Moron Movies

This is strange stuff.

Len Cella has compiled a time capsule of odd shorts, some very short... often lasting only a few seconds. They range from extraordinarily dumb to genuinely profound, or vice-versa depending on how open-minded you are. Moron Movies is certainly not for all tastes and it sometimes requires some dedicated soul searching in order to keep from asking yourself, "Why the hell am I watching this?".

However... don't give up on it before asking yourself why somebody would cook up such a silly collection of sketches... and why a commercial distributer would agree to pick it up and distribute Moron Movies in the first place, or why some of these sketches were aired from time to time on Carson's stint of The Tonight Show many years before Moron Movies was actually compiled and distributed. There's some inspired lunacy among the sketches that requires some investigation and thought. Of course, there's also some lamebrained efforts in this mix that make no sense at all. You decide.

Make no mistake, Moron Movies might be totally wacko and so bad it's funny in an Ed Wood Jr'ish sort of way. But then perhaps that was the whole point to begin with. It's sure not for everybody but for those who tend to share the same lunacy as Len Cella it can produce some good laughs... and those people could well find themselves repeating some of the catch phrases contained in Moron Movies in spite of themselves...

"I can type 90 words a minute but nobody will hire me just because I'm a shark."

"Does this aggravate ya? Huh? Heh heh heh..."

"They made this out of an old Buick."

As a last note, it's worth the trip through this stuff to watch Len shuffle a stack of sliced salami.

Hey, if Johnny Carson can find merit in Cella's skits, that in itself is saying something. Some people are going to love Moron Movies. Of course, others will simply record cartoons over it.
