I wish you would be like other dads and stay home and barbeque

Joysticks (1983)
Chosen by me because I put out a call for inspiration on facebook. This was not actually recommended (christ how could it be?) but someone said Zardoz and I replied with a picture of Starburns from Community in a Zardoz costume and that led me to watching the Koogler trailer from that episode which features a song from this film. So, yeah.

This is actually sexier and funnier than anything in the movie.
 Do these kind of movies even exist anymore? American Pie reinvigorated the form for a while perhaps.
This is one of those films that may have been a staple on HBO programming in the 80s. 
Enough tits to keep anyone interested in that sort of thing awake but with no redeemable aspect what-so-ever.
Like a lot of the nerd comedies at least one of the scenes is basically just sexual assault.
it seems to exist in a strange world where young women pop their tops off in public so they can photograph a poindexter in his boxers. Why? Fuck knows. His being in his boxers is treated as though he was naked and none of it makes sense.
The jokes are essentially non-existent, though a fat guy does eat and fart a lot. That's basically it.
Tits are revealed about every 8 minutes, thought it's mostly the same two actors doing the load bearing work of this film.
Joe Don Baker plays the big bad dad determined to close the video arcade and his daughter is played by Veronica Mars' mom with a very strange valley girl accent that is so bad it's almost avant garde and the only thing of interest in the film.


This is the far superior Koogler
