There once was a time when I could not stop laughing more than 2 seconds at a time at this totally outrageous exploration in all things that are silly and sometimes even mildly offensive to the squishy. Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty were total unknowns but did that ever change in a big way. To hear Hays say that he had a drinking problem and then pour orange juice down his face instead of in his mouth is made is delivered in such an outrageous manner that you find yourself laughing and then really didn't know why the hell it was so funny.
As time has passed maybe you can't really get that exhilarated over something like this again, especially when the ZAZ's, in my opinion made the ultimate laugh-fest "TOP SECRET" but there was a time when hearing Leslie Nielsen say "I am serious and don't call me Shirley" with a totally straight face could make your intestines ache from all the belly laughs that joke produced.
Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges were of course spoofing their own tough as nails personae and the hilarious Peter Graves was so out of it that you thought you had just had a mirage because you couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth.
So this will stand as a frontrunner for something that had never in my recollection been seen before but sadly the cheap knock-offs has made the words sound more hollow and that was never the intention.
