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.

Get the Quirkedy mug.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.
