Comments on: The new trailer for Movie 43 is very, very funny and not-at-all SFW http://boingboing.net/2012/10/03/movie-43-trailer.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 23 May 2013 02:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: dolo54 http://boingboing.net/2012/10/03/movie-43-trailer.html#comment-1549382 dolo54 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 00:24:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=185235#comment-1549382 Two of my favorite comedies are Grandma's Boy and European Gigolo, so obviously I like lowbrow, broad humor, but this did nothing for me at all.

I'm actually amazed at how, with all that awesome talent, there wasn't a single laugh. The black basketball team shit was so corny. I'm supposed to laugh at that? C'mon!

Nope.  Witless and inane.  And this is coming from a guy who has never seen a turd he hasn't laughed at.  I'm not highbrow.  I liked <i>3,000 Miles to Graceland.</i>  I laughed a few times at <i>Dumb and Dumber</i>.  I don't usually laugh at Farrelly Brothers movies because their substitution of what they think we'll find shocking for things that we'd actually find amusing mostly doesn't work for me (though I still kinda want to see what they did with <i>The Three Stooges</i>, since that movie's trailer was about 85% material done exactly right, IMHO). I enjoyed <i>The Aristocrats</i>, I liked lots of <i>Team America</i>, and my favorite comedian ever was George Carlin, who had a gift for hiding a profound statement on the human condition deep within the smelly confines of an 8-year-old's fart joke.  Nearly anything strikes me as funny.  But man, does this trailer look like an enormous waste of time and money.

I don't think we can fairly tell from the trailer, but if it is anything like <i>Robot Chicken</i> I think I'd find it quite funny indeed. Have you found that wanting as well? No doubt too imma-toor for your refined sensibilities. Wow, so many folks turning up their noses at this because, you know, they have better taste than the rest of us.

As for it being compared to KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, wow, really, that'll keep me away 100%. I scratched my head a time or two in the movie theater when I first saw KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, it bored me. I've seen it several times since then hoping upon hope that yes, I will think it's funny or somewhat amusing this time around. Nope. But I'm the first to admit that spoofs or parodies of material that wasn't that good to begin with leave me cold. And really some of the material in the trailer - the humor is getting real old - come up with some new material please that might actually, I don't know, be funny. It's just a trailer though, they never put the funniest stuff or give away the movie in trailers so I guess I better run out and see this movie because it can only get better while you are sitting in the movie theater drinking your $7 sodas, eating your oil covered puffed air kernels, and choking down your sugary candies. Of course around here they now have pizza, chicken, and specialty coffee drinks to suck away more of your money.. Sounds like $30 solo movie mission of fun and games.

If one misses it explodes into some group banding behind the "this particular comedian must be stopped because they made a joke about a particular subject we find distasteful despite it being in a comedy club that features very blue material". It's both startling common and obnoxious. Hell, they even had that Tosh post here a short while back.
