I was pretty surprised what you’re allowed to say in a PG show that’s on at 7:30.
Still extremely entertaining, though.
and what, for those of us without access to NBC, is that?
bump
They said “bump” on network TV??? Good Christ almighty, where have our morals gone!
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
OK, you see, Joey got offered a part in a movie. He plays an Italian Catholic immigrant at the turn of the century who falls in love with a Jewish woman. There’s full frontal nudity. Imagine the physical requirements for Judaism vs. those of Italian Catholicism. I’ll give you a moment…
If you haven’t gotten it by now, Joey couldn’t take the part because he was circumcised.
Monica to the rescue: she makes him a “prosthesis,” so to speak, out of Silly Putty®. When Joey goes to the director to show her the goods, Joey pulls down his pants and the Silly Putty® falls to the floor.
Oh, and they never actually said “circumcised.”
Actually, when Monica said something like, “And we all get to see your thing,” at the time I thought that the way she said “thing” sounded kind of weird. After reading the OP, I remembered that and wondered whether “thing” might have been dubbed over another word. (I watched on a Chiacgo station via satellite, if that makes a difference.)
It was rather an off-color topic for prime time, but I think it was cleverly done, and surely no worse than Seinfeld’s “Contest.” (And I LMAO when Joey’s prosthesis fell off. “All natural” – hee hee hee!)
And Monica made another prosthesis out of fur, and decided to keep it for herself. That seemed off-colour.
And then there’s the plot of Ross realizing that he is attracted to his cousin…
they’ve said penis before. When they’re looking at pictures of young Monica and Ross and they come across a naked picture of Ross…Ross: “Yes, that is my penis…” I am too obsessed, aren’t i?
I found it interesting that they never said the word “circumcised” (maybe they’re not allowed?) but can say the word “bitch.”
