I'm looking for a comedy in which the protagonist is DEFINITELY straight and is preferably played by a forgettable mediocre actor and by some twist of fate he winds up in a social situation with a lot of GAY MEN and he gets HIT ON, but it can't portray gay people as humans, the movie has to make clear that they are all vile pervert scum.

Do you think maybe that Sony hacked itself to truss up this whole North Korean cyberterrorist crap so it would actually make money off of the interview which would have otherwise been a flop? I think so.

Paid $30+ bucks to sit in a dark room with friends, eat lovely popcorn, gulp down 24oz of corn sugar water and watch Seth Rogen fart in all our faces

Yeah pretty much, unlike a bad horror/action/Kung fu/thriller/whatever movie a bad comedy can't really loop around and become great due to failing at the core competencies of the genre it represents

99% of movies that are comedies are beyond terrible and deserve to fail

agreed

It's like: Holy Grail and Dr. Strangelove already got made. What are you gonna do now?



Really though, what those 99% of comedies lack is subtlety. Verbal slapstick gets old in one minute.

But that has Cuba Gooding in it, any film with him defaults as lovely viewing with other people anyway.

What was the last good comedy movie really

I think the newest comedy I would say I enjoy was the original dumb and dumber and that was 20 years ago. Hot Fuzz is great but I don't think of it as a comedy first and foremost

Tv/internet/podcast/stage shows do comedy far better than film can ever hope to, filling 90+ minutes and hoping it doesn't overstay its welcome beyond the 20 minute mark is loving hard

STILL TRYING HARD
Bad comedies are the best things to watch with your friends next to really good comedies. It's a really fun time to watch some retarded schlock horror from the 70s with some friends and get wasted and just talk over how bad and silly every scene is. It's free conversation and because it's so bad it gives you time to make up stupid in jokes. Like tonight i watched Mircowave Massacre with my buds and we got like 5 mins into it and just hosed off into the kitchen and drank more. Seriously the first scene is a girl strutting down the street and getting her boobs caught in a construction fence then shaking them around because a guy pinched her arse. And all of this was just to lead into a guy getting a bad sandwich.

riffing on bad movies with friends is fun but it's hard to do when it's a bad comedy
bad action/horror/whatever movies with generous helpings of bad comic relief are doable but not when it's just a bad comedy
