This hour-long tape hosted by comedian John Byner is supposed to give you ideas for games you can play at your next cocktail party. Really, it's more of a platform for Byner to perform a bunch of unfunny comedy bits, do bad impressions, and tell dirty limericks. Occasionally, there’s a little T & A, and while it’s enough to earn the “Adults Only” moniker, it’s nothing that will get you hot and bothered. For me, it was mostly of interest thanks to the participation of Up All Night’s Rhonda Shear (who plays one of the party guests) and Return of the Living Dead’s Linnea Quigley (as one of the models). However, even their presence can’t save this VHS relic.
There isn’t a whole lot of time devoted to the actual games, which is a little odd. In fact, more time is spent on the comedic introductions to the games than the games themselves. Most of these set-ups play like a slightly more risqué segment of The Benny Hill Show… or perhaps filmed versions of the comic strips you’d see in Playboy. None of them are especially funny and have predictable and/or lame punchlines, which unveil the name of the game being played.
The games don’t look all that fun either, which is probably why so little time is spent on them. One involves contestants blowing a ping pong ball across the room. The other is a race where participants hold balloons in between their legs. Not exactly “Adults Only” stuff if you ask me. There are some semi-dirty word games too and a round of naughty charades, although the humor is more of a PG-13 variety. There is one obligatory nude body painting game and a part where a stripper gives tassel twirling lessons, but who can afford to rent nude models and dancers for their parties? If you're planning some "Adults Only" fun for your next shindig, you’re better off sticking with strip poker than playing any of the games mentioned here.
