Blushing Bloopers (2002)

Blushing Bloopers means embarrassing gaffes with colorful language -- so no, these outtakes should not be shown to 10-year-olds and no, they do not merit an R rating. (The Soupy Sales topless dance is hilarious but would earn a PG-13 for "brief nudity.") Also please understand that this collection is not America's Funniest Videos with the Bob Saget comic schtick introducing each snippet. Here we have stream-of-consciousness goofs generally chased by cusswords -- ribald, risque, rapid-fire, and raw bloopers from Abbott & Costello to Ronald Reagan to M*A*S*H and much more. It is a hoot to see and hear Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin ad-libbing their intro to The Caddy but don't expect digital remastering of tossed-off bloopers from the 1940s to the 1970s! The height of hilarity in this collection are Carol Burnett's droopy undercarriage and John-Boy Walton ("That's no reason to hang him by his balls from the Christmas tree!") and Porky the Pig ("Son of a b-b-b-!"). IW. 3 stars.

I already have the Martin & Lewis naughty promo session for "The Caddy" movie on tape and some local out-takes.
