That wasn't as bad as the audience losing their minds.

You can always move up from toilet humor to satire, but you can't go the other direction. I've always found satire to be the smartest form of humor.

I still think the whole "factory that makes miniature models of factories" is pure genius. And I have yet to watch a Connery Bond, see Blofield/his cat without saying "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MR. BIGGLESWORTH!".
