Bad comedies are the worst kind of bad movie to me, because with bad drama or action or whatever there can still be be some entertainment value ("The Room", for example). But bad comedy is just painful. And when a bad comedy is based on an unfunny, one-note SNL character(s) at makes it that much more painful.. Something like "A Night at the Roxbury" jumps to mind.
That's something I've always noticed...a movie that fails at being dramatic (or even one that fails at being scary) can often be very funny. "The Room" is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and unintentionally so.
When a movie's primary goal is to make you laugh, but doesn't...then it's fucking useless. It's more pathetic than anything, there's just no entertainment value. Lame jokes, and desperate attempts at gross-out humor make me cringe. Terrible dialogue and trite "drama," that stuff is often very very funny to me. But put that in a bad comedy, and, well...it's often even worse.
