> [@TBG](#): > > Or the time Homer was listing all the wonders mankind had come up with and closed with “THE GLORY HOLE!” :eek: If there are three gloryholes in the bathroom at the club and 28 guys at the circuit party, how many rotations of guys will it take before everybody has a turn? Nine, with a remainder of Brent. Because Brent can’t fit in the gloryhole, and that’s why we all like Brent! ---

Though I don’t have to worry about watching with kids, I agree sitcoms are raunchier than they used to be. That said, I don’t mind dirty jokes if they’re funny or even mildly clever. Dirty just because it’s dirty makes me cringe a little. I’m reminded of a scene from Friends, circa 2004. Monica and Chandler are adopting, and the birth mother (who’s not too bright) doesn’t know which of two guys is the father. One of them killed his father with a shovel, and Chandler has dubbed him “Shovelly Joe”. Monica comes back from lunch with the birth mother: M: Well, we don’t have to worry. The Shovel Killer isn’t the father. C: How do you know? M: Turns out, the way they did it, you can’t get pregnant. C: Was it the thing we hardly ever do, or the thing we _never_ do? M: The thing we never do. C: (sounding duly impressed) All right, Shovelly Joe! ---

Looking at that, I get the sense that it was meant to be sarcasm. Not, ‘Ha ha, I’m shockingly trashy.’ But ‘You think people like me are trashy, so I’m gonna say this shocking thing.’ I don’t watch the show, though. ---

> [@drewtwo99](#): > > I don’t mind slipping dirty jokes in as double entendres and such. That’s clever and amusing and cool… but when your joke is basically “I have anal sex on the third date, ISN’T THAT HILARIOUS?” that crosses a line. The sin is that it just isn’t funny, it’s shocking, but not well written or funny. It is no joking matter. I take my anal sex very seriously. ---

On your hair, your face? Gimme some clues. The writing on that show is crap. Even comparing it to Chuck Lorre’s crisp, nuanced and rhythmic joke delivery is a travesty. ---

I knew before I opened the thread that the culprits would be “Two Broke Girls.” I’m no prude, but if you’re going to do such raunchy stuff relentlessly, it has to be _funny_. You can recite the punch lines along with this show. ---
