Carry On (franchise)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Jump the Shark - Even the fans of the series generally admit that Carry On Behind is where the franchise began to fall apart completely.
  • Older Than They Think - In the 1960s the British were basically doing the same sort of suggestive humour that the Japanese do in modern day manga and anime.
  • So Bad It's Good:
The usual charge to make against the Carry On films is to say that they could be so much better done. This is true enough. They look dreadful, they seem to be edited with a bacon slicer, the effects are perfunctory and the comic rhythm jerks along like a cat on a cold morning. But if all these things were more elegant I don't really think the films would be more enjoyable: the badness is part of the funniness.
