**Buffy the Vampire Slayer** had a scene in which Riley reached for a condom package before having sex with Buffy. ---

One of those **Police Squad** type movies—the ones with all the sight gags–had a “safe sex” scene where the acotrs each donned full body sized condoms… Caught an episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond” the other night, where the grandpa ran out of halloween candy, and started passing out Ray’s new condoms–which he mistook for foil-wrapped chocolate coins. ---

I remember the original “Joe’s Apartment” short where one of the roaches pushes a wrapped condom out Joe’s shirt pocket while he’s on a date, saying something like “Eh, Joe, you’re going to need one of these.” Oh, yeah! and when the Powerpuff Girls’ Professor Utonium was getting ready for a date with “Ima Goodlady”, (Sedusa), Buttercup puts something in _his_ shirt pocket, saying, “Don’t forget these.” No one is ever going to convince me that that wasn’t a condom. ---

In the movie **Little Darlings** –starring Kristy McNichol and Tatum O’Neal as two teenage girls trying to lose their virginity at summer camp (to Matt Dillon and Armand Assante) :eek: --several of the girls break into a men’s restroom at a rest stop and they raid the coin-op condom machine. I think one of the girls is shown blowing one of the condoms up like a balloon. ---

In the series _Six Feet Under_, David is shown kicking a ripped open condom packet under his bed when his mother stops in for a “talk”. IMS, he also has to ditch the lube pretty fast… I remember the Little Darling scene. (the only movie I ever got carded at–and I was 17! I am so lame…) ---

I vaguely remember a scene from **Porky’s** that featured a regular size condom that was too big for “Pee Wee”. And then, of course, there’s the German horror film \*\*[Killer Condom\*\*](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116791/) (tagline: “The Rubber that Rubs You Out!” ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] Really? I don’t remember that. Goody, I’m proud of my favorite show! 😃 [/QUOTE] It was the Halloween episode where Buffy goes to a party at Riley’s frat house. Turns out the place was once an orphanage run by an evil fundamentalist. Buffy and Riley’s passion stirs up the ghosts who trap them in the bedroom and make them have sex over and over again until they’re rescued by the Scooby gang. ---

There’s the scene in Revenge of the Nerds where Gilbert and Louis think they are going through initiation rites for the AB fraternity. Stan holds up a couple of condoms (unpackaged and unrolled) and says, “Here, take these.” “What do we need condoms for?” “B-A-A-A-A-A” (there’s a sheep in the room) ---

In **Dogma** , Jay is shown with an open, unrolled condom in hand because he thinks Bethany promised him sex. I can’t imagine how he was planning on putting on an already unrolled condom. ---

other than of course the movie Killer Condoms, my favorite condom scene is with Richard Grieco in If Looks Could Kill. he’s in a hotel in a foreign country and there is a super hot babe in his room (he doesn’t know she is an assassin there to kill him) all but about to jump his bones. then he runs into the bathroom trying to find condoms, which unfortunatly are in some sort of metal tin that opens like a sardine can and he has no idea how to open the tin and he’s fumbling desperatly to get it open. i always wondered if this was an accurate depiction of condom packaging in europe or if it was just a gag for the movie. ---

I don’t think they show the actual condoms (just the box), but one of the funniest condom related scenes, IMO, is from _Amazon Women on the Moon_. A teen is just about to lose his virginity when his girlfriend tells him to pull over at a drugstore to get condoms. He goes in and the druggist is this elderly friend of his parents. The kid goes back and forth trying to get up the courage while the druggist keeps interrupting him asking about how is Mom is doing. Finally: Kid: “So… I’ll have the toothpaste and… a… boxofTitans” Druggist: “A box of what?” “A box of Titan condoms” “I’m sorry, Georgie, you’ll have to speak up.” **"CONDOMS! I WANT A BOX OF TITAN CONDOMS!"** [the other customers all gasp in horror] And then the kid proceeds to get ambushed by a huge PR campaign because he’s Titan’s millionth customer. ---
