What critics compared The Groove Tube to
There are many comedy and film geeks who, at an impressionably young age, managed to see anthologies of lunacy like The Groove Tube, Kentucky Fried Movie, and Amazon Women on the Moon.
In England, it seems, this anthology of gross-out skits (sort of like some of the “Funny or Die” website parodies or the 1970s “Kentucky Fried Movie” and “The Groove Tube” flicks) has a different wraparound, or basis: A bunch of teenagers seek the elusive “Movie 43” and discover other movies along the way.
Farrelly was going for a 21st century version of "The Groove Tube" and "Kentucky Fried Movie," two very funny, very raunchy and very influential sketch-comedy flicks of the mid-1970s.
Occasional comedy successes have come with movies like “The Kentucky Fried Movie,” “The Groove Tube” and “Amazon Women on the Moon.”
