History Film / TrashHumpers

[[caption-width-right:230:"We choose to live like free people."]]

* SignatureStyle: Just in case you thought Korine had gone soft with ''Film/MisterLonely'', the Squick, GrotesqueGallery and CrapsackWorld traits that Korine's films are known for coming roaring back with a vengeance.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Invoked - according to [[WordOfGod Korine himself]], the title dropped the pretenses of other avant-garde films in order to make it clear for those prone to walking out of film showings early.

* ManChild: The Trash Humpers.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Somehoe outdoes his entire previous filmography in this regard..

* SignatureStyle: For anyone who thought Korine was getting soft with ''Film/MisterLonely'', the Squick, GrotesqueGallery and CrapsackWorld traits that Korine's films are known for coming roaring back with a vengeance.

* SignatureStyle: For anyone who thought Korine was getting soft with ''Film/MisterLonely'', the [[Squick]], [[GrotesqueGallery]] and [[CrapsackWorld]] traits that Korine's films are known for coming roaring back with a vengeance.

* DoingItForTheArt: As an "ode to vandalism."

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Harmony wanted the crowd to know exactly what they were in for.

An independent film, directed by Creator/HarmonyKorine, tells the story of four people wearing elderly people latex masks. These people screw around the neighborhood and do exactly what you think and worse.

Overall very, very disgusting for all viewers who came out of the theatre traumatized by needless vandalism/destruction, casual murder, abuse (baby dolls, [[{{Foreshadowing}} but]]...), and [[spoiler:kidnapping]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: CERTAINLY more than Korine's last feature, the sincere, melancholy ''Film/MisterLonely'', but also more than the already dark & edgy ''Film/{{Gummo}}'' and ''Film/JulienDonkeyBoy''.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Just as ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' was about serpents on an aircraft, ''Trash Humpers'' is about, well...
* FanService: The topless women...
** FanDisservice: The incredibly disgusting scene where the humpers smack the asses of the prostitutes.

* ManChild: All the humpers

* SliceOfLife: Hilariously (after the shock value wears off), the viewers are taken to see the life of the humpers, ending with [[spoiler:a kidnapping of a baby]].

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Reoccurring
* WouldHurtAChild: Baby dolls, yet the dolls are horribly abused in the worst ways possible: asphyxiation (shoved and forcibly shake them), letting the dolls be rolled behind a bicycle, hammered to death, [[spoiler:and a real baby is kidnapped!]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: CERTAINLY more than Korine's last feature, the sincere, melancholy ''Film/MisterLonely'', but also more than the already dark & edgy ''{{Gummo}}'' and ''Film/JulienDonkeyBoy''.

* NoodleIncident: After a load of interference, we get a (badly degraded) recording of children's shoes in a massive puddle of blood--the next scene is of the Trash Humpers waking up hung over.

* SliceOfLife: Hilariously (after the shock value wears off), the viewers are taken to see the life of the humpers, ending with [[spoiler:with a kidnapping of a baby]].

->'''[[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle Kallgren]]:''' "I'd tell this movie to eat my shit, but I'm afraid it might actually be into that."

* AlienLunch: Pancakes dribbled with dishwashing soap...

* DreadfulMusician: The companions who played instruments can't play. Seriously.

* KilledOffForReal: There is a (widely believed to be ''real'') dead body in a ditch and [[spoiler:this also happens to the admirer of the humpers who was reading them a poem earlier]].

* PrecisionFStrike: ''Many''
* SliceOfLife: Hilariously (after the shock value wears off), the viewers are taken to see the life of the humpers, ending with [[spoiler:with a kidnapping of a baby that will no less become a humper]].

* ShirtlessScene: Some shots were from the men the humpers meet (the one playing a trumpet, the guy that sings the rather disturbing song about...private areas...)

** Well, to be fair, it IS supposed to be a Home Movie.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: The admirer of the humpers, wearing a Meido outfit.
