This movie couldn't be funnier! It shows life in front of the TV screen. The countless hours one sits in front of the TV set,watching the vast wasteland of TV programming. HBO probably wouldn't show it now, in fear of the Politically Correct Crowd. Let's face it! 23 years ago people didn't have thin skin and could laugh at life. Remember, Ben Franklin said,"All the world is Queer except thee and me -- and sometimes I wonder about Thee"
Granted, the last time I saw this was at a midnight movie in college, but I remember that poor, sad beaver trying to find a tree to eat - it was so funny. You haven't lived till you've seen a guy in a beaver costume dance disco. What I remember about this movie is that there are several funny scenarios that seem separate, but all the plot lines tied up into one and it all made sense at the end. This movie has spoof after spoof - I loved how in the middle of a completely different story, the disco beaver would wander through the scene. Wish I could see it again now that I'm in my 40's - might have a different take on it. If you like Airplane, Top Secret or any Abrams/Zucker movie, you'd probably like this.
i saw this movie right after it came out back in the late 70's. soon after it disappeared and i looked everywhere for a copy of it to no avail. it took me 10 yrs to get a copy thats in pretty good shape. if you like humor then this is a great movie for you to see.
i remember seeing this when i lived with my grandparents, every night for the week if was on super-channel ... i don't remember much about it nearly 25 years later except the HOMO NO MO' part ... i tried not to laugh too loud to wake the folks up, but one night it didn't work ...
to be honest, i had never heard of national lampoon up until that point and that brought a lifetime love of their productions.
and come to think of it, i remember the homosexual Dracula now ... i didn't understand it ... THEN ... two years later i came out of the closet ...
< blush >
that is all.

I still remember when this first came on HBO and looked for it for years in the video store and on the net. Verry funny and a classic for it's time. Also includes an Oingo Boingo song "Martian Girls" which is a triple speed version of the Beach Boys "California Girls" in New Wave form. I highly recommend it if you can get it and would like a copy myself if anyone has one.
