I don't think it could possibly work because we don't have the cast of serious people. That actress was only cast because she was the wholesome mother on Leave it to Beaver, which today would be equivalent to a Hallmark Channel sitcom instead of primetime TV. It isn't subversive if nobody knows who she's subverting. Daniel Day-Lewis and Joaquin Phoenix are the only two actors I can think of who are only noted for serious deadpan performances in the way that made Leslie Nielsen and some of the other actors so good.
i don't know, it just needs to be someone out of touch with internet culture for it to subvert expectations.
anyway, the reboot is sure to be awful. ai-rplane, with an ai-generated leslie nielsen making a cameo in place of the inflatable autopilot.
They pulled it off with Naked Gun which was astonishing to me as a millenial/gen x cusp person.
