OLD COMEDY: “Up in Smoke.” / “Caveman.”

“Up in Smoke” (1978, PlutoTV) also referred to as “Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke.” A counterculture comedy that stoners keep on watching at least 15x a year.

Shot in Los Angeles and at the Mexican border in Yuma, Arizona, this juvenile classic is all about smoking cannabis, topless women, and frat house jokes. But you simply wanna see again. 🎥💻📽

“Caveman” (1981, Tubi) slapstick comedy film, set during prehistory and revolves around the rivalries between cavemen, and starring Ringo Starr. As described, this silliness is slapstick, which suits Ringo, the unofficial clown of The Beatles. 

       Story: Ringo’s Atouk is a bullied and scrawny caveman living in "One Zillion BC – October 9th. He lusts after the beautiful but shallow Lana, who is the mate of Tonda, their tribe's physically imposing bullying leader and brutish instigator. After being banished along with his friend Lar, Atouk falls in with a band of assorted misfits, among them the comely Tala and the elderly and blind Gog. 

       This is a kind of laugh-in that you may watch while doing your weekend floor vacuuming or while doing three other household chores. Or while stoned and drunk with your buddies. You’d be laughing for the sake of being “courteous” to yourself or fellow blokes. But then, the discovery of fire was hilarious! Cracked me up. 🎥💻📽
