Gross-out films form a sub-genre of comedy movies in which the producers aim to "gross out" their audience with disgusting and disturbing material, such as sexual or "toilet" humour. Several John Waters films of the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as Pink Flamingos (1972) are considered as the precursors of today's gross-out films. The first "gross out comedy film" released by a major studio was 1978's Animal House, which was also a great success at the box office. Since the 1980s, gross-out comedy films increased in number, and became the norm for comedy films.
