Vulgar is about a man who is a children's clown but has not been getting much luck lately. He lives in a cheap apartment which he can't even afford. Bums are constantly sleeping in his run down car and crashing on his lawn. He has a nagging mother who lives in a nursing home, and his best friend is a moocher. One day he comes up with the idea to become a bachelor clown.

Kevin Smith funded this with $250K of Clerks money after watching Johnson's rough cut—he called it 'the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.'
Released in 2002 but barely distributed; it became a VHS legend among 'most disturbing movie' completists alongside Irreversible and A Serbian Film.
