* SceneryCensor: In the "Son of the Invisible Man" segment, Griffin (who ''thinks'' that he is invisible) plays InvisibleStreaker while the pub patrons pretend not to notice him. Strategically placed furniture protects his modesty (from the audience, at least). Noticeably, the same ''does not'' happen when Monique Gabrielle is walking around naked in the "Pethouse Plaything" segment.

* TrojanGauntlet / UmpteenthCustomer: A boy who goes to a drug store to buy condoms (discreetly) for his date not only wins a prize...but becomes their spokesman, much to his horror.

to:

* TrojanGauntlet / TrojanGauntlet: The sequence in which a youth tries to buy a package of condoms. After hitting some of the usual aspects of this trope (embarrassment because the pharmacist is a family friend, etc.), the trope is spoofed when the youth is surprised by the president of the condom company coming out of hiding and informing him that he is the condom company's [[UmpteenthCustomer one millionth customer]]. This "wins" him the privilege of being the condom company's public mascot for a year, at the cost of entirely spoiling his planned evening of passion.

SpiritualSuccessor to ''Film/TheKentuckyFriedMovie'', directed in 1987 by Creator/JohnLandis, Creator/JoeDante, CarlGottlieb, PeterHorton, and RobertKWeiss. Basically a bigger budget version of [=KFM=]. This time, the sketches are centered around a cheesy 1950s sci-fi movie called, of course, ''Amazon Women On The Moon'', which appears to largely be inspired by ''Film/QueenOfOuterSpace.'' However, the local TV station screening the film keeps suffering technical faults, forcing the unseen viewer to channel surf; occasionally, more glimpses of the film are seen, before another snafu occurs forcing the viewer to move on.
