About 35 years ago our family went to the Kensington theater in San Diego, which at the time was the local "art" movie house. They showed this before the main movie.
As we began to watch it, all of us immediately figured it out, because we heard the pidgin Swedish and the old man dropping his drawers in the outhouse and nostalgically picking up a dead pigeon. It was just laughable.
But we were the only people who caught on at first. People were turning around and giving us ugly looks and shushing us... it was surreal.
Toward the end, when Inga and Death are playing _badminton_ for her life, everyone else finally figured it out and was laughing along with us, but even the pre-title card - lauding the movie for winning the Golden Escargot - is parody (and funny) if you're paying attention.
