I was reading an interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone where they were asked how they got away with some of the stuff they have. The answer was that they sometimes didn’t give them the completed episode until up to half an hour before it airs. And that whenever the execs complained about it, they just had to say “Hey - It’s current!”
Uhhhhh. Like somehow, it’s different when Beavis and that other guy do it, you know? And there was less of that, uhhh, stuff. It was mainly about picking up chics, and watching videos, and cool stuff like that. The show was just better. Hey Beavis, check it out, this thread has a lot of dirty words in it. heh heh! huh huh!
Money shot: that scene in every porn movie where the guy pulls out just in time to squirt his fluids all over the object of his affections. I’m not sure why it’s called that, but it probably has something to do with the fact that it’s the visible orgasm that either 1. you the consumer paid for or 2. the male porn star gets paid for.
I thought it was so funny how they included ‘Red Rocket’ in that episode! I thought the kids in my neighborhood invented ‘Milking The Dog’! And they got it completely right too, except we kind of sang ‘Red Rocket, Red Rocket’ when we did, instead of just saying it.
I’m surprised they didn’t show them drinking it. We always did.
‘Money Shot’ has actually made it into other areas of life. It’s more like your first example. Let me put it another way. The money shot is a scene that makes the scene. Man, this is hard to put into proper words. Ummm, kind of like the capstone from a pyramid.
i.e. Like say you’ve got two snipers fighting it out in a burned out city. the tension buids until one of them gets show. That scene where the sniper gets shot is the money shot.
i.e. You travel all the way to London to see the Queen. When you finally do, that’s the money shot.
As per South Park I was picturing the difference in sex ed. between Beavis & Butthead and this one. Which was the funniest moment for me in that show.
I had to turn my TV so my grandmother couldn’t see it (she can’t hear well so that was ok). Not because I was afraid she be mad at me simply because I didn’t want to offend her sweet 87 year old sensibilities. When she asked why I told her there was dirty stuff on and she was shocked. Said she was sure that the women voters would get that stuff off the air. Didn’t have the heart to tell her the truth.
But what I’m really wondering about is which Comedy Central show has gone the furthest.
South Park - Dog masturbation with jism. many many other things.
TV Funhouse - Dog eating his own poo sandwhich. The whorehouse. Chickie’s son accidently getting burned to death.
Man Show - not so much disgusting but painful to watch (them asking women to sign a petition against suffrage, even getting one poor soul to go around and try to talk other women into signing.)
and there are others. ummm the fecal Jesus from Upright Citizen’s Brigade …
I keep asking myself how far can they go?
Omni… I distinctly remember seeing those nipples several times in the first episode she was in. Where she goes into the tree to confront herself.
ALSO (last comment I think) i was really disappointed when they went back to bleeping sh*t! I guess it kinda fits with the storyline but jeez! You think after … 163? times they wouldn’t have any more problems with it eh?
Whoa!!! Somebody came to the point where I went and then continued on to the horizon. Maybe it was a good thing I got banned from my friends house for blowing up their microwave before we got too far.
Oh gawd! I just saw that episode last night… Thank god for the internet… It probaly wouldn’t come out here for another year or so…
Me and my roommate watched it together and we could not belive what we were seeing… during the “red rocket” scene we were both literally speechles… we paused the vid… looked at each other and just totally burst out laughing… I was lying on the floor with stomach cramps from laughing so hard… we had to watch it 3 times just to actually belive what we were seeing!!!
who’d ever thought something like THAT would pass censorship in the US… damn!
Can’t wait for the next episode… If the season continues like this it’ll be amazing… Sadly I guess theres a good chance it will be the last season too… Too many people will want it shut down if it goes on like this… bah! :-/
even if every parent organzation in the country wants them shut down, comedy central won’t do it. they are making too much money from it! and if people sue… well, there was a warning at the beginning! if you let your kids watch despite the warnings and the late time slot… well, then the destruction of their fragile little minds is on your head! so nannananananananah!!-says the leagal department.
i can’t wait for the next one. apperently, they are going to be making fun of crass consumerism in the next episode, to judge by the ads.
