Also known as [i]Prime Time, American Raspberry[/i] is another sketch comedy along the lines of the horribly dated [i]Groove Tube[/i] and the gloriously tasteless [i]Kentucky Fried Movie[/i]. It’s not a classic by any means – there are some staggeringly racist moments (a spoof ad for Puerto Rican airlines), some baffling misfires (a parody of [i]Charlie’s Angels[/i] featuring a cast of obese actors should be funny, but it isn’t) and a heavy reliance on bad taste and smut, but Prime Time still manages to rise above its obviously skimpy budget to deliver a few solid politically incorrect laughs. The cast includes Murphy Dunne ([i]the Blues Brothers[/i]), the splendidly named Kinky Friedman and a pre-[i]Spinal Tap[/i] Harry Shearer.
