Review of The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) by Scott B — 06 Jun 2011
A bit overrated, but still funny. Kentucky Fried Movie is basically Saturday Night Live with no censors (as it states on the VHS box) and just like SNL, some skits are very boring and not funny, but when there is a funny one, it'll have your stomach hurting from laughter.
My favorite was the "Feel-O-Rama" skit, and I also enjoyed the "Zinc Oxide" skit. The last episode was also very, very funny. The longest segment, entitled "A Fistful of Yen" is pretty funny, but not as funny as it needs to be in its extended running time.
The random "Film at 11" segments which just popped up here and there were pretty humorous in their randomness. KFM opens up with one, and it catches you completely off-guard. However, most of the other skits fall flat.
The "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" was just explicit and not funny. The "Willer Time" commercial wasn't funny either. Other than a few rotten eggs, Kentucky Fried Movie is very funny, even if it's not as good as Airplane! or The Naked Gun.
