Soapy the Germ Fighter (1958)

Now-infamous 1950s classroom film meant to teach hygenic practices among grade school children, but has over the years become camp due to its presentation (mainly a talking bar of soap showing up to tell little Billy Martin [no, this one didn't grow up to manage the Yankees in the Seventies] that he should, in the words of the late Redd Foxx, "wash your ass" [though not in that blunt and profane a manner given the era this was made] every day).

Though much of what's seen in this film is still valid to this day, this is now suitable only for MST3K/YouTube Poop-type re-edits or as stock footage.
