Shane's World 31, Shane's World College Guide How to Get More Pussy

If you think you can predict most of Shane's World: Nerdz's plot just by hearing the title, you'd be right. Geeky looking guys, wet dream fantasies, cracks about video games, and formulaic plots about getting more pussy abound in this gonzo. While it's better than the highly-scripted, soundstage "comedies" that were the staple of the adult world in the 80's and 90's, Nerdz isn't in the same comedic league as the mainstream B-movie series or the same pornographic league as some of Shane's World's previous releases.

The plot, such as it is, revolves around Mike Maravich and his nerd pals Trent Saluri (the dopey one) and Rob Longshot (the metalhead one). After the opening wet dream sequence POV--which isn't bad except for hideous boobs and tats--Mike concocts a plan to get more pussy by getting a van, because, you know, hot chicks love guys with vans. He picks up Hillary Scott off the street in tried-and-true Bangbus style. It's a pretty good scene for two reasons: the driving (I've got a thing for the semi-public-sex-in-a-car scene) and Trent's big cock. His surprising size and Hillary's small frame make for some good visuals, especially since they go at it really hard. She's a little too whiny and loud for my taste, but it's a good scene.

After that idea fails, they try another approach: creating a campus TV show at their conservative college (with the religious college president played by Stephanie Swift in a non-sex cameo). Using a disability loophole, they air their "Retarded Porn Show" which features a "home video" from James Deen, who's apparently a big fan of the RPS even before its first episode. James hooks up with blonde Alexis Malone for an extended tour of her vagina. Both performers are good looking and they go at it with gusto as they alternate fucking each other. The biggest weakness in this solid scene is the hard-to-see, watery pop shot on cutie Alexis' buttcrack.

So the hero nerd, Mike, still hasn't gotten laid. His next idea is to answer an ad for male talent, where after a quick once over by the director, he's again passed up in favor of Trent. His screen test is with Karina Kay, who infrequently tries to pretend she has Tourette's--funny, most of the dialogue doesn't seem that out of place from regular pornos. I'm not big into the gagging BJ's, but if you're into that sort of thing, there's quite a bit of it. The sex is pretty standard, with only Karina's nice natural tits and a rare abdomen pop shot really catching my attention.

Next up, we're introduced to Mike's friend Rob, who tells Mike of a local nympho who fucks all of the pizza delivery guys. So they set up a fake pizzeria (called "Hot Stuff Pizza" but Rob gets the T-shirts printed as "Hot Stiff Pizza"). Unfortunately, Rob has to borrow a hearse for a delivery vehicle when his car is out of action. No matter, when Avy Lee Roth answers the door, she inspects the pizzas (with strategic holes cut in the box) and selects Rob's "extra sausage" pizza. Poor Mike -- no pussy for you! This scene ends up being the weakest of the video. Avy has never done anything for me, especially with her accent. Rob is one of those slightly-overweight guys who shave all of their pubes to try to look bigger. Doesn't work. Complete fast forward material.

The final setup is Tony T. wanting to get some foreign exchange student (Katsumi) to think he's some gangster like Tony Montana in Scarface. She wants to take tennis lessons, but Tony is broke. So he turns to Mike and Rob to give her tennis lessons. After Tony gets too jealous, he kicks them to the curb and takes Katsumi back to his sprawling 1-bedroom estate for a piece of his American dream. The sex starts off with a pretty nice BJ followed by lots of vag in 6-7 different positions. The fucking is noteworthy because Tony T. keeps hard wood and the coupling is nice and wet. The only hitch in the scene is the long-ish jerk to pop in Katsumi's mouth (the only facial pop in the vid).

One of the prerequisites of enjoying a porno is not getting turned off by the talent. I won't name names, but you get to see one of the worst boob jobs within the first five minutes of the video--and it rivals the hack job that Tara Reid unveiled at that party last year. Then there are the abundant tattoos that look like they're the temporary ones you get out of a vending machine. Another no-no is the wall-to-wall, banshee screaming that seems as authentic as, um, those tattoos.

Based on the reviews I've seen, I think I'm going to be in the minority and say that this is a good, but definitely not great, video. It's good for a few chuckles, but it mostly comes off like a weak attempt to play off the nerd stereotype. I thought the 4 promos for the video were a lot funnier than the whole movie itself. Aside from the turnoffs I just mentioned, the sex is above average, but doesn't come close to the heat of some of the more "spontaneous" scenes that Shane's World has brought us in the past. Without the pro-am believability and without the nasty factor of other gonzos, Nerdz is probably rental material.
