Comedy In Porn

Pat Riley writes 4/19/01 on RAME: There is one form of comedy in porn that is well done and that's when the performers are not really acting but just being themselves (with a little framework). I speak of things like the White Trash Whore series from JM Productions where Powers (the director) picks the girls, and probably the guys, to correspond in real life to the White Trash image. And a very good job he does too.

In another series (Liquid Gold) he even says to Kat Langer, "You're really white trash, aren't you?" and she actually agrees with him. Her, Allysin Embers, Brigitte Kerkove, Keki Daire, Candi Cotton, Shasta, Candi Kiss, Harley Rain, Allison Kilgore, Nina Whett, Teri Star, Randy Storm,...it's practically a litany of the trashiest women in the business.

And can you go past David Hardman for the sleazy but incompetent drug dealer who joins the Aryan Nation and then recruits jewish Herschel Savage into the group. Or another episode where Herschel admits to killing his white trash whore wife. Or when Hardman's stepdaughter Teri gets out of jail and he takes it upon himself to prevent her from whoring it out with a little bit of incest. Or another episode with Hardman breeding attack dogs to guard his crystal meth lab.

Also the Bootylicious series (Mike Paul won't like this one) with Byron Long running a gang (Devlin Weed and Tony Everready) whose job it is to pick up some money from a bank but they're so incompetent that they keep missing the connection usually because they're screwing a girl. Or a little harder when one of the guys makes it big in the record business and then has his friends cuckolding him behind his back. Not all this series are comedy though. One of the more recent, "Get Whitey" plays to the idea of the black men taking revenge on the whites by screwing their women.
