Les Patterson Saves the World (1987, Australia)

Barry Humphries comedy; although his primary role is Sir Les Patterson, the Australian Cultural Attaché, Humphries' more familiar role of Edna Everage also has a significant part in the film.

Henry Szeps plays Dr Herpes and later in the film, his sister (pic).

The trouble with filming based on a gross character is that it is difficult to be creative ... so this film is just a cheap crack at extracting more laughs from the same worn joke.
