->''"It really shows how stunningly lazy the so-called writing is on this movie when they're stealing a joke from the very movie they're supposedly satirising! Shameless! Simply shameless!"''

->''"...[[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Schwarzenegger]] movies already verge on self-parody. So a Schwarzenegger spoof seems redundant. The novelty of Schwarzenegger parodying his tough-guy image is undermined by the fact that Schwarzenegger spoofs his tough-guy image in pretty much every movie he makes."''

->''"This was supposed to be all mine! The cereal, the crappy friends, the word-for-word Film/BoogieNights parody, if you can call lazy plagiarism a parody!"''
-->-- '''Toot Braunstein''', ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''

->''"It's hard to satirize a satire. That's what "[[Film/LoadedWeapon1 National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1]]" wants to do, but the target proves elusive. This is a would-be comedy that's not as funny (nor as satirical) as the [[Film/LethalWeapon movies that inspired it.]] If you look back at the successful laffaminit send-ups, from "Film/{{Airplane}}" through "Film/TopSecret" to "Film/TheNakedGun," you'll see that their targets are movies that take themselves fairly seriously. Here the target is already in on the joke."''

->''"That's the danger with satire: To ridicule something, you have to show it, and if what you're attacking is a potent enough image, the image retains its negative power no matter what you want to say about it."''

->''"You can't take the piss out of something that is itself taking the piss, this isn't a fucking bucket chain! Nor can one be crass about something that's already deliberately crass, it's like trying to embarrass a poo by making it wear another little poo as a hat."''
