Inappropriate Comedy (stylized as inAPPropriate Comedy) is a 2013 American satirical sketch comedy film directed by Vince Offer. It was released on March 22, 2013.^[2][3]

The film was originally envisioned as a sequel to Offer's previous anthology, The Underground Comedy Movie, and called Underground Comedy 2010.^[4] It is also a partial remake of Offer's previous film, recycling the sketches "Flirty Harry" and "Sushi Mama".

Plot

The framing device has Vince Offer pressing buttons on his tablet computer that open offensive applications.^[5]

Psychology World

A psychologist (Rob Schneider) has a session with a sex-obsessed young woman (Noelle Kenney) who wants to change. She shows him the pills that make her wild. He takes them and passes out on the floor.

Flirty Harry

Flirty Harry (Adrien Brody) is a cop who, with a repertoire of double entendres, patrols the streets of New York.

Blackass

A Jackass spoof, where Vondell (Da'Vone McDonald), Murphay (Calvin Sykes), Swade (Thai Edwards), Darnell (Chalant Phifer), and Acquon (Ashton Jordaan Ruiz) are five African American guys who go about their days causing trouble.

The Porno Review

J.D. (Rob Schneider), Harriet (Michelle Rodriguez), and Bob (Jonathan Spencer) (who spends most of the time masturbating) host an At the Movies-style film review series that showcases pornographic films, including the dubbed Asian film "Sushi Mama" and an homosexual parody of Swan Lake known as Sperm Lake.

Things You'll Never See

A beautiful young woman (Kiersten Hall) dating an old poor man (Anthony Russell).

Above the Grate

Lindsay Lohan stands on an air vent much like Marilyn Monroe's famous scene from The Seven Year Itch while a man (Vince Offer) watches her from underneath.

The Amazing Racist

A spoof of The Amazing Race. Ari Shaffir and his cameraman go around the city showcasing extremely racist and offensive stereotypes against Asians, African Americans, and Jews. It is heavily implied that all of Shaffir's doings were not rehearsed and done to random people on the street.

Cast

Production

Lohan's scenes were shot in 2010 for Underground Comedy 2010, a production that would have mixed newly filmed sketches with sketches from the original 1997 production of The Underground Comedy Movie. The alcohol-detecting ankle monitor she was ordered to wear after she failed to show up for a court hearing is clearly visible as she stands on the street grate.

A trailer for Underground Comedy 2010 was released in August of that year. The project was eventually expanded to a fully new feature film with the production of additional new sketches.^[4] Ari Shaffir's segment mixed footage with unknowing collaborators and staged action, mostly using the same people brought back "to do a little extra so we can build a story or get me some comeuppance".^[6]

The film is directed by Vince Offer, who also directed The Underground Comedy Movie and, between the two films, became better known for his infomercial sales pitches (his best known product being the ShamWow absorbent towel).

Reception

InAPPropriate Comedy has received universally negative reviews by critics, with it being called worse than Movie 43 by Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter.^[7] Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 0%, based on 5 reviews.^[8]

At Metacritic, it holds a score of 1 out of 100, based on 5 reviews.^[9] It is tied with Bio-Dome, The Singing Forest, Chaos, Not Cool, 10 Rules for Sleeping Around and United Passions as the worst reviewed film on their site.

Lohan was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress for her performance in the film (also for Scary Movie 5), but lost to Kim Kardashian for Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.

Box office

The film earned $172,000 from 275 theaters for a location average of $625 in its opening weekend.^[1][10][11]
