production

The Underground Comedy Movie was filmed at Lindsey Studios and Culver Studios from 1996 and was completed in 1997. It was the directorial debut of Vince Offer, who used skits from his 1988 television comedy show in the film. Several skits parody well-known films, including The 7th Year Itch (scenes about Marilyn Monroe) and Dirty Harry (segment "Flirty Harry"). The film constructions are by Wayne Holmes .

The film ran in the US in May 1999 and was later released on DVD. According to the director Vince Offer, around 100,000 DVDs have been sold. In Germany the film was released directly on DVD on October 23, 2006. With Inappropriate Comedy , Offer released a new film in 2013 that revived or varied scenes from The Underground Comedy Movie .

Anna Nicole Smith was originally supposed to play a role in The Underground Comedy Movie , but dropped out on short notice, whereupon she was sued by director Vince Offer. Offer also unsuccessfully sued Twentieth Century Fox as well as Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly in 1998 for allegedly taking over 14 scenes of his film for their comedy Crazy About Mary . In the credits of his film, Offer also stated that both had received a promotional copy of the film in 1997. In June 2004 a lawsuit against Scientology followed ; Offer, who had been a Scientologist since 1982, accused the sect of actively opposing him and the film and of having launched an aggressive campaign against him.

Numerous songs can be heard in the film, including:
