Awful British Sex Comedy: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

During [[The Seventies]], when [[Fan Service|sex and nudity]] in mainstream films were at their height and the boundary between porn and mainstream was blurred, the UK produced a number of low-budget comedies with sexual themes featuring a great deal of nudity and slapstick. Modern viewers almost universally agree that these were flat-out ''awful'' films, but some of them [[So Bad It's Good|enjoy them anyway]].

All the films of this type were cheap, cheerful and cheesy. They also showed considerably more flesh and considerably less morality than modern [[Sex Comedy|sex comedies]]. For example, remember how, at the end of ''[[American Pie]] 2'', our hero turns down the beautiful foreign student who has already [[Fan Service|got her tits out]] and runs off after the band geek whom he has just realised he really loves? Timmy Lea would have shagged the foreign girl, then said , "Ta very much, love. Cheerio!" and ''then'' ran off after the band geek. And the shag would have been on camera.

 

* [[Camp Gay]]: As comedy relief only.

* [[Double Entendre]]

* [[Values Dissonance]]: And not just in sexual matters either. For example, in ''Confessions from a Holiday Camp'', Timmy is working at a camp where the campers are all assigned teams named after the suits in a pack of cards. Timmy approaches a black woman with, "Hello, you're a spade, aren't you?" and the jokes ''get worse'' from there!

* [[Wardrobe Malfunction]]: Endlessly!
