that depends on why you see the film

If you see every single film to fulfill one purpose, then you are right. The purpose of Election was to comment, in a sarcastic way, suburban, middle class public high school education. It was not to educate you about another culture, such as that high school. It was not to provide you insight into an event, such as a war film may attempt to do.

In order to appreciate the humor, you probably have some background. I am sure that you are familiar with engineer jokes that you find funny, because you get the joke, but the rest of us may not understand, and conclude the joke is stupid. All films are not made for all people, just as all jokes are not for all people. It may be you lack of familiarity with the subject matter has caused the humor to elude you. You did find "Office Space" funny, right? I recall that you commented that it was funnier to you because many of the scenes reminded you of your time at Hewlitt-Packard. The same applies here.
