quirkedy 

Film genre combining quirky and comedy. Slightly derogatory. A sub-par film that is intended to be quirky and funny, a la Wes Anderson, John Waters, or Tim Burton, but falls short of its goal. Too cute by half, perhaps. Not to be confused with a dark comedy, which by comparison is fully-realized.

Coined by Adam Carolla, on his daily podcast, May 30, 2012

Mars Attacks
Garden State
The Darjeeling Limited

Counter-example: Heathers is not a quirkedy, because it reaches its intended goal of being weird and funny.

Counter-example 2: Most of Tim Burton's lesser works.

Quirkidies 

A genre of film that is a mix between the surreal and kinda funny. Not a black comedy. Quirky & Comedy combined. Which sometimes results in the film being not that good. Usually has a cult following.

Term created by Adam Carolla, on the Adam Carolla Show, that aired May 30, 2012

Wes Anderson's movie The Darjeeling Limited is a Quirkidie, that is totally overrated, for Bill Murray's character isn't funny.

"Napoleon Dynamite is the king of Quirkidies"

"Lost in Translation is the worst quirkidie"

Anything John Waters creates is a crappy quirkidie

Quirkedy 

A comedic movie which overwhelmingly depends on its "quirky" characters for humor. While occasionally successful, quirkedies often fail due to their painfully self-aware sense of irony. Term coined by Adam Carolla.

"'The Royal Tanenbaums' is a rare example of a good quirkedy."

quirkedy 

A movie that hides behind being quirky instead of actually committing to being a comedy and focusing on the jokes.

Napoleon Dynamite isn't a comedy, it's a quirkedy.
