How it feels

A 1950s style social guidance film is parodied. A boy's traditional family is shown but the wholesome account is full of sexual double meanings.

What happens

Billy's Dad is a Fudge-Packer! is a 2004 American black-and-white short comedy film written and directed by Jamie Donahue in her first non-acting effort. It is a parody of the 1950s social guidance films, and depicts the life of a boy learning about adulthood in a traditional family. The apparently innocent account of family life in the 1950s is loaded with sexual innuendo. It was made by production company POWER UP. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
