No no no. The best line was Darlene’s response to it all:
“Trust me, he goes in that room cause it’s the only one with a lock on it, and he’s in there for like an hour at a time. Which means he’s either really, really good at it, or really, really bad at it!”
From. from the male dopers. :smack:
Think I picked my name by mistake?
I think that episode is from the first season of Scrubs, actually.
It’s quite old.
Several years ago, when Dharma’s friend Jane on Dharma & Greg was interrupted on a vibrating easy chair, she complained, “Twenty minutes down the drain.”
To answer your question, yes things like that can work, though of course most sensible people move on to things better designed for the specific purpose. Another popular “found” device is the water coming out of the bathtub tap.
Of course, there are some women who have a condition where it can happen almost anywhere with even the most minor stimuli: a condition that, apparently, is a lot less enjoyable than it sounds.
DAMMIT…I wanted to quote that line. Because it is, in fact, the greatest line in the episode. Perhaps the entire series.
There was also a Drew Carey episode in which Kate kept sitting on her cellphone in vibrate mode, and calling it from another phone.
I believe there was also an episode of Drew Carey where the guys were talking about a girl they knew from Jr High/High School/Summer Camp that they had all “experienced”, and Kate said “What is wrong with this girl? Was she too good to sit on a dryer?”
In-your-endo.
High five!
Donna on That '70s Show imagined the dryer with an uneven load to ‘finish her off’ (whereas Eric had to think of old people or something to calm himself down). Also, Charlize Theron’s character on Arrested Development thoroughly enjoyed the swaying, quarter-activated children’s ride in the mall.
Or just a very lucky machine. The Scott Baio of appliances…
It happens in Varsity Blues too.
Hm. I never got that that’s what was going on in Arrested Development. I thought it was just that she was something of a mental defective, and she enjoyed it like a little kid would. Hafta go watch that one again.
I’m reminded of a Kids in the Hall sketch. (Probably not quite how it went, but close enough.)
The Chicken Lady removes a child from a mall horsey ride and turns to his mother (played by Dave Foley).
<Chicken Lady> Can I have a quarter?
<Mom> Why?
<CL> Can I have a quarter? It’s very important.
<Mom> Why?
<CL> I’m MASTURBATING…
<Mom> Masturbating?
<CL> Yeah.
<Mom> You want me to lend you a quarter so you can masturbate in front of my son.
<CL> Yeah, I’ve been doing it all day, and I’m almost finished!
That was a good one, all right, but my favorite was when Roseanne and her neurotic sister Jackie are both meeting with a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist draws out Jackie to the point that she goes on an extended, primal-scream rant about everything that’s wrong with her childhood, adolescence, love life, relationship with Roseanne, etc. After a moment of stunned silence, Roseanne says to the psychiatrist, “You’d better call for backup.”
No, the best line on that show belonged to Darlene and was from the aforementioned episode about DJ masturbating.
“He’s going into the bathroom for hours at a time, which means he’s either really really good at it…or really really bad at it.”
Pst…look at Justin Bailey’s post that I was replying to in the post Elendil’s Heir is replying to.
Still, it’s nice to have backup on that point. >_>
How can a discussion of masturbation in sitcoms proceed this far without a pro forma mention of *The Contest *Seinfeld episode?
Come to think of it, the latest *Scrubs *has Elliot telling Cox she’s calling all her exes, and he says something like, “Before you dial up the pulse setting on your showerhead . . .”
And … how did the other people in the laundromat react to this?

Thanks, folks, I’ll be here all week
Stay away from the veal…
