Trey Parker and Matt Stone's second film before they started South Park. A Mormon (Trey Parker) unwittingly falls into the porn industry and becomes a national sensation as the fake superhero, Orgazmo.

Everybody loves South Park, Team America was genius and Cannibal! The Musical showed that both of them could still be hilarious without being blatantly R-rated. That basically makes Orgazmo the most disappointing comedy I've ever seen.

To be fair, this was probably good, maybe even groundbreaking, for its time and I probably would've loved it when I was 14 but then I liked more than a fair share of crap when I was that age. The plot is also fairly decent. A Mormon in the porn industry seems ripe for comedy. But in the end, I laughed at two jokes only. Choda Dog, a labrador retriever with a dildo on its head, and a rather clever reference to Charles Dickens. Other than that, the jokes were cliche, predictable and surprisingly tame. Honestly, I can't believe this was rated NC-17. There was no nudity except for some male pornstar backsides and none of the sexual dialogue was particularly explicit. None of the humor was bad, per se, but most of it was pretty dull. Not even the superhero angle was exploited enough. Most of it took place in the movie within a movie.

And honestly. Ron Jeremy cameos were cliche before he even made one.

Parker and Stone were good enough in their parts but their parts weren't particularly funny. Honestly, I can't believe they had anything to do with this movie. I also expected way more from Dian Bacher who was hilarious in BASEketball. You'd think Orgazmo's side kick would be the same. Who knows? Maybe these guys were still finding their footing at the time. This was only their second film and Cannibal! The Musical was made while they were still in college... but that one was brilliant. I just don't get it.

My reaction to Orgazmo was most similar (albeit slightly less severe) to when I saw Half Baked again after ten years. Both these guys and Dave Chappelle went on to do infinitely funnier stuff and both of these movies were full of jokes that only Gen X'ers would think are funny because they grew up when they were only just starting to make movies about weed and porn. Now it's all old hat. It's just not enough to have a couple of dildos and slap bass playing in the background.

How about that time you made me watch Brotherhood of the Wolf because it was soooo awesome? haha im just busting your balls buddy

I agree, Orgazmo is kinda lame. South Park and Team America is pure genius and hands down some of the best comedy I've ever had the priveledge to laugh at. But Orgazmo and BASEketball was run of the mill, stereotypical nonsense comedy. I guess some things you do for the paycheck...at least i hope. then again, im sure parker and stone just wanted to do something stupid and fun (theres even a few episodes of south park like this). does it look fun to make? hells yea. is it fun to watch? not really
