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, with Flirty Harry re-shot with Adrien Brody.

Plot

A tablet computer loaded with offensive applications creates cultural mayhem. Only seven are repeatedly selected.

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, watches the streets of New York. Brody was an uncredited co-writer of the sketch.

Blackass

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 a parody of Swan Lake known as Sperm Lake (which features several gay ballet dancers in place of the girls).

Things You'll Never See

A one-off sketch showing a beautiful young woman (Kiersten Hal) 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 from underneath (Under the Grate).

The Amazing Racist

Ari Shaffer 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 Shaffer's doings were not rehearsed and done to random people on the street. (However, all of them were staged and done in a public area without notification)

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.

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.

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 been widely panned by critics, with it being called worse than Movie 43 by Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter.[5] Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 0%, based on 5 reviews.[6]

At Metacritic, it holds a score of 1, based on 5 reviews.[7]

Lindsay Lohan was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress for her performance in the film.

Box office

The film earned $172,000 from 275 theaters for a location average of $625 in its opening weekend.[1][8][9]
