Line #25 YMMV/TheHumanCentipede


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: Dr. Heiter getting shot in the head by a cop.
2	* 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.
3	* 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".
4	%%Do not add Complete Monster entries without approval from https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6vic3f9h1cy5qivsenw8llok&page=1
5	* DancingBear: Some people don't care about the quality of the movie, only how ridiculous it is. Felix Clay in ''Website/{{Cracked}}'''s [[https://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."
6	* 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. Notably, Creator/RogerEbert [[BrokeTheRatingScale refused to rate the first film]], as it was too far out of his experience for him to assign stars to it, but he ''did'' give ''Full Sequence'' zero stars.
7	* LesYay: Lindsay and Jenny care for each other intensely, to the extent that Lindsay stops to drag Jenny with her rather than leaving her behind. Jenny's last action is to hold Lindsay's hand as she dies. Lindsay was able to somewhat keep it together until then, but she starts sobbing with grief incredibly intensely after Jenny is dead. It could be read as a lesbian relationship, or at least them having crushes.
8	* MemeticMutation:
9	** 100% medically accurate.
10	** Series/Tosh0 has turned "Rohyphnol. Rape drug." into a RunningGag.
11	** There are probably more parodies of these movies than people who have actually seen them (neither film managed a wide release and only played at midnight).
12	* MoralEventHorizon: Dr. Heiter creating the Human Centipede, obviously.
13	** Martin trying to create an even bigger centipede.
14	** Dwight for suggesting the longest centipede ever. Bill was already too far into the horizon once he decided to put it into motion...
15	* {{Narm}}: Large sections of this film have some '''very''' bad acting.
16	** "YOU! Are the... MIDDLE piiiiece!"
17	** "Shit! I have to shit. I'm sorry... please forgive me..." Of course, there isn't much else he could say in this situation.
18	** "I'm, a sick man! [[EvilLaugh Hahahahaha!]]"
19	** [[LargeHam "IF YOU DO NOT OPEN UP IMMEDIATELY I WILL... CCCCCCCCCCCCCCAHT YOUR KNEES AND PULL YOUR TEETH OUT ONE BY ONE WITHOUT ANY ANESTHETIC!"]]
20	** [[ChewingTheScenery "FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED HEEEEEEEEEEEEEER, FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER."]]
21	** Katsuro's ridiculously poetic threat to Heiter: "The Japanese possess unbelievable strength when backed into a corner!"
22	** Heiter's ''really'' pathetic attempt to mimic chicken clucking.
23	** "SWAAAAAAAAAAALLOW IT, BITCH!!"
24	** 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, didn't it?]]
25	** The last 20 minutes or so of the sequel zigzags between this and {{Squick}}. It's really hard ''not'' to laugh when you see [[spoiler:all the victims sewn together because you know this is ridiculous.]] But at the same time, it's really hard ''not'' to gag [[spoiler:when they all shit in each other's mouths]]. But then Martin pukes afterwards, and the next thing you know, you're laughing again. But then [[spoiler:the pregnant woman turns out to be NotQuiteDead, gives birth in a car, and ''crushes her baby's head underneath the gas pedal.'']] Start gagging again. ''[[RunningGag But THEN]]'' [[spoiler:Yennie hits Martin in the balls, and shoves a centipede up his ass while he pathetically whines]]. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Start laughing again]].
26	* NarmCharm:
27	** 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.
28	** Dr. Heiter's LargeHam tendencies -- as cheesy as they are -- really do convey that Heiter is beyond listening to reason and raving mad.
29	* 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 Website/TheOtherWiki (on Halloween, to be more appropriate!).
30	* NightmareRetardant: Although the premise is really NightmareFuel, the absolutely [[{{Narm}} narmful]] acting and the efforts made to make fun of the film make it nearly impossible to take it seriously anymore. Perhaps it really ''is'' scarier if you don't see the movie.
31	** The fic by Creator/HansVonHozel, in which the centipede [[spoiler: enters the Crufts dog show. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And wins.]]]]
32	** ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' made an episode parodying this movie called "[[Recap/SouthParkS15E1HumancentiPad [=HumancentiPad=]]]".
33	** The premise itself is too stupid for some people to actually care about it, and it's seen as an over the top parody of BodyHorror movies.
34	** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXvcJOaoISo this]].
35	** To say nothing of Creator/DieterLaser's [[LargeHam incredible scenery-chewing abilities.]]
36	** Let WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL5iFP5XegY kill any potential nightmare fuel]].
37	** Assuming Hans von Hozel wasn't enough, Creator/SueMary's ''FanFic/TheHuemnCeniped2TheHumenMilipede'' will probably allay any remaining fears.
38	** You know what's also NightmareRetardant? Knowing that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-JlevnccDk&feature=related a Mickey Mouse villain]], WesternAnimation/TheMadDoctor, [[OlderThanTheyThink did it before]].
39	* {{Squick}}:
40	** Oh Lord, where to begin... How about the part where Lindsay [[spoiler:is forced to eat Katsuro's poo]], for starters?
41	** You'll need even more BrainBleach for the sequel.
42	** And ''more than that'' for the third movie, which Six said "makes the sequel look like a ''Disney'' movie". ([[http://www.vulture.com/2015/05/review-the-human-centipede-3-final-sequence.html a review]] even follows a description of the VillainProtagonist with "Here, I’ll start a new paragraph so that you can take a break to go throw up.")
43	* TooBleakStoppedCaring: 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.
44	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: [[http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv324/immortalpictures/humancentipede.jpg Kids love it, apparently!]]
