It’s a scene solely for the purpose to show some impeccable cleavage and to indulge in juvenile sexual innuendo. That’s a good raunchy comedy is supposed to do!

brings you... One of the most overlooked & underrated villains in comedy. UP THE ACADEMY was Mad Magazine’s attempt to get some of that money at the box office. The movie is rude and crude just like a raunchy comedy should be. •• Worth watching for Ron Leibman chew the scenery in a comedic tour de force playing Major Vaughn Liceman, a sadistically deranged authority figure with a kinky predilection for asking women if they’d like their ass tickled with a feather. Leibman disowned the movie, insisting his name be removed from the credits. Even the owner of Mad Magazine at the time paid $30K to have any association of the magazine to be removed for the home video run. Today, it’s considered a cult classic. FUN FACT: it was directed by Robert Downey Sr. and in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-him, @robertdowneyjr has a brief, non speaking cameo. #uptheacademy #madmagazine #ronleibman #majorvaughnliceman #sayitagain #cultclassic
