Police Academy was essentially an Animal House ripoff that got tamer as the series went on. While the first movie is decent, the one thing that did help with the sequels was getting rid of the cadets who were boring, including the one dimensional Latin heartthrob. The fourth movie had the best ensemble overall (Mahoney, Jones, Hightower, Hooks, Callahan, Zed, Sweetchuck, Harris and Proctor) in my opinion...but it was hardly a sex comedy. I love the original Police Academy, and hate all the rest. The original felt like it had a lot less slapstick humor than the others, more of the comedy came from situations and not just "X does something stupid". Plus, the Latin Heartthrob was caught as being a phony by Mahoney, and also fell in love with Sgt. Callahan... I'd say there was character growth there.

Another one that was played on TV movie channels a lot... it's not exactly good, but I find it fun...
Directed by Robert Downey Sr.
First movie with Ralph Macchio.
Pretty much disowned by everyone involved, including Mad Magazine and the actor who played the school's principal (who sued to have his name removed from the credits).

*language warning* Ah to live life in a bawdy 1970s hospital. The Carry On films, while terrible from a modern social standard are still a guilty pleasure Heard about the Carry On films for years. Finally few years back on some GRINDHOUSE CULT CLASSIC grey market set I got Carry On Emmanuelle. I know I have watched it at least two times. I don't remember a thing about it. No mention of the 2 classics Hardbodies and Hardbodies II? First was on HBO at least once a week for years. Second AFAIK hasnt gotten a good DVD release yet. But Hardbodies was on a blu ray set that was everywhere for 5 bucks.

Idk if I’d call the original Meatballs a sex comedy. Seems very PG 13 to me.

Track down and watch some of the classics from the series like Nurse, Doctor, Again Doctor and Camping. Classic stuff, sexist as all hell, but a gentle camp comedy style aside. My favourite is At your Convenience, but that one is a bit more 'British' and kinda needs you to know about how Unionism was being seen in mid 70s UK (not well).

Porky's is a classic! The sequels? Just pretend that they do not exist. I actually like Porky's 3. I watched it on USA Up All Night a few times. On the other hand, I saw Porky's 2 for the first time in 2022 (really!), and it's definitely on the short list of worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I recommend The Last American Virgin. Spoiler below: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The ending is kind of a bummer, though. I watched the first half of Last American Virgin as a teenager in the late 80s. I finally learned the name and watched the second half nearly 20 years later. It was like watching two different movies.

So there was one New Year's Eve where USA Up All Night aired all three Porky's movies. In reverse order. My older brother and I taped that marathon and I would frequently watch it as I was falling asleep. So I wound up loving Porky's Revenge and Porky's II: The Next Day, and barely every actually watching the original Porky's. *shrug*
Granted, this was many many years ago, and I haven't seen any of these movies in at least 20 years. Also, the show was hosted by both Gilbert Gottfried and Rhonda Shear. So it might just be nostalgia goggles talking.

Now I did see them as they hit home video. All 3 of the 80s porkys are ok.
Yea the first one is the classic. But part 2 has a few decent scenes,the gym scene with the leader of the group they are fighting.
And 3 is just dumb fun.
It falls outside the years listed in OP but AVOID Porkys 4 aka Pimpin Pee Wee.
AFAIK it never got a home video release. Was made 20 years ago if not longer. Made cheap and quick cause rights were about to expire. As of a few days ago it is streaming on Tubi. Feels more like one of those American Pie DTV sequels than a Porkys film.
Oh and it is set in modern day.
