Funny Reactions From Other People during Bad Movies

[InformationGeek]

I was watching Cave Dwellers (MST3K verison) with my dad last night and it got up to the point where Ator flew with the hanglider.  I glanced at dad to see what he thought and he looked completely baffled by this.  It sort of looked like his face was saying "WTF?" and it was hilarious.

As that ever happened with your friends or family?  Have you seen a bad movie with them and notice a hiliarous reaction from them during a scene?  Sometimes, it is just gold!

my dad and I once watched LUST IN THE DUST on cable. To my great surprise he loved it. He asked me if I knew of any other movies with "that funny fat gal" (Divine).

The only one at the local video store was FEMALE TROUBLE-

The cost of the rental: Two bucks
The look on his face during the trash dump scene: Priceless!

My friend fell asleep about 7 minutes into DOOMSDAY, amused me quite a bit considering the way that movie tried to present itself as the most action-packed thing ever.

I'm such a horrible friend that I show Manos to all of them.

Generally, my kids sit and stare at me until I turn the movie off.

When I screen films as part of our outreach to the community program, I have the habit of sitting in the audience and about 15 minutes before the film starts, the other projectionist drops the sound and I stand up and talk to the audience, telling them who I am, what I do and what the Archives can do for them.

When I do this, some of their expressions really make me  as they really don't expect a member of the audience to stand up and start chatting to them. One lady in 2007 asked me to sit the hell down because she wanted to see the film.

Two I can think of, in the theater.

John Travolta speaks with the worst Southern accent ever at the beginning of The General's Daughter.  When he started talking like that, a woman in front of me said, "Oh, my GOD."

After the abrupt, horribly s**tty ending to The International, a woman behind me said, "That's it?  You've got to be kidding."  A man on the other side of the theater said, "That was the worst f**king movie I've ever seen."

  There was a lot of incredulous laughter during the part in Splice where Adrian Brody ..ahem..."bonds"...with the mutant, gene-spliced creature thingie(Hey she was hot!) That, and the scene where he tries to teach her to dance were not to be believed. Everyone laughed except one woman who must have been genuinely moved by those scenes because she sighed very loudly at our immaturity.

Preyliens: Alien Predators - I don't remember how but I managed to get my mother to watch this once when she was over for dinner. Most of what I'd shown her in the past was watchable in her opinion so it really got the jump on her. the moment the space bounty hunter, a guy in a paintball helmet and suit carrying a painted neft gun, appeared, her face just lost all emotion.

Fifteen minutes in: "Are those fighting hand puppets?"

I spent the whole time with this not undeserved grin on my face from being able to share my pain with someone else. It backfired at one point when the already dismal Polonian writing fell completely.

"And remember that tree I was by when first you came upon me?"
Mom: "...when first you came upon me? Did they just say that?"

To this day she uses that line against me at the weirdest times.

That happened at the showing I went to! I was p**sed the heck off with them all. Geez, show a little class, I bet they giggle at underwear commercials. Nothing can ruin a movie quite like an audience that doesn't know how to react to it. Like the guy who laughed his butt off during Fracture

Whenever my dad watches MST3K with me, he's stunned that I'm laughing.  He can't believe I get half the 20-year old pop culture references that I do.

Mom + The Polonia Brothers?!?

And I was feeling bad letting my dad watch a John Waters movie!

which part in fracture? I can see laughing at splice because its completely ridiculous. I was more like ick than laughing though. I dont remember any part in fracture that would cause laughing.

whenever my and my mum goes to the New Orleans Worst Film Fest, we sometimes do the vuvevelzla, or whatever that is.

About a decade or so ago, me and my family had some friends staying over. Anyways bored one evening I came across Elvira, Mistress of the Dark on TV and was soon splitting my gut laughing   at all the double entendres when I suddenly noticed all the guests, all women in their 40s and older, giving me strange looks - looks that said how could you possibly find that funny? All they actually had to say though was "Well, she sure is well-endowed, isn't she?"
