Misadventures of a Massage Therapist: energetic but juvenile

Are you a fan of the Police Academy movies? The sequels to Porky’s? Do you like joking about farts and sharts? Then Misadventures of a Massage Therapist is going to be comedy gold for you.

Jason Brasher enthusiastically presents stories of pranks and assorted weirdness in the course of his career as a massage therapist. There’s the client with a G-string and digestive issues. In another anecdote, a crazy new employee wanders into their meeting room, lets out a long fart and scampers off. And then there’s that outrageous prank where Brasher manages to… wait for it… get the receptionist to talk in a really loud voice! Funny, right?

Not a good fit for my sense of humor. And I don’t claim particularly refined tastes – Family Guy and The Simpsons have been mainstays of my entertainment over the years. Still, this show’s humour is bound to appeal to some people’s guilty pleasures.
