eXplicit: I got two words for you: Red Dwarf.

I think the seriousness adds into the humor. Zombies don't need to be stupid. The film had references to other zombie films. The title itself is based of George Romero's work "Dawn of the Dead."
Even if Simon Pegg does insists that it's a 'zombie movie that happens to be funny,' the movie appears to be a parody to many since he was pretty much influenced by Romero, hands down...
I guess that's why it seems like parody to me :)

actually shaun of the dead isn't a parody. Simon insists that it's a 'zombie movie that happens to be funny' because if you think about it it's quite serious in the zombie bits, for instance they look scary, not stupid on purpose to be funny.

I think the reason hot fuzz and shaun of the dead were so big is because britain don't do many parody movies especially like these whereas in america it is done quite alot and it is getting a bit old.

Lol, true true. They were much more convincing. I have to say, American parodies are just sad excuses... seriously (they follow the sad pattern, which I haven't seen in Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead).
I wish I was in Britain right now XD

Yeah but when americans do movies like scary movie (which was good but taken to far in some parts) its not really as good as hot fuzz and shaun of the dead because Shaun and Hot Fuzz were more serious
KuroKuroMaan (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Interesting that the comedy the actors in Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of the Dead (which were brilliantly done, mind you) did are actually parodies. Their comedy just pokes fun... not really a big achievement, despite the fact that they were able to do well on those two movies.
Can't really say who can do better, really.
But that's my two cents.

Only us Brits can do a comedy as good as Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of the Dead |
