The Groove Tube is a 1974 movie that is a parody of television featuring commercials, news, kids shows (featuring the great Richard Belzer as a Bozo style clown reading 19th century erotica during "make-believe time" when all the big people have to leave the room) and other television staples. Here are a couple of clips from it. The first is a cooking demonstration for "Fourth of July Heritage Loaf" using, among other ingredients, Kramp Easy Lube Brand vegetable Shortening. MMM-MMMM!
The second is footage of the Watergate Hearings featuring the Clark Terry classic, "Mumbles."
Enjoy!
