> [@terentii](#): > > Back in the autumn of '75 (I remember the time well because I was sharing an apartment with my brother), there was a detergent commercial (can’t remember which brand; maybe Cheer or Wisk) where an exasperated mother is standing by the washing machine looking at her teenaged daughter’s party dress: > > **EM:** **What** are all these **stains**?!? > > **TD:** (_Pointing_) That’s ice cream … cake … chocolate frosting … and _that’s_ where Tommy’s hot dog dripped on me!

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > Sulu: I’ll protect you, fair maiden. > Uhura: Sorry, neither. > > (smutty for 1966, anyway…) If you watch that episode (“Naked Time”), it’s really hard to catch unless you’re listening for it. I must have seen it three or four times before I read it in print in one of the Blish books. That was a real “Ah, ha!” moment for me. ---

On Will & Grace. Karen is a middle-aged woman, Elliot is a teenage boy (early/mid teens) who is a son of a friend or something. Elliot: Would you mind sometime if I came back to play with your XBox? Karen: Anytime kid. Elliot: Bye. (Elliot leaves, Karen looks down at the game system) Karen: Hey, would you look at that? This game is called an XBox!

We’re binging our way through the series and last night came to a full halt at a comment about Chase being pursued by really fat women: “Put away the flour and get back to work.” My mind is not processing this one, could someone explain?

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > It wasn’t a spoken line, but there was a Simpsons episode in which there was a sign for “Sneed’s Feed & Seed” that said “Formerly Chucks.” That’s pretty smutty. That’s always been my favorite. And let’s not forget how they implied that Troy McClure was sexually attracted to fish. From the Golden Girls: Blanche:Dorothy, where’s my heating pad? Dorothy: How should I know? Blanche: (holds up an electrical cord) Well if this isn’t it, I’d like to know what other electrical appliance you’re using under that blanket. Married…With Children had some, but I think most people understood that show was meant to be raunchy. Also, from the Simpsons, wouldn’t the drink Flaming Homer/Moe be a good one? ---

Instead of Sneed’s, the business was named “Chuck’s” and the implication is that instead of “Feed & Seed” it was “Fuck & Suck.” ---

If you watch the second clip, you can see the first has been altered; what she actually says is “pussywillows,” but that was suggestive enough: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/6-aFlT-DKgM/hqdefault.jpg "Catwoman "Dont go against the fur"") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-aFlT-DKgM) Holy dominatrix, Batman! :eek: AFAIK, this B&W episode of \*\*\*The Avengers\*\*\* wasn't shown in the US until the 1980s: > **[Diana Rigg Photo: The Queen of Sin](https://www.fanpop.com/clubs/diana-rigg/images/19937082/title/queen-sin-photo)** > > Photo of The Queen of Sin for fans of Diana Rigg.
