Road to Morocco
Third in the series of seven self-aware Hope-Crosby Road comedies, this Ishtar-like entry was one of the most popular. Full of Hollywood in-jokes and asides to the audience (much like Warner Bros cartoons), the Road pictures transcend their dated settings with a modernistic approach that has stood the test of time. Famous for an unplanned blooper where a camel spits in Hope’s face. The duo’s reactions were so funny that the bit was left in the final cut.

About John Landis
John Landis is the director of Animal House, The Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf In London, Trading Places, Schlock, Kentucky Fried Movie, Spies Like Us, Three Amigos!, Into The Night, The Stupids, Innocent Blood, Coming To America, Burke & Hare, and Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Black Or White among many other films, commercials and extensive work in television. He was the Executive Producer and often director of HBO's celebrated series Dream On, and contributed two movies to the Masters of Horror series, Deer Woman and Family. His feature length documentaries Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project premiered on HBO, and Slasher on IFC.
Is there a more obvious (and despicable) example of old-school than Bob Hope? Aside from taking Playboy bunnies to Vietnam, the creep made fun of AIDS-afflicted people in the ’80s.
His 60’s TV specials/movies are truly painful, but he had (before that) a certain charm. I reckon Jack Benny was far more unstandable.
