Summary: You'll Hate it if you're a dope!
Review: If you're in the demographic type that appreciates witty but offensive humor and has a don't give a "F" attitude, then go out and buy it. If you're one of those high brow aspiring "sophisticated" types that have been too indoctrinated by their "liberal arts" class then you'll be disappointed in the style of this movie because it rips on everything you've learned. I read one of the bad reviews where this halfwit said the movie imitates "Kentucky Fried Movie", I like KFM, but Underground Comedy surpasses it in more ways then one. When I read some of the bad reviews it makes me laugh how disturbed they are. I gave Underground 5 stars, but wished I could give it 10 stars for it's disturbance value on some of these pedants.

Summary: Get some Troma instead
Review: Oh, lordy.
I bought this movie after seeing it at Media Play and remembering the late-night commercial. After getting totally into recent Troma movies, I figured this would be a good addition to the "offensive, f'ed up" movie collection. I was wrong. Dead wrong. I'm not even half-way through this movie, just getting to the Dickman skit, and I'm writing this review. Please don't buy this movie.
First of all, I wasn't offended. Granted, it's hard to offend me. But I can't imagine very much in this movie that would offend anyone.
Second, the movie is just not funny. Nothing in this movie is funny. Really. Absolutely nothing. You'll see somewhat graphic violence. You'll see some gratuituous female nudity. You'll see celebrity cameos. You'll see a lot of things that the makers of this movie thought would be funny. But unfortunately, they forgot to write jokes around them. Was anything in this movie even trying to be funny? It's really hard to tell. Ultimately, all you'll really see in this movie is your hard-earned money being flushed down the drain.
Again, please don't make the same mistake I did. Please don't buy this movie. Don't even watch this movie. You might be tempted just because of all the bad reviews you'll read here saying how bad it is. But don't be fooled. This is not "so bad it's good". This is just bad.
In closing, if you're looking for a movie that IS funny AND offensive, I would point you to recent Troma releases such as "Terror Firmer" and "Toxic Avenger 4". Just please don't buy this movie.

Summary: Priceless!
Review: You know, the "reviewers" here are very divided on this movie. Nobody's really wrong or right it's up to your taste.
I read some of the good reviews and the bad and I have to admit, I tend to lean more towards the people who gave it a good review. I almost fell for the bad reviewers spin but I had to see for myself and I'm happy I got the movie.
Crucial: You should do the research and check out the reviewers "history". The last 3 reviewers who rated 1 star for "Undergroudn Comedy movie" also rated Barry Manilow 5 stars, Barbara Streisand 5 stars and Elton John 5 stars.
That should provide you with the profile of the "TYPE" of people who rate Underground Comedy movie 1 star. Too bad, because this movie definitely deserves an overall of 4 stars at the least - especially for the other "TYPE" of people that would love it. To these people I say, don't be fooled by the bad reviews.
The fact that there are real haters should help explain it's cult status and why it's so GOOD! Jackass; Fight Club and even the Matrix (#1) have a myriad of haters when it first came out, probably because it was too edgy at the time but once the mainstream caught on then it was considered "cool".

Summary: Terribly Disappointing
Review: This was one of the most disappointing films I've seem in many years, and I'm very glad I only rented it instead of buying it. Like many of the other reviewers I was suckered into thinking it would be very funny because of the advertising, but virtually every humorous scene is included in the previews. Vince Offer in particular is an absolutely terrible actor and has no comic timing whatsoever. His movie tries to be funny through the use of sex and violence, but sex and violence aren't inherently funny, you need WRITING too. Overall, the project is a terribly flawed attempt to recreate the Zucker brother's "Kentucky Fried Movie" which still manages to be funny and offensive nearly thirty years after it was released. I recommend you go buy it instead.

Summary: horribly horrible
Review: AWEFUL, AWEFUL, AWEFUL
i seen this movie while watching comedy central and the comercial kept popping up and so i ordered it. what did i get? the worst dvd i have ever bought. there is no scene selection which would at least let me skip over the repeating skits (half the movie) they played the couple of half way good skits out to death and i was angry that i had wasted my good money on such trash. don't get me wrong, i love a lot of obscene crazy material, i am an ICP fan and my favorite movies are friday and fight club. but this movie was terrible from beginning to end. i would have given this movie a negative rating if i could just to show how bad it was. they had enough cameo appearances to be able to make some more decent skits, but they repeated the ones they had, barely changing them at all. look at all the other reviewer ratings besides the crackheads who voted 5 stars and you will see to avoid this movie at all costs. IF YOU BUY THIS, YOU WILL BE SORRY AND WANT TO STAMP 'RETURN TO SENDER' ON THE BOX.

Summary: People Actually Liked This?
Review: I am writing this review because I am upset that I paid good money for this and want to prevent other from sharing the same disapointment.If you have seen the commercial for this you may think, as I did, that it looks really funny. Well, you see, that is the brilliance of advertising. 'Undeground' does not deliver anything as promised. It's main promise is that it WILL offend you. This movie is actually not offensive because it tries so hard to be offensive. There is an unnecessary amount of cursing and male (...) that makes it obvious how hard the film makers are trying to get the audience to squerm. 'Underground' is a collection of skits that are supposed to be funny. The supermodels taking a dump is part of a series throughout called "Things you'll never see." It is not really all too funny and neither are the rest. There is another one about a big black (...) virgin who has to turn down an advancing gay man. This skit was actually somewhat humorous; the first time. It recurrs again in the film 2 or 3 times and totally kills the joke. The film also has a "very special apperance" by Slash. I don't need to explain who he is. His apearance, was to say the least, dissapointing. He hosts a "rag lady" competition and just acts like a complete idiot. He firts apears with a bottle of jack daniels so you will know he has been drinking. By the way he is acting it apears that he is pretending to be drunk rather than actually being drunk. It is so dumb. I mean that. Dumb. It is so pathetic how hard this movie tries to push your buttons. It just does not work. For example, in the Godmother skit this guy presents a way to save money by replacing spaghetti meat with aborted fetus'. He has a jar of this nasty looking stuff and slaps some on a plate. haha. When I saw this I was like "am I supposed to get sick or something?" It's like hes holding out the plate and begging you to be sicked by it. Practically begging for your upsetness. This movie has nothing to it other than half-a$$ed atempts at grossing out. Pleas don't buy it. It is not offensive at all because it tries so hard to be so offensive. It just looks sad. I read a review that said people like me who think this movie sucks are basically not good enough to admit that the movie actually is funny and we just don't get it. The reviewer said people like me should just say that the movie is just too much for me and maybe it will be funny to someone else who can handle it. Here this: none of this movie offended me; it is just poorly done. The scene in VanWilder where the dog (...) the danishes and then the guys eat them with dog semen dripping down their chins was funny. It was funny because the movie had more to it. Picture a movie where every scene is basically a re-creation of the dog semen scene. That is what 'Underground' is and it gets really old after a while. Many reviewers say they would give a movie 0 stars if they could. This movie actually deserves the 1. There are some subtle redemable qualities. The skit "Dickman fights lesbians" was hilarious. A big (...)headed super-hero shoots semen to beat lesbians. The skit was not funny enought to redeem any of the rest of the movie. There is also a music video that is a parody of "I love L.A." called "I hate L.A." There are some funny lines in the song but it is overall dumb. I liked the concept of it though. To conlude, this movie did actaully offend me; inadvertantly. I am offended by the review I see with 4-5 stars. Ok, I hate this movie. But even if you find it funny at least give it 3 stars or less becuase it is made so badly. Take into account the predictablility of the skits and the choppy editing. Actually, on second thought, do see this movie. Don't buy it. Rent it or see if someone you know has it. I want you to understand how horrible it is. I want you to feel the hatred towards the revieweres who gave it 5 stars that I do. All of them are examples of why little children should'nt be allowed to write reviews.

Summary: Unbelievably Bad
Review: I am a pretty liberal guy, and I can find humor in just about anything.. I saw the commercials for this movie and got suckered in. This movie is basically a bunch of (...)fart jokes, which is fine, but they arent even FUNNY (...)fart jokes! They are lame (No witty repartee's, no subliminal humor, every joke is spelled out) and _over emphasized_. If you don't know what I mean by "over emphasized", try to imagine Jim Carey snorting a line of coke and making a low-rate movie. Almost all of the characters act like that. Most of the skits I found to be very predictable. Also, I did not know, before watching this movie, that it is actually based on an old cable access show (The Underground Comedy Show, which also failed to impress anyone), and all the skits are remakes from that show. In a last resort to like this movie, I took some drugs (thinking it might be funnier if I had a slower thought process) and watched it again. It still sucked. A friend of mine even fell asleep half way through. The commercials don't lie, it is GUARANTEED to offend, because after you watch it, the price you were tricked into paying for it will offend you. Other than that, I didnt find anything about this movie that would offend anyone with a sense of humor.
