If you loved Amazon Women on the Moon with its wacky sketches, over-the-top parodies, and late-night TV vibe, you’re in for a treat! We’ve rounded up 10 movies that bring the same energy — chaotic, hilarious, and packed with satire. Let’s dive into this list and explore some cinematic gems that’ll keep the laughs coming.
1. Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)
This one’s like the OG of sketch-comedy films. Directed by John Landis (yep, same guy from Amazon Women on the Moon), it’s a collection of hilarious skits poking fun at everything from martial arts flicks to news broadcasts. The “Fistful of Yen” sequence is pure gold. If you love random, no-holds-barred comedy, this is a must-watch.
2. The Groove Tube (1974)
A cult classic that paved the way for sketch comedy in film, The Groove Tube takes aim at 1970s TV and commercials. It’s low-budget but big on laughs, with skits that’ll remind you of Amazon Women on the Moon’s playful mockery of media. Bonus: Look out for Chevy Chase in one of his early roles!
3. UHF (1989)
Weird Al Yankovic at his best. UHF is about a quirky guy running a low-budget TV station filled with bizarre and hilarious programming. Think of it as the ultimate homage to late-night TV, with shows like “Wheel of Fish” and “Conan the Librarian” stealing the spotlight. If you love absurd humor, this is your jam.
4. Airplane! (1980)
Okay, this one’s iconic. Airplane! is a parody of disaster movies, but it’s got the same rapid-fire jokes and absurd situations that fans of Amazon Women on the Moon crave. “Don’t call me Shirley” is just one of the many unforgettable lines that’ll stick with you.
5. National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)
This spoof of buddy-cop action movies like Lethal Weapon is packed with ridiculous gags and slapstick humor. It’s a bit more focused than Amazon Women on the Moon, but it has that same goofy spirit. Plus, Samuel L. Jackson and Emilio Estevez make a surprisingly hilarious duo.
6. History of the World: Part I (1981)
Mel Brooks is the king of parody, and this movie proves it. From cavemen to the French Revolution, Brooks pokes fun at history in a way that’ll have you in stitches. “It’s good to be the king” is one of those lines you’ll be quoting forever.
7. Top Secret! (1984)
From the makers of Airplane!, this one spoofs war movies and Elvis-style musicals. Val Kilmer stars as a rock-and-roll singer caught in a wild espionage plot. The sight gags and puns come at you fast, so be ready to laugh (and rewind to catch what you missed).
8. Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (1983)
If you love absurd comedy, you can’t skip Monty Python. This one’s structured like a series of sketches about life’s stages — from birth to death. It’s bizarre, brilliant, and often laugh-out-loud funny. The “Every Sperm Is Sacred” musical number? Classic.
9. Scary Movie (2000)
Switching gears to horror parodies, Scary Movie is a laugh riot that takes aim at popular scary films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It’s raunchier and more modern than Amazon Women on the Moon, but the over-the-top humor hits the same sweet spot.
10. Black Dynamite (2009)
A love letter to Blaxploitation films, Black Dynamite nails the look, feel, and over-the-top ridiculousness of its genre while adding a modern twist. It’s satirical, self-aware, and ridiculously funny — just like our beloved Amazon Women on the Moon.
