Poorly done forerunner of those dreadful porn parodies

21st Century porn "parodies" (translation: ripoffs) boldly advertise themselves with the same titles as their victims, perhaps with the nomenclature "XXX" added. This lousy ancestor of the genre dating from the Golden Age (shot on film) is awful.

It's a lame spin of TV's "Mork and Mindy" with lousy special effects (amateur model work a la proud amateur of the '50s, Don Glut) transporting Dork to Earth where his curiosity gets him plenty of XXX sex. Dork is poorly played by Larry Davis though he looked remarkably (to me) like Bob Bernharding who had starred for writer Zachary Strong the same year in HOT TEENAGE ASSETS.

He pops up in the bedroom of Starr Wood, playing Cindy. Starr is very impressive in this role, the only reason to watch this junker, as she gives Dork a very sensual blow job shot in profile closeup. The sex footage and money shot appear to have been performed by a well-endowed double, as there is no positive ID photography connecting Dork with his on-screen fully erect member.

Cindy's neighbor is horny Lysa Thatcher, usually a show-stopper but wasted in this clunker. She even has dirty feet, the sure sign of a lousy porn film. She's bored with TV programming like "Battlestar Galactica" (who knew this reference would be hip 40 years later?) and then masturbates while watching a tape of her dad's on TV, showing anal sex.

Cindy sends Dork to a party in "Marin" (I assume Marin County) thrown on her deck by Sharon Kane. Kane is a New Age enthusiast, and the filmmakers have given her so much rouge on her cheeks she looks like Emmett Kelly.

Party is sort of an orgy, but director "Robert Pudenda" handles it so clumsily that even a recognizable star of the future, Herschel Savage, never gets into the action, is merely one of many "reaction shots" extras. They are watching a sex demo involving portly Michael Morrison and an unfortunate young girl, Kane masturbating while observing. Her motto is "Me First", not exactly New Age thinking but cannily appropriate to the Generation X, Y and Millennials that followed.

Dork gets to hump a slim Asian girl named Lily as a further demo and Kane joins in for troilism. All of this eats up lots of running time pointlessly, until we're back with Cindy and a threesome involving Dork and Thatcher. (Now there's a catchy name for a nostalgic TV Britcom!)

Film does boast a well-setup final twist involving Cindy's true identity but it is definitely a waste of time overall. The major difference between attempted comedies from the Golden Age of the '70s and what passes for porn satire in the 21st Century is that the new stuff is instantly recognizable as tiresome crap, whilst the oldies have merely become crappier with age.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations. Comedies are created with the primary intention of eliciting laughter and providing lighthearted enjoyment. They encompass a wide range of styles, tones, and themes, appealing to various tastes and audiences.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
