I maintain that the Seinfeld takeoff on Oliver Stone's JFK is still the funniest parody of a movie by any TV sitcom.

100% agreed. "That must have been one magic loogey!"

D'oh, that was exactly what I was thinking when I saw the thread title. Oh well, I'll third it. That was funny as hell.

Well, there was that Thanksgiving south park where they parodied Braveheart. Wasn't the funniest, but at least I could think of one besides Seinfeld

Not the best but quite possibly the worst was when that Margaret Cho series did a spoof of PULP FICTION with Quentin Tarantino as a guest star. There were a couple of funny moments but most of it was a pretty sad affair.

The Seinfeld on is the only one that really sticks out. Just plain hilarious!!!

The Graduate spoof with Grandpa Simpson was funny too!

It's got to be the Simpsons doing the "27 films about Springfield" episode. Not only does it parody another film's concept, but it parodies other films in it along the way.

A true classic!

I read a Galaxy Quest review that I thought was great and always stuck with me

"Finally, a good Star Trek movie..."

I thought they did a great job with that.
