Two segments of this early Zucker Brothers comedy stand out for me; A very quick air freshener commercial and a spoof of grade school/junior high school science videos. Most of it, however, lays there, perhaps dated, perhaps overshadowed by classic moments from TV sketch shows, maybe even more overshadowed by what the Zucker Brothers went on to do. The air freshener commercial takes the actual actresses from a commercial that aired at the time, and inserts a tag line that really makes something hit the fan, and the Zink Oxide science video spoof will bring back memories to adults of a certain age who would get this sort of thing in school, or further back, as a movie short when going to the movies meant a lot of extras besides previews, and minus the tons of commercials they've added today.
The other sketches are a mixed bag, mostly the type of bag you use for comfort on an airplane, with a mixture of childish farce, a bit of T&A and the most absurd for me, a Karate movie spoof that ends with the Bruce Lee like actor in drag as a cultural icon in one of her most famous characters is the low point, but I don't see the point of karate films to begin with. What really should get a lower rating from me gets middle of the ground, because it shows the growing genius behind what would go on to create "Airplane!", the "Police Squad" films (later "Naked Gun") and influence other comic writers to give you a "Hellzapoppin'" type pain from laughing so much.
