Totally. But I also think similar in a lot of ways.
It’s not American pie raunchy. It’s not Scary Movie parody and I’m really glad they didn’t go that route. It’s going to be totally out there randomness. I kind of wish Andy samberg had some part in it. Seven days in hell seems is super underrated and I think a new interesting spin on the franchise.

It's easy to forget but those movies were just wall to wall one-liners.
I mean every 60 seconds you had another one.
I don't think Neeson can do that.
That said, he's absolutely a nails choice for the role. He's gonna do it as well as anyone possibly could. And frankly, the Naked Gun movies often suffered from NOT giving a joke a second or two to breathe.
There's a real chance this is BETTER than any of the originals.
This might actually kick some serious ass. It'll need to be a little more like the Dragnet movie was though - some actual story in there with the sort of slapstick/dark humor mixed in throughout.
If they manage the tone that, say, 21 Jump Street had -- that could be REALLY good.
I just don't think straight parody will be doable in the way Nielsen did it.
