Porky's II: The Next Day1983

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Porky's II: The Next Day is a relic from a less politically correct era. The film's humor is broad, bawdy, and definitely not constrained by modern ideological sensibilities. Anyone looking for woke content will have to squint hard, this is about as non-woke as 80s comedies get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely sticks to raunchy teen comedy tropes rather than making identity qualities central to character arcs or narrative direction. Diverse casting and overt identity themes are basically absent, and the story prioritizes gags over ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Tradition, authority, and gender roles are played for comedic effect, but not with any agenda to undermine them. The humor pokes fun at everyone, but doesn't seriously attempt to deconstruct family, religion, or masculinity in a 'woke' fashion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn't much in the way of ideology; it's mainly crude jokes and slapstick. Where social issues come up, they're treated with irreverence or caricature, not as serious ideological statements. Conservative and traditional characters face mockery, but so does everyone else.
