I haven't watched him in years, and usually he doesn't have too bad of takes -- but that statement is an awful take.

Lol true. I hadn't watched him since like his first 4 or 5 videos - so it's all new to me.

An insanely influential comedy from the late '70s by Bob Clark. Without it we wouldn't have had that slew of '80s dick and sex joke movies, like Meatballs, Joysticks, and to a lesser degree Revenge of the Nerds and Fast Times.

Porky's is the clear progenitor to every raunchy comedy produced in the 80's, possibly beyond. For example, both Revenge of the Nerds and Police Academy were originally going to be much tamer movies until their respective execs said 'make it more like Porky's.'

Kinda unsurprising though that it isn't as fondly remembered today. Even I haven't seen it in years and can't clearly remember it in its entirety. But Kim Cattrall's Lassie bit remains comedy gold.

It still holds up for the most part. I just re-watched it two years ago, and it's still one of the funnier comedies. But I can see it getting a lot of backlash for its misogyny.

He's right. Porky's isn't as well known as the other 2 films. Classic doesn't mean good.

Porky's IS well known, though. It was insanely influential and it's been parodied dozens of times

Porky's 1 and 2 are my personal favorites from back then in the 1980s.

Porky's has the same problem as Seinfeld does. It's the progenitor of its style but seen as generic because it's been mimicked into the DNA of the genre.

It was really influential for its time, but it's not surprising that most younger people don't know about it because it never gets played on TV. They'd have to censor or outright cut too many critical scenes. It wasn't subtle at all.
