I never found them funny I just found them stupid. I never laughed once watching the small parts I saw of the movie, but it bored me and I didn’t watch on.
I do think it led to moral depravity. Whenever you are on a substance it changed the thinking, lets your guard down, on young kids it’s a bad idea for so many reasons. Personally I’d like the Hays code brought back to some degree. The guys who make movies are a lot of them just degenerates. I just read how Sue Lyon was under 16 when she made Lolita and the producer had an affair with her, 18 years her senior and married of course. The casting couch is real.
They’re not intentionally funny. They’re Ed Wood funny.
They were all about moral depravity. The “lessons” of those movies were a lie to get around Hays. Then of course in the long term they became favorite movies to watch stoned.
