When informed they were Tweety toys, the joke, intentional or not, landed hard.
Toys: Tweety
Jeep: Sylvester
Old Lady: Granny

It seems kinda obvious to me, but I'll say it anyway...
SHARKNADO VII: HAMMER-TIME!!
Movie trailer tagline: "This Hammer's Gonna Fall!"
Considering the source, it's weirdly about halfway accurate. (e.g.: The painting of Michael B. Jordan ain't half bad.)
I won't drop a bunch of spoilers pointing out what's right or wrong, but I will say this; the classic, Universal Pictures vampire in the top-right is just too funny! π
Never thought of it before, but this lives in my head, now;
Musk flogging a new cut of "The Current War" with him CGI'd in to replace all shots of Edison.
Westinghouse & Tesla bend the knee, saying how awesome and super-smarty-smart he is.
Teddy Roosevelt (not even in the original cut) adopts him.

Speaking as something of a grammar snob who almost went into creative writing after HS, I don't know where to start. The macho BS and bad grammar are, sadly, par for the course, nowadays. However, once someone drops the "gazing into her soul" drek, that's where I just drop my red pen and walk away.

CUSTOMER: Um, this movie doesn't work.
ME: Is there something wrong with the disc?
CUSTOMER: Noβ¦THIS MOVIE does NOT work!!
Not the Gary Mitchell we want...
...that's pretty much it.
I've done comedy on-stage. It ain't easy to pull off a deadpan/straight-man performanceβ¦especially when dealing with something so absurdβ¦so, good on them! π€π
If one wants to revel in the "Die Hard is a Christmas Movie" groove, check out "Violent Night"! No doubt where they fall on the issue! π€£
