==Sketches==
* [[Cold Open]]ing - a text crawl in a typewriter-style font details a complaint filed with the American Civil Patrol about a Richard Pryor performance and the offensive words used therein, including "fart," followed by Pryor delivering jokes about farts in a playground. (There is a copyright line in the text crawl for "Through a Looking Glass Productions" with a Roman-numeraled credit year of 1982, suggesting this may be a new addition to the previous edit created by Pintoff in 1970, possibly added by Seymour Borde & Associates) 
* Introduction - an overweight man ([[George Memmoli]]) exits an SRO hotel, underscored by "[[Also sprach Zarathustra]]*, and while walking away, scratches his rear end. Pryor then brays the title of the movie, and continues his thoughts. (Pryor material reappears throughout the film)
* Credits - the names of the artists appearing either in original segments or in archive footage play out underscored by "Mummy Doesn't Live Here Anymore (The Chicken Song)" by [[Tony Hendra]] & [[Nick Ullett]], periodically intercut with random images and clips. Text proclaims, "A contemporary probe and commentary on the mores and maladies of our age...with schtick, bits, pieces, girls, a ([[Burger King]] [[Whopper]]) hamburger, a little hair, a lady, some fellas, some religious stuff, and a lot of other things."
