Crass behaviors stay too long at the party.

“Incoming” is a teen comedy that wants to follow a tradition of high school students hazing the incoming freshmen. Not how Ben Affleck and Parker Posey displayed it in Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused,” but more in the “High school will eat you alive,” punching teens in the stomach, having a mother with a jerky boyfriend, and the obligatory F-bomb sense.

Or maybe it wants to focus on the freshman wanting to make their first year of high school exciting. You know. The losing their virginity sense. It wants to have Benji (Mason Thames, who was brilliant in “The Black Phone”) scoring with the sophomore Bailey (Isabella Ferreira), Danah (Bardia Seiri) having his brother stop punching him whenever he goes by his TikTok name “Koosh,” Connor (Raphael Alejandro) looking for a chance to have the bullies stop calling him “Fetus,” and Eddie (Ramon Reed) learning to take risks.

As a matter of fact, now that “Incoming” is following on both sides of the equation, I have no idea what it wants to accomplish. My guess is to cater to the raunchy comedy audience who seem to like vulgarity. I’m agitated that “Jackpot” was popular on Amazon Prime Video so far, despite the fact that it had no redeeming qualities, but I’m also relieved that there are those who agreed with me that “Strays” overdosed on the vulgarity.

Raunchy comedies can still be brilliant in this generation, as demonstrated wisely in the under-appreciated “Joy Ride” and “Booksmart,” but as long as they’re given heart and humor in ways that we can really identify with the characters.

“Incoming” seems to be into the vulgarity and gives half the characters their redeeming qualities (more so than “Jackpot” did last week), but they’re not as appealing or funny as the movie thinks they are. In fact, they’re exhausting, especially when Thomas Barbusca (“Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life,” “Luckiest Girl Alive”) has to play a jerky carpool driver and drug dealer. I don’t know what the principal (Kim Hawthorne) was thinking giving that driving to him as punishment. She might be dumber than the screenplay itself.

I’ve gotten a few laughs every now and then. I think it’s funny when Danah interrupts Benji’s story, how Connor and Eddie react to a drunk girl crapping herself in the car they borrow. And the aftermath of the science teacher (Bobby Cannavale) engaging himself in the party antics looks nuts. Those are the only times I laughed; the rest have crass jokes that aren’t worthy of Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, or Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

Now there also have been comedies to rip off “Superbad” with “College” being lousy and “Booksmart” being “smart. “Incoming” isn’t as lousy as “College,” but it’s also neither as super as “Superbad” nor as smart as “Booksmart.” In fact, it’s your average run-of-the-mill teen party movie, which doesn’t distinguish itself and relies on the behaviors for comedy gold.

Thames has already proven himself to be a likable young actor with “The Black Phone.” He doesn’t need to jumpstart his movie career with “Incoming.” Especially when he practices kissing with his door, and his older sister (Ali Gallo) comes barging in. And Cannavale was great earlier this year in “Ezra,” but he’s mediocre here. It could be worse. They could appear in another “Binge” sequel.
