Series of Dubbed Comedy Movies?
A remember maybe 10-15 years ago seeing a TV ad for a special series of comedy movies. The premise was: take and old movie on any subject and dub in completely different dialog. They might have been done only for TV.

I believe one of the movies was based on a Jacques Costeau bit about collecting sea sponges, but the dialog had to do with an invasion of alien brains. Something like that.

Does anyone remember this? What were their names? Were they any good? Would it be worth trying to find old episodes on eBay?

Thanks -- would appreciate any input.

1. No, but I can recommend ....
What's Up Tiger Lily? It was a '60s Japanese spy flick with a new dubbed in dialogue. The new dialogue was written by Woody Allen.

3. there are two that i can think of.....
....there was a late-night TV series by a group called the LA Connection and i *think* it was called "midnight movie madness"...and the only film i remember them doing was "the inspector general" starring danny kaye. but they did several.

there was also a firesign theatre film called "J-Men Forever" which stitched together old republic serials and dubbed over their own story. pretty damn funny from what i remember.
