Probably the funniest thing I really should have seen 20 to 30 years ago.

As I watched this I couldn't believe how much inspiration Rick and Morty's Interdimensional Cable took from the insanity of UHF.

Thankfully there were lulls in the movie to calm me down from delirious laughing fits. It was just so clever with its jokes, none felt dated or used overdone tropes, and feels just as fresh now in 2023 as it probably did in 1989. Michael Richard's Stanley Spadowski seemed like a proto-dumb and dumber character but played in my opinion with much better comedic acting, even though I hold Jim Carey in high esteem, the level of insanity mixed with kid-like innocence from Michael Richard never felt obnoxious.

This is a damn funny comedy movie, but only to certain people with a forgiving sense of humor.
It's just silly. Just silly weird insane stupid jokes.

Weird Al hit it out of the park with this, and I'm pretty upset there weren't more movies like this from him.
