UNCLE FARTS 70’s SLEAZY PICTURE SHOW

Remember those two crazy guys from 1990s animation, Beavis and Butthead? While their stories were plain ole silly, their comments over trendy music videos of the time were downright hilarious. These to nacho munching metal heads would rip apart anything that rocked onscreen. My personal favourite was when the ‘Existence is Punishment’ video from New Orleans Sludge veterans, Crowbar, hit the screen. There was Kirk Windstein in typical intense pose, delivering the painfully morbid lyrics from a doom laden track while one of our two cartoon friends simply declared: "Looks like he’s having a dump!!!"

I must confess I assumed UNCLE FARTS ‘70s SLEAZY PICTURE SHOW would be a Beavis and Butthead meets 1970s porn exercise in tomfoolery!

When you consider the colour cover features a harshly drawn cartoon character (Uncle Fart, no less) along with his Nephew against a backdrop of two colossal breasts with their nipples sensationally censored courtesy of two gaudy yellow stars, what else was I to think?

Well press play on this double disc set and Uncle Fart enters the fray by ushering his animated nephew Scooper into the hushed surroundings of a porno theatre. A few silly one liners start proceedings before a plethora of pornographic shorts and trailers featuring all sorts of taboo laden fantasies trundle onto the screen in all their grainy glory!

I am not saying these actors weren’t into it or were not talented, but let’s just say it’s safe to assume there was no VIAGRA available back then! (Either that or the male leads were too busy snorting the white stuff to be able to sustain a ‘hard on’ for more than a minute!!)

Lady shavers were regrettably at an apparent premium as well it would appear...

But if bushy bodies clumsily banging away to the clichéd ‘BOOM CHIKKA WHAH WHAH’ soundtrack are your thing, you may well find this may save the day on a Stag Night for instance when funds for the Dutch red light district are unavailable. (I have heard Hamburg is pretty good but nothing compares to the value for money our Bulgarian friends provide.... apparently... apparently.)

If nothing else, it’s good hangover fodder!! (Make of that what you will..) When the confession by poor old Uncle Fart that he is incapable of seeing his penis due to his engorged belly, is sandwiched in between some classic 1970s triple X transgressions, you have to admit, the pinnacle of creatively reminiscing about the bizarre world of vintage adult movies has definitely been encapsulated in this double disc set!

There are certainly some star names featured within its run time; Jamie Gillis, Vanessa Del Rio and the horse like Marc Stevens all get their fair share of screen time.

While the clips are obviously dated, nobody can moan about the value for money as the 2 discs weigh in with a hefty 3 hour run time.

So why not dust off that old T-Rex LP pour yourself a Skol beer and remember what it was like before the days of crystal clear mpeg clips downloaded directly to your mobile.... apparently... apparently!!
