Appearances in Other Media
As films in this genre are usually in public domain, they have been used in more modern productions outside of their intended purpose. A number of short social guidance films, such as Posture Pals and Are You Ready for Marriage?, were featured and lampooned on the television comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000 to provide padding for episodes in which the featured movie and host segments could not fill out the program's roughly 90-minute running time. On The Weird Al Show, clips from still other films were taken and edited together with new voiceovers to make parodies.
