Oh it is disturbing. But it's the absurdity that makes it very darkly funny. That's why TCM works so well, for me at least. I think it exposes something about us the viewer that deep down we are amused.
Given the sequel is supposed to be more comedic I actually didn't find it funny at all. Or disturbing. Just kind of meh.
