I like them myself, one of my favorite Troma movies is Citizen Toxie. It's not a movie (nor are any of the others that I'm aware of) that you would want to watch several times a month, and you may even be abit uncomfortable watching it with your Mom... but, for the Horror fan that likes out and out grossness and B to C-movies, you can't beat them.

they were amusing at first (Troma) but like Full Moon - they became stuck in a rut and tried to use their 'manufactured quirkiness' to excuse the shoddy production values.
I think they collapsed in on themselves ..
that kind of quirkiness is only fun when it's not so self aware ..
when its more of an entheusiastic happy accident - it works ..
when it's contrived and shallow - it seems very stale to me ..
