Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe "Pethouse Video" segment was filmed twice. Monique Gabrielle was totally naked for the theatrical, videocassette and DVD versions, but wore lingerie in the television version.
- GoofsWhen Arsenio grabs paper towels off the roll to blot beer from his face, he unrolls a large amount which hangs down to the counter. When he wipes his face, there is only a half-sheet of towel on the roll, then it switches back to several hanging sheets in the next shot.
- Quotes
Rip Taylor: But I do feel for his widow, Bernice. That was a romantic marriage. She learned everything about sex from a manual. Immanuel was their gardener.
- Crazy creditsThe very last credit before the copyright statement is Hi Sean!
- Alternate versionsTelevision versions contain an additional sketch with Dick Miller as a ventriloquist whose dummy is switched with a French-speaking one. There is also an additional sketch featuring Jenny Agutter. Neither of these is found on the video version. The 'Pethouse Video' was completely re shot for television and features Monique Gabrielle walking around in lingerie rather than being naked. The "Bullshit Or Not?" program is retitled "Baloney Or Not?".

Featured review
A Fun Niche Movie!
While most people will think this film is plain silly, which it is, it is really quite fun too.
With a few exceptions, the film is about your typical late night television and the crazy ads that used to permeate the airwaves before all the infomercials started taking over in the 90's. In this film, they make fun of those crazy ads and programming by doing outrageous spoof ads interspersed with an old 1950's B movie with a lot of projection problems.
Any couch potato with a good sense of humor and a memory of the 70's & 80's television programming should enjoy this one! This is why I call it a niche movie.
