I didn’t get it then.
I still don’t get it now.
a freak show if you ask me...
Have you seen it with a live audience? In full costume?? Who all know their parts by heart???? They're what makes the show.
Literally. It's such a bad movie it was dying until people started going watch it just to heckle it. Then little pockets got together and came up with a standardized dialogue and activities for the audience. It was never anything formal, it just became a craze, something all the "hip" kids did.
With a properly trained and equipped audience (water pistols, rice, flashlights, newspapers, etc), it's hysterical, every time you see it because the audience participation is live and never the same from one "performance" to the next.
If you've only been watching it on video at home to avoid rubbing elbows with all the crossdressers, you haven't really seen it.
