Billy's Dad is a Fudge-Packer! is a 2004 American black-and-whiteshortcomedy film written and directed by Jamie Donahue[1] in her first non-acting effort. It is a parody of the 1950s social guidance films, and depicts the life of a boy learning about adulthood in a traditional family. The apparently innocent account of family life in the 1950s is loaded with sexual innuendo. It was made by production company POWER UP.
Billy is a boy who has to decide what he will do with his life. He can't decide between a cowboy or a policeman. His father also suggests an Indian and construction worker. All four of these are characters in the Village People. His father works at the candy factory as a "fudge packer" (which is modern slang for a man who performs homosexualanal sex) and "has several men under him". His mother is visited by a short, mannish woman who knows how to please the local housewives. His sister is preparing to be a good wife, and in almost every shot is moving a phallic object to her mouth.
