Zucker-Abrahams-and-Zucker-esque
Films and shows (and one game) that are similar in style to the works of Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker (or at least try to be), but have no involvement from Zucker, Abrahams, or Zucker. These are generally wacky parodies with a lot of visual gags. Leslie Nielsen stars in 6 of them. I'm not including Mel Brooks films despite many of them fitting that description, because he predates ZAZ.
