Filmmakers Peter and Bobby Farrelly

The two brothers have become practically the brand name for bad taste. Their movies Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, There's Something About Mary and Shallow Hall, plumbed new depths of tastelessness. But their fans love the films, and despite their gross-out humor, the Farrellys seem to create characters that audiences care about.
