Yes, "What to Do on a Date" is the typical "educational" short made during the oh-so-innocent 1950s (which of course means that everyone is a bunch of wholesome white people). In this case, a geek can't figure out how to ask a girl on a date and needs guidance. Quite frankly, anyone who takes this movie as guidance will probably have a lot of trouble on a date.
Has this film no redeeming qualities? Far from it. "Mystery Science Theater 3000" showed it, and the Satellite of Love viewers had lots of fun tearing it apart. Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank may try to torture Mike/Joel and the 'bots by showing them this swill, but they're no match for the jeers and heckling.
