So I was finishing up an episode of The Big Bang Theory on my DVR and a few minutes from Two Broke Girls were recorded next. Having never seen the show, I watched it. In the opening scene, the two main characters were discussing dating nowadays. I paraphrase:
Blonde: “So what’s normal for a third date?”
Brunette: “I don’t know. Anal?”
Great googly moogly. I’m not a prude by a long shot, but jeez… we’re a long way from Ozzie and Harriet, aren’t we?
Maybe she meant “It’s pretty anal of you to have a codified listing of what’s allowed on a per-date basis…”?
That’s how I understood it. Clearly the OP has a filthy mind.
No, the OP has it right.
Yeah, TV is different now. There’s an extensive list of sitcoms we can’t watch when my 8 year old is around…and I’m sure I have a well deserved “not a prude” reputation on this board.
2 Broke Girls is number 2 on the list.
2 and a Half Men is number 1.
Hmm, that does seem to be a bit much for a prime-time network show. I don’t have kids but I wouldn’t want to try to explain that line. Honestly, I’m a little surprised that would make it past network censors even today but I don’t watch a lot of sitcoms anymore.
Remember when the first season of The Simpsons was edgy and controversial? Boy, things have changed.
Are you sure??? :eek:
Ozzie and Harriet wasn’t so clean anyway
I saw an episode the other day and Ozzie describe his new jacket as “a little on the gay side”
Mike & Molly, too.
Maybe I am a prude. At least regarding what I think should be on network TV.
There really aren’t a lot of shows I can watch with my son.
A sitcom that airs at 9:00 should be safe. But neither of us wants to react to a joke about pubes in front of the other.
This is the same show that’s brought us such gems as:
Caroline: How did ketchup get this hard?
Max: You just hold it in your hand like this and say, “You’re the best ketchup I’ve ever had.”
Max: Well, bottoms up.
Caroline: Max, don’t say that after anal leakage.
Max: You know I switched that Purell with KY.
Caroline: Please tell me you’re kidding.
Max: Of course I’ kidding, I can’t afford lube; I just use my tears.
Sophie: Stop, this is not dental school interview, this is scrubbing toilets, in or out?
Caroline: We’re in, all the way.
Max: In my experience, when someone has to tell you they’re all the way in, you better hope their tongue works.
Max: I kissed Johnny
Caroline: What?! When?
Max: He came by the apartment right after you left.
Caroline: I was only gone twenty minutes. What did you do, shine a bat symbol on your vagina?
Max: This used to be owned by this old Irish guy who had freckles on his penis. Sometimes he’d corner you and flash it, but then he’d always comp you with a free lotto ticket.
Caroline: I thought I was getting raped.
Max: That´s not what rape feels like
ETA: So, yeah, I’m pretty sure the OP has got it right.
No, the OP has it exactly right.
Early in the first season, there is a scene with the two girls at home, where one asks the other to open the back door. The other says, “We’ve known each other for two days and you’re already asking for back door?”
Even though the context up to that point was completely non-sexual, it was clear what the “punchline” was meant to convey.
That’s just CBS trying to be all edgy and shit.

Somehow I do not regret never having seen or really even heard anything about this show until now.
A bunch of “jokes” about anal sex from a gay man (I presume Max is gay from all the quotes here)? yawn
I’ve never watched it, but I think Max is the brunette girl.
ETA: Kat Dennings
Clearly that critic has been influenced by a stunted psychosexual development. He probably gets a boner when he makes fried eggs, too.
Hmmm, that’s kind of hot. 
Or that episode of I Love Lucy plans to make Ricky jealous by having him walk in on another man making love to her.
She’s a poor straight woman with a large rack.
For what it’s worth, Family Guy did an anal sex joke a few years back. So American primetime had already lost its anal virginity.
This is not a phrase I ever thought I would read much less agree with.
I think I need to meditate now… oh look… a full moon!
I catch “The Talk” two or three days a week, it comes on at 1pm here. It’s often a live show, and they get away with saying a lot of stuff I never thought I would hear on daytime TV. Sometimes it gets bleeped, sometimes it doesn’t. Not sure if the network gets in trouble for the stuff that gets missed with the bleep button, but it’s fun to see what they’ll get away with on any given day.
