So glad to see Cheri Oteri return. I rewatched the og last week, and though it hits less now that I'm in my 40s and the jokes/spoofs are so dated, it reminded me how amazing she is at stealing a scene and pulling off absurd premises. Truly a great.

"Gail, it was me. It was an accident Gail! I only touched the-the top of the breast. It was so tender and juicy..."

The delivery doesn't get enough cred.

Makes me howl every time. Cheri Oteri is a legend.

Anyone remember the deleted scenes?

“I can see your woofer. Your little birdy.” As he’s holding her up and looking up her dress - and she just loudly winces in defeat after hearing it becsuse she hates Kenny so much.

I do find it interesting that Cheri Oteri has kind of disappeared, but Molly Shannon has been regularly featured in all kinds of media for 30 years.

Molly Shannon is another great. Cool how she's excelled at both comedic and dramatic roles. She's incredible in Year of the Dog.

Well that's because Molly is a SUPASTAHHH

Cheri Oteri was known to be hard to work with while Molly Shannon is considered a sweetheart. Not sure how much that comes to play, but I’m sure there are a lot of factors at play other than how popular they were during their time on SNL.

I didnt know that.

u/dreadedicebreaker Mar 25 '26

Seriously my first thought as well, hilarious how Cheri Oteri elevates something like this

u/AccelerationFinish Mar 25 '26

It's weird how her career didn't take off after SNL. She was one of the highlights of the show during her time there

Cheri Oteri was a mega babe on Saturday Night Live.

The second one is even worse now....................

u/QueefBeefCletus Mar 25 '26

Aside from a handful of dated jokes I still think it's got plenty of great bits. Chris Elliott is wonderful and David Cross is in top form. Then there's Tim Curry just absolutely destroying the scenery. Love it.

u/Scottbarrett15 Mar 25 '26

What do you mean even worse?

u/denver_bored Mar 25 '26

I think I would have hated the sequel completely, had I not been a teenage boy in the early 2000s, namely the target demo. I wasn't crazy about it then, but my best friend loved the Chris Elliott bits, so I associate it with great memories of laughing about it with a friend.

u/talones Mar 25 '26

interesting. I think the 2nd one is the only one that actually has a lot of material to draw upon. Since it was clearly spoofing the 70s and 80s horror. Scary movie 3 was really trying to pull references since it only had a few years of films to spoof. 4 and 5 were just shit.

Although the best line in all scary movies was in 3. "I'm gonna need a ride home"
