Marlon Wayans has another spoof movie, and this time he's skewering Fifty Shades of Grey with his parody Fifty Shades of Black

Though it's a Marlon movie, Wayans has often worked with some of his famous brothers, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans, to poke fun at whatever films are popular at the moment.

The Scary Movie franchise, the A Haunted House franchise, Dance Flick, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!, and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood are among the comedies the Wayans family has given us that don't let big budget blockbusters off the hook without a little roasting.

If a certain genre of movie is doing well, you can bet the Wayans have made fun of it at some point.

Though some jokes and references are of a certain time (we've all retired from quoting The Sixth Sense at this point, right?), there are some movie moments the Wayans parodied perfectly.

These gags still hold up.

Like when they reminded us that people in horror films will always make the worst decision possible.

And pointed out how much people should be freaking out in these found footage flicks.

Even the priest knows when it's time to get out.

Sometimes things can escalate quickly...

Like when dance battles get out of hand.

Or action movies take a few too many liberties about people being able to fly and do insane stunts.

Scary Movie reminded us that people will always talk, eat, and make calls during a movie.

And Don't Be a Menace showed us how ridiculous job interviews can be.

If they ask how much you want, answer honestly, right?

Wayans also knows a Kanye West reference will always be timely, since he's never not in the news...

That ballet warmups are for everybody.

And that only the most excited people get interviewed on the local news.
