‘Scary Movie’ Revives Its Most Iconic “Wassup!” Joke in New Image!

Scary Movie is gearing up for its long-awaited return this summer, and Empire Magazine has shared a brand-new image from the sixth installment in the parody franchise. While previous photos have highlighted returning characters and callbacks to the original films, this latest image is especially notable for longtime fans of the series.

Anyone who saw the original Scary Movie back in 2000 likely remembers one of the film’s most iconic jokes: the parody version of Ghostface smoking weed and repeatedly shouting “Wassup!” back and forth over the phone with his friends – a spoof of the hugely popular Budweiser commercials at the time. The absurd sequence became one of the movie’s biggest crowd-pleasing moments and remains one of the franchise’s most recognizable gags.

Now, the new film appears ready to revive that joke for a modern audience. The latest image teases an updated version of the “Wassup” face, with the character seemingly gaming, livestreaming, and trash-talking kids online in what looks poised to become another standout comedy sequence.

Marlon Wayans (Shorty), Shawn Wayans (Ray), Anna Faris (), and  () reunite in  alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
