So, I know the real purpose of this page is \\\"let\\\'s bash Seltzer and Friedberg\\\" (and that\\\'s all well and good) but this example seems to me to be missing the point:
\\\'\\\'\\\"Disaster Movie has a kid using foul language toward Hancock, at which point Hancock slaps him. Not exactly an amusing gag to begin with, but particularly not amusing since something even more hilarious actually happens to such a kid in the real movie. Even worse, this actually appeared in some of the trailers.\\\"\\\'\\\'
That sounds like they\\\'re [[CrossingTheLineTwice reversing the gag back across the line]] of RefugeInAudacity -- that it was a deliberate choice on the basis \\\"having him just slap the kid would be [[BlackComedy darkly funny]] where a MegatonPunch is merely surreally funny\\\". I haven\\\'t seen the film (please don\\\'t make me) so I don\\\'t know if that\\\'s a valid interpretation, but it seems that way from reading this criticism.
(It seems especially unlikely that they wouldn\\\'t have known about a gag that appears in the trailer, since that seems to be what they base ALL their jokes on.)
