The only thing that's funny..

Is the people that say that people who don't like this movie "don't get it." What's not to get? It's a parody with way over-the-top gore, nudity, and corny jokes.. nothing new as a Troma film. It's not exactly a "deep" film that you have to "get." I personally love parodies and very, VERY low budget films (especially when it comes to horror), they can be really good if not hilarious.. unfortunately this was not one of them.

If you liked it, hey, whatever floats your boat I guess. But just because someone doesn't like it doesn't mean they don't "get" it.

I haven't really heard that excuse yet. If anything, I read the intent behind "either you get it or you don't" as meaning either you like Troma films or you don't. It's less a matter of missing any subtext and more having an acquired taste for Troma's brand of humor and gore.

Yeah exactly. A lot of people take 'get it' to mean understand something intellectually. But in regards to this movie, it means to like their style/humor or not. I see that happen a lot around here...
