Kentucky Fried Movie is highly influential, routinely sampled, and yet I think mostly unseen. Like, everyone's seen Airplane. They've probably seen Naked Gun and heard of Police Squad. But this and Amazon Women On The Moon are those writers... doing Rick & Morty's interdimensional cable, basically. Freeform skits lasting however long they need to. The dumbest ideas you've ever heard, going in bizarre directions, and working far better than you expect. One of them stops the movie to have a panel discussion of the stereotypes present in the previous skit, and it is masterful.

I wouldn't say either is better than the straight spoofs. But they're what skit shows have been chasing for fifty years, and they're not gonna waste your time.
