| J-Men Forever | comment |
The Firesign Theatre's most successful production beyond its audio work was the 1979 Gag Dub movie J-Men Forever (a.k.a The Day the Earth Got Stoned), a homage to the Republic Pictures Film Serials of the 1930-50s, consisting of several serials spliced together into absurdity. The villainous Lightning Bug schemes to conquer the Earth with Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll, and only the J-Men — a dedicated team of tight-assed straights...err, straight-jawed men-in-tights — can stop him! | |

The Big Rotten Apple: Faced with the destruction of The Big Apple, the police engage in union negotiations while the Mayor decides he should be the first to be evacuated (instead he drowns when the tunnel to New Jersey floods). When The Chief is told that the Lightning Bug has been destroyed at the cost of New York City being wiped off the map, he declares it, "A double victory!" | |

Brainwashed: The Lightning Bug attempts to brainwash the people of Earth with rock & roll broadcasts, but is successfully countered by schmaltzy music from the Military Underground Sugared Airwaves Command (M.U.S.A.C.). He then tries gassing them with hash smoke. | |

Cliffhanger Copout | |
| J-Men Forever / int_4dec4b64 | comment |
Cliffhanger Copout: Lampshaded at the end of the film when Agent Barton mourns the J-Men who died in order to take down the evil Lightning Bug. The Chief just laughs, and we get a montage of Cliffhanger Cop-Outs showing that all the J-Men survived their predicaments. There's a classic example with Agent Spike's demise, as he suddenly has enough space to jam his gun between the spikes and the Advancing Wall of Doom that he didn't have before. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: John Wayne flies around bombing anyone who might be smoking marijuana. The Caped Madman breaks a man's skull when he tries to "unload a Buick with a Chevy engine" on him. The Lightning Bug uses his ray gun on a minion who's using his work phone to make personal calls. Rocket Jock shoots down a Martian spaceship for flying with a faulty muffler. | |

Pun: Everyone makes these. The old guy who steps out of the john to talk to Billy Batchit says he's a member of the Privy Council, and departs saying, "May the Flush be with you!" When some criminals are lifting a car engine on a pulley to drop on the Caped Madman, one quips that it's not the first engine that they've 'lifted'. The Lightning Bug has invented a Death Ray that can melt rock, so he dubs it the Hot Rock Machine. When the Lightning Bug disposes of a couple of J-Men in a Drowning Pit, Agent Barton reports to the Chief that they're "all washed up." Admiral Ballsy wants to know what the latest dope is. Spy Swatter hands him a sample of the dope that the Lightning Bug is trying to smuggle into the country. | |

Fun with Acronyms | |
| J-Men Forever / int_c25c7890 | comment |
Fun with Acronyms: The rock & roll invasion is fought by the combined forces of the F.C.C. (Federal Culture Control), KRAP Radio, and M.U.S.A.C. (Military Underground Sugared Airwaves Command). Meanwhile wimpy security guard Billy Batchit becomes 'The Caped Madman' by uttering the magic word "SH-BOOM!", enabling him to take on all the vices of a J-Man of the Secret Service: S for Sneaky, H for Hateful, B for Bigotted, O for Obnoxious, another O for Double-Obnoxious, and M for Mean! | |

Taken for Granite: A wake is held for the Caped Madman after he's drowned in molten lava. When someone suggests putting up a statue to their fallen hero, it's noted that he already is one. | |

Hellish L.A. | |
| J-Men Forever / int_df332911 | comment |
Hellish L.A.: Lost Angeles has so much smog the Bug figures no-one will notice the hash smoke he intends to bombard the city with until it's too late. Fortunately Rocket Jock, wearing a full-face helmet to protect him from the smog, disregards his personal feelings for the city and blows up the hash missile with his Ray Gun, getting a face full of hash smoke in the process. | |

Not Quite Dead | |
| J-Men Forever / int_e431c24c | comment |
Lampshaded at the end of the film when Agent Barton mourns the J-Men who died in order to take down the evil Lightning Bug. The Chief just laughs, and we get a montage of Cliffhanger Cop-Outs showing that all the J-Men survived their predicaments. | |

Advancing Wall of Doom | |
| J-Men Forever / int_e57198a4 | comment |
There's a classic example with Agent Spike's demise, as he suddenly has enough space to jam his gun between the spikes and the Advancing Wall of Doom that he didn't have before. | |

Jet Pack | |
| J-Men Forever / int_eb9eaecd | comment |
Jet Pack: Rocket Jock grumbles constantly about the problems of using an atomic-powered jetpack: the worry that his tailor has forgotten the lead-lining in his leather jacket, the need to hit his springboard in order to launch himself into the air, sore arches whenever he lands, his shoes getting set on fire, and the risk of drowning inside his full-face helmet should he get airsick. | |

Rhymes on a Dime | |
| J-Men Forever / int_fb17af62 | comment |
Rhymes on a Dime: The Lightning Bug and various other characters. During a fight with the Bug's thugs, The Lone Star decides, "I'll just leap on this creep!" Sombra sending the Bug back to the Moon in a puff of smoke. "Excellent plan, boss man. Now here's some smoke in your face, to send you back into Space." Rock'n'roll robot R2ScrewU does this for a Bond One-Liner: "HERE'S A HEAVY METAL SOUND, TO PUT YOU UNDERGROUND!" The Bug about to blow up M.U.S.A.C. headquarters. "I'm the Lightning, and here's a hit that's frightening! And I'm gonna get those beanbags working at the J-Man's M.U.S.A.C. Command! Here comes a song, and you'll soon be gone! It's gonna be a smash, be over in a flash. So long, trash!" | |
