Can't believe I forgot Not Another Teen Movie. Here's a little trailer featuring Mia Kirshner's character.

No Dem, Zann's the man My thoughts exactly. Like I say, gross out only works for me if it involves Derek trying to put a piece of his brain back in . . .

I'm pretty much with you on this. I do like a fair bit of the Troma stuff too, though.

Never seen one I've always been warned off it by folk whose opinion I trust . . .

High five (albeit that maybe a greeting commonly found in gross out comedies). Pass the decent comedy to the left hand side. Good thread btw, opinion's clearly divided on this one

Try Combat Shock Jack. That should be right up your alley.

Oh yeah, I own that one (I've got My Neighbor Totoro also ) Maybe I'll take off the factory wrapping tonight. I'm not expecting a barrel of laughs though . . .

Ah, you see that's you first mistake: trusting other people's opinions...

Troma is generally love it or hate it kind of film-making. The most memorable ones are probably the Toxie series and Poultrygeist. However, I personally also really like Terror Firmer, Father's Day, and The Taint (the latter two are non-Troma films distributed by Troma, like Combat Shock).

For cheesy but entertaining rubbish, there is also Rabid Grannies and Redneck Zombies as well as a few others. These tend to be better enjoyed with lots of beer (and optional mates). The bulk of their films (not that I've seen a great deal of them myself) tend to range from mediocre to terrible, though.

The closest to non-horror gross out comedy that I actually like, would probably be Kevin Smith's Clerks films.

Indeed...

Folk tellin' me the films have a smug, snarky sneeriness. That whole 'we know it's shit but we don't care!' vibe always put me off. Can't see me bothering with them any time soon . . .

Used to watch them, but can't stand those comedies anymore. They're full of clichees and yet way too close to real life. Movies like "American Pie" make me sad.
