YMMV / John Waters

• Heartwarming Moments: In his book Carsick, one of his imaginary hitchhiking rides is with his long dead friend Edith Massey, and he gets a chance to see her one last time and say goodbye.
• So Bad, It's Good: Much of his earlier work is funny / relevant because it's made to be utterly un-watchable.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: In the chapter "Sort-Of Famous" in his Autobiography Shock Value: A Tasteful Book About Bad Taste, claimed that he got this very reaction from the audience at a Berlin Film Festival.
