Hot Fuzz is one of the better examples in this thread, because it doesn’t run solely on ribbing buddy cop films. If you’ve never seen a buddy cop film in your life, Hot Fuzz is still a perfectly good comedy with some surprisingly touching moments.
Knowing what it parodies makes it better, of course, but it doesn’t look down at them.
Hot Fuzz is the best buddy cop movie I’ve ever seen.

Why would I fight you? I’ve got your back! Now, let’s go to the Winchester for a pint until this all blows over.
Hahah, such an iconic line
And no one talks about the 3rd film
I honestly couldn’t get into it, I find it less endearing. Maybe should give it a rewatch
I thought it was ok, but not even close to the other two.
