Michael Bully Herbig isnt mainstream. That it is only “gay = funny” is wrong. Yes it is not a complex movie. It falls more in the same categorie that “Naked Gun” falls into. A spoof. A spoof of western, as it is the case here. They are quite similar in humor.
“God awful” it isnt. It won multiple awards and is still cult today. Sounds more like it wasnt your personal taste. In what language did you watch it?
I watched it in German. Did they even bother to translate it?
Bully is definitely mainstream or at least was back then and, sure there are other jokes admittedly (that also weren’t very funny imo). I guess that part just left a particularly bad taste in my mouth. Seeing as Michael Herbig isn’t gay (afaik) it never sat right with me the way gay stereotypes were played for laughs by him. It’s just cheap and unimaginative. Of course humour and taste are subjective, but in my subjective opinion it’s just not funny at all.
