Talk:Gross-out film
Bad examples
[edit]The list of examples here is really bad. I've removed a few that were plainly not gross-out films (Bridget Jones' Diary, for example), but I'm sure that many of these I haven't seen aren't really gross-out films either. Can people take a look at this list and cull? - Crenner 07:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. How on earth can anybody list Police Academy as a gross-out comedy. I deleted a few others as well, but there's still some questionable listings. //Sarnath --Ellissound 00:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC) Even Blazing Saddles & Pink Flamingoes are poor examples. The dog shit scene in "Pink Flamingoes " is the ultimate gross out scene, and the film is a comedy, but the dog shit scene wasn't comic, just disgusting. The farting scene in "Blazing Saddles" isn't much of a gross out. Are there other gross out scenes in "Blazing Saddles"? I deleted them as featured examples.
What makes them gross out?
[edit]Meaningless without some scene descriptions.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective?
[edit]How exactly can this movie be classed as Gross-out comedy? What's gross-out about it exactly?--Hibernian 17:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Um... the scene where we find out exactly who Lois Einhorn is? Lemmy12 00:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think that both parts of Ace Ventura fit the bill. Maikel (talk) 09:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
48 Hrs.???
[edit]I'm removing this film from the list. It flat out does not belong. SmartGuy 18:57, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Some questions
[edit]Well.. how is Pink Flamingo gross-out film? Like yeah, its gross, but it isnt much of a comedy, imho.. Also, somebody may add "Dirty Sanchez", because its practically the same as Jackass..:)
THE CAT IN THE HAT?!
[edit]wtf? I'm taking this out.--Ellissound 00:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
No.
[edit]These are not gross out films. The sole purpose of a "gross out" film is to gross the audience out, which most of these movies do not do. I will remove a number of these films which do not qualify.
Just because a movie has a gross scene does not make it a gross movie.
- Gross-out movies are not necessarily gross. Animal House, for instance, is considered to be the archetypical gross-out comedy, and it does not contain any really gross scenes. Maikel (talk) 08:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
List
[edit]I don't see how Wedding Crashers could qualify as a gross-out film; I don't recall any particular gross-out humor in it. In addition, The Aristocrats is a documentary and clearly does not fit the description, despite its subject matter. Friedo (talk) 09:05, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
