Jokes My Folks Never Told Me

About This Movie

So, 'Jokes My Folks Never Told Me' is this 1978 comedy that’s really just a collection of one-liners and skits, heavily leaning on anatomical humor. It’s not exactly groundbreaking, but there’s a certain charm to its unabashedly racy approach. The pacing is, well, a bit erratic, jumping from one joke to another in a way that feels like a non-stop laugh track of sorts. And yeah, there’s an abundance of buxom ladies, which really underscores the era’s view on humor. It’s one of those films that you either find amusing or cringe-worthy, depending on your taste. Still, it’s got its quirks that make it a curious watch if you're digging through the comedic landscape of the late '70s.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in terms of home media releases, having seen limited circulation on VHS and rare DVD copies. Its cult status, mainly due to its outrageous content, draws a niche audience among collectors who appreciate this kind of offbeat comedy. While not widely sought after, it has found a place in discussions about the more risqué segments of 70s cinema, making it an interesting piece for those diving deeper into the genre.
