Southland Tales is awesome and speaking of The Rock, I also like Pain and Gain. At least glancing at RT, Metacritic and IMDB user data it's not hated, but I've never met another irl person that liked it. At least some of the people I've talked to went in blind thinking it was some The Rock/Marky Mark buddy comedy...which it kind of is, but got dark enough one couple I know walked out (lmao, what?).

I'm sure it's been mentioned before ITT, but another comedy that's objectively bad but I love, is Freddy Got Fingered. I don't know if there's any truth to the idea that it was Tom Green's big 'gently caress you' to Hollywood for being dumb enough to platform him, or if he was just having fun with it. But it sure is vulgar and has almost no rhyme or reason to it. He's a 28-year-old man who lives at home with his parents and has a half pipe in their driveway, yet he wins their affections (initially) over his more squared-away younger brother. There's no real way to ask this without being insensitive, but was he supposed to have a developmental disability, was this left on the editing room floor? I don't recall it being to heavy-handed with slurs but it was from the right (wrong) era of MTV comedies.

All I know is it sure is funny, and very quotable. I've said to security guards before, "It's OK, I'm here with a bag?" And certain friends and I will do back-and-forth Rip Torn impresions; "PROUD?" "PROUD." The animations, from the Ren & Stimpy-esque 'Zebras in America' to the stills the movie opens on, are also hilarious.

"I SAY 'HELSINKI', YOU HEAR 'GENEVA'?!?! YOU'RE FIRED, BOB! CLEAN OUT YOUR LOCKER AT THE CLUB BECAUSE YOU'RE FIRED!!!"

Where's your LeBaron, Freddy? don't see two LeBarons.
