See a musical celebrating paperwork! See a puppet show about Social Security! See cartoons about violating your Constitutional rights! Meet “Your Enemy, the Grasshopper”. Sing along to songs about paying taxes. Authentic informational films containing very little information, hosted by noted authority Fenton W. Abernathy, Jr., who is as uninformative as the films he tries to explain. A welcome return, after nearly two decades, from Travesty Films, the semi-renowned humor collective that brought the world such film classics as INTESTINES FROM SPACE, ALCOHOLICS UNANIMOUS, INSURANCE SALESMEN FROM SATURN, and the comedy album TEEN COMEDY PARTY (featuring the classic Dr. Demento mainstay ROCK & ROLL DOCTOR).
