Older Sexy Comedy
 

My big weakness is for comedy from the late 20th Century featuring gratuitous naked or semi-naked women. I think I've a fair amount of it that isn't here already and making this thread might encourage me to sort stuff out and share it.

So I'll kick off with "Ca C'est Palace" ("That's The Palace"), a French show from 1988. It was sketches all set in a hotel and was apparently based on an Italian show called Grand Hotel, which I've not seen.

Firstly there's a short jingle that was used in between sketches, then the first of several skits about the ratings. Three women turn up and ask if they need help, the receptionist says yes and so they helpfully do the one thing that guarantees more viewers, take their clothes off.

Ca C'est Palace
 

This is another ratings sketch. Two policemen turn up as they're suspiciously high, which could only be because Palace is cheating on its quota of naked women. The receptionist shows them around the hotel but they fail to detect any problems because of the brilliant disguises.

(I've kept the whole sketch here, but you can skip to 1m49s for the first breasts if you like.)

Showers too cold or damp? At the Palace they make sure you're not inconvenienced by such things.

Other stuff
 

More to come from The Palace. If you like this sort of thing and haven't yet seen them, then I've previously posted threads for Sex Machine and Carabine FM. One French and one Swiss, both sketch shows with nudity from the 80s.

Ca C'est Palace
 

Firstly the research department checks their new "flattering mirror" technology, then Eva Darlan is trying to enjoy a bath but her husband has other ideas.

The research guy has noticed that this dinner sketch was losing viewers fast and needed livening up.

Rating are high but the receptionist can't figure out why.

Ca C'est Palace
 

Here we have a pretty non-PC sketch starring Valerie Benguigui who has a problem guest she asks the manager to deal with.

Then one of their recurring sketches where a rich client complains about something ridiculous, in this case a tramp in his room, but the manager always has a stupid explanation about why it's fine. This time the tramp is there in case the guests snores, whereupon a door will open and a woman will strip (hence why it's posted here), the tramp will whistle his appreciation and wake up the guest, thus stopping the snoring.

Ca C'est Palace
 

Final post from the Palace. These clips are from the DVDs and I think are everything from the shows worth posting.

Here we have an accident between two birthday cakes, the people who bake them also double as the strippers hiding within. Marie Steen is the brunette and Myriam Mosco is the blonde.

Then there's a short skit where a guest tells you that if you want pretty women it doesn't really matter what you look or smell like, as long as you have money.

FR3 c'est trois fois mieux!
 

FR3 is one of the French national TV channels, they had some silly jingles in the 80s with the slogan FR3 is three time better! They're hard to find now but it seems like a few had topless or scantily clad women in them.

FR3 c'est trois fois mieux!
 

Last one I have.

Les Nuls
 

One from L'Emission, a TV show from the early 90s by French comedy troupe Les Nuls. It's some advice about how to handle being a messy eater at parties, the captions say "eat nude" and "wash yourself by jet."

The video also begins with two brief clips from the opening titles.

Merci Bernard - Pauline Lafont
 

Next Pauline Lafont in a sketch from 80s French comedy Merci Bernard.

I've never quite got this joke, it seems to be a spoof underwear advert (she talks about how great her breasts look). Probably just that the bra does nothing for her smelly armpits, but it's obviously too sophisticated for me.

Merci Bernard
 

Some videos I have can't be put here because of watermarks, I've started a thread for them in the File Links section and just added some more Merci Bernard content.

Maia Velli in Vacances de Reve
 

This is a stage show but was filmed for FR2 in 1997. It's a farce and features some classic ENF. By elimination I think it's Maia Velli, but there's almost nothing about her on the internet so I'm not 100% on that.

There's a marginally better, but watermarked copy on youtube here - youtube.com/watch?v=Vbd5oHut7Jg

Les Fiches Bricolage du Professeur Choron
 

Professeur Choron is the man behind Hara Kiri a French counter culture magazine that started in the 60s. It was self described as "stupid and nasty" and tried to be provocative and offensive to just about everyone. He also started Charlie Hebdo. There's a thread of stuff from Hara Kiri here as nudity was fairly common.

He and Hara Kiri did a few video things over the years, this is one of his deliberately idiotic DIY tips.

Les Fiches Bricolage du Professeur Choron
 

This time he (and his assisstant) shows us how to wash dishes more efficiently.

Hara Kiri Video 1
 

There were two VHS releases from Hara-Kiri in (I think) the mid 80s. They both have a bunch of nudity, but not all of it would fit here. I'll put the bits that are, sort of, comedy sketches here and then the full videos in the file sharing thread once I'm done.

First up two skits from HK Video 1. A look at what house wives really want to get up to with processed cheese, then French comedy legend Coluche (playing a random biker) shows up at a Hara-Kiri photo shoot because he's become obsessed by one of their regular models.

Hara Kiri Video 1 & 2
 

Last sketch from Hara-Kiri Video 1, someone takes a delivery and verifies that the merchandise has everything in the right place. Then, from their second video, an advert for a new beauty product that's so stunning people will be lining up to give you flowers.

Hara Kiri Video 2
 

Two more from Hara-Kiri Video 2. Firstly a woman plays a funny joke on her gynaecologist, then an advert selling a home kit to become a cabaret star. (The woman at the market stall confesses it's her dream but she doesn't have the time, then the man explains the special offer to her.)

Hara Kiri Video 2
 

More from the weird world of Hara-Kiri.

This time a woman gets the gift she's always wanted, some camembert. Then two guys come up with a great plan to keep warm and entertained, go to a shop and turn on all the heaters until it's so hot the assistant needs to take her clothes off. It doesn't end well for them, though. I've always thought the assistant has a great body, shame she's not in any more sketches.

Hara Kiri Video 2
 

Final Hara-Kiri stuff for this thread. First there's a risqué magic act that has an unexpected ending, then a heartfelt plea to stamp out the practice of using women as eggcups.

I'll shortly be putting a re-recording of the eggcup sketch in the sister thread for watermarked videos. That version has more shots of the woman/eggcup than this one, and (I think) stars the brunette from the processed cheese and gynaecologist sketches.

Cocoricocoboy
 

Starting on lots of videos I have from shows by the comedian Stephane Collaro. He was a mainstay of French comedy in the 80s, doing popular sketch shows that often had topless women in them. Most of the clips will be of his 'playmates', where once a show some sketch would feature a very thin excuse for a woman to dance in just a thong.

First up is a typical playmate featured in a skit about Adam and Eve. There's a few glimpses of nipple from Eve herself, and we finish off with a performance from nip slip legend Sabrina. Though sadly there's none in evidence here.

Oh! Coco l'été chaud
 

Few short clips from a show Collaro did in the summer of 1988. Seems to have been one of his most topless pieces of work, but sadly I've never been able to find the full episodes.

Collaro - Examination & Cul Nu
 

Two more sketches. In the first a doctor persuades a female patient to not worry about her state of dress, but then gets busted by his wife. Then a hypocritical woman says she finds nudity on beaches and TV disgusting.

Plage & Playmate Chirac et Mitterand
 

Quick topless woman surprising a priest in a beach sketch, then a bit of topless satire as Jacques Chirac holds up Francois Mitterrand and some woman and makes her dance for him.

More Collaro Playmates
 

An evil magician has kidnapped a princess, and Laurel & Hardy get in trouble at a museum.

A vox pop turns into a striptease and Tarzan meets Jane.

More Collaro Playmates
 

The joke in the first one is just that the guy is Belgian, and so obviously a drunk. Apologies to any Belgians, it was the 80s.

Then the 7 dwarfs enlist the help of the witch to get Snow White to strip for them, but Prince Charming is not amused. (And neither is the actress playing Snow White by the looks of things, possibly not the role she dreamed of in drama school.)

More Collaro Playmates (ft Veronique Catanzaro)
 

A woman looses at a party game and has to strip. Then the kids of the house come down and reveal they saw their mum dancing like that for some man the other day.

There's also some behind the scenes footage of this one from a documentary on 80s comedy. The woman stripping is Veronique Catanzaro.

More Collaro Playmates
 

First up a guy get's three wishes, one of which is for a playmate

Then the sad tale of a woman who used to strip for her pet fish to turn it red. Her husband got jealous, killed her, and now her ghost still strips while haunting the castle. (I know that makes little sense, but it's honestly what happens in the sketch.)

More Collaro Playmates
 

This time five women try and get the attention of some window cleaners, and then a playmate lands of The Planet of the Apes.

More Collaro Playmates
 

Two more sketches involving magic. In the first one the playmate gets her own back, then a guy makes a wish to turn his inflatable doll into the real thing, though it doesn't end well.

More Collaro Playmates
 

This time a Napoleonic General uses his girlfriend to win a promotion, then the women's liberation movement reaches a Sultan's harem.

In the Naploeon clip Collaro gives the playmate an audible slap on her arse as they're making their way out, if anyone's a fan of that sort of thing.

More Collaro Playmates (ft Veronique Catanzaro)
 

First up Veronique Catanzaro uses an unusual boxing technique to take on a kangaroo. Then decadent westerners infiltrate the Bolshoi Ballet and corrupt one of the dancers.

More Collaro Playmates
 

Firstly a woman meets the devil and agrees to sell him her soul for riches. Though turns out she also has to sleep with him, and sadly he's not actually the devil. Then we see a curious native ritual.

More Collaro Playmates (ft Veronique Catanzaro)
 

Here Veronique Catanzaro goes to a doctor with an unusual technique, then the story of Adam, Eve and original sin.

More Collaro Playmates
 

Last few I have in this good quality, though certainly not the last I have.

First up a Dentist realises he needs to change assistants to put his patients more at ease. (Particularly amazing 80s hair on the new nurse.) Then we see a strange cult giving a ritual offering to their god.

More Collaro Playmates
 

Now starting a bunch of variable quality I've found over the years.

Firstly a quick sketch on the beach, then a homeless woman tells her companions to imagine she's actually young and beautiful but it works too well.

Should have said before, but all the Playmate skits so far are from the show Cocoricocoboy.

More Collaro Playmates
 

Slightly different, these are 2 compilations of Playmate sketch extracts from some Best Of shows that were put together in the 90s.
