We're at that agree to disagree point if those aren't cheesy, especially if not the lines themselves, then the way those lines were delivered + editing and the surrounding context of those scenes.
You're right, just agree to disagree, because in no reality are those lines cheesy. Whether you personally found Dafoe's delivery of them cheesy, that's a whole other argument. Not one I care to get into either.
We're not equating cheesy to something obscene.
I know. You've been praising it.
Sure enough people will find that clip funny (I certainly did) and be even puzzled without experiencing the context on how that won an Oscar.
I find it funny, too. Crazy can be funny. But funny and cheesy are apples and oranges. Several times I found Heath Ledger's Joker funny, as did many fans, but nobody would describe that performance as cheesy.
Kathy Bates won an Oscar for that role in the movie
Misery because she was so convincing as this obsessed psychotic fan, who holds a writer prisoner in her home and forces him to resurrect her favorite fictional character whom he killed off in one of his novels.
She is so great at being this kooky crazy obsessive psychopath. Brilliant performance. Just like Dafoe was so convincing as this schizo split personally psycho who holds creepy kooky discussions with himself in front of the mirror. Though of course I wouldn't equate Dafoe's performance to the level of brilliance as Kathy Bates' in
Misery. But I made the analogy because she so often acts in a kooky funny manner, that is often even child like;

She's like Dafoe's Goblin in the sense that her psychotic nature produces kooky and sometimes funny behavior. But it's not cheesy.
