Another latter day parody of the style, this one is particularly dire:

I thought surely Kentucky Fried Movie would have one of these, but its poster was surprisingly tasteful.

wait...Six Pack-Annie? wtf
― andrew m., Thursday, 1 August 2019 19:03 (six years ago)
if you can stomach it, here's the opening theme song. the yt description says: "The opening scene from Sixpack Annie features a great song by Minette Allton and Melissa Wilson, performed by Tim Hayfield. The moment Annie lovably bellows "Oh... who says we're wearing any pants!" I knew I was going to like this film." to me it sounds like they sent in some lyrics to MSR to have rodd keith have a go at it. just total garbage.

it's a great list! bravo for assembling. at one point i started making a google sheet for the thread with the idea of getting very precise about the genre's peak years, but got horribly bogged down by my early, foolish notion of also transcribing the taglines.

Kiss My Grits, 1982
― frustration and wonky passion (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 15 August 2019 17:02 (six years ago)
Good one! This thread was made for movies with titles like Kiss My Grits.
I posted something about this in the Podcasts thread, but since I discovered the podcast in question here (thanks Doctor Casino!), I should mention here was really sad to learn that the 80s All Over guys were unable to see that project through to the end. A nostalgic and informative listen for 80s kids like me, and a great source for material for this thread.

There's elements of this style on Bob Hope posters going back to the '40s!
