I remember watching this late at night about 8-9 years ago. I wasn’t even sure if it was a real movie, it seemed like some bizarre fever dream 3 years 8 months ago

Keanu Reeves (Ted) went on to great fame. Alex Winter (Bill) made his big follow-up to Bogus Journey, Freaked, which he co-wrote and co-directed, and which effectively put an end to his acting career. The proof seems to be in the pudding. Keanu is also in this, and took in a million dollars to play Ortiz the Dog Boy on the apparently condition he would not be credited (his agent was working over-time). He's one of several recognizable stars that were apparently roped into thinking this was the next Naked Gun or something. It really owes more to the Toxic Avenger. Winter plays a douchey TV star who gets zapped by carnie with goo that mutates people and is put into a freak show. Is it as bad as all that? No. It's got some funny gags, but also some dreadful ones. It's got some wacky animatronics, as well as characters that, surely, are the ancestors of the Minions. It's completely insane at times, but a lot of its comedy is of the MTV/You Can't Do That on Television, mild gross-out sort, or else a throwback to the Three Stooges. It's so bizarre, you can't quite hate it, but it was too stupid to get a laugh out of me. 4 years 8 months ago
