That's pretty much why the 1990s Brady Bunch movies worked. They were, in a sense, spoofs of the original show, but it wasn't really done in nasty, dismissive way, and the characters still came off like human beings, even when acting ridiculous.

I know, it had such a sophisticated, high-brow origin! Who knew it would be made into such a ridiculous movie!
"Looka looka loo-loo" privilege.
As I live and breath, Ewoks 'til I die! My favorite woodland creatures from fantasy!
Danny returning the favor for James putting him in that medieval stoner movie they did together? Or is that a punishment?
It depends on which species you see as the villain. You don't see them fucking each other over for a god damn percentage.
Did you pity the donkey?
Mr. Ed proved there was just enough social charity to accept one talking animal TV show in human history. It was a cute show, so I'm okay with that.
I just watched Wild Geese for the first time last year, and immediately regretted that I had not discovered it earlier in life. It just didn't get the same endless TV replays like some other movies do.
Orderly: "I'm sorry folks, Mr. Moore has just passed on…"
Nurse: (Immediately runs to open window and screams at passerbys) "Hey everybody! Somebody just died! And because he wasn't a perfect human being, and because other people have shitty lives, let's all criticize the guy!"
James Bond: "Thanks for the ride, lady!"
To Bond's credit, he put the kibosh on her attempts to bed him.
License to Kill is one my fave Bond films, and Timothy Dalton played the part wonderfully. Also, like my favorite Bond film For Your Eyes Only, I appreciate that it had a callback to the ending of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
It never hurts to show Bond has a human side that can broken, just like the rest of us.
I know it's not the best Bond film, but For Your Eyes Only will always be my favorite.
R.I.P. Sir Roger Moore, you were always my favorite 007.
I believe he started out as a radio DJ in the 1950s, so his humor was a little more quirky in his early years, playing goofy characters in bits, etc. As the 60s and 70s went on it turned more into observational humor, and by the end of the 1980s he was convinced mankind was fucked.
So because horrible human rights violations were committed in the past in the name of nationalism and expansionism, that justifies me acting like a thug today. Cool, good to know.
Nothing, and that's the truly tragic thing about it. The only efforts available to prevent all terrorism require a draconian suspension of freedoms for everyone.
I love Carlin too, but let's not canonize the guy just because he's dead. A lot of his humor was pretty misanthropic, and it's clear that humanity as a whole had kind of broken him toward the end.
It was a darn good adaptation of the story. I remember sitting in the theaters being impressed by how accurate a reflection of the original comic it was, and actually thinking it IMPROVED some things from the comic (namely that movie Night Owl is shown seeing Rorshach's death and being upset about it, as well as…
Damn triangles, always sticking together…
