Truly smutty lines on broadcast TV

Just the other day I saw an episode of an Anthony Bourdain show (don’t remember which one) where he was comparing something he was eating to bukkake. I laughed and wondered how many old people were googling bukkake right then, then had to explain it to my husband. This was on in the late afternoon, Saturday I think.

An episode of Mad About You with a flashback to Paul and Jamie’s wedding. As Paul is licking the wedding invitation envelopes, Jamie is walking by, and they have this exchange:

Paul: If I had two tongues, I’d be the happiest person on the planet
Jamie: Second happiest.

“Not the Nine O’Clock News” ran from 1979 to 1982 in the UK on BBC2, in the 09.00-09.30 pm slot - just after the viewing “watershed” for slightly more adult stuff.

the 1980 song “I Like Trucking” probably qualifies, but the 1982 end of season song “Kinda Lingers” was jaw-dropping.

If you don’t want to click the link to watch the video (about 2 mins) then just say it out loud quickly (not in company or at work!) and then consider that this was repeated numerous times in the song, at 09.30 pm on the Beeb, in 1982. Memorable stuff.

Another LA Law line that came to mind. Early on, when Harry Hamlin’s character was still trying to get into Susan Dey’s pants (spoiler: he did), there was a setup that could have been interpreted as her leading him on with no intention of getting where he wanted to go.

Gracie: I could do that, but there’s two words for it, and the last one rhymes with ‘freezer.’ (She walks away.)
Michael: (mouthing the word in puzzlement) Freezer. Freezer.

Maybe not all that smutty, but I did like the Blackadder line, “I believe the phrase I’m searching for rhymes with ‘Clucking Bell’”.

**My Name is Earl **had quite a few:

Joy (standing naked in front of Randy): Hey, dummy. You know where babies come from?
Randy: Yeah, from right at the bottom of that fuzzy lightning bolt.

Joy to Darnell (when she wanted to get pregnant and he refused): I haven’t washed the sheets from last night, so I might not need you, anyway.

Joy (while stripping the pants off a prison guard): You need to do some manscaping. It looks like somebody set a thimble on top of an afro wig.

Family Guy also did a parody of the diamond commercial where the people were in silhouette and only the diamond was visible. A man puts a necklace on a woman. The woman’s head starts to go down. Then the screen says: Diamonds. She’ll pretty much have to.

One of my favorite Family Guy scenes; two lesbians are at the counter of a sperm bank, the one says “…and we’d like an applicator shaped like Jodie Fosters knuckle.

My jaw dropped the first time I heard that, and then I laughed for twenty minutes.

A Blackadder line my brother quoted at me once: “Jane Pentallygen? Jane ‘Bury Me In A Y-Shaped Coffin’ Pentallygen?”

I had to run it through my brain for a couple of seconds, and when the visual hit, I gasped.

Their Captain and Tennille joke was so awesome, I think I went momentarily blind.

I love** this one**:

and **this episode** at 00:55 and 05:30:

I just remembered the moment the world found out for sure that Mary Richards wasn’t a virgin (of course, we suspected-- well, not “we”; I was too young, but I saw the episode in reruns, and I still got how it must have played in the early 70s).

Mary’s parents are visiting. Mary is walking through her apartment, having come from the bathroom (she may be getting ready to go out-- I don’t remember), just as her father is leaving through the front door, for some reason. Mary’s mother (played perfectly by Nanette Fabray) says “Don’t forget to take your pill.”

At the same time, Mary and her father both turn to her mother and say “I won’t.”

Suddenly, Mary has a look of horror.

I don’t remember how this moment resolved, but the audience laughed for a long time.

Another apocryphal Soupy line: “Every time I say F, you see K!”

And the old favorite (also apocryphal, I believe) from the Newlywed Game: “In the butt, Bob.”

How about the current Carl’s Jr. commercial for their pull-apart cinnamon bun things, where they encourage you to “pull one off.”

There are a lot of these on YouTube. My favorite is:

BOB EUBANKS: Name something your husband insists you never put on his wiener.

BIMBO HOUSEWIFE: Ben-Gay.

I wonder if this contributed to one of my comic strip contributions. I suggested the following to Hilary Price, and it showed up in Rhymes with Orange just a few weeks later:

Twenties couple climbing into bed, husband speaks: “Honey, did you remember your pill?”
Fifties couple climbing into bed, wife speaks: “Honey, did you remember your pill?”

Here’s the clip, starting at 01:25; I think it’s pretty clear she says “ass,” not “butt”:

Anybody remember the “Yeah, thanks, Viagra,” skits from SNL?

I may be missing the context here but this one’s over my head, despite my great reflexes.

Cock teaser. :cool:

[/QUOTE]

That clip was from a show that aired in 1978. I first heard the rumor in 1975, so the rumor predates the clip by at least 3 years.

Here’s what Mr Eubanks has to say about it:

This one is funny too, though not particularly smutty:
I know there are people this dumb everywhere, but it never fails to amaze me when I actually encounter one. :(
