Number 2 -- The Ballad of the Monsturd

Pretty funny, could have been better even with the low budget.

Some of the dialog scenes were obviously not shot with the characters being there at the same time, and some were clearly not even shot in the same room. It's especially telling when the white noise shifts in pitch between two characters talking, and a little bit of audio editing with some pirated software could have cleared that up or at least maintained the continuity. The room switching thing was just obnoxiously tacky, and if it was done intentionally as a joke, I think it probably went over most people's heads and just ended up looking like bad production.

On a lighter note, the scene where the shrew of a wife sends the husband down to clean the toilet was the funniest in the movie and actually made my stomach hurt from laughing.
