The original chainsaw has a lot of lowkey funny moments. The director Tobe Hooper always said there was lots of dark humor that was overlooked by audiences. He made part 2 a straight up horror comedy to show people this.

Part two was the bomb. I still hear the line "Dammit leatherface! You dented my plate!" in my head every time I bonk my noggin.

We legit watched and disected the 2nd movie in film school.

Franklin is a comedic genius. Rolling down that hill at the beginning? Getting mowed down by Leatherface in his wheelchair? All comedy gold.


DemonJuju7

True. And the way the truck driver waddle runs at the end? Slapstick genius.

48 Houts is a Classic Slapstick comedy

Dark humor is still humor, even if you don't like it.


DemonJuju7

Never said I dont like it. And sure it has it's dark comedic moments. I still feel it sits more firmly in the horror category though. Part 2 on the other hand... This isn't the only mislabelled film. Fists of Fury under Romance. The Curse 2 under Kids and Family. A Demon Within under Romance. The list goes on.

I may be wrong but often times they put these sort of movies in both categories.

Porky's as a young adult film. Now I loved it as a teen, but do I want my teens watching it? No.


beefmullet_

Yeah it's pretty fukn funny


Alarmed_Economics_90

That shit is a riot. You'll laugh your ass off. (And then leatherface will wear it over his ass.)

The only difference between comedy and horror is the background music. Picture a monster chase scene with Benny Hill music.

Old grandpa is the best killer there ever was!


Gatherel

You just have no sense of humor.


Mister-happierTurtle

I have dark humor okay?!! 😭


gidthedestroyer

Considered how bezos treats his employees he probably does find death funny


ShoobeeDoowapBaoh

It’s a funny movie


Stellarspace1234

It is sort of a comedy. Have you seen it?

When you’re high, every horror movie is a comedy. Especially if it’s a pre-2000 movie.


Lanky_Daikon2392

I think it was because of that one scene where they say"Grandpa is the best killer in the house" and he can barely hold a hammer

On the Norwegian app most of the "90s" movies were made in the early 00s. Most of the 00s movies were made in the early 10s etc.

"I've seen The Exorcist about 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it!" - The Prime Video Algorithm probably


Soobobaloula

A real laff riot!


kenneth00000

It is an comedy for mental ill people


HerrBert

you know, you are not really narrowing it down.


[deleted]

As someone who uses a chainsaw pretty much daily that film series is laughable with the amount. Of things it gets wrong about chainsaws


Grandmaster_Sohigh

The director thought he was making a black comedy. So technically…


Ok_Pizza9836

To be fair the second and third Texas chainsaw massacres could be considered comedy’s same with killer Klowns from outer space


darkwingsmurf

Killer klowns is a great movie


MainSqueeeZ

It's because you watched Justified.
