fun and entertaining and the should have left it at that. The sequels were dumb, unfunny and wretchedly bad with no entertainment value whatsoever. There was also a Police Academy animated tv seres oof which I skipped completely.
The Ernest films were absolute comedy garbage. Ernest was an unfunny and other obnoxious character. How they starched this into movie series boggles the mind.
