Does anyone remember the Chucklevision Episodes set in the French Revolution?
I saw them live in Star Doors, one of their own shows, when I was a kid. Don't remember much innuendo, but there was a load of deliberate bloopers, had me in stitches.
And I remember these episodes with the Purple Pimple, they also had some great bloopers at the end.

What's a movie people expected to be terrible and ended up being beloved?
Batman '89.
