...? Naw, John Waters did this decades ago.

I liked it in "Strictly Ballroom", because there it inhabited a comedy of stereotypes.

In "Australia" it seemed over the top in places for sure, considering the film's overall "epic" ambitions. I guess Baz just couldn't restrain himself from wanting us to see silliness, so he manufactured some?
