SNL, the “head wound” guy. I KNOW it was just karo syrup with food coloring, but watching the dog lick his “head wound”,
ERRRRK!!!
I just about lost my cookies. And I’m not a wuss, I’m a mom, changed many a diaper, have seen many ugly “owies” and I nursed two very sick puppies through parvo. (you do NOT want to know what kinda stuff comes out both ends of puppies on the edge of death).
Ahh, but the sheer, accidental genius of “Massive Headwound Harry,” is that the dog got a bit overzealous and started to gnaw on Dana Carvey’s wounded scalp. If you look carefully, you can see Carvey valiantly trying to hold on to his flesh wound lest the beast tear it off and run away to feast upon it.
YUM!
Yeah but when it sort of stretches, it’s pretty urg-inducing! Heh.
Then seeing it done live may or may not puke you out more. I actullay hated that sketch. My Japanese brother Riki has Muscualr Dystrophy and that IS the way he has to eat. His mother pre-chews his food for him,puts it on a spoon,then he eats.
That being said SNL can go to hell.
Okay. Thanks for the reminder … I need to really watch the movie again. It’s been over six months.
Still, I stick with my “not gratuitous” stance.
Ack! I think I’d use a food processor :X
Has anyone mentioned the gremlin in the microwave yet?
Starship Troopers has a ton of gross-out scenes. The brain-sucking scene was really gross, though not as graphic as some of the other scenes.
Oh yeah, The Fly with Jeff Goldblum…the fingernails, the vomit slurping, the compound fractures, the final transformation, the monster’s demise…all incredibly gross.
In the Fly, when he was arm wrestling that guy and he snapped the other guy’s arm…made me cringe for a looooong time. Though stuff like vomiting/bleeding doesn’t usually faze me.
Even when I saw Aliens for the first time as a child,
seeing Biship getting impaled by the queen alien, then ripped in two
didn’t gross me out. I gave an :eek: at first, but my dad explained, “don’t worry, he’s just a robot”
Bleeding doesn’t gross me out, but vomiting does. Ugh.
Oh, urk. There is simply no amount of money you could pay me to do that.
I know what you mean about Massive Headwound Harry. I was watching a “Best of Dana Carvey” on Comedy Central and as soon as I saw that sketch come up, I had to change the channel. (I was eating, after all…)
I know South Park is supposed to be gross but there are certain episodes I just can’t stomach. (All right, that’s not gratitous…well it is, but you can’t really complain about that, I know.) Anything with Mr. Hanky, and that episode where Kenny keeps trying to abort the fetus his mom is carrying, but his dad gets the brunt of it.
LOL,no I didn’t “forget” that part, that’s the part that made me switch the channel LEST I lose my cookies,hehe
i’m not offended by gross stuff, but i am offended by the gratuitous use of it. like when someone is barfing, i know that they are barfing without seeing it stream out of someone’s mouth. the first thought to cross my mind was helter skelter ,with the dork in one of the early scenes. blowing up limbs and bodies in war movies is something that one should expect. massive headwound harry isn’t gratuitous even tho i get queasy when i think of it. it isn’t uncalled for. rob roy kind of went overboard on the washing up biz. one expects that after a rape this kind of thing would happen. i think that rr’s director didn’t have a lot of good stuff to make the movie a certain length so they add this sort of scene. they can justify it with calling it ‘realism’, and when someone objects they can act like they are avante garde trendsetter martyrs. if the movie hadn’t been so boring elsewhere, maybe it could have been overlooked.
