Through NetFlix we received a copy of Carry on Camping, a English comedy from 1969. The Carry On movies were a series of comedies all starring the same group of Actors in a variety of plots; and all were just an excuse to see how much innuendo could be packed into one movie. Another words, they were very funny. It is also fun to see the old grandparents on the current PBS British shows playing the young nubile sex vixens. It is like comparing Miss Brahms with Pauline Fowler.
So if you want to see what had a large influence on my sense of humor, or more importantly, what had a profound effect on Mike Myers in the creation of the Austin Powers character, rent a Carry On film (they all begin with the phrase Carry On).
