Amusing if uneven collection of dirty jokes
gridoon20241 September 2019
This movie couldn't get made, or at least released in theaters, today: it has plenty of nudity (including an incredible older woman who must have had the best body in the film!) and a refreshingly politically-incorrect sense of humor (it's not above gay, rape, and bestiality jokes). Some of the skits score and made me laugh; others are duds and left me in a state of baffled silence. On balance, it's an amusing way to pass 80 minutes - but only for adults who are not easily offended. ** out of 4.

From the back of the orchestra to the balcony...

Warning: Spoilers
Boobs, buns and bush. That's the extent of the nudity in this collection of sex jokes via a series of sketches, some of which are very funny, others really stupid and a few offensive by any standards. One involving a nude woman tied to a tree in the park is beyond any kind of taste, and that's even from a time before political correctness. But an obviously gay bridegroom and his bride discussing "teeth" is hysterical. These quickies are basically an R version of "Laugh In", and you even get to hear a bit of that comedy sketch shows musical theme in one moment. Speaking of musical moments, there's a series of odd production numbers choreographed by singer/actor Keefe Brasselle who appeared in several movie musicals, most notably playing Eddie Cantor.

Not all the jokes and sketches are sexual in nature, and a few are genius, especially the grandmother who ensures a ride for her granddaughter by making sure the man who drives her to Fresno won't take advantage of her. At 80 minutes, this is a combination of juvenile humor and a few truly hysterical moments. But then something outlandishly offensive and out of bounds shows up which keeps this from even becoming a memorable cult film. At 80 minutes, it often seems like it's going on far too long, like some of the ideas are being repeated in different ways. Fortunately the musical numbers at a little bit of spark, but other than that, it's pretty forgettable overall.

I didn't quite make me blind, but it was a decent attempt
MikeHunt107510 August 2023
Thank you to Tubi for recommending this unexpected little tucked away gem. I love parody and slap stick goofball comedies, and sure, there are a LOT of stinkers out there. But this one has its moments of its share of laughs.

It's not quite up there with the likes of Kentucky Fried Movie, but it is about on par with Loose Shoes if you're familiar with those classics.

As I said, it's hit and miss with a few of the sketches and gags, but it still manages to hit enough targets to tilt the scales to a thumbs up by the end.

As long as you have a low brow sense of humour for dirty sex jokes and toilet humour, this one's worth checking out.

Funny in Person - Straight from the '70s!
pimp4u1 May 2007
All the old ribald jokes you've heard get acted out in hilarious situations by funny comedians. A new twist is put on every old joke, livening them up for the moment the climax jumps out and slaps you right in the face.

One after another, never a pause, they just keep hitting throughout the whole movie. I saw this when I was a teenager with my girlfriend Mary. Now I realize why we ended up getting married.

Plenty of sexy scenes included, too. Mostly boobs. The women in the movie are typically 70's girls, and I love it! It was such a great age, when women TRIED to be pretty. Sexy tight jeans, halter tops, high heels, they got it all!

Seriously, it's really worth a look (if you can find it). The sketches were all well-written by people who have a finger on comedy and what the audience likes. Give it a try. "Try it, you'll like it!"

Trite and tedious offering, Sophomoric drek.
babbo77773 April 2006
I saw this film in 1976 and was very disappointed.Of all of the most ribald yet, low- level comedic films of the 70's("The Groove tube"."Tunnel Vision" and "What do you say to a naked lady?")this film was by far, the most wretched.It was basically a series of stale,re-cycled jokes featuring ethnic stereotypes, frat-house styled sexual innuendo, and forgettable one liners.All of this topped off by poor direction and third-rate acting.The film finds itself cast adrift in a sea of bewilderment:Are they trying to display sequential "stand up" comedy or showcase a series of funny sketches, with satiric and sexual overtones? Unfortunately, the film achieves neither objective. If you appreciate the humor of Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Woody Allen, or Groucho Marx, you'll detest this film. Steve D--Updated review-July 2012:I recently purchased the DVD on Amazon, and saw the film again,after 36 years.Let me tell you, I had forgotten how vile and vulgar the language was, in addition to the "nudie-cutie" elements.I counted 2 "almost chuckles" in a film with at least 60 alleged "joke-lines". I'm sure Keefe Brasselle rued the day he agreed to do his cameo "number".I hate to be negative but this film really was putrid!

every sex joke in the book
ruthann-renaud26 August 2009
I saw this movie in 1977 when I was only 23. I sat through it because it was part of a double feature and I really wanted to see the other movie. This movie has every sex joke in the book (or so it seems) and at the risk of being blackballed as a spoiler I won't tell you any...you'll have to find the movie and see it. Once seen, the finale is not to be forgotten. Keefe Brasselle was a journeyman song and dance man as well as an entertainment executive and novelist. This is not for every taste but, if seen, you'll be repeating every joke in the movie to your friends and coworkers. Another commentator was right...Uschi Digard is certainly a screen presence to be remembered. The sequel "Can I Do it Till I Need Glasses?" got some publicity when it featured Robin Williams for all of about five minutes (if that long). The two films should be seen together for full impact.

Arguably, the funniest movie I have ever seen!
Joff-318 August 1999
I describe this movie as "Every off-color joke you have ever heard, and a whole bunch more that you have never even imagined:all acted out in no particular order". This movie keeps you off balance all the time. The only thing that remains constant is that whatever comes next is going to make you laugh again / more. I saw this movie when it opened in 1976, and still remember some of the sketches in it. When I tell others about them, it always gets a good hearty laugh going. If I could find a reasonably priced copy of this film on tape, you can bet both legs you'd find it in my personal collection.

Rating? This movie is still at the top of my "Top 10 must-see comedies"

Really bad jokes with gratuitous nudity.
travinitrav14 April 2013
As others have already stated, its just a collection of rotten jokes (most with a sexual theme) that were already stale and outdated when this was made in 1975. I guess they figured it would be entertaining if it had nude women and men throughout, which I think it does. The jokes aren't funny in the 21st century and I doubt most of them got laughs in the 20th century but sometimes bad humor can be amusing if you enjoy the cheese factor. The nudity is there for the sake of nudity, it neither helps nor hinders the jokes.

Watch it for the 70's nostalgia or if you like bad movies, but its not high quality entertainment.

Wickedly funny!
$TEVE McD4 April 2000
An hilarious sketch-style comedy in the style of Carry On,featuring profane old ladies,impotent men,gay cowboys,sex contests,extremely unfaithful husbands and wives and just about anything else to do with sex imaginable.

The film's highlight is the gorgeous Swedish model Uschi Digard,who somehow manages to get unclothed in every single sketch she stars in,like her husband coming home to find her in bed with another woman,and being a contestant in a sex contest where a guy must 'pop' as many girls as he can on a large bed in front of a huge audience in order to win big bucks.

Every sketch will have you laughing,especially the one with the drunk guy mistaking a tuba for a "large golden tuba".

Childhood memories can be deceiving
Johnnywad21 July 2003
I searched all over my city looking for this movie, I finally found a copy at a video store on the other end of the city. This video store was organized by sadists! It was supposed to be sorted by alphabetical order, the movies were shelved like books would be, spine showing. There were 4 different shelves with the letter I on them, and I searched them all before giving up. I was determined to watch this movie though, as I enjoyed it so much when I was twelve. I finally found it when I returned a few days later with a friend to help me in my quest. I now have a new mission in life and that is to invent a method of time travelling so I can go back in time and kick my own ass. This was horrible, at only 80 minutes long it was 77 minutes longer than it need to be. Its a collection of old Jokes acted out and with the exception of maybe 3 they are the worst jokes ever!!!! Avoid this if you have any taste whatsoever.
