Why isn't there a film that doesn't try to conceal tropes and plot devices,
but instead names them literally?
>character or thing named Red Herring
>character or thing named MacGuffin
>actual Deus Ex Machina
>actual machine called Framing Device
>"maybe i'm crazy but it just sounds crazy enough to work"
>cliffhanger is actually hanging off a cliff
Basically a sarcastic comedy, played straight, for jaded cineastes.
Austin Powers did some of that
I bet you like movies when they look at you through the camera.

Tons of movie have done this. mostly satire and parody movies like Airplane, ZAZ movies in general, Austin Powers etc
Pup named Scooby Doo had a character named Red Herring who was never the actual villian except for one time

22 Jump Street anon
>Rooster's tattoo is a literal red herring
>Tatum's character and Zukerman declare that there is a meet-cute
>Benjamin Hill Library or whatever is visible when they copy Benny Hill
>we got a bigger budget
>do the same thing as before, people liked that
21 JS is way funnier but 22 at least got creative with where they could move the jokes to.

not a film, but I remember there's an episode of the Sam & Max cartoon where they're literally just trying to get "frosted macguffins" snacks the whole episode

Well in Avatar there was Unobtainium if that counts
Because it's not that funny or clever. It would get old after 10 minutes.
And besides that normies would not get most of the jokes.
The one movie that did these jokes right was ''last action hero''

This. OP is fucking retarded.
That sounds like something Mel Brooks would make.
There is no film that takes the concept to 100%
