Solo, you are not playing the game correctly. You can't just pick good bad movies, you have to pick solid to good movies (preference on underrated) with just enough credibility to troll effectively.

Kit's Agent: This is a great script! Look, it's not Shakespeare, but it...
Kit: Hey, what did you just say?
Agent: I said, 'it's not Shakespeare'...
Kit: 'It's not Shake... ', 'It's not Shake... ' (to Freddy) Do you hear what he's doing?
Freddy: I know he's doing something, I just can't put my finger on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah... What's he doing?
Kit: Shakespeare, Freddy, Shakespeare!
Freddy: Shakespeare?
Kit: Shake a spear! Spearchucker! I'm a spearchucker now!

but there's just so much great stuff

I'd like to gently suggest Death at a Funeral also by Mr Oz. I loved it.

Agreed.

Also coincidentally, the last time either Steve Martin or Eddie Murphy were funny/had integrity.

Martin's kind of snooty about physical comedy. In his mind, he's probably taken Peter Seller's mantle and is now showing off his mastery of the craft.
