The Dark Backward (1991)
Directed by Adam Rifkin
A man pursues stand-up comedy encouraged by his fellow garbage man. Though his friend, who accompanies him on accordion, continues to tell him how great he is, he actually stinks. When the "comedian" grows a third arm out of his back, the friend uses this twist to get him signed up with a sleazy talent agent, and it begins to look like his career is on the move, even though his girlfriend has left him.

What critics compared The Dark Backward to
In addition to Marty's atrocious jokes, we're treated to corpse licking, leisure suits, accordion playing, sex with grossly obese women and a collection of the ugliest human beings this side of the monks in The Name of the Rose .
