We Can Still Make Fun Of Fat People
30 November 2020
So says the fat guy writing ths review, and a good thing it is too. We need to preserve some of the old comedy tropes. However, given that this Pete Smith short is about an overweight woman, are we still permitted to snicker?

A Smih called Pete doesn't seem to care, nor does his foley artist -- who offers us loud thuds whenever the flesh meets the floor. I'm afraid that my sense of humor is still mred n bygone days, producing what my niece calls a low sense of humor. On those terms, this is a funny short. Well, goodbye now!
