Literally nothing about Napoleon Dynamite was funny. However, I thought it was hilarious to see Tom Cruise dancing in Tropic Thunder, because, A) It's Tom Cruise, and B) It worked for the ridiculous over the top nature of that character. Besides, wouldn't rap and hip hop, where most of the subject matter is get rich or die trying, appeal to that particular character, who is willing to sacrifice everyone else for his own ends?

So are the literally thousands upon thousands of people who find it funny simply wrong and you, yourself, are right?
Come on, didn't you at least get a slight chuckle when Unckle Rico boasted that he could actually throw the ball over the mountains?

Think of this way: when something evidently sucks that hard -- like a gravitational sinkhole, black hole, Spider-Man 3, etc. -- there's still going to be lingering afterimages of captive photons trapped in the event horizon.
So if someone says Spider-Man 3 sucks, that comment will reverberate for years. I still got a translucent image of Jeff Schwartz ripping apart "Hudson Hawk" in my living room from 17 years ago. What I'd give to get rid of that!

I've never seen Spiderman 3 because of that scene. I probably never will.

That reminds me of Ricky Gervais' gyrations on The Office: "I sort of fuse Flashdance with M.C. Hammer shit."

I enjoy it in movies for the most part.
I didn't think the dancing in Napolean Dynamite was funny per se. I thought he was actually pretty damn good.
What strikes me as ridiculous is choreographed out of nowhere dances such as something like She's All That. I can understand if it's the Electric Slide, but where did that all come from?
