• Review by Randomaa The Ordinariest ★★★ 5

  I once "stole" a bottle of coke and a 7UP from a store when I was like 10 (I didnt do it intentionally, I realzies that after I gone out of the store that I didnt pay for it) . And what really shocked me is how on earth the store owner did not notice a single thing. The door into the store is a glass door, the 2 bottle I taken is actually like 1.5 litres bottle, so it was quite heavy to hold and I remember dragging it out of the store. No idea how I was not caught at all. So I guess I didn't do the right thing

• Review by Joe ★½

  A cursed instructional video from the early 90s starring right-wing lunatic Dennis Prager, here espousing a very bland and inoffensive point of view about the importance of being a good person in our day to day lives. Directed by David Zucker and featuring a host of celebrity cameos, this feels primarily like a relic from a much less politically heightened era in popular culture. Evidently there was a follow-up directed by Trey Parker that has a more outspoken anti-affirmative-action message, given the sinister energy already swirling around this superficially anodyne project I can only imagine what that one must be like.

  I liked the part where an old woman falls to her death in a dumpster behind Dennis Prager

  Yo Jason Alexander and Dennis Prager go to Ametron in this lol. Losing my mind... there’s a skit at my local pro audio supply shop about Jason Alexander shoplifting stereo gear, what the fuck!!!

• Review by Christian ★

  The credited “Music Clearance” guy Evan M. Greenspan must have either had mad head game or a loaded handgun to secure tracks from Michael Jackson, The Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix AND the themes for Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Mission: Impossible for this shitty little Dennis Prager short

• Review by Sean Fahey ★★

  The needledrops, the sight gags, and the use of the phrase ”before it’s too late,” make this a lot better than it has any right to be.

• Review by Jeremy N. ★★½ 2

  Hilariously misguided plea for common decency that has Dennis Prager walking through American society like Lot in Sodom while Airplane!-styled gags—courtesy of director David Zucker—work to illustrate his self-righteous platitudes in an exaggerated (and at times sadistic) Goofus-and-Gallant manner. His points are conventional at best (e.g., be honest when you've accidentally been given a high-end VCR rather than the ordinary one you paid for) and egregious at worst (auto mechanics and cab drivers shouldn't charge too much), but it all has a certain fascinating quality in the way it exposes the inherent conservative ethos of the spoof genre. Starring a who's-who of early-90s television actors and comedians, including Bob Saget as a very bad surgeon and Scott Bakula as the Antichrist.

• Review by C Howson-Jan

  Very funny that this is someone's worldview

  Someone walks in front of you at the movies while going to their seat - this is a bad person

  Someone gives you something for less money than you were expecting - this is a good person

  was like "is that Eugene levy?" and then the hat tipped up and I saw the eyebrows

  If I had a baby, its first words would be "Dennis Prager".

  In an alternate universe, I'm a Jr. High PE teacher and I'm showing this to the Freshmen on the first day of school every year.

• Review by Charli Christine Marker ★★★★★

  Christians will often argue that it’s impossible to establish a baseline for morality without their faith, but I think this surreal document shows how it’s actually much harder to contextualize morality without political and material praxis. So many of the problems Prager talks about are due to capitalism and the way we’re emotionally conditioned by it, but it becomes so surreal that the things he dreams of can’t be caused by anything but a Marxist revolution.
