Plots(1)
This series of highly irreverent sketches spoofs standard television fare and pop-culture trends in general. Memorable episodes include "Cleopatra Schwartz," a blaxploitation takeoff that features a sexy black Amazon married to a rabbi; "Zinc Oxide," a spoof on educational films; a "Fistful of Yen," a martial arts masterpiece that stars a Bruce Lee-like hero fighting a massive stream of attackers; as well as the hilarious trailer for "That's Armageddon!" spoofing disaster films, with Donald Sutherland and Bill Bixby playing themselves. Other infamous trailers and commercials include the raunchy "Catholic High School Girls in Real Trouble" and "Scot Free," a board game based on the Kennedy assassinations and murder conspiracies, available from "Barker Bros."
