Years ago, I stopped by my parents. They were having a grand old time watching “Pecker”.
Couldn’t believe it.
I doubt that they got the intended ridicule, and simply enjoyed the situational comedy.
Some people can miss almost all of the double entendres, puns and parodies, and still enjoy a performance. They are often much better off not knowing what’s being overlooked.
Some people will fool themselves that they ‘didn’t know’ what a scene was really about. They are not ready to admit it, and may never be ready.
