History YMMV / TheHumanCentipede

* FirstInstallmentWins: While the critics weren’t satisfied with the trilogy, ''First Sequence'', the first film in the trilogy, had a better reception than ''Full Sequence'' and ''Final Sequence'', the other two films in the trilogy.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: After the girls get a flat tire, a DirtyOldMan drives by, tell them how bad he wants to fuck them, and then drives off. No doubt they later realize they'd have been better off accepting his offer.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: [[MadScientist As an experiment,]] [[RuleOfThree three people]] [[NightmareFuel are sewn to one another]] [[NauseaFuel as part of a single digestive tract.]] Somehow, this film managed to get sequels, whose respective premise are "The Human Centipede meets MisaimedFandom as a deranged fanboy of the first film repeats the experiment with even less standards" and "The Human Centipede meets MisaimedFandom goes up to eleven as somebody sews 500 people in a human millipede to solve a penitentiary crisis".

** Then there is the actual Human Centipede itself. [[spoiler: It's just three people kneeling with their mouths sewn to their asses. The concept seemed much scarier in your head now, doesn't it?]]

* NauseaFuel: ''[[RunningGag You don't even need to see it]]''. Just READING about it is enough to put you off food. See also how upset people were when [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_163#I.27m_sick the movie became]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Today%27s_featured_article/October_31,_2011 Today's Featured Article]] on Wiki/TheOtherWiki (on Halloween, to be more appropriate!).

** Series/{{Tosh0}} has turned "Rohyphnol. Rape drug." into a RunningGag.

* BileFascination: Don't deny it. You watched these movies just to see how far they would take the concept of "Sew person ass to mouth"

* IdiotPlot: The film starts with two stupid girls happily accepting the hospitality of [[HerrDoktor a doctor who's so creepy]] [[ObviouslyEvil he might as well have slugs in his veins instead of blood]]. Even if they couldn't see that he's obviously evil, as horror protagonists are wont to do, the artwork in his living room would be a huge red flag to a non-moron.

* NarmCharm: The concept of a "human centipede" may seem ridiculous (to say nothing of the hilariously over the top acting), but that doesn't stop the films from being both scary and disgusting, ''especially'' the sequel.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Once it was a trilogy, Felix Clay decided to [[https://www.cracked.com/blog/6-attempts-to-sit-through-worst-trilogy-in-history/ revisit the first and see the sequels]], and found this trope in full force. The unpleasant and nauseating nature (which [[SerialEscalation just kept on rising]]) forced him to take breaks during the follow-ups. Interestingly, all but one of them was in the second.

** ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' made an episode parodying this movie called [="HumanCentiPad"=].

** To say nothing of Dieter Laser's [[LargeHam incredible scenery-chewing abilities.]]

* MemeticMutation: 100% medically accurate.
** The Centipede in general has been parodied almost to this point. A common game on the internet after the film came out was to decide who should be in a real-life version of the Centipede, and what positions they should be in. Centipedes made from [[TheScrappy hated celebrities]] (Music/JustinBieber, Creator/ParisHilton, various Creator/DisneyChannel stars) are among the most commonly proposed.

%%* CrossesTheLineTwice: '''''[[UpToEleven TWENTY-SEVEN TIMES!]]'''''

* DancingBear: Some people don't care about the quality of the movie, only how ridiculous it is. Felix Clay in ''Website/{{Cracked}}'''s [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-horror-mashups-just-crazy-enough-to-be-awesome/ 6 Horror Mashups Just Crazy Enough to Be Awesome]] calls it a "Shlock shock horror movie that was made solely for the sensationalism of saying it was actually made [...] The novelty of this movie ended with the idea of it."

** You know what's also NightmareRetardant? Knowing that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-JlevnccDk&feature=related a Mickey Mouse villain]], The Mad Doctor, [[OlderThanTheyThink did it before]].

* MostAnnoyingSound: As Daniel Tosh and Emer Prevost were saying, the girls' acting is so bad you almost ''want'' them to be sewn into someone's ass so they'd stop talking.

** Yes. There is squick here. Would you like [[SchmuckBait details?]] Oh Lord, where to begin... oh! How about the part where Lindsay [[spoiler:is forced to eat Katsuro's poo?]]

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Frankly, not many people would stand to see a film with a premise as disgusting as sewing people's mouths to other people's anuses.
