It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World But Not A Funny Funny Funny Funny World

Today's Movie Minute is IT'S A MAD TO THE FOURTH WORLD wherein zany things happen and the viewer is forced to wonder, "Why does it have to be zany?"


To say the comedians are washed up is an insult to Tide detergent. Jimmy Durante washes up on shore and tells everyone he has money buried under somewhere and can there please be a zany chase to get there?

"Inka dinka... aw fuck it."

Everyone huddles up and decides that yes, a zany chase is the best way. The zanier the better. 

"Does anyone remember the sixties? We were so LAME."

Along the way, Sid Caesar zanily mugs his way to a hardware basement where he sets off fireworks with his high pants and his wife. But he won't go down on her because that would be GROSS.

"My eye is popping. POPPING"

Meanwhile Rooney and Hackett get on a plane and pilot it by the power of scream.

"This is your captain speaking. Prepare for turbulence with a smattering of ZANY."

In the hopes of finally getting 72 virgins, they crash their plane into the local White Spot. People and their crazy religious beliefs ha ha!

"Aieeeee! My sauerkraut!"

Phil Silvers shows up and mercifully tries to end it all by shouting THE END out of his mouth. Sorry, Phil. It won't work in every film.


At last, the viewer dies and the cast looks down at its rotting corpse. Heh heh. Finally, something to laugh at!


Spencer Tracey, who is in the movie but no one knows why, has the final laugh, finally getting yesterday's Heathcliff.

"He's wearing a fish as a hat! That crazy cat!"

Oh well. At least Jerry "Clown Cried" Lewis wasn't in it.



What?... Aw hell...

*sad kazoo*
