I feel like hail Cesar and death to Stalin were a bit more nuanced comedy, but both decently spoofish. Beerfest felt like it wanted to be a spoof film, but then they enjoyed making it too much.

Deadpool2 would make my list of spoof films, but tries too hard to be original.

If hot fuzz is on the list then at least a couple of the above make the list. Imo hot fuzz is satirical as much as spoof.

Spoofs died in the mid 2000's, they were greatly overproduced, and lost their luster. Kingsmen could be considered a spoof, akin to the spoofs of the mid 2000's, just a terrible movie that seems to be "we can make this genre too, but sillier"
