That scene brought down nearly everyone in my audience. I don't think any other part received as much silence.
Yeah, that was the same reaction when I saw it. It was like "Oh, wait, he's making fun of us too", but it fit with the movie, I suppose.
I did find the "gypsy" scene amusing. Also, the two of them throwing money at the cockroachs nearly had me in tears.
I thought the rodeo scence would have made pepole realize the film was in part a satire of America. I was the only person around me who laughed at the frat kids statement. I also think I was sitting next to a few Jews, they had a weird vibe whenever there was a Jew joke.
