I want to say it was from the 1980’s or 1990’s??

A male comedian “re-enacts” the first time he touched a girl’s boobs and the musical accompaniment for his bit was _Also Sprach Zarathustra_, aka the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme. I remember it being funny because of how he related his teenaged nervousness and eventual success to the epic tone of the music…

…does anyone remember this bit? I would love to find a clip on youtube…

I’m not familiar with it but would love to see it, especially to learn what _“My God, it’s full of \_\_\_\_!”_ was.

It was on a comedy tour of college campuses - I used to have it on videotape. One of the comics was Ellen DeGeneres, the first time I’d seen her. I think it might have been a Playboy production.

Naturally, I’m now picturing Ellen DeGeneres performing this bit.
