Still waiting for Episode 2

Explanation: (T)Raumschiff Surprise is a german sci fi parody movie by a popular (in Germany) comedian troupe from 2004. It mostly mocks Star Trek and Star Wars but also incorporates nods to other popular sci fi media (for example, the Han Solo-like Rock Fertig Aus (Til Schweiger) pilots a flying yellow cab).

Bully made a lot of movies playing stereotypically gay characters for a straight guy.

The best storytellers draw from what they know, they say.

That iz the problem with you Americans..

Smokes half a cigarette in one puff

You are addicted to pain.

For real tho, is this movie any good? I love cheesy scifi and Mark was like the best part of SlC Punk. I didn't know he's been in so many things till I checked imdb to see if it was the same guy.

No, it's not. While there are some funny moments (especially the allusions to different movies, but many are to german productions), most of its humor is derived from over the top stereotypes about gays (think Cam and the gay community from Modern Family but turned to eleven). That was funny to pre teen me when the movie first came out, but lost a lot ever since.
It's cringe more than cheese.
