Paul Verhoeven’s humor isn’t particularly subtle. RoboCop however, works well because the film’s nature demands everything to be so plainly obvious. All of this should be seen as a joke in the face the growing wealth gap, and rampant industrialism that is sweeping the country. It is easy to see the devastation of the dystopian world in detail - the news broadcasts and the explicit goals of businessmen, as well as the absurd advertising. All of it makes (mentioned here) sense when you consider the society's need for "advancement." RoboCop review
