Every joke gets driven into the ground, dug up, and driven back another five to 17 times.
The expansion from 90-second sketches to a 90-minute movie to an eight-episode series has left the franchise’s sense of humor fundamentally unchanged. Queeth’s name is, like Cunth, a long set-up for a joke about the dirty word it sounds like. MacGruber’s fascination with pubic hair not only returns, but becomes a key plot point, as does his belief that “whoever smelt it, dealt it” is an immutable fact of life.
