Here is a good one that is kind of obscure: Mr. Mikes Mondo Video.

Mr. Mike (Michael O'Donoghue) was the writer responsible for much of the twisted humor in the early days of Saturday Night Live. In the 1979 he left the show and made a feature length collection of his comedy sketches and bizzare music selections and called it Mr. Mike's Mondo Video.

It ends with a National Geographic style documentry of a tribe of proud polynesian warrors who have become a cargo cult worshipping the cast off fads of our decadent culture like silly string and lava lamps. He says this in front of the tribe so they re-adopt their old ways and spear Mr. Mike and leave him for dead on the beach while the credits play at the end of the movie.

There is another tiki related skit in it about a religous cult called the "Mainland Temple of the Perfect Wave" the chuch members all wear leis and their lord is Jack Lord. Dan Akroyd is a the preacher and he ends the sermon with "Book him Danno" while they play Hawaii 5-0 on the organ.

I would recomend renting or viewing this one only for fans of really weird humor.
