Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar is an underappreciated opus of absurdist humor

I'm not sure why this movie doesn't get more love, it's probably the funniest thing to come out in years. Between the Glee break-ins, the Samuel L Jackson crab cameo, the Trish payoff and so many more things that just happen as if they're not batshit insane, it's just brilliant in the way it manages to string a bunch of random non-sequiturs together into what loosely resembles a plot. The characters are hilarious caricatures of midwestern middle-aged under-educated white ladies thrust into the plot of a super villain (who introduces herself by slowly and evilly mixing a suicide (yes the one you're thinking of lmao) desperate for revenge on Vista Del Mar because they let an alligator eat her best friend. Describing anything about this movie makes you sound like you just ate a bunch of mushrooms and had an awesome hallucination. In fact, that's what I thought happened because I did eat mushrooms before watching this and had to watch the entire movie again a few days later because I thought I had. And having just rewatched it, it's the most absurdly hilarious thing since the first Achorman.
